• A. Method 2
• B. Both the methods are correct.
  
• C. Method 1
  
• D. Both the methods are incorrect.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Method 2

Detailed step-by-step solution:
In Method 1, 25 is incorrectly broken apart as 25 and 1. The correct equation should be 25 = 20 + 5.
Method 2 shows the correct decomposition.
The total number of fields is 47.
47 has 4 Tens and 7 Ones.

Tens	Ones

Hence, Option B is correct.
