Question

Which of the following number is the second largest?

• A. Half of 2456
• B. Quarter of 6400
• C. 1240
• D. Three-quarter of 2100

Answer 1

The correct option is D Three-quarter of 2100

Half of 2456 = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ 2456
= 1228

Quarter of 6400 = $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times$ 6400
= 1600

Three - Quarter of 2100
= $\frac{3}{4}$ $\times$ 2100
= 1,575

The digit at the thousands place for all the numbers is the same.

Comparing the digits at hundreds place:
2 < 5 < 6

That means, 1228 and 1240 are smaller than ,1,575 and 1600.

1,575 is smaller than 1600:

So, 1575 is the second largest.
