Jon makes the largest number using the digits. The number formed by him is:

• A. $538$
• B. $888$
• C. $853$
• D. $385$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $853$

A larger digit at a larger place gives a larger number.
The number is formed as

First, we place the largest digit (among given digits) '$8$' at hundreds.


Then, we place the second largest digit (among given digits) '$5$' at tens.

We place the digit left '$3$' at ones place.

$\therefore$ The number formed is $853$.
