Large Numbers Around Us
"Large Numbers Around Us" here isn't about calculating faster — every question below is two people disagreeing about WHY an answer is right, not just what it is.

Kunal says 8 lakh and 80 lakh are both counted in 'lakh', so they are roughly similar-sized big numbers, no real difference. Is Kunal right?
