• B. Adults
• C. Both catergories have equal number of viewership.
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A Children

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

At first, we write the numbers in the place value chart.


For the given numbers, the digits at ten thousands place is same.

So, we compare the digits at thousands place.


We can clearly see that 4 is smaller than 7 at thousands place.

So 34,550 is the smaller number.

∴ The children category has less viewership in number as compared to the adults category.
