Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Option A

`1.\rightarrow 5.4 * 10^4=5.4 * 10000\\\\=54000`

`2.\rightarrow 5.4 * 10^3=5.4 * 1000\\\\=5400`

`3.\rightarrow 4.5 * 10^4=4.5 * 10000\\\\=45000`

Option B

`1.\rightarrow 5.4 * 10^3=5.4 * 1000\\\\=5400`

`2.\rightarrow 5.4 * 10^4=5.4 * 10000\\\\=54000`

`3.\rightarrow 4.5 * 10^4=4.5 * 10000\\\\=45000`

Option C

`1.\rightarrow 5.4 * 10^3=5.4 * 1000\\\\=5400`

`2.\rightarrow 4.5 * 10^4=4.5 * 10000\\\\=45000`

`3.\rightarrow 5.4 * 10^4=5.4 * 10000\\\\=54000`

Option D

`1.\rightarrow 4.5 * 10^4=4.5 * 10000\\\\=45000`

`2.\rightarrow 5.4 * 10^3=5.4 * 1000\\\\=5400`

`3.\rightarrow 5.4 * 10^4=5.4 * 10000\\\\=54000`

⇒Option C ,shows number and exponents from least to greatest.
