Q1.
1. Ram wrote 7 Thousand 0 Hundreds 2 Tens 4 Ones as 724. Is this correct? Write the correct number
Answer
No, it is not correct.
Ram left out the 0. A place value chart has one box for every place, and an empty place must show 0.

7024
7000 + 0 + 20 + 4 = 7024 Correct number = 7024
Why it happens: 724 has only three digits, so its 7 sits in the Hundreds place, not the Thousands place. The 0 is a place holder — it pushes the 7 into the Thousands place.
Q2.
2. Richa wrote 5 Thousand 6 Hundreds 0 Tens 3 Ones as 563. Is this correct? Write the correct number
Answer
No, it is not correct.
Richa left out the 0 that belongs in the Tens place.

5603
5000 + 600 + 0 + 3 = 5603 Correct number = 5603
Why it happens: without the 0 the 3 slips into the Tens place and the number becomes ten times too small. 5603 is far bigger than 563.
