Question

Read the number 7,88,789.
A. Seventy-eight thousand eight hundred seven eighty-nine
B. Seventy-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-nine
C. Seven lakhs eighty-eight thousand seven hundred eighty-nine
D. Seven lakh eight thousand and eighty-seven thousand eighty-nine

Answer 1

Hint: To solve this question we just need to have a knowledge of the place value and the digit placed in that place is called what. So this is enough I guess! We will also check why other options are not correct.

Complete step by step solution:
We will use a table of place values to get the answer. Maximum place value that is in the option is lakh. So starting from units place we will end at lakh.

A.Seventy-eight thousand eight hundred seven eighty-nine

lakh	Ten thou.	Thousand	Hundred	Ten	Unit
	7	8	8	7

B.Seventy-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-nine

lakh	Ten thou.	Thousand	Hundred	Ten	Unit
	7	8	8	8	9

Here we have filled the numbers properly but it is not the same as the given above.

C.Seven lakhs eighty-eight thousand seven hundred eighty-nine

lakh	Ten thou.	Thousand	Hundred	Ten	Unit
7	8	8	7	8	9

This is the perfect case. In this all the numbers are placed well and it is the same as the number given.
So, this is the correct option. Thus, we will tick out C as the answer.
We will not check for option D because it is written like two different numbers. So we will not go for it.
So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note: Students note that these questions are not confusing in solving but are confusing when we read the options. So read all options carefully. In the last two options it is written lakh so we should read both first. Because in the last option it is written hundred in first part and then again in second part. This is not the way to write.
