The correct option is D 6993

$Placevalue$ is the value represented by a digit in a number on the basis of its position.

$Inthenumber987654:$


The place value of 7 is 7,000.

The $facevalue$ of a number is the numeral itself.

In $987654$, the face value of 7 is 7.

Difference between the place value and face value of 7 = 7000 – 7
= 6993

Thus, the difference between the place value and the face value of 7 in 987654 is 6993.
