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.

When we compare two numbers, we start from the left. 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. Finding the difference between them: 96 - 69 = 27
