Question

467, 295, 929 and 931 arranged in descending order is given by ____.

• A. $929>931>467>295$
• B. $295>467>929>931$
• C. $931>467>929>295$
• D. $931>929>467>295$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $931>929>467>295$

Since the numbers have the same number of digits, we compare the place value of individual digits.

$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Number}& \text{Number of}& \text{Number of}& \text{Number of}\\ & \text{hundreds}& \text{tens}& \text{ones}\\ 467& 4& 6& 7\\ 295& 2& 9& 5\\ 929& 9& 2& 9\\ 931& 9& 3& 1\end{array}$

Greater the number of hundreds, greater is the number.
$\therefore 929,931>467>295$

We now have to compare 929 and 931.
929 has 2 tens and 931 has 3 tens. Since 3 is greater than 2, we have 931 to be greater than 929.

$\therefore 931>929>467>295$
