Question

Identify the greatest number among the following: 10651, 10967, 9659, 7861

• A. 10651
• B. 7861
• C. 9659
• D. 10967

Answer 1

The correct option is D 10967

We know that,
Number with less digits < Number with more digits
So, 9659 and 7861 are smaller than 10651 and 10967.

Now comparing 10651 and 10967:
Starting to compare the digits from left hand side, it can be seen that the first 2 digits (digits at ten thousands and thousands place) are the same, i.e., 1 and 0.
Now, let's look at the digits are hundreds place.
Since 6 < 9, 10651 < 10967.
So, among the given numbers, 10967 is the greatest.
