Answer:- C is the right option


Explanation:-

Rewrite the given numbers in usual form

\(1.5\times10^4=1.5\times10000=15000\)

\(2.6\times10^{-2}=2.6\times\frac{1}{100}=0.026\)

\(3.5\times10^2=3.5\times100=350\)

\(6.2\times10^{-1}=6.2\times\frac{1}{10}=0.62\)

The numbers in order from least to greatest

\(\rightarrow0.026,0.62,350,15000\)

OR

\(2.6\times10^{-2},6.2\times10^{-1},3.5\times10^2,1.5\times10^4\)

∴ C is the right option.
