MCQ 21 Mark
Mark the correct alternative in the following: $2985$ is rounded off to the nearest hundred and the nearest tens. The difference between the two values is:
  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $100$
  • $10$
  • D
    $150$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$10$
In $2985$ the last two digits i.e., $85$ is greater than $50$.
Hence, $1$ will be added to the $3$rd last digit and the last two digits will become zero.
After rounding to nearest hundred we will get $3000$.
Again, In $2985$ the last digit i.e., $5$ is equal to $5$.
Hence, $1$ will be added to the $2$nd last digit and the last digit will become zero.
After rounding to nearest ten we will get $2990$.
Required difference $= 3000 - 2990 = 10$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(c)$.
