Answer 1

The correct option is A 10.379

The four numbers given are 10.377, 10.379, 10.376 and 10.378.

Let's analyse these numbers.

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

Therefore, 10.379 is the largest among the three.
