Question

Ten lakh = ……………………………………..
A.10 million
B.1 million
C.100 million
D.10 crore

Answer 1

Hint: We have heard about people using different terms for the same number. As we know according to the Indian number system 1000 is termed as thousand and not as ten hundred while in case of international number system this is not the same case. Although, the Indian numbering unit system and international numbering unit system is different from one another

Complete step-by-step answer:
Now, in Indian numbering unit system,
One lakh is equal to 100000
While in the international unit system it is equal to hundred thousand.
Similarly, the million terms is used in the international numbering system.
The relation between the Indian numbering system and international number system is
1 Lakh = 100 Thousands = 1 followed by 5 Zeros = 100,000
10 Lakhs = 1 Million = 1 followed by 6 Zeros = 1,000,000
Similarly here, 1 Crore = 10 Million = 1 followed by 7 Zeros = 10,000,000
From the above it is clear that the correct option is B.

Additional information- As per the Indian unit numbering system:
1-Ones
10-Tens
100-Hundred
1000-Thousand
10,000-Ten thousand
1,00,000-One Lakh
10,00,000-Ten Lakh
1,00,00,000-One crore
10,00,00,000-Ten Crore

As per the international unit numbering system:
1-Ones
10-Tens
100-Hundred
1000-Thousand
10,000-Ten thousand
100,000-Hundred thousand
1,000,000-Million
10,000,000-Ten Million
100,000,000-Hundred million
1,000,000,000-Billion
10,000,000,000-Ten Billion

Note:In order to solve these types of questions, remember the concept behind the Indian and international unit numbering system. The point to keep in mind is that till 10,000 both the systems have the same units and after that the units change.
