Hint: In this question, we will use a place value chart for finding our answer in numerals, for which number is given in words. Since, we are dealing with millions here, so we will use an international system of numeration for this question. We will first understand the international system of numeration and then use a place value chart for finding our answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the international system of numeration, we have values of place from right to left as one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million, hundred million and so on. Also, commas are put after every three places from right.
Now, let us draw a place value chart for the international system of numeration.
MillionsThousandsOnes
Hundred MillionTen MillionMillionHundred ThousandTen ThousandThousandHundredTensOnes
100,000,00010,000,0001,000,000100,00010,0001,000100101


Therefore, 100,000 = 100 thousand.
1,000,000 = 1 million
10,000,000 = 10 million and
100,000,000 = 100 million.
We are given sixty million and sixty six which means in the place value chart, 6 will be filled in the column of ten million. Also, 6 will be filled in the column of tens and one’s place. Rest all places will be zero, hence, we get:
MillionsThousandsOnes
Hundred MillionTen MillionMillionHundred ThousandTen ThousandThousandHundredTensOnes
60000066


Thus, the number becomes 60000066.
Putting comma after every three digit from right, we get:
60,000,066
Hence, sixty million and sixty six becomes 60,000,066 which is our required answer.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: Students should be careful for solving these numbers as there are lots of zeroes involved. The number for which any word is not given, we should put zero in place of that. Students should also be careful while putting commas as method for putting commas is different for Indian system of numeration and international system of numeration.
