Objective Type Questions

Question 1. Which of the following is a natural number?

(A) $\frac{3}{4}$

(B) 0

(C) 5

(D) -2

Answer:

Given Options:

(A) $\frac{3}{4}$

(B) 0

(C) 5

(D) -2


Solution:

Natural numbers are the positive integers starting from 1. The set of natural numbers is $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, \dots\}$.

Let's examine each option:

(A) $\frac{3}{4}$ is a fraction, which is a rational number.

(B) 0 is a whole number, but in the standard definition, it is not considered a natural number.

(C) 5 is a positive integer, which is a natural number.

(D) -2 is a negative integer, which is not a natural number.

Therefore, 5 is the only natural number among the given options.


The final answer is (C) 5.

Question 2. The successor of the largest 3-digit natural number is:

(A) 999

(B) 1000

(C) 998

(D) 1001

Answer:

Given Options:

(A) 999

(B) 1000

(C) 998

(D) 1001


Solution:

First, we need to identify the largest 3-digit natural number.

The natural numbers are the counting numbers starting from 1: $\{1, 2, 3, \dots\}$.

The 3-digit natural numbers range from 100 to 999.

The largest 3-digit natural number is 999.

Next, we need to find the successor of this number.

The successor of a natural number $n$ is the natural number that comes immediately after $n$. It is obtained by adding 1 to the number, i.e., $n + 1$.

The successor of 999 is $999 + 1$.

Let's perform the addition:

$\begin{array}{cc} & 9 & 9 & 9 \\ + & & & 1 \\ \hline & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

So, the successor of 999 is 1000.

Now we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 999 is the number itself.
  • (B) 1000 is the successor we calculated.
  • (C) 998 is the predecessor of 999 ($999 - 1$).
  • (D) 1001 is the successor of 1000.

The correct option is (B).


The final answer is (B) 1000.

Question 3. Assertion (A): All natural numbers are whole numbers.

Reason (R): The set of whole numbers includes 0 and all natural numbers.

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(C) A is true but R is false.

(D) A is false but R is true.

Answer:

Assertion (A): All natural numbers are whole numbers.

Reason (R): The set of whole numbers includes 0 and all natural numbers.


Solution:

Let's analyze the given Assertion (A) and Reason (R).

The set of natural numbers, denoted by $\mathbb{N}$, is the set of positive integers: $\{1, 2, 3, 4, \dots\}$.

The set of whole numbers, denoted by $\mathbb{W}$, is the set of natural numbers including zero: $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, \dots\}$.

Analysis of Assertion (A): "All natural numbers are whole numbers."

Comparing the sets $\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbb{W}$, we can see that every element in the set of natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) is also present in the set of whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).

Thus, the statement "All natural numbers are whole numbers" is true.

Analysis of Reason (R): "The set of whole numbers includes 0 and all natural numbers."

By definition, the set of whole numbers is formed by adding 0 to the set of natural numbers. So, the set of whole numbers consists of 0 and all the elements of the set of natural numbers.

Thus, the statement "The set of whole numbers includes 0 and all natural numbers" is true.

Now, let's check if Reason (R) is the correct explanation for Assertion (A).

Assertion (A) claims that every natural number is a whole number. Reason (R) explains what constitutes the set of whole numbers, stating that it contains 0 and all natural numbers. This definition provided in Reason (R) directly explains why every element belonging to the set of natural numbers must also belong to the set of whole numbers.

Therefore, Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).

Based on the analysis, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).


The final answer is (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Question 4. In the Indian place value chart, the period to the left of Lakhs period is:

(A) Thousands

(B) Crores

(C) Ones

(D) Millions

Answer:

Given Options:

(A) Thousands

(B) Crores

(C) Ones

(D) Millions


Solution:

In the Indian place value chart, numbers are grouped into periods from right to left. The periods are:

  • Ones (Units, Tens, Hundreds)
  • Thousands (Thousands, Ten Thousands)
  • Lakhs (Lakhs, Ten Lakhs)
  • Crores (Crores, Ten Crores)
  • Arabs (Arabs, Ten Arabs)
  • and so on.

Let's list the periods in order from right to left:

Ones $\rightarrow$ Thousands $\rightarrow$ Lakhs $\rightarrow$ Crores $\rightarrow$ Arabs $\rightarrow$ ...

The question asks for the period to the left of the Lakhs period.

Looking at the sequence, the period immediately to the left of the Lakhs period is the Crores period.

Let's check the options:

  • (A) Thousands is to the right of Lakhs.
  • (B) Crores is to the left of Lakhs.
  • (C) Ones is far to the right of Lakhs.
  • (D) Millions is a period used in the International place value system, not the Indian system periods.

The correct option is (B).


The final answer is (B) Crores.

Question 5. How many lakhs make one crore?

(A) 10

(B) 100

(C) 1000

(D) 10000

Answer:

Given Options:

(A) 10

(B) 100

(C) 1000

(D) 10000


Solution:

In the Indian numbering system, we use terms like Lakh and Crore.

Let's define the values of Lakh and Crore:

1 Lakh = 1,00,000 (One hundred thousand)

1 Crore = 1,00,00,000 (Ten million)

We want to find out how many Lakhs make one Crore. This means we need to find a number $N$ such that:

$N \times 1 \text{ Lakh} = 1 \text{ Crore}$

Substituting the values:

$N \times 1,00,000 = 1,00,00,000$

To find $N$, we divide 1,00,00,000 by 1,00,000:

$$N = \frac{1,00,00,000}{1,00,000}$$

We can perform the division by cancelling the zeros. 1,00,000 has 5 zeros, and 1,00,00,000 has 7 zeros.

$$N = \frac{1\underbrace{0000000}_{7 \text{ zeros}}}{1\underbrace{00000}_{5 \text{ zeros}}}$$

Cancelling 5 zeros from both numerator and denominator:

$$N = \frac{100 \times \cancel{100000}}{\cancel{100000}}$$

$$N = 100$$

So, 100 Lakhs make one Crore.

Comparing this result with the given options:

  • (A) 10
  • (B) 100
  • (C) 1000
  • (D) 10000

The correct option is (B).


The final answer is (B) 100.

Question 6. The number 4,05,00,108 is read as:

(A) Four crore five lakh one hundred eight

(B) Forty lakh five thousand one hundred eight

(C) Four crore fifty thousand one hundred eight

(D) Forty-five lakh one hundred eight

Answer:

Given Options:

(A) Four crore five lakh one hundred eight

(B) Forty lakh five thousand one hundred eight

(C) Four crore fifty thousand one hundred eight

(D) Forty-five lakh one hundred eight


Solution:

The given number is 4,05,00,108.

This number is written using the Indian place value system, which groups digits into periods from right to left as: Ones, Thousands, Lakhs, Crores, etc.

Let's break down the number according to these periods:

  • The last three digits (108) are in the Ones period.
  • The next two digits (00) are in the Thousands period.
  • The next two digits (05) are in the Lakhs period.
  • The remaining digit (4) is in the Crores period.

So, the number can be written as:

4 Crores, 05 Lakhs, 00 Thousands, 108 Ones

Now, let's read the number by reading the digits in each period followed by the name of the period (except for the ones period, where the number is read directly).

  • Crores period: 4 is read as "Four". So, "Four crore".
  • Lakhs period: 05 is read as "Five". So, "Five lakh".
  • Thousands period: 00 is read as "Zero". Since the value is zero, this part is usually omitted when reading the full number unless needed for clarity in specific contexts.
  • Ones period: 108 is read as "One hundred eight".

Combining these parts, the number 4,05,00,108 is read as "Four crore five lakh one hundred eight".

Now we compare this reading with the given options:

  • (A) Four crore five lakh one hundred eight - This matches our reading.
  • (B) Forty lakh five thousand one hundred eight - This does not match. The number starts with 4 crore, not 40 lakh.
  • (C) Four crore fifty thousand one hundred eight - This does not match. It is five lakh, not fifty thousand.
  • (D) Forty-five lakh one hundred eight - This does not match. The number starts with 4 crore 5 lakh, not 45 lakh.

Therefore, option (A) is the correct reading.


The final answer is (A) Four crore five lakh one hundred eight.

Question 7. Which of the following is NOT a correct statement about the Indian System of Numeration?

(A) The first period from the right is the Ones period.

(B) The Thousands period has two places: Ten Thousands and Thousands.

(C) The Crores period has two places: Ten Crores and Crores.

(D) Commas are placed after every three digits from the right.

Answer:

Given Options:

(A) The first period from the right is the Ones period.

(B) The Thousands period has two places: Ten Thousands and Thousands.

(C) The Crores period has two places: Ten Crores and Crores.

(D) Commas are placed after every three digits from the right.


Solution:

Let's examine each statement regarding the Indian System of Numeration.

Statement (A): The first period from the right is the Ones period.

In the Indian place value chart, the periods from right to left are Ones, Thousands, Lakhs, Crores, and so on. The first period starting from the right is indeed the Ones period, which consists of Units, Tens, and Hundreds places.

This statement is correct.

Statement (B): The Thousands period has two places: Ten Thousands and Thousands.

The Thousands period in the Indian system is placed to the left of the Ones period. It consists of two places: the Thousands place and the Ten Thousands place.

This statement is correct.

Statement (C): The Crores period has two places: Ten Crores and Crores.

The Crores period is placed to the left of the Lakhs period. It consists of two places: the Crores place and the Ten Crores place.

This statement is correct.

Statement (D): Commas are placed after every three digits from the right.

In the Indian System of Numeration, commas are used to separate the periods. The first comma is placed after the Hundreds place (3 digits from the right) to separate the Ones period from the Thousands period. However, the subsequent commas are placed after every two digits from the right of the previous comma, separating the Thousands period from the Lakhs period, the Lakhs period from the Crores period, and so on.

For example, the number 123456789 is written as 12,34,56,789 in the Indian system. The commas are placed after 3 digits, then 2 digits, then 2 digits from the right.

Therefore, placing commas after *every* three digits from the right is characteristic of the International System of Numeration, not the Indian System.

This statement is incorrect.

We are looking for the statement that is NOT a correct statement about the Indian System of Numeration.

Based on our analysis, Statement (D) is incorrect.


The final answer is (D) Commas are placed after every three digits from the right.

Question 8. In the International System, the period to the left of Millions period is:

(A) Thousands

(B) Billions

(C) Trillions

(D) Crores

Answer:

Given Options:

(A) Thousands

(B) Billions

(C) Trillions

(D) Crores


Solution:

In the International System of Numeration, numbers are grouped into periods from right to left. Each period, except the first one, consists of three places.

The periods in the International System are:

  • Ones (Hundreds, Tens, Ones)
  • Thousands (Hundred Thousands, Ten Thousands, Thousands)
  • Millions (Hundred Millions, Ten Millions, Millions)
  • Billions (Hundred Billions, Ten Billions, Billions)
  • Trillions (Hundred Trillions, Ten Trillions, Trillions)
  • and so on.

Let's list the periods in order from right to left:

Ones $\rightarrow$ Thousands $\rightarrow$ Millions $\rightarrow$ Billions $\rightarrow$ Trillions $\rightarrow$ ...

The question asks for the period to the left of the Millions period.

Looking at the sequence, the period immediately to the left of the Millions period is the Billions period.

Let's check the options:

  • (A) Thousands is to the right of Millions.
  • (B) Billions is to the left of Millions.
  • (C) Trillions is to the left of Billions, so it is further to the left of Millions.
  • (D) Crores is a period used in the Indian place value system, not the International system periods.

The correct option is (B).


The final answer is (B) Billions.

Question 9. The number 567,891,234 is read as:

(A) Five hundred sixty-seven crore eighty-nine lakh twelve thousand three hundred thirty-four

(B) Five hundred sixty-seven million eight hundred ninety-one thousand two hundred thirty-four

(C) Five hundred sixty-seven thousand eight hundred ninety-one million two hundred thirty-four

(D) Five hundred sixty-seven million eighty-nine thousand one hundred twenty-three

Answer:

Given:

The number 567,891,234.

To Find:

How to read the given number in the International System of Numeration.


Solution:

The given number is 567,891,234. This number is written using commas according to the International System of Numeration. In this system, digits are grouped in sets of three from the right, and each group represents a period.

The periods in the International System, from right to left, are:

  • Ones (Units, Tens, Hundreds)
  • Thousands (Thousands, Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands)
  • Millions (Millions, Ten Millions, Hundred Millions)
  • Billions (Billions, Ten Billions, Hundred Billions)
  • and so on.

Let's group the digits of the number 567,891,234 from right to left in sets of three:

$567 \quad , \quad 891 \quad , \quad 234$

Now, let's identify the period for each group:

  • The group 234 is in the Ones period. It represents 234.
  • The group 891 is in the Thousands period. It represents 891 thousand.
  • The group 567 is in the Millions period. It represents 567 million.

To read the number, we read the digits in each period (as a three-digit number, except for the leftmost period which can have one, two, or three digits) followed by the name of the period (except for the Ones period).

  • The leftmost group is 567 in the Millions period. We read this as "Five hundred sixty-seven million".
  • The next group is 891 in the Thousands period. We read this as "Eight hundred ninety-one thousand".
  • The last group is 234 in the Ones period. We read this as "Two hundred thirty-four".

Combining these parts, the number 567,891,234 is read as "Five hundred sixty-seven million eight hundred ninety-one thousand two hundred thirty-four".

Now let's compare this reading with the given options:

  • (A) Uses Indian system terms like crore and lakh. Incorrect.
  • (B) Five hundred sixty-seven million eight hundred ninety-one thousand two hundred thirty-four. This matches our reading.
  • (C) Incorrect grouping and period names (fifty-seven thousand... eighty-nine million...). Incorrect.
  • (D) Incorrect reading of the Thousands and Ones periods (eighty-nine thousand one hundred twenty-three instead of eight hundred ninety-one thousand two hundred thirty-four). Incorrect.

Option (B) is the correct way to read the number in the International System.


The final answer is (B) Five hundred sixty-seven million eight hundred ninety-one thousand two hundred thirty-four.

Question 10. How many lakhs are there in 1 million?

(A) 1

(B) 10

(C) 100

(D) 1000

Answer:

Given Options:

(A) 1

(B) 10

(C) 100

(D) 1000


Solution:

We need to find the relationship between Lakhs (Indian system) and Millions (International system).

Let's write down the values of 1 Lakh and 1 Million in terms of place value:

In the Indian System:

1 Lakh = 1,00,000

In the International System:

1 Million = 1,000,000

Now, let's compare the two numbers:

1 Lakh = 100,000

1 Million = 1,000,000

To find out how many lakhs are in 1 million, we can divide the value of 1 million by the value of 1 lakh:

Number of lakhs in 1 million = $\frac{\text{Value of 1 million}}{\text{Value of 1 lakh}}$

$$= \frac{1,000,000}{100,000}$$

We can cancel out the trailing zeros. There are 5 zeros in 100,000 and 6 zeros in 1,000,000.

$$= \frac{10\cancel{00000}}{\cancel{100000}}$$

$$= \frac{10}{1} = 10$$

So, there are 10 lakhs in 1 million.

Let's check this with the place values:

1 Lakh = 1,00,000

10 Lakhs = $10 \times 1,00,000 = 10,00,000$

1 Million = 1,000,000

Since $10,00,000 = 1,000,000$, we confirm that 10 Lakhs equals 1 Million.

Now we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 1
  • (B) 10
  • (C) 100
  • (D) 1000

The correct option is (B).


The final answer is (B) 10.

Question 11. Match the following:

(i) 1 Crore

(ii) 10 Lakh

(iii) 1 Lakh

(a) 10 Million

(b) 100 Thousand

(c) 1 Million

(A) (i)-(a), (ii)-(b), (iii)-(c)

(B) (i)-(c), (ii)-(a), (iii)-(b)

(C) (i)-(a), (ii)-(c), (iii)-(b)

(D) (i)-(c), (ii)-(b), (iii)-(a)

Answer:

Given:

Matching pairs between Indian and International System values.


Solution:

We need to find the equivalent values between the Indian System (Lakh, Crore) and the International System (Thousand, Million, Billion).

Let's write down the values in standard form:

  • 1 Lakh = 1,00,000
  • 1 Crore = 1,00,00,000
  • 1 Thousand = 1,000
  • 1 Million = 1,000,000
  • 10 Million = 10,000,000
  • 100 Thousand = 100,000

Now let's match the items from the first list with the second list:

(i) 1 Crore:

1 Crore = 1,00,00,000. In the International System, we group digits in threes: 10,000,000.

This is read as 10 Million.

So, 1 Crore = 10 Million.

This matches with option (a).

(i) 1 Crore

(a) 10 Million

(ii) 10 Lakh:

1 Lakh = 1,00,000.

10 Lakh = $10 \times 1,00,000 = 10,00,000$.

In the International System, 1,000,000 is read as 1 Million.

So, 10 Lakh = 1 Million.

This matches with option (c).

(ii) 10 Lakh

(c) 1 Million

(iii) 1 Lakh:

1 Lakh = 1,00,000.

In the International System, we group digits in threes: 100,000.

This is read as 100 Thousand.

So, 1 Lakh = 100 Thousand.

This matches with option (b).

(iii) 1 Lakh

(b) 100 Thousand

So, the correct matching is:

  • (i) - (a)
  • (ii) - (c)
  • (iii) - (b)

Now let's check the given options:

  • (A) (i)-(a), (ii)-(b), (iii)-(c) - Incorrect (ii) and (iii) are wrong.
  • (B) (i)-(c), (ii)-(a), (iii)-(b) - Incorrect (i) and (ii) are wrong.
  • (C) (i)-(a), (ii)-(c), (iii)-(b) - Correct.
  • (D) (i)-(c), (ii)-(b), (iii)-(a) - Incorrect (i), (ii), and (iii) are wrong.

The correct option is (C).


The final answer is (C) (i)-(a), (ii)-(c), (iii)-(b).

Question 12. Which is the smallest number among 70001, 70100, 70010, 71000?

(A) 70001

(B) 70100

(C) 70010

(D) 71000

Answer:

Given:

The numbers: 70001, 70100, 70010, 71000.

Given Options:

(A) 70001

(B) 70100

(C) 70010

(D) 71000


To Find:

The smallest number among the given numbers.


Solution:

To determine the smallest number among 70001, 70100, 70010, and 71000, we compare their digits starting from the highest place value, which is the ten thousands place in this case.

All four numbers have 5 digits.

Let's list the numbers vertically to easily compare digits by place value:

70001

70100

70010

71000

1. Compare the Ten Thousands place digit:

  • All numbers have '7' in the ten thousands place. They are equal at this place value.

2. Compare the Thousands place digit:

  • 70001 has '0'
  • 70100 has '0'
  • 70010 has '0'
  • 71000 has '1'

Comparing the thousands digits (0, 0, 0, 1), the number 71000 has the largest digit (1), so it is the largest among the given numbers. The other three numbers (70001, 70100, 70010) are potentially the smallest as they have '0' in the thousands place.

3. Now, compare the remaining numbers (70001, 70100, 70010) at the Hundreds place:

  • 70001 has '0'
  • 70100 has '1'
  • 70010 has '0'

Comparing the hundreds digits (0, 1, 0), the number 70100 has the largest digit (1), so it is larger than 70001 and 70010. The numbers 70001 and 70010 are potentially the smallest as they have '0' in the hundreds place.

4. Finally, compare the remaining numbers (70001, 70010) at the Tens place:

  • 70001 has '0'
  • 70010 has '1'

Comparing the tens digits (0, 1), the number 70001 has the smallest digit (0).

Therefore, 70001 is the smallest number.

Let's verify this order from smallest to largest based on our comparison:

70001 < 70010 < 70100 < 71000

The smallest number is indeed 70001.


The final answer is (A) 70001.

Question 13. Arrange the following numbers in descending order: 87654, 86754, 87564, 86574.

(A) 87654, 87564, 86754, 86574

(B) 86574, 86754, 87564, 87654

(C) 87654, 86754, 87564, 86574

(D) 86754, 86574, 87654, 87564

Answer:

Given:

The numbers to be arranged are 87654, 86754, 87564, and 86574.

To Find:

Arrange the given numbers in descending order.


Solution:

Descending order means arranging numbers from the largest to the smallest.

Let's compare the given numbers: 87654, 86754, 87564, 86574.

All the numbers are 5-digit numbers. We will compare the digits starting from the leftmost digit (highest place value).

1. Compare the digit in the Ten Thousands place:

  • 87654: 8
  • 86754: 8
  • 87564: 8
  • 86574: 8

All numbers have the same digit (8) in the ten thousands place.

2. Compare the digit in the Thousands place:

  • 87654: 7
  • 86754: 6
  • 87564: 7
  • 86574: 6

Numbers with '7' in the thousands place (87654 and 87564) are larger than numbers with '6' (86754 and 86574).

So, the two largest numbers are among 87654 and 87564.

The two smallest numbers are among 86754 and 86574.

3. Compare the two larger numbers (87654 and 87564) based on the digit in the Hundreds place:

  • 87654: 6
  • 87564: 5

Since 6 > 5, the number 87654 is larger than 87564.

So, the order of the two largest numbers is 87654 > 87564.

4. Compare the two smaller numbers (86754 and 86574) based on the digit in the Hundreds place:

  • 86754: 7
  • 86574: 5

Since 7 > 5, the number 86754 is larger than 86574.

So, the order of the two smallest numbers is 86754 > 86574.

Combining the comparisons, the descending order is the largest number, followed by the next largest, and so on.

Largest two: 87654, 87564

Smallest two: 86754, 86574

Putting them in descending order:

87654, 87564, 86754, 86574.

Now, let's compare this order with the given options:

  • (A) 87654, 87564, 86754, 86574 - This matches the order we found.
  • (B) 86574, 86754, 87564, 87654 - This is ascending order.
  • (C) 87654, 86754, 87564, 86574 - Incorrect order.
  • (D) 86754, 86574, 87654, 87564 - Incorrect order.

The correct option is (A).


The final answer is (A) 87654, 87564, 86754, 86574.

Question 14. To compare two numbers with the same number of digits, we start comparing from the digit on the _____ side.

(A) rightmost

(B) leftmost

(C) middle

(D) units

Answer:

Given:

The context is comparing two numbers with the same number of digits.

To Find:

From which side do we start comparing the digits.


Solution:

When comparing two numbers, we look at the place values of their digits. The value of a digit depends on its position in the number.

Consider two numbers, for example, 578 and 592. Both have the same number of digits (3 digits).

We compare the digits starting from the place with the highest value.

  • Compare the Hundreds place (leftmost): 5 and 5. They are equal.
  • Move to the Tens place: 7 and 9. Since 9 is greater than 7, the number 592 is greater than 578.

If we had started from the Units place (rightmost), we would compare 8 and 2. Since 8 is greater than 2, we might incorrectly assume 578 is larger based only on the units digit. This demonstrates that comparing from the rightmost digit is not the correct method.

The place value increases as we move from right to left. The leftmost digit holds the highest place value in a number.

Therefore, to compare two numbers with the same number of digits, we always start comparing the digits from the leftmost side (the digit with the highest place value).

Let's look at the options:

  • (A) rightmost - Incorrect, as shown in the example.
  • (B) leftmost - Correct, as the leftmost digit represents the highest place value.
  • (C) middle - Incorrect, as the "middle" is not a consistent starting point and is not the highest place value.
  • (D) units - Incorrect, this is the rightmost place value.

The final answer is (B) leftmost.

Question 15. Using the digits 2, 8, 7, 3 exactly once, form the largest 4-digit number.

(A) 2378

(B) 8732

(C) 8723

(D) 3278

Answer:

Given:

The digits 2, 8, 7, and 3.

To Find:

The largest 4-digit number that can be formed using these digits exactly once.


Solution:

To form the largest possible number using a given set of digits exactly once, we should arrange the digits in descending order from the leftmost position (the highest place value) to the rightmost position (the lowest place value).

The given digits are 2, 8, 7, and 3.

We need to arrange these four digits to form a 4-digit number. The place values in a 4-digit number are Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Units.

Let's list the digits in descending order:

The largest digit is 8.

The next largest digit is 7.

The next largest digit is 3.

The smallest digit is 2.

Arranging the digits in descending order: 8, 7, 3, 2.

Now, place these digits in the place value chart from left to right (highest place value to lowest place value):

  • Thousands place: 8
  • Hundreds place: 7
  • Tens place: 3
  • Units place: 2

The number formed is 8732.

Let's check if we used each digit exactly once: Yes, we used 2, 8, 7, and 3 once.

Let's compare this number with the given options:

  • (A) 2378
  • (B) 8732
  • (C) 8723
  • (D) 3278

Our formed number 8732 matches option (B).

To confirm it is the largest, we can compare our number with the other options:

  • 8732 compared to 2378: 8732 > 2378 (Comparing the thousands digit: 8 > 2)
  • 8732 compared to 8723: Both have 8 in thousands and 7 in hundreds. Compare tens digit: 3 > 2. So, 8732 > 8723.
  • 8732 compared to 3278: 8732 > 3278 (Comparing the thousands digit: 8 > 3)

Indeed, 8732 is the largest number among the options and the largest possible number formed by the given digits.


The final answer is (B) 8732.

Question 16. Using the digits 6, 0, 9, 4 exactly once, form the smallest 4-digit number.

(A) 0469

(B) 4069

(C) 4096

(D) 4609

Answer:

Given:

The digits 6, 0, 9, and 4.

To Find:

The smallest 4-digit number that can be formed using these digits exactly once.


Solution:

To form the smallest possible number using a given set of digits exactly once, we should arrange the digits in ascending order from the leftmost position (the highest place value) to the rightmost position (the lowest place value).

The given digits are 6, 0, 9, and 4.

We need to form a 4-digit number, so the number must have a non-zero digit in the thousands place (the leftmost digit).

Let's list the digits in ascending order: 0, 4, 6, 9.

If we place the smallest digit (0) in the thousands place, the number would be 0469, which is effectively a 3-digit number (469). The question asks for a 4-digit number.

Therefore, the smallest digit (0) cannot be placed in the thousands place (the leftmost position).

To form the smallest 4-digit number, we should place the smallest non-zero digit in the thousands place, and then arrange the remaining digits, including 0, in ascending order for the remaining places.

The smallest non-zero digit among 6, 0, 9, 4 is 4.

So, place 4 in the Thousands place.

The remaining digits are 6, 0, and 9.

Arrange these remaining digits in ascending order: 0, 6, 9.

Place these digits in the remaining places (Hundreds, Tens, Units) from left to right:

  • Thousands place: 4
  • Hundreds place: 0
  • Tens place: 6
  • Units place: 9

The number formed is 4069.

Let's check if we used each digit exactly once: Yes, we used 6, 0, 9, and 4 once.

Let's compare this number with the given options:

  • (A) 0469 - This is a 3-digit number (469).
  • (B) 4069 - This is the number we formed.
  • (C) 4096 - Formed by arranging 0, 9, 6 as 0, 9, 6 after 4.
  • (D) 4609 - Formed by arranging 6, 0, 9 as 6, 0, 9 after 4.

Comparing 4069, 4096, and 4609 (all are 4-digit numbers formed using the digits 4, 0, 6, 9):

  • Compare Thousands digit: All are 4.
  • Compare Hundreds digit: 4069 has 0, 4096 has 0, 4609 has 6. 4609 is the largest.
  • Compare Tens digit for 4069 and 4096: 4069 has 6, 4096 has 9. Since 6 < 9, 4069 is smaller than 4096.

So, among 4069, 4096, and 4609, the smallest is 4069.

Option (A) 0469 is not a 4-digit number in standard form.

Therefore, the smallest 4-digit number formed using the digits 6, 0, 9, 4 exactly once is 4069.


The final answer is (B) 4069.

Question 17. What is the difference between the largest and smallest 5-digit numbers formed using the digits 1, 5, 0, 8, 3 exactly once?

(A) 74982

(B) 75982

(C) 74992

(D) 75992

Answer:

Given:

The digits: 1, 5, 0, 8, 3.

To Find:

The difference between the largest and smallest 5-digit numbers formed using the given digits exactly once.


Solution:

First, we need to form the largest and smallest 5-digit numbers using the digits 1, 5, 0, 8, and 3 exactly once.

To form the largest 5-digit number, we arrange the given digits in descending order from the highest place value to the lowest place value.

The digits in descending order are: 8, 5, 3, 1, 0.

Placing these digits in the ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, and units places respectively, the largest 5-digit number is 85310.

To form the smallest 5-digit number, we arrange the given digits in ascending order. However, a 5-digit number cannot begin with 0 (as it would then be a 4-digit number). So, we place the smallest non-zero digit in the ten thousands place, and then arrange the remaining digits, including 0, in ascending order for the remaining places.

The digits in ascending order are: 0, 1, 3, 5, 8.

The smallest non-zero digit is 1. Place 1 in the ten thousands place.

The remaining digits are 0, 3, 5, 8. Arrange these in ascending order for the thousands, hundreds, tens, and units places: 0, 3, 5, 8.

The smallest 5-digit number is 10358.

Now, we need to find the difference between the largest number and the smallest number.

Difference = Largest number - Smallest number

Difference = $85310 - 10358$

Let's perform the subtraction:

$\begin{array}{cccccc} & 8 & 5 & 3 & 1 & 0 \\ - & 1 & 0 & 3 & 5 & 8 \\ \hline & 7 & 4 & 9 & 5 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}$

The difference is 74952.

Now we compare our calculated difference with the given options:

  • (A) 74982
  • (B) 75982
  • (C) 74992
  • (D) 75992

Based on our calculation, the difference is 74952. None of the provided options exactly match this result. However, option (A) 74982 is the closest value.


Based on the standard method of forming numbers and calculating the difference, the result is 74952. Assuming there is a discrepancy in the provided options, option (A) is the closest value.

The final answer is (A) 74982.

Question 18. How many centimetres are there in 5 metres?

(A) 5 cm

(B) 50 cm

(C) 500 cm

(D) 5000 cm

Answer:

Given:

Length in meters = 5 metres.

To Find:

The equivalent length in centimeters.


Solution:

We need to convert a length from meters to centimeters.

The relationship between meters and centimeters is a standard unit conversion:

1 metre = 100 centimetres

(Standard conversion factor)

To find the number of centimetres in 5 metres, we multiply the length in meters by the conversion factor (100 cm/metre).

Number of centimetres = Length in metres $\times$ (100 cm / 1 metre)

Number of centimetres = $5 \text{ metres} \times 100 \frac{\text{cm}}{\text{metre}}$

Number of centimetres = $5 \times 100$ cm

$$= 500 \text{ cm}$$

So, there are 500 centimetres in 5 metres.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 5 cm
  • (B) 50 cm
  • (C) 500 cm
  • (D) 5000 cm

Our calculated value, 500 cm, matches option (C).


The final answer is (C) 500 cm.

Question 19. A packet of biscuits weighs 120 grams. What is the weight of 100 such packets in kilograms?

(A) 1.2 kg

(B) 12 kg

(C) 120 kg

(D) 0.12 kg

Answer:

Given:

Weight of one packet of biscuits = 120 grams

Number of packets = 100

Given Options:

(A) 1.2 kg

(B) 12 kg

(C) 120 kg

(D) 0.12 kg


To Find:

The total weight of 100 packets in kilograms.


Solution:

First, we need to calculate the total weight of 100 packets in grams.

Total weight in grams = Weight of one packet $\times$ Number of packets

Total weight in grams = $120 \text{ grams/packet} \times 100 \text{ packets}$

Total weight in grams = $120 \times 100$ grams

$$= 12000 \text{ grams}$$

Next, we need to convert the total weight from grams to kilograms.

The standard conversion factor between grams and kilograms is:

1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)

To convert grams to kilograms, we divide the value in grams by 1000.

Total weight in kilograms = $\frac{\text{Total weight in grams}}{\text{Conversion factor (grams/kg)}}$

$$= \frac{12000 \text{ g}}{1000 \text{ g/kg}}$$

$$= \frac{12000}{1000} \text{ kg}$$

$$= 12 \text{ kg}$$

So, the total weight of 100 packets of biscuits is 12 kilograms.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 1.2 kg
  • (B) 12 kg
  • (C) 120 kg
  • (D) 0.12 kg

Our calculated value, 12 kg, matches option (B).


The final answer is (B) 12 kg.

Question 20. 3 kilometres and 45 metres is equal to how many metres?

(A) 345 metres

(B) 3045 metres

(C) 3450 metres

(D) 30045 metres

Answer:

Given:

Length = 3 kilometres and 45 metres.

Given Options:

(A) 345 metres

(B) 3045 metres

(C) 3450 metres

(D) 30045 metres


To Find:

The total length in metres.


Solution:

The given length is a combination of kilometres and metres. We need to express the entire length in metres.

We know the standard conversion between kilometres and metres:

1 kilometre = 1000 metres

(Standard conversion)

To convert 3 kilometres into metres, we multiply the number of kilometres by 1000:

3 kilometres = $3 \times 1000$ metres

$$= 3000 \text{ metres}$$

The total length is the sum of the metres obtained from the kilometre part and the given metres part:

Total length in metres = Metres from kilometres + Given metres

Total length in metres = $3000 \text{ metres} + 45 \text{ metres}$

$$= 3045 \text{ metres}$$

So, 3 kilometres and 45 metres is equal to 3045 metres.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 345 metres
  • (B) 3045 metres
  • (C) 3450 metres
  • (D) 30045 metres

Our calculated value, 3045 metres, matches option (B).


The final answer is (B) 3045 metres.

Question 21. A bottle contains 750 millilitres of juice. How many such bottles are needed to fill a container with a capacity of 3 litres?

(A) 3

(B) 4

(C) 5

(D) 6

Answer:

Given:

Capacity of one bottle = 750 millilitres (ml)

Capacity of the container = 3 litres (L)

Given Options:

(A) 3

(B) 4

(C) 5

(D) 6


To Find:

The number of bottles needed to fill the container.


Solution:

To find the number of bottles needed, we first need to ensure that both capacities are in the same unit. We will convert the capacity of the container from litres to millilitres.

The relationship between litres and millilitres is:

1 litre = 1000 millilitres

(Standard conversion)

So, the capacity of the container in millilitres is:

Container capacity = 3 litres $\times$ 1000 millilitres/litre

$$= 3 \times 1000 \text{ ml}$$

$$= 3000 \text{ ml}$$

Now, we can find the number of bottles needed by dividing the total capacity of the container by the capacity of one bottle:

Number of bottles = $\frac{\text{Total capacity of container}}{\text{Capacity of one bottle}}$

$$= \frac{3000 \text{ ml}}{750 \text{ ml}}$$

$$= \frac{3000}{750}$$

We can simplify the fraction by cancelling out common factors. Both numbers are divisible by 10.

$$= \frac{300}{75}$$

We know that $75 \times 4 = 300$.

$$= \frac{300}{75} = 4$$

So, 4 bottles are needed to fill the container.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 3
  • (B) 4
  • (C) 5
  • (D) 6

Our calculated value, 4, matches option (B).


The final answer is (B) 4.

Question 22. A company earned $\textsf{₹}$ 15,75,800 in the first year and $\textsf{₹}$ 18,10,500 in the second year. How much more did it earn in the second year than in the first year?

(A) $\textsf{₹}$ 2,34,700

(B) $\textsf{₹}$ 2,35,700

(C) $\textsf{₹}$ 3,34,700

(D) $\textsf{₹}$ 3,35,700

Answer:

Given:

Earnings in the first year = $\textsf{₹}$ 15,75,800

Earnings in the second year = $\textsf{₹}$ 18,10,500

Given Options:

(A) $\textsf{₹}$ 2,34,700

(B) $\textsf{₹}$ 2,35,700

(C) $\textsf{₹}$ 3,34,700

(D) $\textsf{₹}$ 3,35,700


To Find:

How much more was earned in the second year than in the first year.


Solution:

To find out how much more was earned in the second year, we need to subtract the earnings of the first year from the earnings of the second year.

Difference in earnings = Earnings in second year - Earnings in first year

Difference = $\textsf{₹} 18,10,500 - \textsf{₹} 15,75,800$

Let's perform the subtraction:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc} & 1 & 8 & 1 & 0 & 5 & 0 & 0 \\ - & 1 & 5 & 7 & 5 & 8 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline & & 2 & 3 & 4 & 7 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Step-by-step subtraction:

  • Units place: 0 - 0 = 0
  • Tens place: 0 - 0 = 0
  • Hundreds place: 5 - 8. We need to borrow from the thousands place. The thousands place is 0, so we borrow from the ten thousands place (1). The ten thousands place becomes 0, the thousands place becomes 10, and we borrow 1 from the thousands place (making it 9) for the hundreds place (making it 15). So, 15 - 8 = 7.
  • Thousands place: We borrowed 1 from the thousands place, so it is now 9. 9 - 5 = 4.
  • Ten Thousands place: We borrowed 1 from the ten thousands place, so it is now 0. We need to borrow from the lakhs place (1). The lakhs place becomes 0, and the ten thousands place becomes 10. So, 10 - 7 = 3.
  • Lakhs place: We borrowed 1 from the lakhs place, so it is now 0. We need to borrow from the ten lakhs place (8). The ten lakhs place becomes 7, and the lakhs place becomes 10. So, 10 - 5 = 5. (Correction: It should be 0 - 5, so borrow from the Crore place (1). Crore becomes 0, Ten Lakhs becomes 18, borrow 1 from Ten Lakhs (making it 17) for Lakhs (making it 10). So 10 - 5 = 5.) Let's do the subtraction again carefully.

Let's write the numbers aligning the place values:

$\quad 1810500$

$- \quad 1575800$

$\rule{1.5cm}{0.4pt}$

Starting from the right:

  • 0 - 0 = 0
  • 0 - 0 = 0
  • 5 - 8: Borrow from the thousands place. 0 becomes 10, borrow 1, leaving 9. 5 becomes 15. $15 - 8 = 7$.
  • Thousands place: 0 became 10, then we borrowed 1, so it's 9. $9 - 5 = 4$.
  • Ten Thousands place: 1 became 0. We need to borrow from the lakhs place. 1 becomes 0, borrow 1, making it 10. $10 - 7 = 3$.
  • Lakhs place: 8 became 7. $7 - 5 = 2$.
  • Ten Lakhs place: 1 - 1 = 0.

The difference is 0234700, which is 2,34,700.

So, the company earned $\textsf{₹}$ 2,34,700 more in the second year.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) $\textsf{₹}$ 2,34,700
  • (B) $\textsf{₹}$ 2,35,700
  • (C) $\textsf{₹}$ 3,34,700
  • (D) $\textsf{₹}$ 3,35,700

Our calculated value matches option (A).


The final answer is (A) $\textsf{₹}$ 2,34,700.

Question 23. A school library has 3,500 books. If 50 books can be placed on one shelf, how many shelves are needed to arrange all the books?

(A) 60

(B) 70

(C) 80

(D) 90

Answer:

Given:

Total number of books = 3500

Number of books per shelf = 50

Given Options:

(A) 60

(B) 70

(C) 80

(D) 90


To Find:

The number of shelves needed.


Solution:

To find the number of shelves needed, we need to divide the total number of books by the number of books that can be placed on one shelf.

Number of shelves = $\frac{\text{Total number of books}}{\text{Number of books per shelf}}$

Number of shelves = $\frac{3500}{50}$

We can simplify the division by cancelling out the common factor of 10 from the numerator and the denominator:

$$= \frac{\cancel{3500}^{350}}{\cancel{50}_{5}}$$

$$= \frac{350}{5}$$

Now, we perform the division:

$$350 \div 5$$

Since $5 \times 7 = 35$, we have $5 \times 70 = 350$.

So, $\frac{350}{5} = 70$.

Therefore, 70 shelves are needed to arrange all the books.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 60
  • (B) 70
  • (C) 80
  • (D) 90

Our calculated value, 70, matches option (B).


The final answer is (B) 70.

Question 24. The population of a city is 28,56,789. If the number of males is 14,89,543, what is the number of females in the city?

(A) 13,67,246

(B) 13,67,346

(C) 13,67,446

(D) 13,67,546

Answer:

Given:

Total population of the city = 28,56,789

Number of males in the city = 14,89,543


To Find:

The number of females in the city.


Solution:

The total population of the city is the sum of the number of males and the number of females.

Total Population = Number of Males + Number of Females

To find the number of females, we subtract the number of males from the total population.

Number of Females = Total Population - Number of Males

$$= 28,56,789 - 14,89,543$$

Let's perform the subtraction:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc} & 2 & 8 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 \\ - & 1 & 4 & 8 & 9 & 5 & 4 & 3 \\ \hline & 1 & 3 & 6 & 7 & 2 & 4 & 6 \\ \hline \end{array}$

So, the number of females in the city is 13,67,246.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 13,67,246
  • (B) 13,67,346
  • (C) 13,67,446
  • (D) 13,67,546

Our calculated value, 13,67,246, matches option (A).


The final answer is (A) 13,67,246.

Question 25. A factory manufactures 1,200 cycles per day. How many cycles will it manufacture in a leap year?

(A) 4,38,000

(B) 4,39,200

(C) 4,40,400

(D) 4,36,800

Answer:

Given:

Number of cycles manufactured per day = 1200

Period of manufacturing = a leap year

Given Options:

(A) 4,38,000

(B) 4,39,200

(C) 4,40,400

(D) 4,36,800


To Find:

The total number of cycles manufactured in a leap year.


Solution:

We are given that the factory manufactures 1200 cycles each day.

We need to find the total number of cycles manufactured in a leap year.

First, we need to know the number of days in a leap year.

A normal year has 365 days.

A leap year has 366 days (one extra day in February).

To find the total number of cycles manufactured in a leap year, we multiply the number of cycles manufactured per day by the total number of days in a leap year.

Total cycles = Cycles per day $\times$ Number of days in a leap year

Total cycles = $1200 \times 366$

We can calculate this by multiplying 12 by 366 and then multiplying the result by 100.

Let's calculate $12 \times 366$:

$\begin{array}{cc}& & 3 & 6 & 6 \\ \times & & & 1 & 2 \\ \hline && 7 & 3 & 2 \\ & 3 & 6 & 6 & \times \\ \hline 4 & 3 & 9 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}$

So, $12 \times 366 = 4392$.

Now, we multiply this result by 100:

Total cycles = $4392 \times 100$

$$= 439200$$

So, the factory will manufacture 4,39,200 cycles in a leap year.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 4,38,000
  • (B) 4,39,200
  • (C) 4,40,400
  • (D) 4,36,800

Our calculated value, 4,39,200, matches option (B).


The final answer is (B) 4,39,200.

Question 26. Estimate the product of 87 and 32 by rounding off each number to the nearest ten.

(A) 2400

(B) 2700

(C) 3000

(D) 2800

Answer:

Given:

The numbers 87 and 32.

To Find:

The estimated product of 87 and 32 by rounding off each number to the nearest ten.


Solution:

We need to round off each number to the nearest ten before multiplying.

Rounding off 87 to the nearest ten:

Look at the units digit of 87, which is 7.

Since 7 is 5 or greater ($7 \geq 5$), we round up the tens digit.

The tens digit 8 becomes 9.

Replace the units digit with 0.

So, 87 rounded to the nearest ten is 90.

Rounding off 32 to the nearest ten:

Look at the units digit of 32, which is 2.

Since 2 is less than 5 ($2 < 5$), we keep the tens digit the same.

The tens digit 3 remains 3.

Replace the units digit with 0.

So, 32 rounded to the nearest ten is 30.

Now, we estimate the product by multiplying the rounded numbers:

Estimated Product = $90 \times 30$

To multiply $90 \times 30$, we can multiply the non-zero digits and then add the number of zeros from both numbers.

$9 \times 3 = 27$

$90$ has one zero, and $30$ has one zero. The total number of zeros is $1 + 1 = 2$.

So, the estimated product is 27 followed by two zeros.

Estimated Product = 2700.

Now, we compare this estimated product with the given options:

  • (A) 2400
  • (B) 2700
  • (C) 3000
  • (D) 2800

Our calculated estimated product, 2700, matches option (B).


The final answer is (B) 2700.

Question 27. Round off 12,345 to the nearest hundred.

(A) 12300

(B) 12340

(C) 12400

(D) 12000

Answer:

Given:

The number is 12,345.

To Find:

Round off 12,345 to the nearest hundred.


Solution:

To round off a number to the nearest hundred, we need to look at the digit in the tens place.

In the number 12,345, the digit in the hundreds place is 3, and the digit in the tens place is 4.

The rule for rounding to the nearest hundred is:

  • If the digit in the tens place is 5 or greater (5, 6, 7, 8, or 9), round up the hundreds digit by 1 and change the tens and units digits to 0.
  • If the digit in the tens place is less than 5 (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4), keep the hundreds digit the same and change the tens and units digits to 0.

In the number 12,345, the digit in the tens place is 4.

Since 4 is less than 5 ($4 < 5$), we keep the hundreds digit (3) the same and change the tens digit (4) and the units digit (5) to 0.

The thousands digit (2) and ten thousands digit (1) remain unchanged.

So, 12,345 rounded to the nearest hundred is 12,300.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 12300
  • (B) 12340
  • (C) 12400
  • (D) 12000

Our calculated value, 12300, matches option (A).


The final answer is (A) 12300.

Question 28. Case Study: A shopkeeper sold 256 kg of rice on Monday, 389 kg on Tuesday, and 412 kg on Wednesday. Estimate the total quantity of rice sold over the three days by rounding each quantity to the nearest hundred.

(A) 1000 kg

(B) 1050 kg

(C) 1100 kg

(D) 1060 kg

Answer:

Given:

Quantity of rice sold on Monday = 256 kg

Quantity of rice sold on Tuesday = 389 kg

Quantity of rice sold on Wednesday = 412 kg

Rounding method for estimation: Nearest hundred.

Given Options:

(A) 1000 kg

(B) 1050 kg

(C) 1100 kg

(D) 1060 kg


To Find:

The estimated total quantity of rice sold over the three days.


Solution:

To estimate the total quantity, we first need to round each given quantity to the nearest hundred.

Rounding 256 kg to the nearest hundred:

The tens digit is 5. Since the tens digit is 5 or greater, we round up the hundreds digit (2) to 3 and change the tens and units digits to 0.

256 kg rounded to the nearest hundred is 300 kg.

Monday's sales (estimated) $\approx 300$ kg

Rounding 389 kg to the nearest hundred:

The tens digit is 8. Since the tens digit is 5 or greater, we round up the hundreds digit (3) to 4 and change the tens and units digits to 0.

389 kg rounded to the nearest hundred is 400 kg.

Tuesday's sales (estimated) $\approx 400$ kg

Rounding 412 kg to the nearest hundred:

The tens digit is 1. Since the tens digit is less than 5, we keep the hundreds digit (4) the same and change the tens and units digits to 0.

412 kg rounded to the nearest hundred is 400 kg.

Wednesday's sales (estimated) $\approx 400$ kg

Now, we estimate the total quantity of rice sold by adding the rounded quantities:

Estimated Total Sales = Monday's estimated sales + Tuesday's estimated sales + Wednesday's estimated sales

Estimated Total Sales = $300 \text{ kg} + 400 \text{ kg} + 400 \text{ kg}$

$$= 700 \text{ kg} + 400 \text{ kg}$$

$$= 1100 \text{ kg}$$

The estimated total quantity of rice sold over the three days is 1100 kg.

Now, we compare this estimated total with the given options:

  • (A) 1000 kg
  • (B) 1050 kg
  • (C) 1100 kg
  • (D) 1060 kg

Our calculated estimated total, 1100 kg, matches option (C).


The final answer is (C) 1100 kg.

Question 29. The Roman numeral representation for the number of students present in a class is shown by tally marks:

What is the number of students present?

(A) 10

(B) 13

(C) 15

(D) 18

Answer:

Given:

Tally marks representing the number of students present: $\bcancel{||||}$ $\bcancel{||||}$ $|||$

Given Options:

(A) 10

(B) 13

(C) 15

(D) 18


To Find:

The number of students present based on the given tally marks.


Solution:

Tally marks are a form of numeral used for counting. They are grouped in bundles of five for easy counting. A standard representation for five is four vertical strokes crossed by a diagonal stroke, like $\bcancel{||||}$.

The given tally marks are: $\bcancel{||||}$ $\bcancel{||||}$ $|||$.

Let's evaluate each part:

  • The first group $\bcancel{||||}$ represents a bundle of 5.
  • The second group $\bcancel{||||}$ also represents a bundle of 5.
  • The last group $|||$ represents three individual strokes, which count as 3.

To find the total number of students, we sum the values of these groups:

Total number of students = Value of first group + Value of second group + Value of third group

Total number of students = $5 + 5 + 3$

$$= 10 + 3$$

$$= 13$$

So, the number of students present is 13.

Now, we compare this result with the given options:

  • (A) 10
  • (B) 13
  • (C) 15
  • (D) 18

Our calculated value, 13, matches option (B).


The final answer is (B) 13.

Question 30. Which of the following Roman numerals is incorrect?

(A) XXX

(B) XC

(C) VL

(D) CM

Answer:

Given:

The options are Roman numerals: (A) XXX, (B) XC, (C) VL, (D) CM.

To Find:

The incorrect Roman numeral among the given options.


Solution:

We need to check the validity of each Roman numeral representation based on the rules for forming Roman numerals.

The basic Roman numerals and their values are:

Roman Numeral Value
I1
V5
X10
L50
C100
D500
M1000

Key rules for forming Roman numerals include:

  • A symbol is not repeated more than three times.
  • V, L, and D are never repeated.
  • If a smaller numeral is placed after a larger numeral, their values are added. (e.g., VI = 5 + 1 = 6)
  • If a smaller numeral is placed before a larger numeral, its value is subtracted from the larger numeral. (e.g., IX = 10 - 1 = 9)
  • Subtraction is allowed only under specific conditions:
    • I can only be subtracted from V and X.
    • X can only be subtracted from L and C.
    • C can only be subtracted from D and M.
    • V, L, and D are never used for subtraction.

Let's evaluate each option:

(A) XXX: This represents $10 + 10 + 10 = 30$. Repeating X three times is allowed. This is a correct Roman numeral.

(B) XC: This represents $100 - 10 = 90$. Placing X before C is a valid subtraction (X can be subtracted from C). This is a correct Roman numeral.

(C) VL: This consists of V (5) and L (50), with the smaller numeral V placed before the larger numeral L. This suggests subtraction. However, according to the rules, the numeral V is never used for subtraction. Also, V can only be subtracted from V and X, not L. Therefore, VL is an incorrect Roman numeral representation. The number 45 is correctly written as XLV (50 - 10 + 5 = 45).

(D) CM: This represents $1000 - 100 = 900$. Placing C before M is a valid subtraction (C can be subtracted from M). This is a correct Roman numeral.

Based on the rules, the Roman numeral VL is incorrect.


The final answer is (C) VL.

The digit $7$ is in the Ten Thousands place.

The place value of the digit is the digit multiplied by the value of its place.

Place value of $7 = 7 \times \text{Ten Thousand} = 7 \times 10,000$.


The place value of the digit $7$ in $375,201$ is $70,000$.

Question 7. Compare the numbers $45,987$ and $45,897$. Use the appropriate symbol ($<, >, =$ ).

Answer:

We need to compare the two numbers $45,987$ and $45,897$.

Both numbers have the same number of digits (5 digits).

We compare the digits starting from the leftmost place (the Ten Thousands place).

In the Ten Thousands place, both numbers have $4$. The digits are equal ($4=4$).

In the Thousands place, both numbers have $5$. The digits are equal ($5=5$).

In the Hundreds place, the first number $45,987$ has $9$, and the second number $45,897$ has $8$.

Comparing these digits, we see that $9 > 8$.

Since the digit in the Hundreds place of $45,987$ is greater than the digit in the Hundreds place of $45,897$, the first number is greater than the second number.

Therefore, $45,987$ is greater than $45,897$.


The comparison is $\mathbf{45,987 > 45,897}$.

Question 8. Arrange the following numbers in ascending order: $10234, 9876, 12034, 100001$.

Answer:

We are given the following numbers: $10234, 9876, 12034, 100001$.

To arrange them in ascending order (from smallest to largest), we first compare the number of digits in each number:

  • $10234$ has 5 digits.
  • $9876$ has 4 digits.
  • $12034$ has 5 digits.
  • $100001$ has 6 digits.

The number with the fewest digits is the smallest. So, $9876$ is the smallest number.

The number with the most digits is the largest. So, $100001$ is the largest number.

Now, we compare the numbers with the same number of digits (5 digits): $10234$ and $12034$. We compare the digits from left to right:

  • Comparing the Ten Thousands place: Both have $1$. ($1=1$)
  • Comparing the Thousands place: $10234$ has $0$, $12034$ has $2$. ($0 < 2$)

Since the digit in the Thousands place of $10234$ is smaller than that of $12034$, we conclude that $10234 < 12034$.

Arranging the numbers from smallest to largest gives us the ascending order.


The numbers in ascending order are: $9876, 10234, 12034, 100001$.

Question 9. Form the smallest $4$-digit number using the digits $3, 0, 8, 5$ without repetition.

Answer:

We are given the digits $3, 0, 8, 5$. We need to form the smallest 4-digit number using these digits without repetition.

To form the smallest number, we should arrange the digits in ascending order.

The digits in ascending order are $0, 3, 5, 8$.

However, if we place $0$ at the beginning, it will form a 3-digit number (e.g., $0358$ is $358$). A 4-digit number cannot start with $0$ in the thousands place.

So, we place the smallest non-zero digit in the thousands place, which is $3$.

Then, we place the remaining digits in ascending order after the first digit. The remaining digits are $0, 5, 8$. In ascending order, they are $0, 5, 8$.

Placing these after $3$, we get $3058$.

Let's verify if this is the smallest: If we place any other digit ($5$ or $8$) in the thousands place, the number would be larger ($5038$, $8035$, etc.). If we had started with $0$, it would not be a 4-digit number.


The smallest $4$-digit number formed using the digits $3, 0, 8, 5$ without repetition is $3058$.

Question 10. Convert $5$ kilometres and $300$ metres into metres.

Answer:

To convert kilometres and metres into metres, we need to know the conversion factor between kilometres and metres.

We know that $1$ kilometre is equal to $1000$ metres.

Given quantity is $5$ kilometres and $300$ metres.

First, convert the $5$ kilometres into metres:

$5 \text{ km} = 5 \times 1000 \text{ metres} = 5000 \text{ metres}$.

Now, add the $300$ metres to this value:

Total metres = $5000 \text{ metres} + 300 \text{ metres} = 5300 \text{ metres}$.


Therefore, $5$ kilometres and $300$ metres is equal to $5300$ metres.

Question 11. Convert $7500$ grams into kilograms and grams.

Answer:

We need to convert $7500$ grams into kilograms and grams.

We know that $1$ kilogram is equal to $1000$ grams.

To convert grams to kilograms, we divide the number of grams by $1000$.

$7500 \text{ grams} = \frac{7500}{1000} \text{ kg}$.

When we divide $7500$ by $1000$, the quotient is the number of kilograms, and the remainder is the number of grams.

$7500 \div 1000 = 7$ with a remainder of $500$.

So, $7500$ grams is equal to $7$ kilograms and $500$ grams.


$7500$ grams is equal to $7$ kilograms and $500$ grams.

Question 12. Round off the number $6,785$ to the nearest hundred.

Answer:

We need to round off the number $6,785$ to the nearest hundred.

To round to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit in the tens place. The digit in the tens place is $8$.

If the digit in the tens place is $5$ or greater ($5, 6, 7, 8, 9$), we round up the hundreds digit.

If the digit in the tens place is less than $5$ ($0, 1, 2, 3, 4$), we keep the hundreds digit the same.

In the number $6,785$, the digit in the tens place is $8$, which is greater than $5$.

So, we round up the hundreds digit, which is $7$. The hundreds digit becomes $7 + 1 = 8$.

We replace the digits to the right of the hundreds place with zeros.

The hundreds digit is $7$. We look at the tens digit, which is $8$. Since $8 \geq 5$, we round up the hundreds digit $7$ to $8$. The digits to the right of the hundreds place become $00$.


Rounding $6,785$ to the nearest hundred gives $6,800$.

Question 13. Estimate the sum of $456$ and $231$ by rounding off each number to the nearest ten.

Answer:

We need to estimate the sum of $456$ and $231$ by rounding each number to the nearest ten.

Step 1: Round $456$ to the nearest ten.

Look at the digit in the ones place, which is $6$.

Since $6 \geq 5$, we round up the digit in the tens place ($5$) by $1$, making it $6$. Replace the ones digit with $0$.

Rounded value of $456$ is $460$.


Step 2: Round $231$ to the nearest ten.

Look at the digit in the ones place, which is $1$.

Since $1 < 5$, we keep the digit in the tens place ($3$) as it is. Replace the ones digit with $0$.

Rounded value of $231$ is $230$.


Step 3: Estimate the sum.

Add the rounded numbers:

$460 + 230$

We can perform the addition:

$460 + 230 = 690$


The estimated sum of $456$ and $231$ by rounding off each number to the nearest ten is $690$.

Question 14. Write the Roman numeral for the number $38$.

Answer:

We need to write the Roman numeral for the number $38$.

We can express $38$ as the sum of standard Roman numeral values:

$38 = 30 + 8$

The Roman numeral for $10$ is $X$. The Roman numeral for $30$ is $XXX$ (three tens added together).

The Roman numeral for $5$ is $V$. The Roman numeral for $8$ is $VIII$ (five plus three ones).

Combining the Roman numerals for $30$ and $8$:

$38 = 30 + 8 = XXX + VIII = XXXVIII$


The Roman numeral for the number $38$ is XXXVIII.

Question 15. Write the Hindu-Arabic numeral for the Roman numeral $\text{XLIX}$.

Answer:

We need to convert the Roman numeral $\text{XLIX}$ into the Hindu-Arabic numeral.

We break down the Roman numeral $\text{XLIX}$ into parts based on the values of the symbols:

$\text{X}$ has a value of $10$.

$\text{L}$ has a value of $50$.

$\text{I}$ has a value of $1$.

$\text{X}$ has a value of $10$.

In $\text{XL}$, $\text{X}$ comes before $\text{L}$. Since $10 < 50$, we subtract the value of $\text{X}$ from $\text{L}$.

$\text{XL} = 50 - 10 = 40$.

In $\text{IX}$, $\text{I}$ comes before $\text{X}$. Since $1 < 10$, we subtract the value of $\text{I}$ from $\text{X}$.

$\text{IX} = 10 - 1 = 9$.

Now, combine the values of $\text{XL}$ and $\text{IX}$.

$\text{XLIX} = \text{XL} + \text{IX} = 40 + 9 = 49$.


The Hindu-Arabic numeral for the Roman numeral $\text{XLIX}$ is $49$.

Question 16. What is the predecessor of the number $1,00,000$?

Answer:

The predecessor of a number is the number that comes just before it.

To find the predecessor of a number, we subtract $1$ from the number.

The given number is $1,00,000$.

Predecessor of $1,00,000 = 1,00,000 - 1$.

Subtracting $1$ from $1,00,000$ gives $99,999$.

$\begin{array}{ccccccc} & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ - & & & & & & 1 \\ \hline & & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 \\ \hline \end{array}$


The predecessor of the number $1,00,000$ is $99,999$.

Question 17. Write the expanded form of the number $8,45,607$ using the Indian System of place values.

Answer:

The given number is $8,45,607$. We need to write its expanded form using the Indian System of place values.

In the Indian System, the place values from right to left are: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands, Lakhs, Ten Lakhs, etc.

Let's identify the place value of each digit in $8,45,607$:

  • $7$ is in the Ones place ($7 \times 1$)
  • $0$ is in the Tens place ($0 \times 10$)
  • $6$ is in the Hundreds place ($6 \times 100$)
  • $5$ is in the Thousands place ($5 \times 1,000$)
  • $4$ is in the Ten Thousands place ($4 \times 10,000$)
  • $8$ is in the Lakhs place ($8 \times 1,00,000$)

The expanded form is the sum of the products of each digit and its corresponding place value.

$8,45,607 = (8 \times 1,00,000) + (4 \times 10,000) + (5 \times 1,000) + (6 \times 100) + (0 \times 10) + (7 \times 1)$

$8,45,607 = 8,00,000 + 40,000 + 5,000 + 600 + 0 + 7$


The expanded form of $8,45,607$ using the Indian System is $8,00,000 + 40,000 + 5,000 + 600 + 0 + 7$.

Question 18. Find the difference between the place value and the face value of the digit $9$ in the number $9,12,345$.

Answer:

The given number is $9,12,345$.

The digit we are interested in is $9$.


Step 1: Find the place value of the digit $9$.

In the number $9,12,345$, the digit $9$ is in the Lakhs place (or Hundred Thousands place).

The value of the Lakhs place is $1,00,000$.

The place value of $9$ is $9 \times 1,00,000 = 9,00,000$.


Step 2: Find the face value of the digit $9$.

The face value of a digit is the digit itself.

The face value of $9$ is $9$.


Step 3: Find the difference.

Difference = Place value - Face value

Difference = $9,00,000 - 9$

Performing the subtraction:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc} & 9 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ - & & & & & & 9 \\ \hline & 8 & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array}$


The difference between the place value and the face value of the digit $9$ in $9,12,345$ is $8,99,991$.

Question 19. A packet contains $500$ grams of sugar. How many such packets are needed to make $3$ kilograms of sugar?

Answer:

Given: Quantity of sugar in one packet = $500$ grams. Total quantity of sugar needed = $3$ kilograms.

To find the number of packets, we need to have the quantities in the same unit.

We know that $1$ kilogram = $1000$ grams.

Convert the total quantity needed from kilograms to grams:

Total quantity needed = $3$ kilograms = $3 \times 1000$ grams = $3000$ grams.

Now, we can find the number of packets by dividing the total quantity needed by the quantity in one packet.

Number of packets = $\frac{\text{Total quantity needed}}{\text{Quantity in one packet}}$

Number of packets = $\frac{3000 \text{ grams}}{500 \text{ grams}}$

Number of packets = $\frac{\cancel{3000}^{6}}{\cancel{500}_{1}}$

Number of packets = $6$


Therefore, $6$ such packets are needed to make $3$ kilograms of sugar.

Question 20. Round off the number $1,45,678$ to the nearest ten thousand.

Answer:

We need to round off the number $1,45,678$ to the nearest ten thousand.

To round to the nearest ten thousand, we look at the digit in the thousands place.

In the number $1,45,678$, the digit in the thousands place is $5$.

If the digit in the thousands place is $5$ or greater ($5, 6, 7, 8, 9$), we round up the digit in the ten thousands place.

If the digit in the thousands place is less than $5$ ($0, 1, 2, 3, 4$), we keep the digit in the ten thousands place the same.

In the number $1,45,678$, the digit in the thousands place is $5$.

Since the digit in the thousands place is $5$, we round up the digit in the ten thousands place ($4$) by $1$, making it $5$.

We replace all the digits to the right of the ten thousands place with zeros.

The ten thousands digit is $4$. We look at the thousands digit, which is $5$. Since $5 \geq 5$, we round up the ten thousands digit $4$ to $5$. The digits to the right of the ten thousands place become $0000$.


Rounding $1,45,678$ to the nearest ten thousand gives $1,50,000$.

Question 21. Estimate the product of $28$ and $32$ by rounding off each number to the nearest ten.

Answer:

We need to estimate the product of $28$ and $32$ by rounding off each number to the nearest ten.

Step 1: Round $28$ to the nearest ten.

Look at the digit in the ones place, which is $8$.

Since $8 \geq 5$, we round up the digit in the tens place ($2$) by $1$, making it $3$. Replace the ones digit with $0$.

Rounded value of $28$ is $30$.


Step 2: Round $32$ to the nearest ten.

Look at the digit in the ones place, which is $2$.

Since $2 < 5$, we keep the digit in the tens place ($3$) as it is. Replace the ones digit with $0$.

Rounded value of $32$ is $30$.


Step 3: Estimate the product.

Multiply the rounded numbers:

Estimated product = $30 \times 30$

Estimated product = $900$


The estimated product of $28$ and $32$ by rounding off each number to the nearest ten is $900$.

Question 22. Arrange the following numbers in descending order: $50005, 50500, 55000, 50050$.

Answer:

We are given the following numbers: $50005, 50500, 55000, 50050$.

To arrange them in descending order (from largest to smallest), we first compare the numbers.

All the numbers have 5 digits.

We compare the digits from the leftmost place (the Ten Thousands place).

In the Ten Thousands place, all numbers have $5$.

Now, compare the digits in the Thousands place:

  • $50005$ has $0$.
  • $50500$ has $0$.
  • $55000$ has $5$.
  • $50050$ has $0$.

The number with the largest digit in the Thousands place is $55000$ (with $5$). This is the largest number.

Now, compare the remaining numbers which have $0$ in the Thousands place: $50005, 50500, 50050$. Compare the digits in the Hundreds place:

  • $50005$ has $0$.
  • $50500$ has $5$.
  • $50050$ has $0$.

The number with the largest digit in the Hundreds place among these is $50500$ (with $5$). This is the second largest number.

Now, compare the remaining numbers which have $0$ in the Hundreds place: $50005, 50050$. Compare the digits in the Tens place:

  • $50005$ has $0$.
  • $50050$ has $5$.

The number with the largest digit in the Tens place is $50050$ (with $5$). This is the third largest number.

The remaining number, $50005$, is the smallest.

Arranging the numbers from largest to smallest gives us the descending order.


The numbers in descending order are: $55000, 50500, 50050, 50005$.

Question 23. A bottle contains $1$ litre $250$ ml of juice. How many millilitres of juice are there in total?

Answer:

div class="answer">

Given: Quantity of juice in the bottle = $1$ litre $250$ ml.

We need to convert this quantity entirely into millilitres.

We know the conversion factor between litres and millilitres:

$1$ litre = $1000$ millilitres (ml).

First, convert the litres part into millilitres:

$1$ litre = $1 \times 1000$ ml = $1000$ ml.

Now, add the millilitres part to this value:

Total millilitres = (Millilitres from litres) + (Given millilitres)

Total millilitres = $1000$ ml + $250$ ml

Total millilitres = $1250$ ml.


Therefore, there are a total of $1250$ millilitres of juice in the bottle.

Question 24. Write the successor of the number $99,999$.

Answer:

The successor of a number is the number that comes just after it.

To find the successor of a number, we add $1$ to the number.

The given number is $99,999$.

Successor of $99,999 = 99,999 + 1$.

Adding $1$ to $99,999$ gives $1,00,000$.

$\begin{array}{cccccc} & & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 & 9 \\ + & & & & & & 1 \\ \hline & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$


The successor of the number $99,999$ is $1,00,000$.

Question 25. Form the largest $5$-digit number using the digits $1, 9, 0, 5, 4$ without repeating any digit.

Answer:

We are given the digits $1, 9, 0, 5, 4$. We need to form the largest 5-digit number using these digits without repetition.

To form the largest number, we should arrange the digits in descending order, starting from the leftmost place (the Ten Thousands place).

The given digits in descending order are $9, 5, 4, 1, 0$.

Placing these digits in order from left to right, we get the number $95410$.


The largest $5$-digit number formed using the digits $1, 9, 0, 5, 4$ without repetition is $95410$.

Question 26. What is a natural number? Give two examples.

Answer:

A natural number is a positive integer, typically used for counting.

The set of natural numbers starts from $1$ and continues indefinitely:

$\{1, 2, 3, 4, ...\}$

In some definitions, natural numbers also include $0$. However, the most common definition used in elementary mathematics starts with $1$.


Two examples of natural numbers are $1$ and $50$.

Question 27. Put commas correctly and write the number name for $87595762$ in the Indian System.

Answer:

The given number is $87595762$.

In the Indian System of Numeration, we put commas from the right, grouping the first three digits, and then grouping every two digits thereafter.

Starting from the right, we have: $762$ (Ones period), $595$ (Thousands period), $87$ (Lakhs period).

Placing the commas: $8,75,95,762$.

Now, we write the number name based on these periods:

  • Lakhs period: $87$ (Eighty-seven)
  • Thousands period: $95$ (Ninety-five)
  • Ones period: $762$ (Seven hundred sixty-two)

Combining these gives the number name.


The number with commas in the Indian System is $8,75,95,762$.

The number name is Eighty-seven lakh ninety-five thousand seven hundred sixty-two.



Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1. Explain the difference between the Indian System and the International System of Numeration. Illustrate with an example of a large number, showing how it is read and commas are placed in both systems.

Answer:

The Indian System and the International System of Numeration are two different ways of placing commas and reading large numbers. They use different groupings of digits.


Indian System of Numeration:

In the Indian System, the place values are grouped into periods as follows: Ones (ones, tens, hundreds), Thousands (thousands, ten thousands), Lakhs (lakhs, ten lakhs), Crores (crores, ten crores), and so on.

Commas are placed from the right. The first comma comes after the hundreds place (3 digits from the right). After that, commas come after every two digits.


International System of Numeration:

In the International System, the place values are grouped into periods as follows: Ones (ones, tens, hundreds), Thousands (thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands), Millions (millions, ten millions, hundred millions), Billions (billions, ten billions, hundred billions), and so on.

Commas are placed from the right after every three digits.


Illustration with an Example:

Let's take the number $987654321$.


In the Indian System:

We group the digits as $98,76,54,321$.

Commas are placed after the hundreds (3 digits), ten thousands (5 digits), and ten lakhs (7 digits) places from the right.

The periods are: Ones (321), Thousands (54), Lakhs (76), Crores (98).

The number is read as:

Ninety-eight crore seventy-six lakh fifty-four thousand three hundred twenty-one.


In the International System:

We group the digits as $987,654,321$.

Commas are placed after every three digits from the right.

The periods are: Ones (321), Thousands (654), Millions (987).

The number is read as:

Nine hundred eighty-seven million six hundred fifty-four thousand three hundred twenty-one.


The key difference lies in the grouping of digits after the first three digits (hundreds period). The Indian System groups in twos (lakhs, crores), while the International System groups in threes (millions, billions).

Question 2. The population of a city in $2020$ was $15,75,340$. In $2023$, the population increased by $3,50,895$. What is the total population of the city in $2023$?

Answer:

Given: Population of the city in $2020 = 15,75,340$. Increase in population from $2020$ to $2023 = 3,50,895$.

To find the total population in $2023$, we need to add the initial population in $2020$ and the increase in population.

Total population in $2023$ = Population in $2020$ + Increase in population.

Total population in $2023 = 15,75,340 + 3,50,895$.

Let's perform the addition:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc} & 1 & 5 & 7 & 5 & 3 & 4 & 0 \\ + & & 3 & 5 & 0 & 8 & 9 & 5 \\ \hline & 1 & 9 & 2 & 6 & 2 & 3 & 5 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Adding the numbers column by column from right to left, with carrying over:

  • Ones: $0 + 5 = 5$
  • Tens: $4 + 9 = 13$. Write down $3$, carry over $1$.
  • Hundreds: $3 + 8 + 1$ (carry-over) $= 12$. Write down $2$, carry over $1$.
  • Thousands: $5 + 0 + 1$ (carry-over) $= 6$. Write down $6$.
  • Ten Thousands: $7 + 5 = 12$. Write down $2$, carry over $1$.
  • Lakhs: $5 + 3 + 1$ (carry-over) $= 9$. Write down $9$.
  • Ten Lakhs: $1 + 0 = 1$. Write down $1$.

The sum is $19,26,235$.


The total population of the city in $2023$ is $19,26,235$.

Question 3. A factory produced $15,675$ bicycles in January and $18,920$ bicycles in February. If they sold $32,500$ bicycles in these two months combined, how many bicycles are left unsold?

Answer:

Given: Number of bicycles produced in January = $15,675$. Number of bicycles produced in February = $18,920$. Number of bicycles sold in two months = $32,500$.

Step 1: Find the total number of bicycles produced in January and February.

Total production = Production in January + Production in February

Total production = $15,675 + 18,920$

Let's perform the addition:

$\begin{array}{ccccc} & 1 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 5 \\ + & 1 & 8 & 9 & 2 & 0 \\ \hline & 3 & 4 & 5 & 9 & 5 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Total production = $34,595$ bicycles.


Step 2: Find the number of unsold bicycles.

Number of unsold bicycles = Total production - Number of bicycles sold

Number of unsold bicycles = $34,595 - 32,500$

Let's perform the subtraction:

$\begin{array}{ccccc} & 3 & 4 & 5 & 9 & 5 \\ - & 3 & 2 & 5 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline & & 2 & 0 & 9 & 5 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Number of unsold bicycles = $2,095$.


There are $2,095$ bicycles left unsold.

Question 4. A car travels a distance of $185$ kilometres in one day. If the car travels the same distance every day, what total distance will it cover in $30$ days? Express your final answer in metres.

Answer:

Given: Distance traveled by car in one day = $185$ kilometres. Number of days the car travels = $30$ days.

Step 1: Find the total distance covered in 30 days in kilometres.

Total distance in kilometres = Distance per day $\times$ Number of days

Total distance in kilometres = $185 \times 30$

Let's perform the multiplication:

$\begin{array}{cccc} & & 1 & 8 & 5 \\ \times & & & 3 & 0 \\ \hline & & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & 5 & 5 & 5 & \times \\ \hline 5 & 5 & 5 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Total distance in kilometres = $5550$ km.


Step 2: Convert the total distance from kilometres to metres.

We know that $1$ kilometre = $1000$ metres.

Total distance in metres = Total distance in km $\times 1000$

Total distance in metres = $5550 \times 1000$ metres

Total distance in metres = $5,550,000$ metres.


The total distance covered by the car in $30$ days is $5,550,000$ metres.

Question 5. Estimate the sum of $56,789$ and $34,123$ by rounding off each number to the nearest thousand. Also, calculate the actual sum and find the difference between the estimated sum and the actual sum.

Answer:

We need to estimate the sum of $56,789$ and $34,123$ by rounding each number to the nearest thousand, calculate the actual sum, and find the difference between them.


Step 1: Round off $56,789$ to the nearest thousand.

To round to the nearest thousand, we look at the digit in the hundreds place. In $56,789$, the digit in the hundreds place is $7$.

Since $7 \geq 5$, we round up the digit in the thousands place ($6$) by $1$, making it $7$. Replace the digits to the right of the thousands place with zeros.

Rounded value of $56,789$ is $57,000$.


Step 2: Round off $34,123$ to the nearest thousand.

To round to the nearest thousand, we look at the digit in the hundreds place. In $34,123$, the digit in the hundreds place is $1$.

Since $1 < 5$, we keep the digit in the thousands place ($4$) as it is. Replace the digits to the right of the thousands place with zeros.

Rounded value of $34,123$ is $34,000$.


Step 3: Calculate the estimated sum.

Estimated sum = Rounded value of $56,789$ + Rounded value of $34,123$

Estimated sum = $57,000 + 34,000$

$\begin{array}{cccccc} & & 5 & 7 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ + & & 3 & 4 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline & & 9 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Estimated sum = $91,000$.


Step 4: Calculate the actual sum.

Actual sum = $56,789 + 34,123$

$\begin{array}{cccccc} & & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 \\ + & & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hline & & 9 & 0 & 9 & 1 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Actual sum = $90,912$.


Step 5: Find the difference between the estimated sum and the actual sum.

Difference = Estimated sum - Actual sum

Difference = $91,000 - 90,912$

$\begin{array}{cccccc} & & 9 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ - & & 9 & 0 & 9 & 1 & 2 \\ \hline & & & & & 8 & 8 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Difference = $88$.


The estimated sum is $91,000$.

The actual sum is $90,912$.

The difference between the estimated sum and the actual sum is $88$.

Question 6. Write the number $76543210$ in both the Indian System and the International System. For each system, place the commas correctly and write the number name.

Reading by periods (Millions, Thousands, Ones):

Millions: $76$ (Seventy-six)

Thousands: $543$ (Five hundred forty-three)

Ones: $210$ (Two hundred ten)

The number name is Seventy-six million five hundred forty-three thousand two hundred ten.

Question 7. Form the largest and the smallest $6$-digit numbers using the digits $2, 9, 0, 5, 8, 4$, with the condition that the digit $0$ must always be in the thousands place. No digit should be repeated.

Answer:

The given digits are $2, 9, 0, 5, 8, 4$. We need to form the largest and smallest 6-digit numbers using these digits without repetition, with the condition that the digit $0$ is always in the thousands place.

A 6-digit number has places for Lakhs (or Hundred Thousands), Ten Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Ones.

The thousands place is fixed for the digit $0$.

The remaining digits are $2, 9, 5, 8, 4$. We need to arrange these five digits in the remaining five places to form the largest and smallest numbers.


To form the largest 6-digit number:

Question 8. A shopkeeper had $50$ kg of rice. He sold $12$ kg $500$ g on Monday and $15$ kg $750$ g on Tuesday. How much rice is left with him? Give your final answer in grams.

Answer:

Given: Initial amount of rice the shopkeeper had = $50$ kg. Amount of rice sold on Monday = $12$ kg $500$ g. Amount of rice sold on Tuesday = $15$ kg $750$ g.

We need to find the amount of rice left, and the final answer should be in grams.

First, let's convert all the quantities to grams, since the final answer is required in grams.

We know that $1$ kilogram (kg) = $1000$ grams (g).


Initial amount of rice = $50$ kg = $50 \times 1000$ g = $50000$ g.


Amount of rice sold on Monday = $12$ kg $500$ g = $(12 \times 1000)$ g $+ 500$ g $= 12000$ g $+ 500$ g $= 12500$ g.

Amount of rice sold on Tuesday = $15$ kg $750$ g = $(15 \times 1000)$ g $+ 750$ g $= 15000$ g $+ 750$ g $= 15750$ g.


Next, find the total amount of rice sold on both days.

Total rice sold = Rice sold on Monday + Rice sold on Tuesday

Total rice sold = $12500$ g $+ 15750$ g.

Let's perform the addition:

$\begin{array}{cccccc} & 1 & 2 & 5 & 0 & 0 \\ + & 1 & 5 & 7 & 5 & 0 \\ \hline & 2 & 8 & 2 & 5 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Total rice sold = $28250$ g.


Finally, find the amount of rice left with the shopkeeper.

Rice left = Initial amount of rice - Total rice sold

Rice left = $50000$ g $- 28250$ g.

Let's perform the subtraction:

$\begin{array}{cccccc} & 5 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ - & 2 & 8 & 2 & 5 & 0 \\ \hline & 2 & 1 & 7 & 5 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Rice left = $21750$ g.


The amount of rice left with the shopkeeper is $21750$ grams.

Question 9. Explain the basic rules for writing Roman numerals using the symbols $\text{I, V, X, L, C}$. Write the Roman numerals for the numbers $65, 94,$ and $49$.

Answer:

The basic Roman numerals provided are $\text{I} (1)$, $\text{V} (5)$, $\text{X} (10)$, $\text{L} (50)$, and $\text{C} (100)$. Here are the basic rules for combining these symbols:


1. Repetition: A symbol like $\text{I, X, C}$ can be repeated up to three times to represent a sum. For example, $\text{III} = 1+1+1 = 3$. The symbols $\text{V}$ and $\text{L}$ are never repeated.

2. Addition (Larger value symbol on the left): If a symbol of smaller value is written to the right of a symbol of greater value, their values are added. For example, $\text{VI} = \text{V} + \text{I} = 5 + 1 = 6$; $\text{LX} = \text{L} + \text{X} = 50 + 10 = 60$; $\text{CX} = \text{C} + \text{X} = 100 + 10 = 110$.

3. Subtraction (Smaller value symbol on the left): If a symbol of smaller value is written to the left of a symbol of greater value, the smaller value is subtracted from the greater value. This rule has specific restrictions:

  • $\text{I}$ can be subtracted only from $\text{V}$ and $\text{X}$ (e.g., $\text{IV} = 5-1=4$, $\text{IX} = 10-1=9$).
  • $\text{X}$ can be subtracted only from $\text{L}$ and $\text{C}$ (e.g., $\text{XL} = 50-10=40$, $\text{XC} = 100-10=90$).
  • $\text{V}$ and $\text{L}$ are never used for subtraction (i.e., they are never placed to the left of a larger value symbol).
  • A symbol is not repeated if it is subtracted (e.g., $9$ is $\text{IX}$, not $\text{IIX}$).


Now, let's write the Roman numerals for the given numbers:

Number 65:

$65 = 60 + 5$

$60 = 50 + 10 = \text{L} + \text{X} = \text{LX}$

$5 = \text{V}$

Combining them: $65 = \text{LX} + \text{V} = \text{LXV}$.

The Roman numeral for $65$ is LXV.


Number 94:

$94 = 90 + 4$

$90 = 100 - 10 = \text{C} - \text{X} = \text{XC}$

$4 = 5 - 1 = \text{V} - \text{I} = \text{IV}$

Combining them: $94 = \text{XC} + \text{IV} = \text{XCIV}$.

The Roman numeral for $94$ is XCIV.


Number 49:

$49 = 40 + 9$

$40 = 50 - 10 = \text{L} - \text{X} = \text{XL}$

$9 = 10 - 1 = \text{X} - \text{I} = \text{IX}$

Combining them: $49 = \text{XL} + \text{IX} = \text{XLIX}$.

The Roman numeral for $49$ is XLIX.

Question 10. Estimate the total cost of buying $12$ chairs if each chair costs $\textsf{₹}985$. First, round the cost of each chair to the nearest hundred, and then calculate the estimated total cost.

Answer:

Given: Cost of each chair = $\textsf{₹}985$. Number of chairs to buy = $12$.

We need to estimate the total cost by rounding the cost of each chair to the nearest hundred.


Step 1: Round off the cost of each chair to the nearest hundred.

The cost of each chair is $\textsf{₹}985$.

To round $\textsf{₹}985$ to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit in the tens place, which is $8$.

Since the digit in the tens place ($8$) is $5$ or greater, we round up the digit in the hundreds place ($9$). When $9$ is rounded up, it becomes $10$. This affects the thousands place (which is implicitly $0$). So, the hundreds place becomes $0$, and the thousands place becomes $1$.

Replace the digits to the right of the hundreds place with zeros.

Rounding $\textsf{₹}985$ to the nearest hundred gives $\textsf{₹}1000$.

Estimated cost per chair = $\textsf{₹}1000$.


Step 2: Calculate the estimated total cost.

Estimated total cost = Estimated cost per chair $\times$ Number of chairs

Estimated total cost = $\textsf{₹}1000 \times 12$

Estimated total cost = $\textsf{₹}12000$.


The estimated total cost of buying $12$ chairs is $\textsf{₹}12000$.

Question 11. An election candidate received $2,45,780$ votes. His opponent received $1,98,560$ votes. By how many votes did the winning candidate win the election?

Answer:

Given: Votes received by the winning candidate = $2,45,780$. Votes received by the opponent = $1,98,560$.

To find out by how many votes the winning candidate won, we need to find the difference between the votes received by the winning candidate and the votes received by the opponent.

Difference in votes = Votes of winning candidate - Votes of opponent

Difference in votes = $2,45,780 - 1,98,560$.

Let's perform the subtraction:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc} & 2 & 4 & 5 & 7 & 8 & 0 \\ - & 1 & 9 & 8 & 5 & 6 & 0 \\ \hline & & 4 & 7 & 2 & 2 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Subtracting column by column from right to left, with borrowing where necessary:

  • Ones: $0 - 0 = 0$.
  • Tens: $8 - 6 = 2$.
  • Hundreds: $7 - 5 = 2$.
  • Thousands: $5 - 8$. We need to borrow from the ten thousands place. The $4$ in the ten thousands place becomes $3$, and the $5$ in the thousands place becomes $15$. $15 - 8 = 7$.
  • Ten Thousands: $3 - 9$. We need to borrow from the lakhs place. The $2$ in the lakhs place becomes $1$, and the $3$ in the ten thousands place becomes $13$. $13 - 9 = 4$.
  • Lakhs: $1 - 1 = 0$. (We don't write $0$ at the beginning of the number).

The difference is $47,220$.


The winning candidate won the election by $47,220$ votes.

Question 12. A tank contains $1500$ litres of water when full. A pump fills it at a rate of $25$ litres per minute. If the tank is currently empty, how long will it take to fill the tank completely? If the tank was already half full, how much more time would be needed to fill it completely?

Answer:

Given: Capacity of the tank = $1500$ litres. Rate of filling by the pump = $25$ litres per minute.


Case 1: The tank is currently empty.

To find the time taken to fill the tank completely from empty, we divide the total capacity of the tank by the rate of filling.

Time taken = $\frac{\text{Total capacity}}{\text{Rate of filling}}$

Time taken = $\frac{1500 \text{ litres}}{25 \text{ litres/minute}}$

Time taken = $\frac{1500}{25}$ minutes.

Let's perform the division:

$\begin{array}{r} 60\phantom{} \\ 25{\overline{\smash{\big)}\,1500}} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{(}(150)\phantom{0}} \\ 000\phantom{} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{()}(000)} \\ 0\phantom{} \end{array}$

Time taken = $60$ minutes.


Case 2: The tank was already half full.

First, find the amount of water already in the tank if it is half full.

Half capacity = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{Total capacity}$

Half capacity = $\frac{1}{2} \times 1500$ litres = $750$ litres.

The amount of water needed to fill the tank completely is the remaining capacity.

Remaining capacity = Total capacity - Amount already in the tank

Remaining capacity = $1500$ litres - $750$ litres = $750$ litres.

Now, find the time needed to fill this remaining capacity at the given rate.

Time needed = $\frac{\text{Remaining capacity}}{\text{Rate of filling}}$

Time needed = $\frac{750 \text{ litres}}{25 \text{ litres/minute}}$

Time needed = $\frac{750}{25}$ minutes.

Let's perform the division:

$\begin{array}{r} 30\phantom{} \\ 25{\overline{\smash{\big)}\,750}} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{(}(75)\phantom{0}} \\ 000\phantom{} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{()}(000)} \\ 0\phantom{} \end{array}$

Time needed = $30$ minutes.


If the tank is empty, it will take $60$ minutes to fill the tank completely.

If the tank was already half full, it would take $30$ more minutes to fill it completely.
