Question

Which would be the proper order of the following in ascending order?
Trillion
Thousand
Billion
Hundred
Million

• A. d, b, c, a, e
• B. b, d, c, e, a
• C. c, b, d, e, a
• D. d, b, c, e, a

Hint:

To solve problems involving magnitudes like this, it's useful to remember the powers of 10: - \( 10^2 = 100 \) (Hundred) - \( 10^3 = 1,000 \) (Thousand) - \( 10^6 = 1,000,000 \) (Million) - \( 10^9 = 1,000,000,000 \) (Billion) - \( 10^{12} = 1,000,000,000,000 \) (Trillion) This helps in understanding the order of magnitude for large numbers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

We need to arrange the given terms in ascending order, from the smallest to the largest. Let's first define the terms: 1. Hundred: \( 100 \) 2. Thousand: \( 1,000 \) 3. Million: \( 1,000,000 \) 4. Billion: \( 1,000,000,000 \) 5. Trillion: \( 1,000,000,000,000 \) Now, we arrange these in ascending order of magnitude: \[ \text{Hundred}<\text{Thousand}<\text{Million}<\text{Billion}<\text{Trillion} \] So, the correct order is: \[ d, b, c, e, a \] Thus, the correct answer is (4) d, b, c, e, a.
