Question 24How many odd numbers less than 1000 can be formed by using the digits 0, 3, 5, 7 when repetition of digits is not allowed?Solution 24Any number less than 1000 may be any of a number from one-digit number, two-digit number and three-digit number.
One-digit odd number:
3 possible ways are there. These numbers are 3 or 5 or 7.
Two-digit odd number:
Tens place can be filled up by 3 ways (using any of the digit among 3, 5 and 7) and then the ones place can be filled in any of the remaining 2 digits.
So, there are 3 2 = 6 such 2-digit numbers.
Three-digit odd number:
Ignore the presence of zero at ones place for some instance.
Hundreds place can be filled up in 3 ways (using any of any of the digit among 3, 5 and 7), then tens place in 3 ways by using remaining 3 digits (after using a digit, there will be three digits) and then the ones place in 2 ways.
So, there are a total of 3 3 2 = 18 numbers of 3-digit numbers which includes both odd and even numbers (ones place digit are zero). In order to get the odd numbers, it is required to ignore the even numbers i.e. numbers ending with zero.
To obtain the even 3-digit numbers, ones place can be filled up in 1 way (only 0 to be filled), hundreds place in 3 ways (using any of the digit among 3, 5, 7) and then tens place in 2 ways (using remaining 2 digits after filling up hundreds place).
So, there are a total of 1 3 2 = 6 even 3-digit numbers using the digits 0, 3, 5 and 7 (repetition not allowed)
So, number of three-digit odd numbers using the digits 0, 3, 5 and 7 (repetition not allowed) = 18 – 6 = 12.
Therefore, odd numbers less than 1000 can be formed by using the digits 0, 3, 5, 7 when repetition of digits is not allowed are 3 + 6 + 12 = 21.Question 25

How many for digit natural numbers not exceeding 4321 can be formed with the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4, if the digits can repeat?Solution 33
The given digits are 1, 2, 3 and 4. These digits can be repeated while forming the numbers. So, number of required four digit natural numbers can be found as follows.
Consider four digit natural numbers whose digit at thousandths place is 1.
Here, hundredths place can be filled in 4 ways. (Using the digits 1 or 2 or 3 or 4)
Similarly, tens place can be filled in 4 ways. (Using the digits 1 or 2 or 3 or 4)
Ones place can be filled in 4 ways. (Using the digits 1 or 2 or 3 or 4)
Number of four digit natural numbers whose digit at thousandths place is 1 = 4 4 4 = 64
Similarly, number of four digit natural numbers whose digit at thousandths place is 2 = 4 4 4 = 64
Now, consider four digit natural numbers whose digit at thousandths place is 4:
Here, if the digit at hundredths place is 1, then tens place can be filled in 4 ways and ones place can also be filled in 4 ways.
If the digit at hundredths place is 2, then tens place can be filled in 4 ways and ones place can also be filled in 4 ways.
If the digit at hundredths place is 3 and the digit at tens place is 1, then ones place can be filled in 4 ways.
If the digit at hundredths place is 3 and the digit at tens place is 2, then ones place can be filled only in 1 way so that the number formed is not exceeding 4321.
Number of four digit natural numbers not exceeding 4321 and digit at thousandths place is 3 = 4 4 + 4 4 + 4 + 1 = 37
Thus, required number of four digit natural numbers not exceeding 4321 is 64 + 64 + 64 + 37 = 229.Question 34

Each lamps has two possibilities either it can be switched on or off.
There are 10 lamps in the hall.
So the total numbers of possibilities are 210.
To illuminate the hall we require at least one lamp is to be switched on.
There is one possibility when all the lamps are switched off. If all the bulbs are switched off then hall will not be illuminated.
So the number of ways in which the hall can be illuminated is 210-1.

For any whole numbers a, b, c, is it true that (a + b) + c = a + (c + b)? Give reasons.
ANSWER:
For any whole numbers a,b and c, we have: (a + b) + c = a + ( b + c)
Let a = 2, b = 3 and c = 4 [we can take any values for a, b and c]
LHS = (a + b) + c = (2 + 3) + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9
RHS = a +(c + b) = a + (b + c) [∵ Whole numbers follow the commutative law] = 2 + (3 + 4) = 2 + 7 = 9
∴ This shows that associativity (in addition) is one of the properties of whole numbers.

ANSWER:
Cost of construction of 1 house = Rs 450000 Cost of construction of 197 such houses = 197 × 450000 = 450000 × (200 − 3) = 450000 × 200 − 450000 × 3 [Using distributive property of multiplication over subtraction] = 90000000 − 1350000 = 88650000

Cost of a chair = Rs 1065 Cost of a blackboard = Rs 1645 Cost of 50 chairs = 50 × 1065 = Rs 53250 Cost of 30 blackboards = 30 × 1645 = Rs 49350 ∴ Total amount of the bill = cost of 50 chairs + cost of 30 blackboards = Rs (53250 + 49350) = Rs 1,02,600

Question 14:
The product of two whole numbers is zero. What do you conclude?
ANSWER:
If the product of two whole numbers is zero, then one of them is definitely zero. Example: 0 × 2 = 0 and 0 × 15 = 0
If the product of whole numbers is zero, then both of them may be zero. i.e., 0 × 0 = 0
Now, 2 × 5 = 10. Here, the product will be non-zero because the numbers to be multiplied are not equal to zero.

What least number must be subtracted from 13601 to get a number exactly divisible by 87?
ANSWER:
First, we will divide 13601 by 87.
Remainder = 29 So, 29 must be subtracted from 13601 to get a number exactly divisible by 87. i.e., 13601 − 29 = 13572
Now, we have:
∴ 29 must be subtracted from 13601 to make it divisible by 87.

Question 10:
Find the largest 4-digit number divisible by 16.
ANSWER:
We have to find the largest four digit number divisible by 16 . The largest four-digit number = 9999 Therefore, dividend =9999 Divisor =16
Here, we get remainder =15 Therefore, 15 must be subtracted from 9999 to get the largest four digit number that is divisible by 16. i.e., 9999 − 15 = 9984
Thus, 9984 is the largest four-digit number that is divisible by 16.

Question 11:
Divide the largest 5 digit number by 653. Check your answer by the division algorithm.
Find the least 6-digit number exactly divisible by 83.
ANSWER:
Least six-digit number = 100000 Here, dividend = 100000 and divisor = 83
In order to find the least 6-digit number exactly divisible by 83, we have to add 83 − 68 = 15 to the dividend. I.e., 100000 + 15 = 100015
So, 100015 is the least six-digit number exactly divisible by 83.
