• B. 35,670
• C. 34,538

Answer 1

The correct option is C 34,538

Sam scored the lowest points in the race.

To identify Sam's score, we have to find out the smallest number from the given numbers.

As we know that while comparing some numbers, we always begin with the leftmost digit of the number.

So, at first, we will write the numbers in the place value chart.


In the given numbers, the numbers at ten thousands place is the same.

So, we compare the digits at the thousands place as all of them are different.


We can clearly see that 4 is the smallest digit at the thousands place.

So, 34,538 is the smallest among all three given numbers.

∴ Sam scored 34,538 points.
