• A. 50
• B. 500
• C. 5
• D. 5000

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5000

The number given is 50000.

Let us represent the number in a place value table:

Place of 5 is at the ten thousand place.

For finding $\frac{1}{10}$ of 50000, we move to the next right of the place value of $50000$ in the chart.

We know, value of a digit is $\frac{1}{10}$ times the value of digit to its left.

∴ $\frac{1}{10}$ of 50000 will be at thousands place in the place value chart.

So, 50000 $\times$ $\frac{1}{10}$ = 5000
