Let's solve the problem step by step by analyzing the two abacuses in the image. Each abacus represents a three-digit number based on the beads in the "Hundreds," "Tens," and "Ones" columns.

Abacus 1 (on the left):

• Hundreds: 3 beads
• Tens: 5 beads
• Ones: 7 beads

The number shown by this abacus is: $3 \times 100 + 5 \times 10 + 7 \times 1 = 300 + 50 + 7 = 357$

Abacus 2 (on the right):

• Hundreds: 1 bead
• Tens: 2 beads
• Ones: 4 beads

The number shown by this abacus is: $1 \times 100 + 2 \times 10 + 4 \times 1 = 100 + 20 + 4 = 124$

Difference between the two numbers:

Now, subtract the number shown on the second abacus from the first: $357 - 124 = 233$

It seems the answer choices don't match this result, so this might be either a misreading of the abacus representation or a mistake in the provided options. Can you confirm if any information was missed?
