• D. $\overline{9}54$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$954$

Subtract 2293 from 3247,

Step 1) Take the digits in the units place and subtract,

$7-3=4$

Step 2) Take the digits in the tens place and subtract,

$4-9=-5$. This is negative. Hence,

Carry add $1$ to digit in hundreds place in $2293$, i.e., $2$. This is represented by a dot in the above picture. Hence digit in hundreds place becomes $3$

Step 3) Now add the tens digit in $3247$, i.e., $4$ to $10-9=1$, which becomes $5$

Step 4) Take the digits in the hundreds place and subtract,

$2-3=-1$($3$ because of the carry forward). This is negative. Hence,

Carry add $1$ to digit in thousands place in $2293$, i.e., $2$. This is represented by a dot in the above picture. Hence digit in hundreds place becomes $3$

Step 5) Now add the hundreds digit in $3247$, i.e., $2$ to $10-3=7$, which becomes $9$

Step 6) Take the digits in the thousands place and subtract,

$3-3=0$($3$ because of the carry forward)

Hence, the answer in $954$ Option A.
