Solution
The correct option is B 6000
When we round off a number to the nearest 100, we find the multiples of 100 that are just before and after the number.
Next, we check the last two digits of the number. If the last two digits equal 50 or more, we round off the number to the higher value.
The closest multiples of 100 while rounding off 5985 are 5900 and 6000.
Since 85 > 50, 5985 is rounded off to 6000.
We can see on the number line above that 5985 is closer to 6000 than 5900.
