Answer 1

The correct option is B $3$ hundred $+5$ hundred $+4$ tens $+5$ tens $+8$ ones

Given, $898$ chocolates are arranged in groups of hundreds, tens, and ones.
Let’s check all options one by one.

Option a
$1$ hundred $+1$ hundred $+7$ tens $+4$ ones $+5$ ones $=2$ hundreds $+7$ tens $+9$ ones
$2$ hundreds $+7$ tens $+9$ ones $=200+70+9=279$
So, option a is not equal to $898$.

Option b
$3$ hundred $+5$ hundred $+4$ tens $+5$ tens $+8$ ones $=8$ hundreds $+9$ tens $+8$ ones
$8$ hundreds $+9$ tens $+8$ ones $=800+90+8=898$
So, option b is equal to $898$.

Option c
$4$ hundred $+5$ hundred $+4$ tens $+2$ tens $+3$ ones $=9$ hundreds $+6$ tens $+3$ ones
$9$ hundreds $+6$ tens $+3$ ones $=900+60+3=963$
So, option c is not equal to $898$.

Thus, option b is the correct answer.
