c) ‘8’ instead of ‘7’
d) ‘3’ instead of ‘9’
correct answer is: a) ‘8’ instead of ‘3’
Explanation
Here a student copied one figure wrongly and the answer came 5993750 .

\left(5993750\div8750\right)
\rightarrow 685
From the above comparison, we can see that the student incorrectly copied the 2 nd digit in the number of ‘635’ . The student mistakenly writing '8' instead of '3' .
Ans: The mistake he committed in copying was incorrectly writing down the second digit as ‘8’ instead of ‘3’.
