Answer 2

The statement which correctly compares the two given number is:

Option: A

A. 36,899 > 34,901

Explanation:

In order to compare the same digits number we need to compare the numbers from left to the right.

Here we have two numbers as:

36,899 and 34,901.

Since, the ten thousand place digit is same i.e. 3.

Now we need to check the thousand place digit.

In 36,899 the thousand place digit is: 6

and in 34,901 the thousand place digit is: 4

6>4

Hence, we get that:

36,899 > 34,901
