#### Question 1.

Which is greater ?
(i) 537 or 98
(ii) 2428 or 529
(iii) 2, 59, 467 or 10, 35, 729

(i) 537 or 98
Since 537 is three digit number and 98 is two digit number.
Hence 537 > 98 and 537 is greater
(ii) 2428 or 529
Since 2498 is four digit number and 529 is three digit number.
2498 > 529 ; 2498 is greater
(iii) 2, 59, 467 or 10, 35, 729
Since 10, 35, 729 is seven digit number and 2, 59, 467 is six digit number
10, 35, 729 > 2, 59, 467 ; 10, 35, 729 is greater

#### Question 2.

Which is smaller ?
(i) 428 or 437
(ii) 2497 or 2597
(iii) 3297 or 3596

(i) 428 or 437
We observe that both the numbers are of three-digits.
And at the leftmost, both the number have same digit i.e. 4. But at the second place from the left, the first, number has 2 and the second number has 3.
Since 2 < 3
437 is greater

(ii) 2497 or 2597
We observe that both the numbers are of four digits.
And at the leftmost, both the numbers have same digit i.e. 2. But at the second place from the left, the first number has 4 and the second number has 5.
Since 4 < 5
2597 is greater
(iii) 3297 or 3596
We observe that both the numbers are of four digits.
And at the leftmost, both the numbers have same digit i.e. 2. But at the second place from the left, the first number has 4 and the second number has 5.
Since 4 < 5
3596 is greater

#### Question 3.

Which is greater ?
(i) 45293 or 45427
(ii) 380362 or 381007
(iii) 63520 or 63250
(i) 45293 or 45427
We observe that both the numbers are of 5-digits.
And at the digits at leftmost and second place from the left are same.
But the digits at the third place from the left are different, the first number has 2 and the second number has 4.
Since 2 < 4
45427 is greater
(ii) 380362 or 381007
We observe that both the numbers are of 6-digits.
And at the digits at leftmost and second place from the left are same.
But the digits at the third place from the left are different, the first number has 0 and the second number has 1.
Since 0 < 1
381007 is greater
(iii) 63520 or 63250
We observe that both the numbers are of 5-digits.
And at the digits at leftmost and second place from the left are same.
But the digits at the third place from the left are different, the first number has 5 and the second number has 2.
Since 5 < 2
63520 is greater

#### Question 4.

 5 4 0 2 7 6 3 6 9 9 9 8

Clearly, both the numbers have equal number of digits i.e. 6
And at the leftmost, the first number has 5 and the second number has 3.
Since 5 > 3
540276 is greater.
(ii) 6983245 and 6893254

 6 9 8 3 2 4 5 6 8 9 3 2 5 4

Clearly, both the numbers have equal number of digits i.e. 7
And at the leftmost, both have the same digit i.e. 6
And at the second place from the left, the first number has 9 and the second number has 8.
Since 9 > 8
6983245 is greater.

Population of a city in 2014 = 3,54, 976
Population increased in 2015 = 68, 438
Total population at the end of the year 2015 = 3, 54, 976 + 68, 438 = 423414
Question 2.
A = 7,43,000 and B = 8,00,100. Which is greater A or B ? And, by how much?
A = 7,43,000
B = 8,00,100
B is greater than A. (B > A)
Because = B – A
Since A = 7, 43, 000 and B = 800,100 and both the numbers have 6 digits.
And at the leftmost, the first number has 7 and the second number has 8.
Since 8 > 7
800, 600 > 7,43,000 (B > A)
B is greater than A by = 800, 100 – 7, 43, 000 = 57, 100

#### Question 3.

A small and thin notebook has 56 pages. How many total number of pages will 5326 such note-books have?
Number of pages in one notebook = 56 pages
Number of pages in 5326 notebooks = 5326 x 56 = 298256 pages

#### Question 4

The number of sheets of paper available for making notebooks is 75,000. Each sheet makes 8 pages of a notebook. Each notebook contains 200 pages. How many notebooks can be made from the available paper ?
Number of sheets available = 75, 000
Number of pages obtained from one sheet = 8
Total number of pages obtained = 8 x 75, 000 = 6, 00, 000

#### Question 5.

Add 1, 76, 209; 4, 50, 923 and 44, 83, 947
1, 76, 209 + 4, 50, 923 + 44, 83, 947

Adding these values, we get = 51, 11, 079

#### Question 6.

A cricket player has so far scored 7, 849 runs in test matches. He wishes to complete 10, 000 runs ; how many more runs does he need ?
Score of cricket player = 7, 849 runs
Total scores he wish to complete = 10,000
Runs required = 10, 000 – 7, 849 = 2151

#### Question 7.

In an election two candidates A and B are the only contestants. If candidate A scored 9, 32, 567 votes and candidates B scored 9, 00, 235 votes, by how much margin did A win or loose the election ?
Scores of candidate A = 9,32,567
Scores of candidate B = 9,00,235
Candidate A win the election By margin = 9,32,567 – 9,00,235 = 32,332 scores

#### Question 8.

Find the difference between the largest and the smallest number that can be written using the digits 5, 1, 6,3 and 2 without repeating any digit.
The digits given are = 5, 1, 6, 3 and 2
The largest 5-digit number that can be formed using the digits 5, 1, 6, 3 and 2 = 65321
The smallest 5-digit number that can be formed using the digits 5, 1,6, 37and 2 =12356
Difference between 65321 and 12356
= 65321 – 12356 = 52,965

#### Question 9.

A machine manufactures 5,782 screws every day. How many screws will it manufacture in the month of April ?
Number of screws in one day = 5, 782
Number of days in April = 30 days
Number of screws in April = 5, 782 x 30 = 1,73,460

#### Question 10.

A man had ₹ 1, 57, 184 with him. He placed an order for purchasing 80 articles at 125 each. How much money will remain with him after the purchase ?
Money in hand = ₹ 1, 57, 184
Number of articles purchased = 80
Cost of one article = ₹ 125
Cost of 80 articles = ₹ 80 x 125 = ₹ 10,000

#### Question 11.

A student multiplied 8,035 by 87 instead of multiplying by 78. By how much was his answer greater than or less than the correct answer ?
Correct answer = 8,035 x 87 = 6,99,045

#### Question 12.

Mohani has 30 m cloth and she wants to make some shirts for her son. If each shirt requires 2 m 30 cm cloth, how many shirts, in all, can be made and how much length of cloth will be lefft ?

Total length of cloth available = 30 m or 30 x 100 = 3000 cm
Shirt made by using 2m 30cm (230 cm) cloth = 1
Shirts made by using 30 m cloth = $\frac { 1 }{ 230 }$ x 3000 = 13.04 = 13 shirts
Cloth required to make 13 shirts = 230 x 13 = 2990 cm or 29 m 90 cm
Hence, remaining cloth = 30 m – 29 m = 1m

#### Question 13.

The weight of a box is 4 kg 800 gm. What is the total weight of 150 boxes?>
Weight of one box = 4 kg 800 gm
Total weight of 150 boxes = 4 kg 800 g x 150 = 720 kg

#### Question 14.

The distance between two places A and B is 3 km 760 m. A boy travels A to B and then B to A every day. How much distance does he travel in 8 days?
Distance between two places = 3 km 760 m 3760 m
Distance among A to B and B to A = 2 x 3760 m = 7520 m
In 8 days he travelled = 7520 x 8 = 60160 m or 60 km 160 m

#### Question 15.

An oil-tin contains 6 litre 60 ml oil. How many identical bottles can the oil fill, if capacity of each bottle is 30 ml ?
Oil contained in a tin = 6 litre 60 ml = 6 x 1000 + 60 = 6060 ml
Capacity of each bottle = 30 ml
No. of bottled can be filled with 30 ml oil = 6060 ÷ 30 = 202 bottles

#### Question 16.

(ii) What was the total sale receipt of the company during these two years?
Sale receipt of the company during first year = ₹ 83,73,540
Sale decreased in second year = ₹ 7,84,670
(i) The sale receipt of the company during second year = ₹ 83,73,540 – ₹ 7,84,670
