• B. 10.379
• C. 10.376
• D. 10.378

Answer 1

The correct option is B 10.379

The four numbers given are 10.377, 10.379, 10.376 and 10.3778.

Let's analyse these numbers.

• If you look at the ones place of the three numbers, all the three numbers are having 10.
• If you look at the tenth place(after the decimal) of the three numbers, all the numbers are having 3.
• If you look at the hundredth place(after the decimal) of the three numbers, all the numbers are having 7.
• But, at the thousandth place(after the decimal) of the number 10.379 is 9, which is the largest among the three numbers (among 7,9,6 and 8).

Therefore, 10.379 is the largest among the three.
