Answer :
To determine the correct increasing order from the given options, we need to arrange the numbers from the smallest to the largest.
Let's look at the numbers provided in the list:
- 524
- 542
- 425
- 452
- 254
- 245
To find the increasing order, we need to compare these numbers:
- Start by identifying the smallest number. In this case, the smallest number is 245.
- Next is 254, as it is larger than 245 but smaller than the others.
- The next smallest number is 425.
- Following 425 is 452.
- After 452 comes 524.
- Finally, the largest number is 542.
Therefore, the increasing order of the numbers is:
- 245
- 254
- 425
- 452
- 524
- 542
Now, let's match this order with the options provided:
Option (a) 524, 542, 425, 452, 254, 245
Option (b) 542, 524, 452, 425, 254, 245
Option (c) 542, 524, 425, 452, 245, 254
Option (d) 524, 542, 452, 425, 245, 254
None of these options clearly list the numbers in increasing order due to a misalignment. Typically, an increasing order from smallest to largest is required, and the correct sequence is:
245, 254, 425, 452, 524, 542
Therefore, the question may contain an oversight or the options were meant to be considered in a different understanding of order initially. In a standardized scenario of increasing order, the sequence is as listed above.
