EXERCISE 1.2

Q.1 A book exhibition was held for four days in a school. The number of tickets sold at the
counter

on the first, second, third and final day was respectively 1094, 1812, 2050 and 2751. Find the total

number of tickets sold on all the four days.

Sol. Number of tickets sold on the first day = 1094,

the second day = 1812, the third day = 200, the fourth day = 2751

\ Total number of tickets sold on all the four days = 1094 + 1812 + 2050 + 2751 = 7707.

Q.2 Shekhar is a famous cricket player. He has so far scored 6980 runs in test matches. He wishes
to

complete 10,000 runs. How many more runs does he need?

Sol. Number of runs scored by Shekhar so far = 6,980

Target of runs to be scored = 10,000

\ Number of runs needed more = 10,000 – 6,980 = 3,020

Q.3 In an election, the successful candidate registered 5,77,500 votes and his nearest rival
secured

3,48,700 votes. By what margin did the successful candidate win the election?

Sol. Number of votes secured by the successful candidate = 5,77,500

Number of votes secured by his rival = 3,48,700

\ Margin of votes = 5,77,500 – 3,48,700 = 2,28,800

Q.4 Kirti bookstore sold books worth ` 2,85,891 in the first week of June and books worth ` 4,00,768

in the second week of the month. How much was the sale for the two weeks together? In which

week was the sale greater and by how much?

Sol. Sale of books in

1st week = ` 2,85,891

2nd week = ` 4,00,768

 Total sale for the two weeks together = ` 2,85,891 + ` 4,00,768 = ` 6,86,659.

Obviously, the sale was greater in the second week by ` 4,00,768 – ` 2,85,891 i.e. by `
1,14,877.

Q.5 Find the difference between the greatest and the least number that can be written using the

digits 6, 2, 7, 4, 3 each only once.

Sol. Given digits are 6, 2, 7, 4 and 3.

Greatest number made by using these digits = 76,432

Smallest number made by using these digits = 23,467

\ Difference = Greatest number – Smallest number = 76,432 – 23,467 = 52,965

Q.6 A machine, on an average, manufactures 2,825 screws a day. How many screws did it
produce in

the month of January 2006?

Sol. Number of days in January 2006 = 31;

Number of screws manufactured in one day = 2,825

Number of screws manufactured in 31 days = 31 × 2,825 = 87,575

Number of screws manufactured in the month of January 2006 = 87,575.

Q.7 A merchant had ` 78,592 with her. She placed an order for purchasing 40 radio sets at ` 1200

each. How much money will remain with her after the purchase?

Sol. Number of radio sets to be purchased = 40; Cost of radio set = ` 1200

\ Cost of 40 radio set = 40 × ` 1200 = ` 48,000

\ Total money with the merchant = ` 78,592

\ Money left with the merchant after the purchase of 40 radio sets

= ` 78,592 – ` 48,000 = ` 30,592

Q.8 A student multiplied 7236 by 65 instead of multiplying by 56. By how much was his answer

greater than the correct answer?

Sol. The required multiplication = 7236 × 56

The multiplication done by the student = 7236 × 65

\ Difference = (7236 × 65) – (7236 × 56) = 7236 (65 – 56) = 7236 × 9 = 65124

Thus, his answer is 65124 more than the correct answer.

Q.9 To stitch a shirt, 2 m 15 cm cloth is needed. Out of 40 m cloth, how many shirts can be
stitched
and how much cloth will remain?

Sol. Cloth required to stitch 1 shirt = 2 m 15 cm = 200 cm + 15 cm = 215 cm. [ 1 m = 100 cm]

Total cloth required = 40 m = 40 × 100 cm = 4000 cm.

Since, and 130 cm = 1 m 30 cm

Thus, 18 shirts can be stitched and cloth left over is 1m 30 cm.

Q.10 Medicine is packed in boxes, each weighing 4 kg 500 g. How many such boxes can be loaded
in a

van which cannot carry beyond 800 kg?

Sol. Weight of 1 box = 4 kg 500 g = 4000 g + 500 g [ 1 kg = 1000 g]

= 4500 g

Maximum weight which can be loaded = 800 kg = 800 × 1000 g = 800000 g.

Since, 800000 = 4500 × 177 + 3500

177 boxes can be loaded in the van.

Q.11 The distance between the school and the house of a student’s house is 1 km 875 m.

Everyday she walks both ways. Find the total distance covered by her in six days.

Sol. Distance between school and house = 1 km 875 m = 1000 m + 875 m [ 1 km = 1000 m]
= 1875 m

\ Distance covered by the student both ways between the school and house
in one day

= 2 × 1875 m = 3750 m

Thus, distance covered in 6 days = 6 × 3750 m = 22500 m = 22 km 500 m

Q.12 A vessel has 4 litres and 500 ml of curd. In how many glasses, each of 25 ml capacity, can it be

filled?

Sol. Since, 4 litres 500 ml = (4 × 1000) ml + 500 ml [ 1 l = 1000 ml]

= 4000 ml + 500 ml = 4500 ml

Capacity of 1 glass = 25 ml

4500 = 25 × 180

Thus, 180 glasses can be filled.

EXERCISE 1.3

Q.1 Estimate each of the following using general rule:

(a) 730 + 998 (b) 796 – 314 (c) 12,904 + 2,888 (d) 28,292 –
21,496

Make ten more such examples of addition, subtraction and estimation of their outcome.

Sol. (a) 730 + 998

730 rounds off to 700 [Rounding off to hundreds]

998 rounds off to 1000 [Rounding off to hundreds]

Estimated sum = 700 + 1,000 = 1,700

(b) 796 – 314

796 rounds off to 800 [Rounding off to hundreds]

314 rounds off to 300 [Rounding off to hundreds]

Estimated difference = 800 – 300 = 500

(c) 12,904 + 2,888

12904 rounds off to 13000 [Rounding off to hundreds]

2888 rounds off to 3000 [Rounding off to thousands]

Estimated sum = 13,000 + 3,000 = 16,000

(d) 28,292 – 21,496

28292 rounds off to 28000 [Rounding off to hundreds]

21496 rounds off to 21000 [Rounding off to hundreds]

Q.2 Give a rough estimate (by rounding off to nearest hundreds) and also a closer estimate

(by rounding off to nearest tens):

(a) 439 + 334 + 4,317 (b) 1,08,734 – 47,599 (c) 8325 – 491 (d)
4,89,348 – 48,365

Sol. (a) 439 + 334 + 4,317

Since

439 → 400

334 → 300

4317 → 4300

[Rounding off to hundreds]

\ Rough estimate = 439 + 334 + 4,317 = 5,000

Again,

439 → 440

334 → 330

4317 → 4320

[Rounding off to tens]

\ Closer estimate = 440 + 330 + 4,320 = 5,090

(b) 1,08,734 – 47,599

Since

108734 → 108700
47599 → 47600 [Rounding off to hundreds]

\ Rough estimate = 1,08,700 – 47,600 = 61,100

Again,

1,08,734 → 1,08,700

47,599 → 47,600 [Rounding off to tens]

\ Closer estimate = 1,08,730 – 47,600 = 61,130

(c) 8325 – 491

Since,

8325 → 8300

491 → 500 [Rounding off to hundreds]

\ Rough estimate = 8,300 – 500 = 7,800

Again,

8325 → 8330

491 → 490 [Rounding off to tens]

\ Closer estimate = 8,330 – 490 = 7,840

(d) 4,89,348 – 48,365

Since

489348 → 489300

48365 → 48400 [Rounding off to hundreds]

\ Rough estimate = 4,89,300 – 48,400 = 4,40,900

Again,

489348 → 489350

48365 → 48370 [Rounding off to tens]

\ Closer estimate = 4,89,350 – 48,370 = 4,40,980

Q.3 Estimate the following products using general rule:

(a) 578 × 161 (b) 5281 × 3491 (c) 1291 × 592 (d) 9250 × 29

Sol. (a) 578 × 161

578 → 600 [Rounding off to hundreds]

161 → 200 [Rounding off to hundreds]

\ Estimated product = 600 × 200 = 1,20,000

 (b) 5281 × 3491

5281 → 5000 [Rounding off to thousands]

3491 → 3500 [Rounding off to hundreds]

\ Estimated product = 5,000 × 3,500 = 1,75,00,000

(c) 1291 × 592

1291→1300 [Rounding off to hundreds]

592 → 600 [Rounding off to hundreds]

\ Estimated product = 1,300 × 600 = 7,80,000

(d) 9250 × 29

9250 → 9300 [Rounding off to hundreds]

29 → 30 [Rounding off to tens]

\ Estimated product = 9,300 × 30 = 2,79,000
