Question

$4952-3466=$

• A. $1486$
• B. $1500$
• C. $1596$
• D. $1514$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1486$

Aligning both the numbers according to Place value (starting from the right):

For ones place, we can't subtract $6$ ones from $2$ ones, as $6$ > $2$. Thus, we borrow $1$ tens from the $5$.

$1$ tens = $10$ ones.
Now, at the ones place, we first add $10+2=12$ ones. Subtracting $6$ from $12$ , we get $6$.

Now,for Tens place, we are left with $4$ . Again, we can't subtract $6$ tens from $4$ tens, as $6$ > $4$. Thus, we borrow $1$ hundred from the $9$.
Subtracting $6$ tens from $14$ tens, we get $8$ tens.

Now, for hundreds place,we are left with $8$. $8-4=4$ hundreds.

Now, for thousands place,$4$ is left. $4-3=1$ thousands.

Thus, the answer is $1486$.
