Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the amounts of e-waste generated in a region for 2 years were 14,200,000 tons and 10,700,000 tons.

We need to find the total E – waste generated in the region for these two years.

Total E – waste generated in the region for these two years is

\(Total=14200000+10700000\)

\(Total=24900000\)

We need to convert it in scientific notation.

\(Total=2.49\times 10000000\)

\(Total=2.49\times 10^7\)

Therefore the correct option is A.
