Question

The greatest number which on rounding off to nearest thousands gives $5000$, is

• A. $5001$
• B. $5559$
• C. $5999$
• D. $5499$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$5499$

When you have to round off a term to the nearest thousand value, then the hundreds digit of that number will be the decider

If the number is $5$or more then it will go up or if it is $4$ or less, it will move down. Here it is $0$ so it moves to $4$.

For the unit and tens digit, all you need to do is to make them the largest number that will be $0$.

So, The greatest number which on rounding off to nearest thousands gives $5000$, is $5499$.

Hence, the right option is (D)$5499$.
