• A. 50 Tens 5 ones
• B. 4 hundreds 9 Tens 9 ones
• C. Both are equal
• D. 5 Tens 50 ones

Answer 1

The correct option is A

50 Tens 5 ones

50 Tens 5 Ones = $50\times 10+5\times 1=500+5=505$

4 Hundreds, 9 Tens 9 Ones = $4\times 100+9\times 10+9\times 1=400+90+9=499$

$505>499$

Hence, 50 Tens 5 Ones is greater.
