• A. 27

Answer 1

The correct option is A 27
Radhika has three thousand three hundred and sixty nine candies.

$\text{The place value table for the given}\text{number is:}$
$$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Thousands}& \text{Hundreds}& \text{Tens}& \text{Ones}\\ 3& 3& 6& 9\end{array}$$

The given number can be written as:

$=(3\times 1000)+(3\times 100)+(6\times 10)+(9\times 1)=3,000+300+60+9$

$=3369$

$\Rightarrow$ Radhika has 3369 candies.

Ankita has three thousand three hundred and ninety six candies.
$\Rightarrow$ Jimmy has 3396 candies.

$\text{The place value table for the given}\text{number is:}$
$$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Thousands}& \text{Hundreds}& \text{Tens}& \text{Ones}\\ 3& 3& 9& 6\end{array}$$

The given number can be written as:

$=(3\times 1000)+(3\times 100)+(9\times 10)+(6\times 1)=3,000+300+90+6$

$=3396$

Difference in candies = 3396 - 3369 = 27.
Thus, Ankita has 27 more candies than Radhika.
