Q23 dividend = pq + r 1
1220 = 13 × 93 + 11
Quotient = 93 0.5
Remainder = 11 0.5
Q24 Given, 2

Length = 3x2y m

Breadth = 5xy2 m

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth 0.5

= (3x2y × 5xy2) = (3 × 5) × x2y × xy2 = 15x3y3 m2 1.5

Q25 (−5)2 × (−5)−3= (−5)2+(−3) 1 2

1
= (−5)−1 = − 5 1

OR
(i) 0.00000000837 in standard form is equal to 8.37 x 10-9 1
(ii) 837 in standard form is equal to 8.37 x 102 1

Q26 Given: length of lawnmower = 1m = 100cm 0.5

Its circumference = π × D = 22/7 × 84 = 264 cm 0.5

3
Length of field will be = 264 × 750 = 198000 cm 1

Here, the width of field = length of the lawnmower i.e. 100 cm 0.5

So, area of field = 198000 × 100 = 19,800,000 cm² 0.5

Or, 1980 m²

Q27 Solution: 1
We know that
V+F–E=2
⇒ 10 + 18 – E = 2
⇒ 28 – E = 2
⇒ E = 28 – 2 = 26
Hence, the required value of E = 26

Q28 Solution: 1
We have 8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 23
8-4 = (23)-4 = 23×(-4) = 2-12

Q29 (a + 6)2 = a2 + 12a + 36 1

Here, LHS = (a + 6)2 = a2 + 12a + 36
Now, RHS = a2 + 12a + 36
Hence, LHS = RHS.
Q30 Solution: 2
(a) xy(z2 + 1) + z(x2 + y2)
= xyz2 + xy + 2x2 + zy2 0.5
= (xyz2 + zx2) + (xy + zy2)
= zx(yz + x) + y(x + yz) 1
= zx(x + yz) + y(x + yz)
= (x + yz) (zx + y) 0.5

Q31 From the pattern, we observe that there are as many eights in the result as the first 2
digit from the right which is to be multiplied by 9 and reduced by 1. 1
87654321 × 9 – 1 = 788888888 1

Q32 Solution: 3
(a) The sales in (i) 2002 were Rs. 4 crores and (ii) 2006 was Rs. 8 crores 1
(b) The sales in (i) 2003 was Rs. 7 crores and (ii) 2005 was Rs.10 crores. 1
(c) The difference of sales in 2002 and 2006 = Rs. 8 crores – Rs. 4 crores = Rs. 4
crores 1
