Smallest 5-digit number is-(a) 10000(b) 11111(c) 55555(d) 99999

Answer»

Smallest 5-digit number is 10000.

2.

A number when divided by the sum of 555 and 445 gives two times their difference as quotient and 30 as remainder. The number is (a) 220030 (b) 22030 (c) 1220 (d) 1250

Answer»

(a) 220030

Divisor = 555+ 445 = 1000 

Quotient = 2 × (555 – 445) = 220 

Remainder = 30 

\(\therefore\) Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder 

= 1000 × 220 + 30 = 220030.

3.

A number when divided by 296 leaves 75 as remainder. If the same number is divided by 37, the remainder obtained is (a) 2 (b) 1 (c) 11 (d) 8

Answer»

(b) 1

Given number = 296n + 75 

= 37 × 8 × n + (37 × 2 + 1) 

= 37(8n + 2) + 1

\(\therefore\) Required remainder = 1

4.

If the remainder obtained by subtracting a number from its own square is 4 times the number, what is the number ? (a) 4 (b) 3 (c) 6 (d) 5

Answer»

(d) 5

Let the number be x. Then, 

x2 – x = 4x \(\Rightarrow\) x2 = 5x \(\Rightarrow\) x = 5

5.

In the picture, the square on the hypotenuse of the top most right triangle is drawn. Calculate the area and the length of a side of the square.

Answer»

Hypotenuse of first right triangle

\(\sqrt{1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}\)

Hypotenuse of second right triangle

\(\sqrt{\sqrt{2^2}+1^2}=\sqrt{2+1}=\sqrt{3}\)

Hypotenuse of third right triangle

\(\sqrt{\sqrt{3^2}+1^2}=\sqrt{3+1}=\sqrt{4}=2\)

Hypotenuse of fourth right triangle

\(\sqrt{2^2+1^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt{5}\)

i. e. the length of one side of square is \(\sqrt{5}\)

Area \(\sqrt{5}\times\sqrt{5}\) = 5 sq. m

6.

We have seen how we can draw a series of right triangles as in the picture.(i) What are the lengths of the sides of the tenth triangle drawn like this?(ii) How much more is the perimeter of the tenth triangle than the perimeter of the ninth triangle?(iii) How do we write in algebra, the difference in perimeter of the n‘h triangle and that of the triangle just before it?

Answer»

(i) Sides of the first triangle = 1 m, 1 m, \(\sqrt{2}\) m

Sides of the second triangle = 1 m, \(\sqrt{2}\) m, \(\sqrt{3}\) m

Sides of the third triangle = 1 m, \(\sqrt{3}\) m, \(\sqrt{4}\) m

……………

……………

Sides of the tenth triangle = 1 m, \(\sqrt{10}\) m, \(\sqrt{11}\) m

Hypotenuse of the 10th triangle is \(\sqrt{11}\)

Perpendicular sides are \(\sqrt{10}\), 1

(ii) Perimeter of tenth triangle

= 1 m + \(\sqrt{10}\) m + \(\sqrt{11}\) m

Perimeter of ninth triangle = 1 m + \(\sqrt{9}\) m + \(\sqrt{10}\) m

More in the perimeter

\(=(\sqrt{10}+\sqrt{11}+1)-(\sqrt{9}+\sqrt{10}+1)\)

\(=\sqrt{11}-\sqrt{9}\) = \((\sqrt{11}-3)\)m

(iii) Sides of the nth triangle are

\(\sqrt{n}\)\(\sqrt{n}\) + 1, 1

The sides of the (n – 1)th triangle are

\(\sqrt{n}-1,\) \(\sqrt{n},\) 1

The difference in perimeter

\(=(\sqrt{n}+1)-(\sqrt{n}-1)\)

7.

What is the total length of the line joining two lines of lengths √2cm, √3. Find the length correct to 3 decimal places.

Answer»

= 1.414 + 1.732 = 3.146 cm

8.

A Poultry has produced 15472 eggs and fits 30 eggs in a tray. How many trays do they need?

Answer»

Total eggs = 15472 

No. of eggs in 1 tray = 30 

No. of trays needed = 15472 ÷ 30 

= 516 

No. of trays needed = 516 [515 + 1 for remaining 22 eggs]

9.

Rs 62500 was equally distributed as a New Year bonus for 25 employees of a company. How much did each receive?

Answer»

Total amount = Rs 62500 

Total number of employees = 25 

Bonus amount received by each employee = Rs 62500 ÷ 25 

= RS \(\frac{62500}{25}\)

= Rs 2500

10.

Mullaikodi has 25 bags of apples. In each bag there are 9 apples. She shares them equally amongst her 6 friends. How many apples do each get? Are there any apples left over?

Answer»

No of apple bags = 25

Apples in each bag = 9 

Total no of apples = 25 x 9 

= 225 

Apples shared among her 6 friends = 225 ÷ 6 

So, among her 6 friends, each of them get 37 apples and 3 apples are left over.

If x = 7, y = -6 and z = -2, find the value of i. (x + y) + z ii. x + (y + z) iii. xyz iv. (x + y)z v. xy + xz

Answer»

i. (x + y) + z = (7 + -6) + -2 = 1 – 2 = -1

ii. x + (y + z) = 7 + (-6 + -2)

= 7 – 8 = -1

iii. xyz = 7 × -6 × -2 = 84

iv. (x + y)z = (7 + -6) × -2

= 1 × -2 = -2

v. xy + xz = (7 × -6) + (7 × -2)

= -42 – 14

= -56

If x = 8 and y = -3; find the values of x + y, y + x, x – y, y – x, -x – y and – y – x

Answer»

x + y = 8 + -3 = 5

y + x = -3 + 8 = 5

x – y = 8 – (-3) = 8 + 3 = 11

y – x = -3 – 8 = -11

– x – y = -8 – (-3) = -8 + 3 = -5

-y – x = -(-3) – 8 = 3 – 8 = -5
