Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The Indian numbering system names magnitudes as: one lakh = 1,00,000, one crore = 1,00,00,000, and further multiples (ten lakh, ten crore) scale these by powers of ten. The international system instead groups by thousand, million, and billion: one million = 1,000,000, one billion = 1,000,000,000.
One lakh = 1,00,000.
One hundred lakh = 100 x 1,00,000 = 1,00,00,000.
In the Indian numbering system, the amount 1,00,00,000 is named "one crore".
So "one hundred lakh" and "one crore" name the same quantity.
Converting to the international system for an independent check: 1,00,00,000 equals 10,000,000, i.e., ten million -- the same value already established for one crore. For comparison, the other listed terms are different values, shown below.
Term | Value |
|---|---|
One million | 1,000,000 |
One crore | 1,00,00,000 (= 10,000,000) |
Ten crore | 10,00,00,000 |
One billion | 1,000,000,000 |
