Explanation
To solve this question, remember that for every space the decimal in the base number moves to right, the power of ten should decrease by 1, and vice versa.
For choice (A), 100013=1015, so the decimal should not have moved.
In choice (B), moving the decimal 1 space to the right means that 1015 should decrease by 1 to become 1014.
Eliminate choices (A) and (B).
For choice (C), moving the decimal 1 space to the left means that the power should increase by 1; this is correct.
For choice (D), 10014 is equivalent to 1015, so this is correct.
For choice (E), moving the decimal 4 spaces to the left means that the power should increase by 4; this is not correct.
The correct answers are (C), (D).
