At a temple donation count, the actual amount collected was ₹38,460. A volunteer first rounded to the nearest thousand, then another rounded the ORIGINAL amount to the nearest ten thousand. What is the difference between the two rounded figures?

Question

Accepted Answer

₹2,000. Nearest thousand: 38,460 -> 38,000 (hundreds digit 4). Nearest ten thousand: 38,460 -> 40,000 (thousands digit 8). Difference = 40,000 - 38,000 = ₹2,000.
