Oil	$89,712$	$1,23,80,256$
Lentil	$11,218$	$10,09,620$

Arrange the items in ascending order according to the revenue earned.

Answer 1

In order to compare numbers, the number with more digits is always greater than the number with less number of digits and if the two numbers have same number of digits, we compare from the left most place until there are unequal digits.

Ascending order of items according to the quantity sold are as follows: Lentil($10,09,620$)$<$Sugar ($51,13,376$)$<$Rice($56,49,756$)$<$Oil($1,23,80,256$)

Hence, ascending order of items according to the revenue earned are as follows:Lentil$<$Sugar$<$ Rice$<$Oil
