Answer 2

Answer:

The required number is option D - 5499.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : The greatest number which on rounding off to nearest thousands gives 5000?

Solution :

Round off to nearest 5000 is explained as number which rounds to get 5000.

Rules while rounding off to the nearest thousand :

1. If the digit in the hundred place is between 0 – 4 i.e., < 5, then the hundred place is replaced by ‘0’.

2. If the digit in the hundred place is = to or > 5, then the hundred place is replaced by ‘0’ and the thousands place is increased by 1.

Now, we have given following number rounding them :

A) 5001

The hundred place is 0 so the hundred place round to zero.

i.e. 5000.

B) 5559

The hundred place is 5 so the hundred place is zero and thousand place increase by 1.

i.e. 6000.

C) 5999

The hundred place is 9 so the thousand place increase by 1.

i.e. 6000.

D) 5499

The hundred place is 4 so the  hundred place round to zero.

i.e. 5000.

In among options only option A and D rounds to zero but the greatest number between them is option D.

Therefore, The required number is option D - 5499.
