Question

Instead of subtracting 32570 from a number. If 23570 is subtracted. Then what can we say about the answer?

• A. Increased by 900
• B. Increased by 9000
• C. Decreased by 900
• D. Decreased by 9000

Answer 1

The correct option is B Increased by 9000

Let the number be $x$

We know, $32570>23570$

$\therefore$ $(x-32570)<(x-23570)$

$\Rightarrow$ The difference between the numbers $=32570-23570$

$=9000$

$\therefore$ We can say that, instead of subtracting $32570$ from number, if $23570$ is subtracted, then the answer can be increase by $9000$
