Solution
The correct option is A 96, 27
Sixty-nine is nothing but 69 in words. Similarly, ninety-six is equal to 96.
In the number 69, we have 6 at the tens' place and 9 at the ones' place. Additionally, in 96, we have 9 at the tens' place and 6 at the ones' place.
So comparing 69 and 96 we start from the tens place. In 69, 6 is at the tens' place. In 96, 9 is at the tens' place. Clearly, 9 is greater than 6, or 9 > 6.
Thus, it can be concluded that 69 < 96.
The difference between them is
96 - 69 = 27
