Exercise – 5 A Playing with Number ICSE Class-8th 

Question 1 :-

Write the quotient when the sum of 73 and 37 is divided by
(i) 11
(ii) 10
Answer :-

(i) 11

Sum of 73 and 37 is to be divided by 11

Let ab = 73
and ba = 37

∴ a = 7
and b = 3

The quotient of ab + bc i.e. (73 + 37) when divided by 11 is a + b = 7 + 3 = 10

(∵ ab+ba/11=a+b)

 

Question 2 :-

Write the quotient when the sum of 94 and 49 is divided by
(i) 11
(ii) 13
Answer :-

(i) 11

Sum of 94 and 49 is to be divided by 11

Let ab = 94
and ba = 49

∴ a = 9 and b = 4

The quotient of 94 + 49 (i.e. ab + ba)
When divided by 11 is a + b i.e. 9 + 4 = 13

(∵ ab + ba/11=a + b)

 

Question 3 :-

Find the quotient when 73 – 37 is divided by
(i) 9
(ii) 4
Answer :-

(i) 9

Difference of 73 – 37 is to be divided by 9

Let ab = 73 and ba = 37
∴ a = 7 and b = 3

The quotient of 73 – 37 (i.e. ab – bc) when divided by 7 is a – b i.e. 7 – 3 = 4

(∵ ab – ba /9 =a – b)

 

Question 4 :-

Find the quotient when 94 – 49 is divided by
(i) 9
(ii) 5
Answer :-

(i) 9

Difference of 94 and 49 is to be divided by 9

Let ab = 94 and ba = 49
∴ a = 9 and b = 4

The quotient of 94 – 49 i.e. (ab – ba) when divided by 9 is (a -b) i.e. 9 – 4 = 5

(∵ ab – ba/9=a – b)

(ii) 5

Difference of 94 and 49 is to be divided by 5

Let ab = 94 and ba = 49
∴ a = 9 and b = 4

The quotient of 94 – 49 i.e. (ab -ba) when divided by 5 i.e. (a -b) is 9

(∵ ab -ba/a – b=9)

 

Question 5 :-

Show that 527 + 752 + 275 is exactly divisible by 14.
Answer :-

Property:

abc = 100a + 106 + c ………(i)
bca = 1006 + 10c + a ……..(ii)
and cab = 100c + 10a + b ……….(iii)
Adding, (i), (ii) and (iii), we get abc + bca + cab = 111a + 111b + 111c = 111(a + b + c) = 3 x 37(a + b + c)
Now, let us try this method on
527 + 752 + 275 to check is it exactly divisible by 14
Here, a = 5, 6 = 2, c = 7
527 + 752 + 275 = 3 x 37(5 + 2 + 7) = 3 x 37 x 14
Hence, it shows that 527 + 752 + 275 is exactly divisible by 14.

 

Question 6 :-

If a = 6, show that abc = bac.
Answer :-

Given: a = b

To show: abc = bac

Proof: 

Let a = b = k     ……(i)

k = any constant value

then LHS = abc

abc = 100a + 10b + c

From equation (i)

abc = 100(k) + 10k + c

abc = 100k + 10k + c

abc = 110k + c

RHS = bac
RHS = 100b + 10a + c

From equation(i)
RHS = 100k + 10k + c
RHS = 110k + c

Hence,
LHS = RHS
abc = bac.

 

Question 7 :-

If a > c; show that abc – cba = 99(a – c).
Answer :-

Given, a > c

To show: abc – cba = 99(a – c)

Proof: abc = 100a + 10b + c ……….(i)
(By using property 3)
cba = 100c + 10b + a ………..(ii)
(By using property 3)
Subtracting, equation (ii) from (i), we get
abc – cba = 100a + c – 100c – a
abc – cba = 99a – 99c
abc – cba = 99(a – c)
Hence proved.

 

Question 8 :-

If c > a; show that cba – abc = 99(c – a).
Answer :-

Given: c > a

To show: cba – abc = 99(c – a)

Proof:
cba = 100c + 106 + a ……….(i)
(By using property 3)

abc = 100a + 106 + c ………(ii)
(By using property 3)

Subtracting (ii) from (i)

cba – abc= 100c+ 106 + a- 100a- 106-c

⇒ cba – abc = 99c – 99a

⇒ cba – abc = 99(c – a)

Hence proved.

 

Question 9 :-

If a = c, show that cba – abc = 0.
Answer :-

Given: a = c

To show: cba – abc = 0

Proof:

cba = 100c + 106 + a …………(i)
(By using property 3)

abc = 100a + 106 + c …………(ii)
(By using property 3)

Since, a = c,

Substitute the value of a = c in equation (i) and (ii), we get

cba = 100c + 10b + c ……….(iii)

abc = 100c + 10b + c …………(iv)

Subtracting (iv) from (iii), we get

cba – abc – 100c + 106 + c – 100c – 106 – c

⇒ cba – abc = 0

⇒ cba = abc

Hence proved.

 

Question 10 :-

Show that 954 – 459 is exactly divisible by 99.
Answer :-

To show: 954 – 459 is exactly divisible by 3 99, where a = 9, b = 5, c = 4

abc = 100a + 10b + c

⇒ 954 = 100 x 9 + 10 x 5 + 4

⇒ 954 = 900 + 50 + 4 ………(i)

and 459 = 100 x 4+ 10 x 5 + 9

⇒ 459 = 400 + 50 + 9 ……..(ii)

Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get

954 – 459 = 900 + 50 + 4 – 400 – 50 – 9

⇒ 954 – 459 = 500 – 5

⇒ 954 – 459 = 495

⇒ 954 – 459 = 99 x 5

Hence, 954 – 459 is exactly divisible by 99

Hence proved.

 


 Exercise – 5 B  Selina Solutions ICSE Class-8 Mathematics Playing with Number 

Question 1 :-

3 A
2 5
B 2

Answer :-

A = 7 as 7 + 5 = 12.
We want 2 at units place and 1 is carry over.
Now 3 + 2 + 1 = 6
B = 6
Hence A = 7 and B = 6

3 7
2 5
6 2

 

Question 2 :-

9 8
+ 4 A
C B 3

Answer :-

A = 5 as 8 + 5 = 13.
We want 3 at units place and 1 is carry over.
Now 9 + 4 + 1 = 14.
B = 4 and C = 1
Hence A = 5 and B = 4 and C = 1

9 8
+ 4 A
  14 3

 

Question 3 :-

A 1
+1 B
B 0
Answer :-

B = 9 as 9 + 1 = 10.
We want 0 at units place and 1 is carry over.
Now B – 1 -1 = A.
∴ A = 9 – 2 = 7
Hence A + 7 and B = 9

7 1
+ 1 9
 9 0

 

Question 4 :-

2 A B
+ A B  1 

 B 1  8
Answer :-

B = 7 as  7 + 1 = 8.
We want 8 at unit place.
Now
7 + A = 11
∴ A = 11 – 7 = 4
Hence A = 4 and B = 7

2 4 7
+ 4 7  1 

 7 1  8

 

Question 5 :-

1 2 A
+ 6 A B
A 0 9
Answer :-

A + B = 9
and 2 + A = 10
∴ A = 10 – 2 = 8
and 8 + B = 9
∴ B = 9 – 8 = 1
Hence A = 8 and B = 1

1 2 8
+  6 8 1
8 0 9

 

Question 6 :-

Now we want to find A, 6 x A + 2 = 4 (at unit’s place)
∴  A = 7

7 4
x 6
4 4  4

 

Question 8 :-

A B
x 3
C A  B
Answer :-

As we need B at unit place and A at ten’s places,
∴ B = 0 as 3 x 0 = 0
Now we want to find A, 3 x A = A (at unit’s place)
∴  A = 5, as 3 x 5 = 15
∴  C = 1

∴ C = 11 – 5 = 6
and 8 + B + 1 = 15
∴  B = 15 -9 = 6
and A + 5 + 1 = 13
∴  A = 13 – 6 = 7
and 6 + D + 1 = 9
∴  D = 9 – 7 = 2
Hence A = 7, B = 6, C = 6 and D = 2
