Answer:

The number is 1988.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlo's outcome will be the greatest if Sorin's number will be the highest and Jiao's number is the lowest.

Sorin choose a three digit number, the highest three digit number is 999.

After doubled the number, 999, the outcome will be 1998.

Jiao chooses two-digit number, the lowest two-digit number is 10.

Hence, the greatest number that Carlo can get is (1998 - 10) = 1988.
