### Exercise – 5 E Solved Questions of ICSE Class-6 Concise Mathematics

#### Question -1.

Find the difference between the largest number of four digits and the smallest number of six digits.

Largest number of four digits = 9999

Smallest number of six digits = 100000
Difference = Smallest number of six digits – Largest number of four digits

= 100000 – 9999

= 90001

#### Question- 2.

Find the difference between the smallest number of eight digits and the largest number of five digits.

Smallest number of eight digits = 10000000
and, largest number of five digits = 99999
Difference = Smallest number of eight digits – largest number of five digits

= 10000000 – 99999

= 9900001

#### Question -3.

The product of two numbers is 528. If the product of their unit’s digits is 8 and the product of their ten’s digits is 4 ; find the numbers.

first case

Product of unit’s digit = 8 = 2 x 4
Unit’s digits are 2 and 4

and second case

product of their ten’s digits is 4 = 2 x 2

Ten’s digits are 2 and 2
Thus, the numbers are either 24 and 22
24 x 22 = 528
The required numbers are 528

#### Question- 4.

Does there exist a number a such that a ÷ a = a?

Yes, A number a is 1
a ÷ a = a
1 ÷ 1 = 1

#### Question -5.

Divide 5936 by 43 to find the quotient and remainder. Also, check your division by using the formula,
dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder.

On dividing 5936 by Divisor 43 gives quotient 138 and remainder 2.

Now, to verify,
Divided = divisor x quotient + remainder
5936 =43 x 138 + 2
= 43 x (100 + 38) + 2
= 4300 + 1634 + 2
= 5936
Hence verified.

987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888

(iii)

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654

(iv)

111 ÷ 3 = 37
222 ÷ 6 = 37
333 ÷ 9 = 37
444 ÷ 12 =37
555 ÷ 15 = 37
666 ÷ 18 =37

8+7+6 = 21

(iii)

16 2 12
6 10 14
8 18 4

Row Wise Sum :-

16+2+12 = 30

6+10+14 = 30

8+18+4 = 30

Column Row Wise Sum

16+6+8 = 30

2+10+18 = 30

12+14+4 = 30

Diagonal Row Wise Sum

16+10+4 = 30

12+10+8 = 30

#### Question- 3.

See the following pattern carefully :

(i) If n denotes the number of figure and S denotes the number of matches ; find S in terms of n.
(ii) Find how many matches are required to make the :
(1) 15th figure
(2) 40th figure
(iii) Write a discretion of the pattern in words.

(ii)

(1) 15th figure has = 3 x 15 + 4 = 49 matches
(2) 40th figure has = 3 x 40 + 4 = 124 matches
(iii) It can easily be observed that each time the figure (n) is increased by 4, the number of matches (S) increased by 3

#### Question- 4.

(i) In the following pattern, draw the next two figures.

(ii) Construct a table to describe the figures in the above pattern.
(iii) If n denotes the number of figure and L denotes the number of matches, find L in terms of n.
(iv) Find how may matches are required to make the :
(1) 12th figure
(2) 20th figure

(iii) L = 2n
(iii) (1) 12th figure
12th figure has = 2 x 12 = 24
(2) 20th figure = 2 x 20 = 40

#### Question -5.

In each of the following patterns, construct next figure.
(i) In each case, if n denotes the number of figure and F denotes the number of matchsticks used, find F in terms of n.
(ii) Also find, in each case, how many matches are required to make the : 16th figure and 30th figure.
