Question

What will the result be if you subtract 1 from the smallest 5-digit number?

• A. Largest 4-digit number
• B. Smallest 4-digit number
• C. Largest 3-digit number
• D. Smallest 3-digit number

Answer 1

The correct option is A Largest 4-digit number

The smallest 5-digit number is 10000.

10000 – 1 = 9999

But, 9999 is the largest 4-digit number.

Thus, when you subtract 1 from the smallest 5-digit number, we get the largest 4-digit number.
