• A. Is less than
• B. Is greater than
• C. Is equal to
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Is less than

$\begin{array}{ccc}ThHTO& & ThHTO\\ 1456& & 1498\end{array}$

We start comparing the digit in the highest place value, here it is thousands
1 = 1, so we now compare the digits in the hundreds place.
4 = 4, so we now compare the digit in the tens place.
5 is less than 9
Hence
1456 is less than 1498.
