Question: 2
Replace each * by the correct digit in each of the following:
Solution:
Here, we can we see that in the units digit, 6 – * = 7, which means that the value of * is 9, as 1 gets carried from 7 at tens place to 6 at unit place and 6 at unit digit becomes 16 then 16 – 9 = 7.
Now, when 7 gives 1 to 6, it becomes 6, so 6 – 3 = 3.
Also, it can be easily deduced that in (8 – * = 6 ), the value of * is 2.
(ii) Here, it is clear that in the units place, 9 – 4 = 5;
And in the tens place,
8 – 3 = 5.
We can now easily find out the other missing blanks by subtracting 3455 from 8989. Addend (difference) = 3455
Thus, the correct answer is:
(iii)
Here, in the units digit, 17 – 8 = 9; in the tens digit, 9 – 7 = 2;
in the hundreds place, 10 – 9 = 1;
and in the thousands place, 9 – 8 = 1.
Addend difference = 5061129.
So, in order to get the addend, we will subtract 5061129 from 6000107.
Thus, the correct answer is:
(iv)
In the units place, 10 -1 = 9;
Also, in the lakhs place, 9 -0 = 9;
Addend difference = 970429.
So, in order to get the addend, we will subtract 970429 from 1000000.
Thus, the correct answer is:
(v)
Here, in the units digit, 13 – 7 = 6;
in the tens digit, 9 – 8 = 1;
in the hundreds place, 9 – 9 = 0;
and in the thousands place, 10 – 6 = 4.
Addend difference = 4844016.
So, in order to get the addend, we will subtract 4844016 from 5001003.
(vi)
It is clear from the units place that 11 – 9 = 2.
Addend difference = 54322.
To get the other addend, we will subtract 54322 from 111111.
Thus, the other addend is 56789.
The correct answer is:

The whole numbers between 437 and 487 are 438, 439, 440, 441, … , 484, 485 and 486. To find the required number of whole numbers,
We need to subtract 437 from 487 and then subtract again 1 from the result.
Thus, there are (487 – 437) – 1 whole numbers between 437 and 487.
Now, (487 – 437) – 1 = 50 – 1 = 49
Hence, the correct option is (b).
Question: 5
The product of the successor 999 and predecessor of 1001 is:
(a) one lakh (b) one billion (c) one million (d) one crore
Solution:
Successor of 999 = 999 + 1 = 1000
Predecessor of 1001 = 1001 – 1 = 1000
Now,
Product = (Successor of 999) × (Predecessor of 1001)
= 1000 × 1000
= 1000000
= one million
Hence, the correct option is (c).
Question: 6
Which one of the following whole numbers does not have a predecessor?
(a) 1 (b) 0 (c) 2 (d) None of these
Solution:
The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …. form the collection of whole numbers.
The smallest whole number is 0.
So, 0 does not have a predecessor.
Hence, the correct option is (b).
Question: 7
The number of whole numbers between the smallest whole number and the greatest 2 digit number is:
(a) 101 (b) 100 (c) 99 (d) 98
Solution:
Smallest whole number = 0
Greatest 2-digit whole number = 99
The whole numbers between 0 and 99 are 1, 2, 3, 4 …… 97, 98.
To find the number of whole numbers between 0 and 99,
Subtract 1 from the difference of 0 and 99.
Therefore, Number of whole numbers between 0 and 99 = (99 – 0) – 1
= 99 – 1
= 98
Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question: 8
If n is a whole number such that n + n = n, then n =?
(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) None of these
Solution:
Here, 0 + 0 = 0, 1 + 1 = 2 , 2 + 2 = 4 …..
So, the statement n + n = n is true only when n = 0.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question: 9
The predecessor of the smallest 3 digit number is:
(a) 999 (b) 99 (c) 100 (d) 101
Solution:
Smallest 3-digit number = 100
Predecessor of 3-digit number = 100 — 1 = 99
Hence, the correct option is (b).
Question: 10
The least number of 4 digits which is exactly divisible by 9 is:
(a)1008 (b)1009 (c)1026 (d)1018
Solution:
Least 4-digit number = 1000
The least 4-digit number exactly divisible by 9 is 1000 + (9 – 1) = 1008.
Hence, the correct option is (a).
Question: 11
The number which when divided by 53 gives 8 as quotient and 5 as remainder is:
(a) 424 (b) 419 (c) 429 (d) None of these
Solution:
Here, Divisor = 53, Quotient = 8 and Remainder = 5.
Now, using the relation Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
We get
Dividend = 53 x 8 + 5
= 424 + 5
= 429
Thus, the required number is 429.
Hence, the correct option is (c).
Question: 12
The whole number n satisfying n + 35 = 101 is:
(a) 65 (b) 67 (c) 64 (d) 66
Solution:
Here, n+ 35 = 101.
Adding – 35 on both sides, we get
n + 35 + (- 35) = 101 + (- 35)
n + 0 = 66
n = 66
Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question: 13

Solution:
Using distributive law of multiplication over subtraction, we get
1735 × 1232 – 1735 × 232 = 1735 (1232 – 232)
= 1735 × 1000
= 1735000
Hence, the correct option is (c).
Question: 15
The value of 47 × 99 is:
(a) 4635 (b) 4653 (c) 4563 (d) 6453
Solution:
Since, 99 = 100 — 1
Therefore, 47 × 99 = 47 × (100 — 1)
= 47 × 100 — 47
= 4700 — 47
= 4653
Thus, the value of 47 × 99 is 4653.
Hence, the correct option is (b).
