Answer 1

Hint: In the international place value chart, the ones section consists of ones (O), tens (T) and hundreds (H). The thousands section consists of thousands (Th), ten thousands (TTh), and hundred thousands (HTh). Then comes the millions sections which consists of millions (M), ten millions (TM), and hundred millions (HM). We will place commas before hundreds and hundred thousands.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Let us recollect how numbers are represented using international place value charts. In the international place value chart, the ones section consists of ones (O), tens (T) and hundreds (H). The thousands section consists of thousands (Th), ten thousands (TTh), and hundred thousands (HTh). Then comes the millions sections which consists of millions (M), ten millions (TM), and hundred millions (HM). Let us tabulate this.

We will place commas before hundreds and hundred thousands. Now, let us consider the given number 185367249 . We have to place zeroes before hundreds and hundreds of thousands.
\[\Rightarrow 185,367,249\]

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note: Students should never get confused with Indian place value system and International place value system. In Indian place value system, the ones section will be the same as the latter. The thousands section will contain only thousands (Th), and ten thousands (TTh). Then comes the Lakhs section which contain lakhs (L) and ten lakhs (TL). The last section is the crores which contains crores (C) and ten crores (TC). We have to place commas before hundreds, ten thousands and ten lakhs. We can write 185367249 in Indian place value system as 18,53,67,249.
