Answer 1

Hint: To answer this question first we have to understand the place value of any digit in a number and also remember the sequence of place values so that we can answer directly in a very short time. Like unit place , tens place , hundredth place , thousand place , ten thousandth place , lakhs place , ten lakhs place , crores place , ten crore place and so on.

Complete step-by-step answer:
First we have to understand what place value is.
Place value:
In math, every digit in a number has a place value. Place value can be defined as the value represented by a digit in a number on the basis of its position in the number.
As for example in 352 the ‘5’ is at the tens place so its place value is 10.
Here we have given,
3402894 we have to find a place value of zero.
Here ‘0’ is at the ten thousandths place so its place value is ten thousand.
Hence option B is the correct option.

Note: Whenever we get this type of question the key concept of solving is we have to make sure that these all are for natural numbers but when we get decimal numbers like 17.591 the 9 is in the hundredths place so its place value is 0.01. so we have to be careful when we get decimal numbers.
