Question

$3,426-1,260=$ .

• A. $2,260$
• B. $2,166$
• C. $2,060$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2,166$

To find: $3,426-1,260$

First aligning both the numbers according to Place Value table,



For doing subtraction,
One's digit of minuend must be subtracted by one's digit of subtrahend, ten's digit of minuend must be subtracted by ten's digit of subtrahend and so on ...

So, first subtracting the digits at Ones place,



Now subtracting the digits at Tens place, we get

$2-6$, which is not possible

As we know that,

$3,426=3$ Thousands $+4$ Hundreds $+2$ Tens $+6$ Ones

But, $1$ Hundreds $=10$ Tens

3 Thousands + 4 Hundreds + 2 Tens + 6 Ones = 3 Thousands + 3 Hundreds + 12 Tens + 6 Ones

Therefore, for subtracting Digits at Tens place, we will borrow 1 Hundreds from 4 Hundreds.

So, digit at Tens place will become $12$.


Therefore,


So, $3426-1260=2166.$
