Answer 2

Given:

The numerical value= 500

To find:

Closest number to 500 from the given options =?

Solution:

The closest number to the given value 500 can be found in the following steps by considering all the options:

Step 1: Subtract the given value from 500 if it is smaller than 500

Step 2: Subtract 500 from the given value if it is greater than 500

Step 3: The smallest result obtained is the number closest to 500

Option A: 477

500 - 477

= 23

Option B: 515

515 - 500

= 15

Option C: 488

500 - 488

=12

Option D: 522

522 - 500

= 22

=> 12 is the smallest result among all the given options.

Hence, the closest number to 500 is 488 (option C).
