Correct Answer:

6864

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 6864

1. Divide 6650 by 429 to find the quotient:

$6650 \div 429 \approx 15.501$

2. Find the two surrounding multiples:

  • Lower Multiple: Multiply 429 by the whole number part (15).

$429 \times 15 = 6435$

  • Upper Multiple: Multiply 429 by the next whole number (16).

$429 \times 16 = 6864$

3. Compare the distances from 6650:

  • Distance to 6435: $6650 - 6435 = 215$
  • Distance to 6864: $6864 - 6650 = 214$

Conclusion:

Since 214 is smaller than 215, the integer 6864 is closer to 6650.
