 Preface
This book is one from the series New Perfect Composite Mathematics and is based on the syllabus
developed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi.
The subject matter is produced in such a way that it relates to the environment and focuses on the
development and understanding of the students. It also aims to improve their thinking and reasoning
skills. All books in this series are activity based and are written in a simple language.
The subject matter has been presented in graded form. The age, the learning ability and the
mathematical difficulties faced by the students at all levels have been kept in mind while presenting
difficult concepts.

KS
The syllabus includes the four fundamental operations, namely, addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division. These operations have been dealt in a step-by-step approach to enable students understand
exactly what is to be done. The traditional and stereotype questions have been avoided.

Salient Features of this book are:

• The book covers the entire prescribed syllabus.

39 has been included.

O
• Number system up to 6 digits has been explained. Reading and Writing of Roman Numerals up to

• L attice and standard multiplication algorithm has been given.

• Formation of mathematical stories or word problems has been taught.
BO
• Paper folding method has been explained in geometry.
• Shapes have been created by using Tangrams.
•U  se of tiling the floors has been explained with examples.
•M  aking of 4-faced and 6-faced cubes from given nets have also been included.
• Dot papers have been used to draw nets of cubes and cuboids.
• Drawing the plan, elevation and side view of simple objects has been explained in a systematic
way.
• Method of finding area by using square paper has been used.
• L ab Activities have been included to make the subject interesting for the students.
C

• Challenging problems under the heading “Challenge” have also been included.
• Four model papers, two term-wise papers and one final examination paper covering the entire
syllabus have been given for practice.
AP

• A few high level questions have been given under the head “Put on Your Thinking Cap”.
• The questions in the chapter “Let us Get Ready for Examination” are given to enable the students to
revise the syllabus before the final examination.
The books of the series will surely prove to be useful for the students.
I would like to thank Mrs. Sunita Jai Singh and Mrs. Shuchi Goyal for their valuable suggestions which
helped me in bringing the series in the present form.
Last but not the least, I am thankful to the publishers who have taken great pains in making the
books reader-friendly.
Suggestions for further improvement of the series will be gratefully acknowledged.

O
Let us see, what number shall we get by adding 1 to 99999.

= 90000 + 9000 + 900 + 90 + 10 (adding ones)

BO
= 90000 + 9000 + 900 + 100 (adding tens)
= 90000 + 9000 + 1000 (adding hundreds)

8. tens in 695? 9. tens in 3578?

Order Relation
We have learnt the method of finding the greater of the two given 4-digit numbers.

KS
To compare 5-digit numbers, we follow the same rule.
We also know that:

Rule. A number containing more digits is greater than the number containing
less digits.

Example 1. Which is greater: 84321 or 9847?

O
For example, 15 > 7; 163 > 53; 3150 > 999

Solution. The number 84321 has more digits than the number 9847.
BO
∴ 84321 > 9847.
We also know that:

Rule. If two numbers contain the same number of digits, we compare them by
their leftmost digits. If the leftmost digits are also the same, we compare them
by their next digits to the right and so on.
C

Example 2. Which is smaller: 82361 or 98754?

Solution. 82361 has 8 ten-thousands.
AP

98754 has 9 ten-thousands.

But we know that 8 ten-thousands are less than 9 ten-thousands.
∴ 82361 is smaller than 98754
or 82361 < 98754
Example 3. Which is greater: 62389 or 62754?
Solution. 62389 has 6 ten-thousands and 2 thousands.
62754 also has 6 ten-thousands and 2 thousands.

KS
Since 7 is greater than 3,
∴ 62754 is greater than 62389 or 62754 > 62389.

Ascending-Descending Order
Ascending order means the increasing order. While writing the given group of numbers

O
in the ascending order, we first write the smallest number and then the next greater
number. Like this we keep on writing the next greater number and lastly, we write
the greatest number.
BO
Descending order means the decreasing order. While writing the given group of
numbers in descending order, we first write the greatest number and then the next
smaller number. Like this we keep on writing the next smaller number and lastly, we
write the smallest number.
Example 4. Arrange the following numbers in ascending order:
15635, 15389, 28707, 2791, 489.
C

Solution. Here the smallest number is 489. The next number greater than 489 is 2791.
The other numbers greater than 2791 in order are: 15389, 15635 and 28707.
AP

∴ The given numbers when arranged in ascending order are:

489, 2791, 15389, 15635, 28707.
Example 5. Arrange the following numbers in descending order using symbols:
5035, 42801, 1506, 27391, 41752.
Solution. Here the greatest number is 42801. The next number smaller than 42801 is
41752. The other numbers less than 41752 in order are: 27391, 5035 and 1506.
∴ The given numbers when arranged in descending order are:
42801 > 41752 > 27391 > 5035 > 1506.

Formation of Greatest and Smallest Numbers
We know how to form the greatest and the smallest number of 3 digits with the given
digits. We adopt the same procedure in case of numbers of 4 or 5 digits. We explain
the procedure below:
Case 1. When the digits are not repeated.
For the greatest number of 4 digits, write the greatest digit out of the given digits
in the thousands place, the next smaller digit in the hundreds place, next smaller digit
in the tens place and the smallest digit in the ones place.
For example, if the given digits are 3, 9, 0 and 5, then the greatest number of 4

KS
digits is 9530.
For the greatest number of 5 digits, write the greatest digit in the ten-thousands
place, next smaller digit in the thousands place and so on.
For example, if the given digits are 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, then the greatest number of
5 digits is 86420.

O
For the smallest number of 4 digits, write the smallest digit out of the given digits
in the thousands place, the next greater digit in the hundreds place, still greater digit
in the tens place and the greatest digit in the ones place.
BO
For example, if the given digits are 8, 2, 3 and 9, then the smallest number of 4
digits is 2389.
For the smallest number of 5 digits, write the smallest digit in the ten-thousands
place, next greater digit in the thousands place and so on.
For example, if the given digits are 7, 5, 3, 1 and 2, then the smallest number of
C

5 digits is 12357.

Note When the given digits are 6, 2, 3, 0 and 4, then the smallest number of 5
AP

digits is 20346.
02346 is actually 2346, which is a 4-digit number.

Example 6. Write the greatest and the smallest 4-digit numbers with the digits
3, 9, 2 and 5 (digits not to be repeated).
Solution. The greatest 4-digit number = 9532.
The smallest 4-digit number = 2359.
Example 7. Write the greatest and the smallest 5-digit numbers with the digits
5, 3, 7, 9 and 0 (digits not to be repeated).

14 Perfect Composite Mathematics

Solution. The greatest 5-digit number = 97530. I know!
0 is never written
The smallest 5-digit number = 30579. on the extreme
left place.
Case 2. When the digits are repeated.
For the greatest 4-digit or 5-digit numbers, write the smallest digit at the ones
place, write the next greater digit at the tens place and so on till all the digits are
used. Repeat the greatest digit at the remaining places.
For example, if the given digits are 2, 1, 8, then the greatest number of 4 digits
is 8821.

KS
The greatest number of 5 digits is 88821.
For the smallest 4-digit or 5-digit numbers, write the greatest digit at the ones
place, write the next smaller digit at the tens place and so on till all the digits are
used. Repeat the smallest digit at the remaining places.
For example, if the given digits are 2, 7, 5, then the smallest 4-digit number is
2257.
The smallest 5-digit number is 22257.
O
BO
Example 8. Write the greatest and the smallest 4-digit number, using all the digits
6, 1, 4.
Solution. The greatest 4-digit number = 6641.
The smallest 4-digit number = 1146.
Example 9. Write the greatest and the smallest 5-digit numbers by using all the digits
2, 0, 5, 6.

 2 Roman Numerals

In class III, we have learnt the method of writing numbers up to ten thousand. We used
ten numerals (symbols), i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 for writing these numbers.

KS
These numerals were first used by Hindus and then by Arabians. So these numerals
are called Hindu-Arabic numerals. These numerals are now used all over the world
and are thus called international numerals.
In India, people speak different regional languages and so use different regional
numerals for writing numbers. For example, the numeral used for writing the number

O
four in Hindi (Devnagri) is and in Urdu it is written as .

Roman Numerals
BO
Romans used other symbols for writing numbers. They used only seven basic symbols.
They are I, V, X, L, C, D and M. Their respective values are given in the following
table:
I V X L C D M
1 5 10 50 100 500 1000
In this class, we shall learn the use of only first three symbols, i.e., I, V and X. With
C

the help of these three symbols we can write numbers up to thirty nine. According
to the convention, the compound symbols are formed by the rules given below:
(a) Repetition of I and X means addition, e.g.,
AP

II = 1 + 1 = 2 III = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
XX = 10 + 10 = 20 XXX = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30

Note I and X can be repeated at the most three times. V is never repeated.

(b) If a smaller number is written to the right of a larger one, then smaller is
added to the larger, e.g.,
VI = 5 + 1 = 6; XII = 10 + 1 + 1 = 12; XV = 10 + 5 = 15

Roman Numerals 19
 (c) If I is written to the left of V or X, it is subtracted, e.g.,
IV = 5 – 1 = 4; IX = 10 – 1 = 9.

Note V is never written to the left of X. I is written only once to the left of V and X.

(d) For numbers between 10 and 40, we first write the number in groups of tens
and ones and then write the Roman numeral, e.g.,
22 = 10 + 10 + 2 = XXII; 39 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 9 = XXXIX.
Example 1. Write the Hindu-Arabic numerals for the following:
(a) IX (b) XVI (c) XIX

KS
(d) XIV (e) XXXV (f ) XXXVII
Solution.
(a) IX = 9 (b) XVI = 10 + 6 = 16
(c) XIX = 10 + 9 = 19 (d) XIV = 10 + 4 = 14
(e) XXXV = 30 + 5 = 35 (f ) XXXVII = 30 + 7 = 37
Example 2. Write the following in Roman numerals:
(a) 7 (b) 15
O
(c) 28 (d) 32
BO
(e) 21 (f ) 17 (g) 23 (h) 24
Solution.
(a) 7 = VII (b) 15 = 10 + 5 = XV
(c) 28 = 10 + 10 + 8 = XXVIII (d) 32 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 2 = XXXII
(e) 21 = 10 + 10 + 1 = XXI (f ) 17 = 10 + 7 = XVII
(g) 23 = 10 + 10 + 3 = XXIII (h) 24 = 10 + 10 + 4 = XXIV

Subtraction with borrowing (decomposing)

We have learnt the subtraction of 3-digit numbers (with borrowing). Same rule will
be applied for subtracting 4-digit and 5-digit numbers. Let us recall decomposing
(borrowing):
1 ten = 10 ones
Hey!
1 hundred = 10 tens It will help you
in decomposing.
1 thousand = 10 hundreds
1 T-thousand = 10 thousands

Subtraction 35
Example 1. Decompose and fill in the blanks:
(a) 8 hundreds + 7 tens = 7 hundreds + tens
(b) 9 thousands + 3 tens = 8 thousands + hundreds + 12 tens + ones
Solution.
(a) 8 hundreds + 7 tens = 7 hundreds + 10 tens + 7 tens
= 7 hundreds + 17 tens
(b) 9 thousands + 3 tens = 8 thousands + 10 hundreds + 3 tens
= 8 thousands + 9 hundreds + 13 tens

Estimating the difference
We have learnt estimation in addition. Applying the same rule, we estimate the
difference:
Example 1. Find the actual and estimated difference of 32212 and 17906 by rounding
off to the nearest thousands and compare.
Solution.
Actual Estimated
3 2 2 1 2 3 2 0 0 0

KS
– 1 7 9 0 6 – 1 8 0 0 0
1 4 3 0 6 1 4 0 0 0

The estimated difference 14000 is very near to the actual difference 14306.
Example 2. A fruit-seller has 38210 bananas. Out of these he sold 21799 bananas.
Estimate the unsold bananas.
Solution. Estimating to ten thousands
Total bananas = 40000O
BO
Bananas sold out = 20000
Bananas unsold = 20000
C

Framing Word Problems (Story Writing)

As in case of framing word problems on addition, we can form different word
problems for each number sentence. For example:
AP

For the number sentence 48915 – 36100 = ?

Some of the word problems are:
(a) A fruit-seller has 48915 fruits in his shop. If 36100 are only bananas, how many
are other fruits?
(b) A carpenter has 48915 nails. He used 36100 nails in making some desks. How
many nails are left?
(c) The population of a village is 48915. If the number of males is 36100, estimate
the number of females.
