Difference between the place values of ‘3’ in 3116365 is
A. 2999700
B. 3000700
C. 2990700
D. None

Hint: Place value is the value of a digit in a number. In a number with more than 1 digit, the no. of place values will be equal to the no. of digits of the number. And all the place values are different from each other. So to find a place value of a digit, multiply the digit value with its place (can be hundredth, tenth, thousandth etc). Here we have two 3s in 3116365. One is in ten lakhs place and another is in hundredth place. Find the place values and then their difference.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We are given to find the difference between the place values of ‘3’ in 3116365.
3116365 is a 7 digit number, which means it has 7 place values.
3116365 have two 3s. One is at hundredth place and another is at ten lakhs places.
The place value of 3 in the hundredth place is $ 3 \times 100 = 300 $
The place value of 3 in the ten lakhs place is $ 3 \times 1000000 = 3000000 $
As all the given options are positive, the difference must be positive.
So subtract the smaller place value from the larger place value.
3000000 is larger than 300.
Therefore, the difference between the place values of ‘3’ in 3116365 is $ 3000000 - 300 = 2999700 $
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: Do not confuse that the place value is the place itself like the place of value of 6 in 362 is 60 not 10 as it is in tenth place. Be careful with this. And if a digit of a number is zero, then the place value of that particular digit is also zero.
