Addition and subtraction questions are provided here for students to practice the basic mathematical operations – addition and subtraction. Addition and subtraction are preliminary maths skills that are taught to kids; we must encourage them to practice more questions based on addition and subtraction.
The symbols ‘+’ and ‘–’ represent the addition and subtraction and subtraction of two numbers.

Question 1: Evaluate the following:
(i) 1298 + 738
(ii) 489 – 267
(iii) 4609 + 452 – 178
Solution:
(i) 1298 + 789 = 2086
(ii) 489 – 267 = 222
(iii) 4609 + 452 – 178 = (4609 + 452) – 178 = 5061 – 178 = 4883.

Question 2: Evaluate the following:
(i) 83 + 2/7
(ii) 2½ + 5⅓ – 1¾
(iii) 11/5 + 5/6
(iv) 23.08 + 56.9 + 56
Solution:
(i) 83 + 2/7 = (83 × 7)/7 + 2/7 = (581 + 2)/7 = 583/7
(ii) 2½ + 5⅓ – 1¾ = 5/2 + 16/3 – 7/4
= [(5 × 3)/(2 × 3) + (16 × 2)/(3 × 2)] – 7/4
= [15/6 + 32/6] – 7/4 = 47/6 – 7/4 = 73/12
= 6 1/12.
(iii) 11/5 + 5/6 = (66 + 25)/30 = 91/30
(iv) 23.08 + 56.9 + 56 = 135.98
Question 3: Mala’s monthly income is ₹ 30,000. She have to pay a rent of ₹ 8000 and all her monthly expenses are about ₹ 7500. Find out her monthly savings.
Solution:
Mala’s monthly income = ₹ 30,000
Cost of rent = ₹ 8000
Miscellaneous expenses = ₹ 7500
Monthly savings = 30,000 – (8000 + 7500) = ₹ 14,500.
Question 4: On Monday Tina read 50 pages of a book. On Tuesday she read 100 pages and on Wednesday she read 105 pages of the book. If the book have 500 pages to read, find how many pages are left to be read.
Solution:
Total number of pages = 500
Number of pages read on Monday = 50
Number of pages read on Tuesday = 100
Number of pages read on Wednesday = 105
Number of pages left = 500 – (50 + 100 + 105) = 500 – 255 = 245.
Question 5: Rohan daily travels 2 km by autorickshaw, 3 km by bus and walks the rest to reach his school. If his school 5.458 km far away from his home. How much distance he walks to reach school?
Solution:
Distance covered by autorickshaw = 2 km
Distance covered by bus = 3 km
Distance between his home and school = 5.458 km
Distance covered by walking = 5.458 – (3 + 2) = 0.458 km = 458 metres.
Therefore, Rohan walks 458 metres to reach his school.
Question 6: Solve the following:
(i) – 23 + 105
(ii) 105 – 200 + 3
(iii) ½ + ⅓ – ⅘
(iv) 2.05 – 4.89 + 93
Solution:
(i) – 23 + 105 = 105 – 23 = 82
(ii) 105 – 200 + 3 = (105 + 3) – 200
= 108 – 200 = – 92
(iii) ½ + ⅓ – ⅘ = (½ + ⅓ ) – ⅘
= ⅚ – ⅘ = (25 – 24)/30
= 1/30
(iv) 2.05 – 4.89 + 93 = (2.05 + 93) – 4.89
= 95.05 – 4.89 = 90.16

Question 7: What will be the result if the sum of 250 and 674 is subtracted from the lowest 4-digit number?
Solution:
Lowest 4-digit number = 1000
Sum of 250 and 674 = 924
Now, 1000 – 924 = 76
Question 8: How much should be added to the difference of 960 and 652 to get answer 750?
Solution:
Difference of 960 and 652 = 308
Now, 750 – 308 = 442
Therefore, 442 must be added.
Question 9: A man rows a boat with a speed of 3 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 2 km/hr. Find the speed of rowing the boat upstream and downstream.
Solution:
Speed of rowing boat in still water = 3 km/hr
Speed of the stream = 2 km/hr
Speed of the boat in upstream = (3 – 2) km/hr = 1 km/hr
Speed of the boat in downstream = (3 + 2) km/hr = 5 km/hr
Question 10: The taxi fare for each kilometer travelled is ₹50 with that an extra ₹10 have to be paid for riding the taxi. If a man travels 8 km through taxi, then how much change will he get back after giving a ₹ 500 note to the taxi driver?
Solution:
Taxi fare for each kilometer = ₹50
Taxi riding charge = ₹ 10
Taxi fare for 8km = ₹ (8 × 50) + ₹ 10 = ₹410
Change he will get back = 500 – 410 = ₹90
