Answer:

- It helps India developed its economy

- It helps India in their scientific development.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without a numeral system, trades wouldn't be able to exist. People need a away to express the value of a product in a specific way.

For example, Let's say the price of the rice is 100 Rupee/ Kg. If we don't understand the concept of numerical value, we wouldn't be able to know the price of that rice per kg.

The same principle exist in scientific research. Numeral system allowed us to make a correct measurement when we observe how a certain variable interact with the other. Without it, we wouldn't be able to pinpoint an accurate conclusion for our scientific researches.
