Hint: There are four periods in Indian place value system. They are ones, thousands, lakhs and crore. Find out ten lakhs comes under which period among these four.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We know that according to the Indian number system there are four periods.
First one is one. Which contains the ones place, the tens place and the hundreds place.
The second one is thousands. Which contains the thousands place and the ten thousands place.

The third one is lakhs. Which contains the lakhs place and the ten lakhs place.
