D.None

Answer 1

Hint: Here, we are required to find the numeral value of the given number. Since, the given number consists of millions hence, we will use the International system of numerals instead of the Indian one. We will draw a place value table and substituting the given numbers in the correct place in the table, we will be able to find the required numeral value of sixty million and sixty six.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In order to find the numerical answer of this question, we have to know about the international numeration system.
In the international system of expressing numbers, we have the place values of the numbers as Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, million, ten million, hundred million, billion, and so on.
If we observe the Indian system, then, we write the place values as Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, crores, ten crores, and so on.
Also, in the International system, commas are put after every 3 places starting from the units place. Whereas, in Indian system, after putting a comma after hundreds places, we put a comma after every two places.
Thus, both the systems are having a lot of differences.
Now, in order to find the numerical value, we will draw a place value table of the international system and substitute the given value in the table.

HUNDRED MILLION	TEN MILLION	MILLION	HUNDRED THOUSAND	TEN THOUSAND	THOUSAND	HUNDREDS	TENS	ONES
	6	0	0	0	0	0	6	6

We have drawn this table using the fact that we are given the number sixty million and sixty-six. Hence, sixty million represents six times of ten million. Thus, we will put a 6 under ten million. Also, sixty-six represents tens and ones digits respectively as sixty is 6 times of ten and six is just a single unit digit.
Thus, putting 0 in all the other places, we will get the required numeral value of sixty million and sixty-six.
Hence, sixty million and sixty six \[ = 60000066\]
But, we are also required to put a comma after every 3 places.
Hence, sixty million and sixty six \[ = 60,000,066\]
Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Note: While solving this question we should count the number of zeros correctly, because, if one extra zero is added then, this number would come under a hundred million whereas, if one zero is less, then, this will come just under a million. Hence, zeros place a very important role in such types of questions. Also, to find the required numeral value in just a few seconds, we can go through the given options as well. If noticed carefully, the number sixty-six appears only in options B and C and when counted the number of zeros, we will be able to find the required option stating sixty million and sixty-six respectively.
