Question

Wihich of the following is the correct order of numbers?

• A. $234<247<346<350<467<469$
• B. $234>247>346>350>467>469$
• C. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A $234<247<346<350<467<469$

We observe that all the numbers $234;247;346;350;467;469$ are 3-digit numbers.

To arrange these numbers, we must first look at the leading digits of each number, i.e., Hundreds place digit.

Here, 234 and 247 have same hundreds place digit i.e. 2. Hence we compare the next place digit, i.e. Tens place digit $\Rightarrow 3<4$

$\therefore 234<247$

Similarly, we verify the following numbers.

$\Rightarrow$ We compare the leading digits. If they are the same, we compare the next place and so on.

$\therefore$ The ascending order of the list of numbers is:

$234<247<346<350<467<469$

This order is the same as provided in Option (a)
Hence, Option (a) is correct.
