Solution

The correct option is A 1.20
Let's arrange the given numbers in the place value table.
O . t h
1 . 2 0
1 . 0 2

Starting from the left end,
  1. The digits in the ones place are equal for both the numbers (1.20 and 1.02)
  2. Compare the digits in the tenths place. As 2 > 0, hence, 1.20 > 1.02
1.20 is greater than 1.02
