Which of the following is greater than 2,000.02?
A. \(0.00020002 * 10^7\)
B. \(0.00020002 * 10^6\)
C. \(2.002 * 10^2\)
D. \(2.02 * 10^{(-4)}\)
E. \(200,0200 * 10^{(-4)}\)
Though this is a sub 600 level question, but it needs to be solved very very carefully.
Firstly, to find out the correct solutions and
Secondly, to do it in minimum time possible.
A simple mistake will cost you marks or time which is equivalent to marks. Though I did in 44 second but it should have been done in 25 seconds because I didn't noticed the difference between option A i.e. 2000.2 and 2000.02. A silly mistake. As soon as I completed option C , I realized that I have done some mistake and then rechecked to find that option A was correct .
Basically my mistake was to do the question in just 15 second and ultimately ended up with 44 second with some loss in confidence due to silly mistakes. If I would have planned to do in 25 seconds calmly and might have ended up doing in 10 seconds as option A was correct. So what I have learnt is if you go for solving very fast you are prone to do mistakes. So to get a better score solving is necessary in minimum time, but taking care of accuracy is also very important.
So here is the solution to the question.
A. 0.00020002 * 10^7 = 2000.2 >2000.02 .. We got the answer
You can check other options, just to be sure
B. 0.00020002 * 10^6 = 200.02 < 2000.02
C. 2.002 * 10^2 = 200.2 < 2000.02
D. \(2.02 * 10^{(-4)}\) = 0.000202 < 2000.02
E. \(200,0200 * 10^{(-4)}\) = 200.02 < 2000.02
And finally don't forget to give kudos..
