Answer

Let us first consider Statement I.

In 126, the digit 6 is at the ones place. Place value of 6 = 6 × 1 = 6.

In 621, the digit 6 is at the hundreds place. Place value of 6 = 6 × 100 = 600.

Since 6 ≠ 600, the place values are different.

∴ Statement I is true.

Now let us consider Statement II.

The place value of a non-zero digit depends upon the place it occupies in the given number. This is a fundamental property of the place value system.

∴ Statement II is true.

Thus, both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
