Detailed Solution

Given 35863-27677.
We know that if the number placed at the hundreds digit is less than 5, the number will become 0, and if the number is higher than or equal to 5, the number will become 10.
Thus, rounding off 35863 to the nearest thousand, the number placed at hundreds digit is equal to 8 which is greater than 5.
So, the number 35863 after rounding off will be 36000.
Similarly, rounding off 27677 to the nearest thousand, the number placed at hundreds digit is equal to 6 which is greater than 5.
So, the number 27677 after rounding off will be 28000.
Hence, our two numbers are 36000 and 28000, their difference will be
36000 – 28000 = 8000
So the given statement is false.
The correct statement is “The difference (35863-27677) after estimating each of the numbers to the nearest thousand is 8000”.
Therefore, the correct option is 2.
