Fill in the Blanks: (a) 1 lakh = _______ ten thousand. (b) 1 million = _______ hundred thousand. (c) 1 crore = _______ ten lakh. (d) 1 crore = _______ million. (e) 1 million = _______ lakh

Answer :

To fill in the blanks with the solution, first, we need to comprehend how to represent the given terms numerically and which system to follow: the Indian Number system or International Number System and then begin to solve the given quantity into the desired result.

Following are the steps to the solution :

It is known that 

1 lakh = 100000 (5 zeroes), which can also be written as 

1 lakh = 100000 = 10×10000 = 10×ten thousand.

Therefore, 

One lakh = 10 ten thousand.

Now,

1 million = 10,00000 (6 zeroes), 

(As per the previous step)

1 million = 10×10x ten thousand=10×10×10000

hundred thousand.

So 10 lakh can be written as 10×hundred thousand.

Moving further,

one crore =100 lakh, 

which can be written as,

1 crore = 10×10 lakh=10 ten lakh.

Thus 1 crore = 10 ten lakh.

Again, 

1 crore = 100 lakh =10×10 lakh

=10×1 million = 10 million.

And lastly, 

1 million which can be written as 10 lakh.

So our required solution is

  1. A) 1 lakh      = 10 ten thousand.
  2. B) 1 million  = 10 hundred thousand.
  3. C) 1 crore    = 10 ten lakh.
  4. D) 1 crore    = 10 million.
  5. E) 1 million  = 10 lakh.

Note: While solving any number-related problems, you need to know that whenever we write zero alongside 1, this will give us a new quantity. Like if we write 10, then this is called a ten.
