PART ONE

1 Basic Concepts in Geometry

Let’s discuss. Complete the rangoli Then, have a class

discussion with the help of the following questions :
(1) What kind of surface do you need for making
a rangoli?
(2) How do you start making a rangoli?
(3) What did you do in order to complete the
rangoli?
(4) Name the different shapes you see in the
rangoli
(5) Would it be possible to make a rangoli on a
scooter or on an elephant’s back?
(6) When making a rangoli on paper, what do you
use to make the dots?

Let’s learn.
Points
A point is shown by a tiny dot We can use a
pen or a sharp pencil to make the dot The dots in TŸ
the rangoli are the symbols for points
A point can be given a name Capital letters of ŸP A
Ÿ
the alphabet are used to name a point The points
P, A and T are shown in the figure alongside
Line Segments and Lines
A Take two points A and B on a sheet of paper
and join them using a ruler We get the straight line
B AB Can we extend this line further on the side of
point B? On the side of point A? How far can we
A extend it?
We can extend the line in both directions till the
B edges of the paper If the paper is very big, the line
can be very long, too
How long would the line be on a playing field?
1
 Let’s imagine that we can extend this line forever
without any limits on both sides To show this extended
line on paper, we use arrowheads at both ends of the A
line In mathematics, when we say line, we mean ‘straight B
line’ The first line that we drew was only from point A
to point B It was a piece or a segment of the longer line
A line segment has two points showing its limits They
are called endpoints We write line segment AB as
‘seg AB’ in short A and B are its endpoints A line is l
P Q
named using a small letter or by using any two points on
the line Line l has been shown alongside Its name can
also be written as line PQ or line QP
Rays

Look at the pictures What do you see?

Rays starting from the sun go forward in all
directions Light rays from the torch also
start from a point and go forward
continuously in one direction

A ray is a part of a line It starts at one point and goes

P Q
forward continuously in the same direction The starting point
of a ray is called its origin Here, P is the origin An arrowhead is drawn to show that the
ray is infinite in the direction of Q The figure can be read as ray PQ
The ray PQ is not read as ray QP.

Try this.
Activity 1 : Draw a point on the blackboard Every student now
draws a line that passes through that point
How many such lines can be drawn? P
Activity 2 : Draw a point on a paper and use your ruler to draw lines
that pass through it How many such lines can you draw?
An infinite number of lines can be drawn through one point.
When two or more lines pass through the same point, they are called concurrent
lines and the common point through which they pass is called their point of concurrence
In the figure alongside, which is the point of concurrence? Name it
2
 Can you tell?
There are 9 points in this figure Name them
If you choose any two points, how many lines can
pass through the pair?
One and only one line can be drawn through any
two distinct points.
Which three or more of these nine points lie on a
straight line? Three or more points which lie on a
single straight line are said to be collinear points. Of these nine points, name any three
or more points which do not lie on the same line Points which do not lie on the same
line are called non-collinear points.

Let’s learn.
Planes
Look at the pictures What
kind of surfaces do you see?
The surfaces in the first
two pictures are flat Each flat
surface is a part of an infinite
surface In mathematics, a
flat surface is called a plane.
The name of the plane in the picture is ‘H’ Even
though we draw a suitably small figure of the plane, it H
actually extends infinitely on all sides Arrows are drawn
to show that the plane extends infinitely in all directions
However, these arrows are often omitted for the sake of
convenience.

Parallel Lines
Look at this page from a notebook Is this page a part of a plane?
If we extend the lines that run sideways on the page, will they meet
each other somewhere?

Now I know -
Lines which lie in the same plane but do not intersect are said to be
parallel to each other.
3
 Write the proper term, ‘intersecting lines’ or ‘parallel lines’ in each of the empty boxes.

My friend, Maths : On the ground, in the sky.

Observe the picture of the

game being played Identify the
collinear players, non-collinear
players, parallel lines and
the plane

In January, we can see the constellation

of Orion in the eastern sky after seven in the
evening Then it moves up slowly in the sky
Can you see the three collinear stars in this
constellation? Do you also see a bright star
on the same line some distance away?

Practice Set 1

 2 Angles

Let’s recall.
Angles
Look at the angles shown in the pictures below Identify the type of angle and write its
name below the picture

............ ............ ............

Complete the following table :

L M
P O
Angle
Y S
R N B

Name of the angle

Vertex of the angle

Arms of the angle

Try this.
Activity : Ask three or more children to
stand in a straight line Take two long
ropes Let the child in the middle hold
one end of each rope With the help of
the ropes, make the children on either
side stand along a straight line Tell them
to move so as to form an acute angle, a
right angle, an obtuse angle, a straight
angle, a reflex angle and a full or complete
angle in turn Keeping the rope stretched
will help to ensure that the children form
straight lines
6
Try this. : Use two sticks of different colours to make the angles from
angle (a) to angle (g)
In figure (a), the two sticks lie one upon the other There
is no change in their position In this position, the angle
(a) between the sticks is called a zero angle The measure of
the zero angle is written as 0°
Now, keeping one stick in place, turn the other one around
as shown in the figure
The angle formed in figure (b) is angle
An angle greater than 0° but less than 90° is called
(b) angle

The angle formed in figure (c) is angle

An angle of 90° is called angle

(c)

The angle formed in figure (d) is angle

An angle greater than 90° but less than 180° is called
angle
(d)
If the stick is turned further in the direction shown in figure
(d) we get a position as in figure (e) An angle like this is
(e) called a straight angle. A straight angle measures 180°

If the stick is turned even further as shown in figure (e), we

get an angle like the one in figure (f) This angle is greater
(f) than 180° Such an angle is called a reflex angle A reflex
angle is greater than 180° and less than 360°
The stick in figure (f) completes one round and comes back
to its original position as in figure (g) It turned through 180°
till it made a straight angle and 180° after making the straight
(g) angle, thus completing 360° in all An angle made in this
way is called a full or complete angle The measure of a
complete angle is 360°
7
 My friend, Maths : At the fair, at home, in the garden.

Look at the pictures above and identify the different types of angles
Practice Set 2
1. Match the following 2. The measures of some angles are given

(d) (e) (f)

4. Use a protractor to draw an acute angle, a right angle and an obtuse angle

8
 Let’s recall.
Get to know your compass box.

Compass Protractor

Scale/Ruler

You have learnt what these instruments are used for

Let’s learn.
There are two more types of instruments in the compass box Let’s see how to use them
Set Squares The Divider
The instrument shown
alongside is the divider
It is used to measure the
distance between two
Look at the two set squares in the box and points To do so, a scale
observe their angles Try and see how they can also has to be used along
be used to draw angles of 90°, 30°, 60° and 45° with the divider

Try this.
An Angle Bisector
Take a sheet of tracing paper Draw an angle of any measure
on it Fold the paper so that the arms of the angle fall on each
other What does the fold do? Observe that the fold divides the
angle into two equal parts This fold is the bisector of the angle A
Take points A and B on the arms of the angle at equal distances T
P
from the vertex Now take points C, P, T on the bisector of the C
angle Measure the distance of each of these points from the B
points A and B
Note that each of the points on the bisector is equidistant from the points A and B

9
 Let us see how to use geometrical instruments to construct geometrical figures
(1) To draw an angle bisector using a compass.
Example : Draw any angle ABC Draw its bisector
AŸ
Ÿ Draw an angle ∠ABC of any measure
P
Ÿ Now place the point of a compass on point B and with
B Ÿ any convenient distance draw an arc to cut rays BA
Q C
and BC Name the points of intersection as P and Q
AŸ respectively

P
Ÿ Now, place the point of the compass at P and taking a
convenient distance, draw an arc inside the angle Using
CŸ
B Q the same distance, draw another arc inside the angle
from the point Q, to cut the previous arc
A
Ÿ
Ÿ Name the point of intersection as point O Now draw
P O ray BO Ray BO is the bisector of ∠ABC Measure
∠ABO and ∠CBO
B Q ŸC Ÿ Are they of equal measure?

(2) To construct an angle equal in measure to a given angle, using a compass and ruler.
Example : Look at the given ∠ABC in the figure alongside Draw ∠PQR equal in measure
to ∠ABC
Ÿ Draw ray QR A
Ÿ Place the compass point at vertex B of ∠ABC D
and taking a convenient distance, draw an arc
to cut the rays BA and BC at points D and E
respectively B E C
Ÿ Using the same distance again, place the
compass point at point Q of ray QR and draw
an arc Let this arc cut the ray QR at T
Ÿ Now place the point of the compass at point
E and open the compass to a distance equal Q T R
to DE
10
Ÿ Now place the compass point on point T S
Ÿ Using the distance equal to DE, draw an arc to cut the
previous arc at S Q T R
Ÿ Draw the ray QS Take any point P on ray QS
P
Ÿ Using a protractor verify that the ∠PQR so formed is of S
the same measure as ∠ABC
Q T R

Try this.

(1) Construct an angle bisector to obtain an angle of 30°.

First construct an ∠ABC of measure 60° Use a compass and ruler to bisect
∠ABC What is the measure of each angle so formed? Verify using a protractor
(2) Construct an angle bisector to draw an angle of 45°.
Draw two intersecting lines perpendicular to each other Construct an angle
bisector to get an angle of 45°.

Practice Set 3

- Use the proper geometrical instruments to construct the following angles Use the
compass and the ruler to bisect them
(1) 50° (2) 115° (3) 80° (4) 90°

ÒÒÒ

ICT Tools or Links

Use the tools in Geogebra to draw angles of different measures Use the ‘move’ option
and see how the measures of the angle change!

 3 Integers

Let’s recall.

Count how many boys, flowers and ducks there are in the picture We have to count
objects in order to find out the answer to ‘How many?’ Numbers were created because
of the need to count things in nature We write the count of things in the form of numbers

Let’s discuss.

Dada : The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, that we have used up to now for counting are called
‘counting numbers’. They are also called natural numbers But is it possible to
count the stars in the sky or the grains of sand on the beach? They are innumerable
and so are the natural numbers Look at this list of natural numbers:
Natural numbers : 1, 2, 3, 4, , 321, 322, , 28573,
Samir : We have already learnt to add and subtract these natural numbers But when we
subtract 5 from 5 nothing remains The zero that we write to show that, is not
seen in this list
Dada : Of course, we cannot do without ‘zero’ The set of all natural numbers together
with zero is the set of whole numbers.
Whole numbers : 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, , 367, 368, , 237105,
Dada : We need to use some other numbers which are not there in this group
Salma : Which are those?
Dada : Here’s an example In Maharashtra, the temperature falls to 10 °C (10 degrees
Celsius) or even 8 °C in winter, but not down to 0 °C But in Kashmir, it may
fall even below 0 °C To show that, we need numbers that are less than zero

12
Samir : In January, when the papers said that it was snowing in Kashmir, the temperature
in Srinagar was -8 °C How do we read that?
Dada : It is read as ‘minus eight degrees Celsius’ When we put a minus sign ( - ) before
any number, the number obtained is less than zero It is called a negative number
On a thermometer, there are increasing numbers like 1, 2, 3, above 0 These
are called positive numbers The numbers below zero are -1, -2, -3,
Samir : Can we show negative numbers on the number line?
Dada : Of course! On the right of zero at distances of 1, 2, 3, units are the numbers
1, 2, 3, On the left of zero at 1, 2, 3, unit distances are the numbers
-1, -2, -3, They are called negative numbers The numbers 1, 2, 3,
on the right are called positive numbers They can be written as 1, 2, 3, and
also +1, +2, +3,
Salma : On the thermometer, the positive numbers are above zero and the negative
numbers are below it On the number line, they are on the right and left sides
of zero respectively Does it mean that positive and negative numbers are on
opposite sides of zero?
Dada : Correct!
Samir : Then should we use positive numbers to show height above sea level and negative
numbers for depth below sea level?
Dada : You’re right, too! Very good!

Take care!
The ‘+’ sign is generally not written before positive numbers However, it is necessary
to write the ‘-’ sign of a negative number Zero does not have any sign

Try this.

Take warm water in one beaker, some crushed ice in another and a mixture of salt
and crushed ice in a third beaker Ask your teacher for help in measuring the temperature
of the substance in each of the beakers using a thermometer Note the temperatures

Warm water Crushed ice Crushed ice and salt

13
 Let’s learn.
Integers
Positive numbers, zero and negative numbers together form a group
of numbers called the group of integers.

My friend, Maths : At the fair, in the lift.

Look at the picture of the kulfi man In a lift, the ground floor is numbered 0
Why do you think he keeps the kulfi (zero) while the floors below the ground
moulds in a mixture of salt and ice? level are numbered -1 and -2

Let’s learn.
Showing Integers on the Number Line
The point on a number line which is marked 0 is called the origin On the left and right
of 0, points are marked at equal distances The numbers shown by points on the right are
positive numbers and those shown by points on the left are negative numbers

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7
Negative numbers Origin Positive numbers

Example : Show the numbers -7 and +8 on the number line

-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8

14
 Can you tell?
My class, that is Std VI, is a
part of my school My school is
in my town My town is a part
Natural numbers Whole Integers of a taluka In the same way,
numbers the taluka is a part of a district,
1, 2, 3, 0 -1, -2,
and the district is a part of
Maharashtra State
In the same way, what can
you say about these groups of
numbers?

Practice Set 4
1 Classify the following numbers as positive numbers and negative numbers
-5, +4, -2, 7, +26, -49, -37, 19, -25, +8, 5, -4, -12, 27
2 Given below are the temperatures in some cities Write them using the proper signs
Place Shimla Leh Delhi Nagpur
Temperature 7 °C below 0° 12 °C below 0° 22 °C above 0° 31 °C above 0°
3 Write the numbers in the following examples using the proper signs
(1) A submarine is at a depth of 512 metres below sea level
(2) The height of Mt Everest, the highest peak in the Himalayas, is 8848 metres
(3) A kite is flying at a distance of 120 metres from the ground
(4) The tunnel is at a depth of 2 metres under the ground

My friend, Maths : On the playground.

2016 2021
Ÿ On the playground, mark a timeline showing the years from 2000 to 2024 With one
child standing at the position of the current year, ask the following questions :
(1) While playing this game, what is his/her age?
(2) Five years ago, which year was it? And what was his/her age then?
(3) In which year will he/she go to Std X? How old will he/she be then?

15
 The child should find answers to such questions by walking the right number of units
and in the right direction on the timeline
Ÿ Next, the unit on the timeline on the playground should be of 100 years This will make
it possible to count the years from 0 to 2100 on it Important historical events can then
be shown in the proper centuries
Addition of Integers
On the number line, we shall show the rabbit’s hops to the right with positive signs
and the ones to the left with negative signs
Activity :

-1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7

Ÿ At first the rabbit was at the number . Ÿ It hopped units to the right
Ÿ It is now at the number
1 + 5 = (+1) + (+5) = +6
Activity :

-4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4

Ÿ At first the rabbit was at the number Ÿ It hopped units to the right
Ÿ It is now at the number
(-2) + (+5) = +3

Now I know -
To add a positive number to the given number, we move that many units to the
right on the number line from the given number.
Activity :

-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3

Ÿ At first the rabbit was at the number Ÿ It hopped units to the left
Ÿ It is now at the number (-3) + (-4) = -7

16
Activity :

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9

Ÿ At first the rabbit was at the number Ÿ He hopped units to the left
Ÿ It is now at the number
(+3) + (-4) = -1

Now I know -
To add a negative number to the given number, we move that many units to the
left on the number line from the given number, i.e., we move backward on the
number line which means we subtract.

Let’s discuss.

Let us understand the addition and subtraction of integers with the help of the amounts
of money we get and the amounts we spend
Dada : We shall show the amount we have or the amount we get as a positive number
and the amount we borrow or spend as a negative number
Anil : I have 5 rupees That is, I have the number +5 Mother gave me 3 rupees as a
gift That number is +3 Now I have 8 rupees in all
5 + 3 = (+5) + (+3) = +8
Dada : You know how to add positive numbers Now let us add negative numbers
Sunita, if I lend you 5 rupees to buy a pen, how will you show that?
Sunita : I will write the amount I have as negative five or -5
Dada : If I lend you another 3 rupees, what is your total debt?
Sunita : (-5) + (-3) = -8 That means I owe eight rupees
Dada : You have a debt of 8 rupees Mother gave you 2 rupees to buy sweets So you
got +2 rupees Now, if you repay 2 rupees of your debt, how much will you still
owe?
Sunita : ( -8) + (+2) = -6 So, I still owe 6 rupees
Dada : Anil, you have 8 rupees, or, +8 You spend 3 rupees to buy a pencil How many
rupees do you still have ?
Anil : ( +8) + (-3) = +5
17
Dada : We used the example of earning and spending to understand how to add integers
For example, (+5) + (+3) = +8 and (-5) + (-3) = -8
(-8) + (+2) = -6 and (+8) + (-3) = +5

Now I know -
Ÿ When adding integers with the same sign, ignore the signs and add the
numbers. Then give the common sign to their sum.
Ÿ When adding integers with different signs, ignore the signs and subtract the
smaller number from the bigger one. Then, give the sign of the bigger
number to the difference obtained.

Practice Set 5
1 Add 2 Complete the table given below
(1) 8 + 6
+ 8 4 -3 -5
(2) 9 + (-3)
(3) 5 + (-6) -2 -2 + 8 = +6
(4) -7 + 2 6
(5) -8 + 0 0
(6) -5 + (-2)
-4

Let’s learn.
Opposite Numbers

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5
When the rabbit jumps 3 units to its right from 0, it reaches the number +3
When it jumps 3 units to its left from 0, it reaches the number -3
Both these distances from zero are equal Only the directions of the two jumps are
opposite to each other In other words, +3 and -3 are opposite numbers
Opposite numbers are at the same distance from zero but in opposite directions.
If the rabbit jumps 5 units to the left from 0, where does it reach?
Now, if it jumps 5 units to the right from -5, where does it reach?
(-5) + (+5) = 0 and then (+5) + (-5) = ?
The sum of two opposite numbers is zero.

18
 Practice Set 6
- Write the opposite number of each of the numbers given below
Number 47 + 52 - 33 - 84 - 21 + 16 - 26 80
Opposite number

Let’s learn.
Comparing Integers
You know that if we add 1 to any number on the number line, you get the next number
on the right Note that this is true for negative numbers too
For example, -4 + 1 = -3
-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
-4 < -3 < -2 < -1 < 0 < 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5
Now let us compare positive numbers, zero and negative numbers
For example, 4 > -3 4 > 3 0 > -1 -2 > -3 -12 < 7

Now I know -
On the number line, every number is greater than the number on its immediate left by 1.

Practice Set 7

- Write the proper signs > , < or = in the boxes below

(1) -4 5 (2) 8 - 10 (3) + 9 + 9 (4) -6 0
(5) 7 4 (6) 3 0 (7) -7 7 (8) -12 5
(9) -2 -8 (10) -1 -2 (11) 6 -3 (12) -14 -14

Let’s learn.
Subtraction of Integers
Tai : Anil, suppose you have a debt of 8 rupees If you earn 5 rupees, you first pay off
5 rupees of your debt Thus your debt is reduced by the amount you earn The
5 rupees you earn reduce your debt by 5 rupees and are therefore subtracted from
your debt We write it like this : - (-5) = (+5)
So your debt is now less than before by 5 rupees, and only 3 rupees remain to be
paid back (-8) - (-5) = (-8) + 5 = -3
You already know that 8 + (-5) = 8 - 5 = 3

19
 With the help of the following examples, learn how to subtract negative numbers
(-9) - (-4) (-4) - (-9) (+9) - (+4) (+9) - (-4)
= (-9) + 4 = (-4) + 9 = (+9) + (-4) = (+9) + 4
= -9 + 4 = -4 + 9 = +9 - 4 = +9 + 4
= -5 = +5 = +5 = +13

Now I know -
To subtract a number from another number is to add its opposite number
to the other number. For example : 8 - (-6) = 8 + (+6)

Practice Set 8
- Subtract the numbers in the top row from the numbers in the first column and write
the proper number in each empty box
- 6 9 -4 -5 0 +7 -8 -3
3 3 - 6 = -3
8 8 - (-5) = 13

A Game of Integers
The board for playing this game is given on the back cover of the book Place your
counters before the number 1 Throw the dice Look at the number you get It is a
positive number Count that many boxes and move your counter forward If a problem is
given in that box, solve it If the answer is a positive number, move your counter that
many boxes further If it is negative, move back by that same number of boxes
Suppose we have reached the 18th box Then the answer to the problem in it is
-4 + 2 = -2 Now move your counter back by 2 boxes to 16 The one who reaches
100 first, is the winner

So, draw a horizontal
line to divide the strip into two equal parts

Ÿ Shade one of the two horizontal parts in a different way

3
When we divided the strip into 2 equal parts, we also divided the 5
part into 2 equal
parts To take one of those parts, consider the parts shaded twice
We have 10 equal boxes Of these, 3 boxes have been shaded twice
3
These boxes, i e , the part shaded twice can be written as the fraction 10

What is the peculiarity you see in all of them?
A fraction is multiplied by another fraction obtained by exchanging the numerator and
denominator of the first fraction Their product is 1 Each fraction of such a pair is called
the reciprocal or multiplicative inverse of the other
5 6
Example : The multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 6
is 5
4 1
The multiplicative inverse of 4, that is, of 1
is 4

Now I know -

When the product of two numbers is 1, each of the numbers is the multiplicative
inverse or reciprocal of the other.

Division of Fractions
Example : Here is one bhakari If each one is to be given a quarter of it, how many will
get a share?
1
A quarter means 4
As we can see in the picture, we can get 4 quarters
from one bhakari, so it will be enough for four
people
1
We can write this as 4 × 4 =1
Now, we shall convert the division of a fraction into a multiplication

= 4=1× 1
Example : There are 6 blocks of jaggery, each of one kilogram If one family requires one
and a half kg jaggery every month, for how many families will these blocks
suffice?

Let us divide to see how many families can share the jaggery
3 6 3 6 2

 5 Decimal Fractions

Let’s recall.
Decimal Fractions : Addition and Subtraction

told him the prices A pen costs four and a half rupees, an eraser one and a half, a notebook
six and a half and a paintbox twenty-five rupees and fifty paise Nandu bought one of each

Let’s learn.

While solving problems with the units rupees-paise, metres-centimetres, we have used
fractions with up to two decimal places When solving problems with the units kilogram-gram,
kilometre-metre, litre-millilitre, we have to use fractions with up to three decimal places
Example : Reshma bought some vegetables They included three-quarter kilo potatoes,
one kilo onions, half a kilo cabbage and a quarter kilo tomatoes What is the
total weight of the vegetables in her bag?
We know : 1 kg = 1000 g, half kg = 500 g,
three-quarter kg = 750 g, quarter kg = 250 g

29
 Now to find out the total weight of the vegetables, let us add using both units, kilograms
and grams, in turn

Potatoes 750 g Potatoes 0 750 kg

Onions + 1000 g Onions + 1 000 kg
Cabbage + 500 g Cabbage + 0 500 kg
Tomatoes + 250 g Tomatoes + 0 250 kg
Total weight 2500 grams Total weight 2 500 kg
Note the similarity between the addition of
integers and the addition of decimal fractions

2500
Total weight of vegetables is 2500 g, that is kg, that is 2 500 kg
1000
We know that, 2 500 = 2 50 = 2 5
The weight of vegetables in Reshma’s bag is 2 5 kg

My friend, Maths : At the market, in the shop.

Take a pen and notebook with you when you go to the market with your parents Note
the weight of every vegetable your mother buys Find out the total weight of those vegetables

Converting a Common Fraction into a Decimal Fraction

You know that if the denominator of a common fraction is 10 or 100, it can be written
as a decimal fraction.
1 1 2
Can you recall how to convert the fractions 2 , 4, 5 into decimal fractions?
A fraction whose denominator is 1000 can also be written as a decimal fraction Let us
see how
If the denominator of a common fraction is 10, 100, 1000, then -
(1) If there are more digits in the numerator than zeros in the denominator, then count as
many digits from the right as the number of zeros, and place the decimal point before
those digits
723 51250 5138
Examples (1) 10
= 72 3 (2) 100 = 512 50 (3) 1000 = 5 138

31
(2) If there are as many digits in the numerator as zeros in the denominator, place the
decimal point before the number in the numerator and a zero in the integers’ place
7 54 725
Examples (1) 10 =07 (2) 100 = 0 54 (3) 1000 = 0 725
(3) If there are fewer digits in the numerator than the zeros in the denominator, place zeros
before the digits in the numerator to make the total number of digits equal to the
number of zeros in the denominator Place a decimal point before them and a zero in
the integers’ place
8 08 8 008
Examples (1) 100
= 100
= 0 08 (2) 1000 = 1000 = 0 008

264 4 19315
(1) 26 4 = 10
(2) 0 04 = (3) 19 315 = 1000

Now I know -
This is how we convert a decimal fraction into a common fraction. In the numerator,
we write the number we get by ignoring the decimal point. In the denominator, we
write 1 followed by as many zeros as there are decimal places in the given number.

There are some bold and some faint lines on
it The bold lines show a certain big unit
This unit is divided into smaller units which
are shown by the faint lines The grid formed
by these lines makes it easy to select a
suitable scale and draw columns of the
proper height
Near the lower edge of the paper, a
O X horizontal line is drawn as a base It is called
the X-axis A line perpendicular to the
X-axis is drawn on the left side of the paper
That is called the Y-axis
The items about which the

Drawing a Bar Graph

Let us take an example to see how the given data is shown as a bar graph
Example : Information about the plants in a nursery is given here Show it in a bar graph
Names of plants Mogara Jai Hibiscus Chrysanthemum
Number of plants 70 50 45 80
Take a graph paper
(1) In the centre, write the title ‘Types and number of plants’
(2) Draw the X and Y axes, and mark O, their point of intersection
(3) Write the names of the plants on the X-axis at equal distances
(4) The number of plants is divisible by 5 So, take the scale 0 5 cm = 5 plants, that is,
1cm = 10 plants on the Y-axis as it can be easily shown on the graph paper
(5) Write the scale in the top right hand corner
(6) Draw a bar of the appropriate height above the name of each plant on the X-axis

37
 Y Types and Number of Plants
Scale : On Y-axis
1cm = 10 pla ts

O Mogara Jai H biscus Chrysanthemum X

For the same example above, draw a graph taking a different scale on the Y-axis
(For example, 1 cm = 5 plants ) Compare it with the graph above

Now I know -
Ÿ Every bar in the graph should be of equal width
Ÿ The distance between any two adjacent bars should be equal
Ÿ All bars should be of appropriate height

Activity : Take a paper and fold it so that it gets divided into

two equal parts and unfold it Make a blob of
colour on one of the parts Fold the paper again
and press it a little Now, unfold it What do you
see? The shape obtained is symmetrical about the
line of the fold
Activity : Now take a paper and a length of thread Dip the
thread in colour Place it on one side of the paper
Fold the paper over it Keeping the folded paper
pressed down, pull out the thread by one of its
ends Unfold the paper You will see a picture
The shape on the other side of the line will be like
the one on the first The picture that is formed is said to be symmetrical

Highest Common Factor : HCF
Example : My aunt has brought two ribbons of different colours, one 12 metres long and the
other 18 metres Both the ribbons have to be cut into pieces of the same length
What should be the maximum length of each piece?

The number which gives the length of each piece must be a factor of 12 and of 18
Factors of 12 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 , 12
Factors of 18 : 1, 2, 3, 6 , 9, 18
Of the common factors of 12 and 18, 6 is the greatest Therefore, the maximum
length of each piece should be 6 metres
46
Example : There are 20 kg of jowar and 50 kg of wheat in a shop All the grain is to be
packed in bags If all the bags are to have equal weights of grain, what is the
maximum weight of grain that can be filled in each bag ?
The weight of the grain in each bag must be a factor of 20 and 50 Besides,
the maximum possible weight must be filled in each bag Hence, let us find the
HCF of 20 and 50
Factors of 20 : 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Factors of 50 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50
Common factors : 1, 2, 5, 10
Of the common factors of 20 and 50, 10 is the greatest, i e 10 is the HCF of
the numbers 20 and 50
Therefore, a maximum of 10 kg of grain can be filled in each bag

Now I know -
To find the HCF of given numbers, we make a list of the factors of the numbers
and find the greatest of the common factors.

Lowest Common Multiple : LCM
Write down the 3 times and 4 times tables Note that a table has the multiples of a
number arranged in serial order Which is the smallest number divisible by both 3 and 4?
We find the lowest common multiple or the LCM useful for certain purposes in daily life
Can you find the greatest common multiple of some given numbers? Think about it
Rehana and Anne are making garlands of flowers Both have to be given an equal
number of flowers in their baskets
Tai : Rehana, you make garlands of
6 flowers each Anne, you make
garlands of 8 flowers each What is
the minimum number of flowers I
should put in your baskets?
Rehana : I want flowers in multiples of 6
Anne : I want them in multiples of 8
Multiples of 6 are numbers that are
divisible by 6 and they are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78,
Multiples of 8 are numbers that are divisible by 8 and they are 8, 16, 24, 32,
40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104,
The common multiples are 24, 48, 72, 96,
Rehana : Tai, if you give each of us 24, 48, 72 or 96 flowers, we will both be able to
make the garlands as you want
Anne : You will have to give us at least 24 flowers
24 is the lowest common multiple or LCM of 6 and 8
Example : Find the LCM of 13 and 6.
13 times table : 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78 , 91, 104, 117, 130
6 times table : 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60
Here, we see no common multiples So, let us extend the tables
Further numbers divisible by 13 : 130, 143, 156,
Further numbers divisible by 6 : 60, 66, 72, 78 , 84,
Looking at the lists of numbers divisible by 13 and 6, we see that 78 is the
lowest common multiple Therefore, the LCM of 13 and 6 is 78

Now I know -
The LCM of two numbers cannot be bigger than their product.

 Think about it.

Example : Pravin, Bageshri and Yash are cousins who live in the same house Pravin is an
Army Officer Bageshri is studying in a Medical College in another city Yash
lives in a nearby town in a hostel Pravin can come home every 120 days
Bageshri comes home every 45 days and Yash, every 30 days All three of them
left home at the same time on the 15th of June 2016 Their parents said, ‘‘We
shall celebrate like a festival the day you all come home together ’’ Mother asked
Yash, ‘‘What day will that be?’’
Yash said, ‘‘The number of days after which we come back together must be
divisible by 30, 45 and 120 That means we shall be back together on the 10th
of June next year That will certainly be a festival for us!’’
How did Yash find the answer?

Now I know -

To find the LCM of the given numbers, we write down the multiples of each of the
given numbers and find the lowest of their common multiples.

 PART TWO
10 Equations

Let’s discuss.

Teacher : Find two numbers and a mathematical operation to get the answer 15
Sharvari : 5 × 3 gives 15 and 45 divided by 3 also gives 15
Shubhankar : 17 - 2 gives 15 And 5 added to 10 also gives 15
Teacher : Very good! We see that the operations 5 × 3 and 17 - 2 both give the
same result We write this as 5 × 3 = 17 - 2 In mathematics, the sign of
equality (=) shows that the numbers on both its sides are equal They may
be the result of different operations on the left and right hand sides Such
an expression of equality is called an equation
Sharvari : Can we also write the equation 17 - 2 = 5 × 3?
Teacher : Yes, that equation is right, too If you write a new equation simply by
exchanging the two sides of an equation, then the new equation is also
correct, that is, balanced

Let’s learn.

Left hand side Right hand side

If there are equal weights in both pans of a weighing scale, then the scale is balanced.
Such a balanced scale is like an equation.

The Solution of an Equation

190 m
300 m

In the picture above, the distance between the house and the school is seen to be
300 m On the same straight road, there is a shop between the school and the house The
distance between the shop and the house is 190 m What is the distance between the school
and the shop?
Use of a Letter for a Number
School Shop House
Ÿ Ÿ
xm 190 m
Teacher : See how the given information is shown in the picture above
Sujata : Sir, why is the distance from the shop to the school shown as x?
Teacher : Instead of writing the number, we suppose that the distance is x That is the
distance we have to find out Till we do so, we write it as x
Samir : Then the sum of x and 190 should be 300
Teacher : That’s right! Let’s write this in the form of an equation Remember that x is
a number but we do not know its value as yet
x + 190 = 300 What is the value of x here?
Shabana tried out various numbers for x
First she supposed x was equal to 70 The left hand side became 70 + 190 = 260
That was less than the right hand side Then she took 150 for x and the left hand side
became 340 This was greater than the right hand side Finally, she chose 110 for the value
of x That made the left hand side the same as the right hand side and the equation was
balanced It meant that the value of x or the distance between the shop and the school
was 110 metres
In an equation, a letter is sometimes used in place of a number A value for the letter
has to be found that will make the equation balanced Such a letter is called a ‘variable’.
The value of the variable which balances or satisfies the equation is called the
‘solution’ to the equation. To solve an equation is to find the value of the variable in
the equation or to find the solution to the equation.
In the example above, the solution to the equation ‘x + 190 = 300’ is 110

52
 Let’s learn.
Solving an Equation
Teacher : How can we find the weight of a
guava in terms of bors ?
John : If we remove 3 bors from each
of the pans, they remain balanced,
and then we can see that one
guava weighs 4 bors

Teacher : Excellent! You found the right operation When solving an equation with one
variable, we carry out the same operations on both sides of the equation to
obtain simpler balanced equations, because, if the first equation is balanced then
the new one obtained in this way is also balanced The equations become simpler
and simpler and finally we get the value of the variable, that is, the solution to
the equation
x+3=7
∴ x+3-3=7-3 (Subtracting 3 from both sides)
∴ x+0=4
∴ x=4
Let us take a second look at the previous equation
x + 190 = 300
∴ x + 190 - 190 = 300 - 190 (Subtracting 190 from both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 110
∴ x = 110
While solving an equation, we can use this simple and unerring way rather than examining
several random solutions
Let us solve some examples using equations
Example : Four years ago, Diljit was 8 years old How old is he today?
Let us suppose he is a years old today
Now, let’s write the given information using a
a-4=8
∴a-4+4=8+4 (Adding 4 to both sides)
∴ a + 0 = 12
∴ a = 12
∴ Diljit is 12 years old today

53
Example : Jasmine has some money Mother gave her 7 rupees Jasmine now has 10
rupees How much did she have to start with?
Let us suppose Jasmine had y rupees
∴ y + 7 = 10
∴ y + 7 - 7 = 10 - 7 (Subtracting 7 from both sides)
∴ y+0=3
∴ y=3
It means that Jasmine had 3 rupees to start with
Example : There are some pedhas in a box If some children
are given 2 pedhas each, the pedhas would be
enough for 20 children How many pedhas are
there in the box?
Let the total number of pedhas be p
p
= 20
2
p
∴ × 2 = 20 × 2 (Multiplying both sides by 2)
2
p = 40
Therefore, there are 40 pedhas in the box
Example : 5 chocolates cost 25 rupees
How much does one cost?
If one chocolate costs k rupees,
5k = 25 ` 25
5k 25
∴ 5
= (Dividing both sides by 5)
5
∴ 1k = 5
∴ k =5
Therefore, one chocolate costs 5 rupees

Now I know -

If the same operation is carried out on both sides of an equation every time, the
equation remains balanced. When any of the following operations are carried out on
an equation, the equation remains balanced.
Ÿ Adding the same number to both the sides Ÿ Exchanging the two sides
Ÿ Subtracting the same number from both the sides
Ÿ Multiplying both the sides by the same number
Ÿ Dividing both the sides by the same non-zero number

by 6 years.
Let’s say Nilima is 12 years old and
Ramesh is 6 How to compare their
ages?
Ramesh did so by finding out the
difference
Nilima did it by saying how many
times she is as old as Ramesh
Let’s learn.
Nilima’s age is twice as much as Ramesh’s We can give the same information by saying
that Nilima’s and Ramesh’s ages are in the proportion 2:1 It is read as ‘Two is to one’
In mathematics, the proportion of two numbers can also be expressed as their ratio The
2
proportion 2:1 is written as 1 in the form of a ratio
Examples of Proportion in Daily Life
Example : Jankiamma’s idlis and dosas are delicious For
idlis, she uses udad dal and rice in the proportion
1 cup dal to 2 cups of rice But for dosas, the
proportion is 1 cup dal to 3 cups of rice That is,
for idlis the proportion of dal and rice is 1:2 or the
1
ratio is 2
whereas for dosas, the proportion is
1
1:3 or the ratio is 3

Example : Margaret makes great biscuits She uses 3 cups of

wheat flour with 2 cups of sugar It means that the
proportion of sugar and flour in the biscuits is 2:3
2
or that the ratio is 3

Fill in the empty boxes
Girls 3 5 1
Flowers 12 32

Number of flowers 12 4

The proportion of girls and flowers is ‘One is to every four’ It is written as

200 g Find the ratio of the weight of the lump of jaggery to that of the block
Weight of the lump 200
Weight of the block = 1
Is this right?
Is the weight of the lump 200 times that of the block?
What mistake have we made?
First we must measure both quantities in the same units
It would be convenient to use grams here
1kg = 1000 grams
∴ The block weighs 1000 g and the lump, 200 g
Weight of the lump 200 2 × 100 2 1× 2 1
Weight of the block = 1000
= 10 × 100
= 10
= 5× 2
= 5
1
Thus, the ratio of the weight of the lump of jaggery to that of the block is 5

Now I know -
When finding the ratio of two quantities of the same kind,
their measures must be in the same units.
A ratio can be used to write an equation Then it is easier to solve the problem
Example : A hostel is to be built for schoolgoing girls Two toilets are to be built for every
15 girls If 75 girls will be living in the hostel, how many toilets will be required
in this proportion?
Let us consider the proportion or ratio of toilets and girls Let us suppose x
toilets will be needed for 75 girls The ratio of the number of toilets to the
2
number of girls is
15
. Let us write this in two ways and form an equation
x 2
∴ =
75 15
x 2
∴ × 75 = 15
× 75 (Multiplying both sides by 75)
75
∴ x = 2×5
= 10
∴ 10 toilets will be required for 75 girls

 Example : A bunch of 15 bananas costs 45 rupees
How much will 8 bananas cost?
Cost of 15 bananas, 45 rupees
∴ Cost of 1 banana = 45 ÷ 15 = 3 rupees
Therefore, the cost of 8 bananas is 8 × 3 = 24 rupees

Example : If a bunch of 10 flowers costs 25 rupees, how much will 4 flowers cost?
Cost of 10 flowers, 25 rupees

 12 Percentage

Let’s discuss.

Use water carefully.

Water in the dam 58% of the capacity

58%

Raju : Dada, I can see this sign % after 58 in the picture above And it’s there also after
43 in the other picture What does it show?
Dada : That is the sign for percentage The word cent means hundred We read 58% as
‘58 percent’
Raju : Then, what does percentage mean?
Dada : In the first picture, there is 58% water in the dam It means that if the dam holds
100 units of water when full, then right now it is holding 58 of the same units of
water If the mobile phone has 100 units of charge when it is fully charged, then
at this moment 43 units of charge are still left A percentage is a comparison made
with a total which is taken to be 100 parts
Raju : If there is 50% water in the dam, can we say that the dam is half full?
Dada : Yes, 50% is 50 parts of water out of 100, and half of 100 is 50
58
58% is 58 units out of 100 units We can write this as the fraction
100
58
It means that parts out of the full capacity of the dam are filled with water
100

(1) Percentage in the Form of a Fraction

50 1
50% means 50 parts of a total of 100 So, 50 out of 100 or = part
100 2
In other words, 50% is half of the whole
61
 25 1
25% means 25 parts out of 100. And = part of the whole (or total)
100 4
35 7
35% means 35 parts out of 100 And 100
= 20 part of the whole

(2) A Fraction in the Form of a Percentage

3 3 × 25 75 3 75
= = part of the total is or 75%
4 4 × 25 100 4 100

2 2 × 20 40 2 40
5
= 5 × 20
= 100 5
part of the total is 100
or 40%

Now I know -
Equivalent fractions can be used to make the denominator 100.

Example : Last year Giripremi group planted 75 trees Of these, 48 trees flourished The
Karmavir group planted 50 trees, of which, 35 flourished Which group was
more successful in conserving the trees they had planted?
The number of trees each group started with is different Hence, we have to
compare the surviving trees in each group to the number of trees planted by
them For this comparison, it would be useful to find out for each group, the
percentage of their trees that survived To do that, let us find the ratio of the
number of surviving trees to the total trees planted
Suppose the surviving trees of the the Giripremi group are A%
Suppose the surviving trees of the the Karmavir group are B%
A
The Giripremi’s ratio of the surviving trees to planted trees is and also
100
48 A 48
Therefore, = In the same way, we can also find the ratio of
75 100 75
surviving trees to planted trees for the Karmavir group
Let us write the same ratio in two forms, obtain equations and solve them
A 48 B 35
= 100
= 50
100 75

A 48 B 35
100
× 100 = 75
× 100 100
× 100 = 50

A = 64 B = 70
∴ The Karmavir group was more successful in conserving the trees they had planted

Example : In Khatav taluka, it was decided to make 200 ponds in Warudgaon and 300
ponds in Jakhangaon Of these, 120 ponds in Warudgaon were completed at
the end of May, while in Jakhangaon work was complete on 165 ponds In
which village was a greater proportion of the work completed?
To find the answer, we shall find the percentage of work completed in each
village and then make a comparison
Let the number of ponds completed in Warudgaon be A% and in Jakhangaon,
B% We shall find the ratio of the number of ponds completed to the number
of ponds planned in each case We then write those ratios in two forms, obtain
equations and solve them
A 120 B 165
= 200 100
= 300
100
A 120 B 165
× 100 = 200
× 100 100
× 100 = 300
× 100
100
A = 60 B = 55
∴ A greater proportion of the work was completed in Warudgaon

Profit and Loss
People do various kinds of jobs to earn money Shopkeepers sell articles that people
need They buy things from wholesale traders in large quantities at lower rates It costs
less than the printed price When they sell things in retail, i e , in smaller quantities, they
charge a greater amount If the selling price is more than the amount paid for it, there is
a gain It is called a profit Sometimes, an article is sold for less than the amount paid for
it while buying The damage, in that case, is called a loss

Now I know -
If the selling price is less than the If the selling price is more than the
cost price, there is a loss. cost price, there is a profit.
Loss = Cost price - Selling price Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Example : Hamidbhai bought bananas worth Example : Harbhajan Singh bought 500 kg
2000 rupees and sold them all for of rice for 22000 rupees and
1890 rupees Did he make a profit sold it all at the rate of ` 48
or a loss? How much was it? per kg How much profit did he
He bought bananas for ` 2000 make?
Hence, The cost price of 500 kg rice
Cost price = ` 2000 is ` 22000
Selling price = ` 1890 Selling price of 500 kg of rice is
Cost price is greater than selling = 500 × 48 = ` 24000
price Therefore, Hamidbhai Selling price is greater than cost price
suffered a loss Therefore, there is a profit
Loss = Cost price - Selling price Profit = Selling price - Cost price
= 2000 - 1890 = 24000 - 22000
= ` 110 = ` 2000
∴ Hamidbhai suffered a loss of
∴ In this transaction, Harbhajan Singh

So, profit was ` 1000 transport?
Ÿ How much money was actually spent before
the diyas could be sold?
Ÿ How much actual profit was made in this project of colouring diyas and selling them?
Besides purchases, money has to be spent on things like transport, porterage,
octroi, etc
When this expenditure is added to the basic purchase, we get the total cost price

Let’s learn.
In trading, all expenses incurred on an article before it can be sold have to be added
to the cost price of the article. That is called the total cost price of the article.

Think about it.

A farmer sells what he grows in his fields. How is the total cost price calculated?
What does a farmer spend on his produce before he can sell it? What are the other
expenses besides seeds, fertilizers and transport?
Example : Sambhajirao bought a machine from a factory for ` 80000 He paid the octroi
tax of ` 1600 and spent ` 800 on transport besides ` 300 on porterage He sold
the machine for one lakh rupees How much was his profit?
Total expenses while buying the machine
= Cost of machine + Octroi + Transport + Porterage
= 80000 + 1600 + 800 + 300
= ` 82700
That is, total cost price is ` 82700
Profit = Selling price - Total cost price
= 100000 - 82700
= ` 17300
Sambhajirao made a profit of ` 17300 in this transaction
Example : Javedbhai bought 35 electric mixers for ` 4300 each To transport them to the
shop, he spent ` 2100 If he expects to make a profit of ` 21000, at what price
should he sell each mixer?
Cost price of one mixer ` 4300
Hence cost price of 35 mixers = 4300 × 35 = ` 150500

68
 Total cost price = cost of mixers + cost of transport
= 150500 + 2100
= ` 152600
4960
Javedbhai wants a profit of 21000 rupees 35) 173600
∴ Hence, amount expected on selling – 140
= 152600 + 21000 0336
= ` 173600 – 315
Selling price of 35 mixers = ` 173600 00210
∴ Selling price of one mixer = 173600 ÷ 35
–
210
= ` 4960 00000
Javedbhai should sell every mixer for ` 4960 – 0

Let’s learn.
Profit Percent, Loss Percent
When determining the percentage of profit or loss, it is compared with the cost price
When we say that the profit or the loss was 10%, we mean that the profit or the loss is
10 rupees if the total cost price is taken to be 100 rupees
69
Example : Abbas bought vegetables worth ` 400 and sold them for ` 650 Balbir bought

Total cost price = cost of + transport Profit = Selling price - total cost
vegetables charges price
= 800 + 40 = 966 - 840
= ` 840 = ` 126

Total cost price of machine
Total selling price of all chairs,

 Let’s learn.
Bank Accounts
To use banking services one has to open but one does not get any interest on the
an account in a bank We need the following amount in this account
documents or papers to open a new bank To get more interest, we have to keep
account a fixed amount in a bank for a longer period
(1) Proof of residence : Ration card, electricity of time We can avail of facilities like the
bill, telephone bill, domicile certificate, Fixed Deposit (FD) or Recurring Deposit
identity card, etc (RD) schemes for that purpose
(2) Proof of identity : Aadhaar card, voter’s Calculation of Interest
identity card, PAN card, passport or any Account holders of a bank are paid
other proof suggested by the bank, some amounts for keeping their money in
besides a reference from another customer the bank On the other hand, people who
who is an account holder borrow from a bank are charged an amount
A savings account is meant to induce a for the use of the money loaned to them
habit of saving money An account holder Such amounts are called interest The
can deposit money in the savings account as money deposited in the bank or the money
and when money is available He/She may lent by a bank to a borrower is called
also withdraw/take out some money from the principal
that account occasionally if needed When calculating interest on a deposit
Banks give an interest of 4% to 6% on or a loan, the rate of interest is given for
the money in the savings account The every 100 rupees That rate of interest is
customer gets facilities like a pass-book, for a given period of time A rate of interest
cheque book, ATM card, mobile banking, ‘per cent per annum’, written as p.c.p.a.,
sms banking, Internet banking, etc to operate gives the amount of interest due on every
the account hundred rupees for a period of one year,
We have to fill in certain printed slips to that is, annually
deposit money in an account or to withdraw Simple Interest
it Every bank has its own different forms, In this class, we shall learn only about
but the information to be given in it is the interest charged for one year This is
the same simple interest The interest charged for
There is another kind of bank account longer periods of time can often be quite
called a current account Money can be complicated That rate is different from
withdrawn from it any number of times, simple interest

75
Example 1 : Vinita deposited ` 15000 in a bank for one year at an interest rate of
7 p c p a How much interest will she get at the end of the year?
In this example, the principal is ` 15000, period is 1 year, and rate of interest
is 7 p c p a If principal increases, interest increases That is, interest increases
in proportion to the principal
Let us suppose that the interest on the principal of ` 15000 is x
On principal ` 100, the interest is ` 7
We shall take the ratio of interest to principal, write it in two forms and
obtain an equation
x 7
=
15000 100
x 7
15000 × 15000 = 100
× 15000 (Multiplying both sides by 15000)
x = 1050
Vinita will get an interest of ` 1050
Example 2 : Vilasrao borrowed ` 20000 from a bank at a rate of 8 p c p a What is the
amount he will return to the bank at the end of the year?
In this example, the principal is ` 20000 Rate is 8 p c p a , that is, ` 8 is the
interest on principal ` 100 for 1 year
Interest increases in proportion to the principal, that is, ratio of interest to
principal remains constant Let us write the ratio of interest to principal in
two ways and obtain an equation
Let interest on principal 20000 rupees be x rupees.
Interest on principal 100 rupees is 8 rupees
x 8
20000 = 100
x 8
20000 × 20000 = 100 × 20000 (Multiplying both sides by 20000)
x = 1600
Amount to be returned to the bank = principal + interest = 20000 + 1600 = ` 21600
Practice Set 35
(1) At a rate of 10 p c p a , what would be the interest for one year on ` 6000?
(2) Mahesh deposited ` 8650 in a bank at a rate of 6 p c p a How much money will he
get at the end of the year in all?
(3) Ahmed Chacha borrowed ` 25000 at 12 p c p a for a year What amount will he have
to return to the bank at the end of the year?
(4) Kisanrao wanted to make a pond in his field He borrowed ` 35250 from a bank at an
interest rate of 6 p c p a How much interest will he have to pay to the bank at the
end of the year? ÒÒÒ

Let’s learn.
A triangle is a closed figure made by joining three non-collinear points by line segments.
The vertices, sides and angles of a triangle are called the parts of the triangle.
Types of Triangles - Based on Sides

 In the table above, the lengths of all sides of ∆ABC are equal Therefore, this triangle
is an equilateral triangle ‘Lateral’ refers to the sides of a figure
A triangle with all three sides equal is called an equilateral triangle.
In ∆PQR, the length of the two sides PQ and PR are equal ∆PQR is called an
isosceles triangle
A triangle with two equal sides is called an isosceles triangle.
The lengths of the sides of ∆XYZ are all different Such a triangle is called a scalene

Carl Gauss’s Clever Trick

This is a story from the childhood of the great mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss
The boys in Carl’s class were making a lot of noise To keep them occupied, their
teacher set them the task of adding up all the numbers from 1 to 100 Carl completed
the task in two or three minutes and sat quietly with arms crossed Other children, for
fear of the teacher, kept on with their calculations
‘Don’t be idle! Do what I told you,’ shouted the teacher angrily
Carl showed the teacher his addition The teacher was astonished to see that he had
the correct answer
How had Carl carried out the addition ?
1 2 3 99 100 (Hundred numbers)
+
100 99 98 2 1 (Hundred numbers)
101 + 101 + 101 + + 101 + 101 (Hundred times)
That would be 101 × 100
But this is the sum of numbers from 1 to 100, taken twice
Therefore, the sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100 would be
101× 100 = 101 × 50 = 5050

You could try using Carl’s method to find the sum of numbers from 1 to 50

shown in the picture What is the shape of this pile?
If you place a number of CD’s or round biscuits one on top
of the other, what shape do you get?

Try this.
Pyramids
A Activity : A net is shown here It has identical
triangular sides Draw a figure like this on
a card-sheet and cut it out Fold along the
dotted lines of the square and bring the
B D sides together so that the vertices A, B, C
and D meet at a point
You will get a shape like the one shown
below Its base is a square and its other
C standing faces are triangles
This shape is called a pyramid The top
or apex of this shape is pointed like a needle vertex
As the base of this shape is a quadrilateral, it
is called a quadrangular pyramid Count the edge
edges, vertices and faces of this shape
face
A quadrangular pyramid has 5 faces, 8 edges
and 5 vertices Quadrangular Pyramid
Activity : Draw the net shown alongside on
a card-sheet and cut it out Fold
along the dotted lines of the triangle A B
in the centre and bring together the
triangles on the sides so that the
vertices A, B and C meet at a point
You will get a pyramid The base
of this pyramid is a triangle Hence,
it is called a triangular pyramid C
Count and write the number of its Triangular Pyramid
edges, vertices and faces
95
 Now I know -

The top and the bottom faces of a prism are identical. The other faces of triangular,
quadrangular, etc. prisms are rectangular.
The standing faces of a pyramid are triangular.
The name of a prism or a pyramid depends upon the shape of its base.
Cones
You are familiar with examples of cones
You can see two of them in the pictures below

This cone has been This is a clown’s cap

closed after filling it with The circular base of
ice-cream Its circular top this cap is not closed
is closed

Apex
The tip of the cone is called its apex
A cone that is closed by a flat disc has one
curved face, one circular flat face and one Curved face
circular edge
An open cone has a curved face and a Circular flat face
circular edge, but no flat face
Circular edge

Try this.

l Using a compass, l Draw two radii l Cut out the circle l Bring together
draw a circle of the circle, l Cut along the the sides
with centre C CR and CS radii and obtain two CR and CS
on a paper pieces of the circle of each piece

On completing the activity, what shapes did you get?

 Spheres
The shape of a laddoo, a ball,
a shot put is called a sphere
The sphere has just one curved face
It does not have any vertices or edges
