3. Replace each * by the correct digit in each of the following:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
Solution:
(i) We know that in the units digit
6 – * = 7 where the value of * is 9 as 1 gets carried from 7 at tens place to 6 at units place
6 at the units place becomes 16 so 16 – 9 = 7
When 7 is reduced by 1 it gives 6 so 6 – 3 = 3
We know that
8 – * = 6 so we get * value as 2
(ii) We know that in the units digit
9 – 4 = 5
Tens digit 8 – 3 = 5
So the missing blank can be found by subtracting 3455 from 8989
Difference between them = 3455
So the answer is
(iii) We know that in units digit
17 – 8 = 9
Tens digit = 9 – 7 = 2
So we get
Hundreds place 10 – 9 = 1
Thousands place 9 – 8 = 1
So the addend difference = 5061129
Subtract 5061129 from 6000107 to get addend
So the answer is
(iv) We know that in units digit
10 – 1 = 9
Lakhs place 9 – 0 = 9
So the addend difference = 970429
Subtract 970429 from 1000000 to get the addend
So the correct answer is
(v) We know that in units digit
13 – 7 = 6
Tens digit 9 – 8 = 1
Hundreds place 9 – 9 = 0
Thousands place 10 – 6 = 4
So the addend difference = 4844016
Subtract 4844016 from 5001003 to get the addend
So the answer is
(vi) We know that units digit
11 – 9 = 2
So the addend difference = 54322
Subtract 54322 from 111111 to get the addend
So the answer is

So the money which is left out in his account = 125000 – 35425 = Rs 89575
Hence, Rs 89575 is left in his account.
7. The population of a town is 96209. If the number of men is 29642 and that of women is 29167, determine the number of children.
Solution:
Population of a town = 96209
No. of men = 29642
No. of women = 29167
Total number of men and women = 29642 + 29167 = 58809
So the number of children = Population of a town – Total number of men and women
Number of children = 96209 – 58809 = 37400
Hence, there are 37400 children.
8. The digits of 6 and 9 of the number 36490 are interchanged. Find the difference between the original number and the new number.
Solution:
It is given that
Original Number = 39460
Number after interchanging 6 and 9 = 36490
Difference between them = 39460 – 36490 = 2790
Therefore, the difference between the original number and new number is 2970.
9. The population of a town was 59000. In one year it was increased by 4536 due to new births. However, 9218 persons died or left the town during the year. What was the population at the end of the year?
Solution:
Population of a town = 59000
Population increase = 4536
Population decrease = 9218
So the population at the end of year = 59000 + 4536 – 9218 = 54318
Therefore, the population at the end of the year is 54318.

13. In a large housing complex, there are 15 small buildings and 22 large building. Each of the large buildings has 10 floors with 2 apartments on each floor. Each of the small buildings has 12 floors with 3 apartments on each floor. How many apartments are there in all.
Solution:
It is given that
No. of large buildings = 22
No. of small buildings = 15
No. of floors in 1 large building = 10
No. of apartments on 1 floor = 2
So total apartment in 1 large building = 10 × 2 = 20

In order to find the required number of whole numbers subtract 437 from 487 and then subtract again 1.
Hence, there are (487 − 437) − 1 whole numbers lying between 437 and 487.
So we get (487 − 437) − 1 = 50 − 1 = 49
5. The product of the successor of 999 and the predecessor of 1001 is
(a) one lakh (b) one billion (c) one million (d) one crore
Solution:
The option (c) is correct answer.
We know that the successor of 999 = 999 + 1 = 1000
So the predecessor of 1001 = 1001 − 1 = 1000
It can be written as
Product of them = (Successor of 999) × (Predecessor of 1001)
By substituting the values
Product of them = 1000 × 1000 = 1000000 = one million
6. Which one of the following whole numbers does not have a predecessor?
(a) 1 (b) 0 (c) 2 (d) None of these
