Question

Darius wrote the number 84,273. Then he wrote a different number in which the digit 2 has 10 times the value it has in the number 84,273. Which could be the other number Jackson wrote? A 78,325 B 62,541 C 34,482 D 25,847

Answer 1

option B) 62541

Explanation:

The given number is 84273.

The number can be written as 80000+4000+200+70+3=84273.

Here in the given number, the digit 2 has value 200.

Given that, value of two in new number is ten times means, 200 x 10=2000.

thus, 2 should be at thousandth's place, which is only in 62541 in given options.

62541=60000+2000+500+40+1

while others are,

78325=70000+8000+300+20+5

34482=30000+4000+400+80+2

25874=20000+5000+800+70+4 ,

none of which has 2 at thousandth's place.
