Solution:

In the number 23200 , the first two is in the ten-thousands place :

  • Face Value of 2 = 2

  • Place Value of 2 = 2 × 10,000 = 20,000

Difference = Place Value – Face Value
= 20,000 – 2 = 19,998

So none of the given options (a–d) are correct for this actual difference.


But if the question is referring to the second two (i.e., in hundreds place):

  • Face Value = 2

  • Place Value = 2 × 100 = 200

  • Difference = 200 – 2 = 198

Correct Answer: b. 198

Option b that is 198.

Explanation: Place value= 200,Face value=2

Difference= 200-2=198.

Place value is the number multiplied with 100(since 2 is in hundred place) and face value is the number itself.

Another possible answer could have been 19998. That is 2 multiplied by 10000 to get the place value minus 2(face value) . But since it is not given in the options so we go with the first answer. Thank you.
