Answer:- C is the right option


Explanation:-

Rewrite the given numbers in usual form


1.5*10^4=1.5*10000=15000


2.6*10^(-2)=2.6*(1)/(100)=0.026


3.5*10^2=3.5*100=350


6.2*10^(-1)=6.2*(1)/(10)=0.62

The numbers in order from least to greatest


\rightarrow0.026,0.62,350,15000

OR


2.6*10^(-2),6.2*10^(-1),3.5*10^2,1.5*10^4

∴ C is the right option.
