Answer : 2. "60"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 60 Explanation: We know that, ● Each digit has a fixed position called its place. ● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit. ● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself ● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).   Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.
