Answer 1

The rule related to this problem is when it states 101 or 102 , that means the amount of zeroes behind the given number .

For example 103 would be 1000 because 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000

So, in this particular problem the answer would be number 3 because 103 = 1000 so then you have 6 × 1000 which then = 6000

Hope this helps!

thousand = 1000 = 1x10^3

6000=6x10^3
