I don't know if I understand this question that well, but if I am right, the first digit of the question you are asking is 5, and it is in the hundreds place. If this is not what you mean, then can you put more description in this question please?

√8 is between 2 and 3, because 2²=4<8, but 3²=9>8. Also, our value is closer to 3 than to 2, so it is more than 2.5 and we have C and D options left.
Among these two numbers we find the one which is closer to √8.
C. 27=√729 ⇒ 2.7=√7.29
D. 28=√784 ⇒ <u>2.8=√7.84</u>
