Question 10.
(i) The owner of an electric store has decided to distribute ₹ 5500 equally amongst 5 of his employees as a Diwali gift. What amount will each employee get?
(ii) What will happen if he distributes the same amount of money among 10 employees? Will each employee get more or less? How much money would he have to distribute if everyone must get the same amount as earlier?
Answer:
(i) Given, the total amount to be distributed
= ₹ 5500
and the number of employees = 5
Then, the amount received by each
employee = ₹(5500 ÷ 5)
= ₹ 1100
(ii) Now, if number of employees = 10 Then, the amount received by each
employee = ₹(5500 ÷ 10)
= ₹ 550
Since, ₹ 550 < ₹ 1100.
So, each employee will get less money. Since, earlier, each employee got ₹ 1100.
Then, total amount to be distributed among 10 employees (₹ 1100 each)
= 10 × 1100
= ₹ 11000
So, the owner would have to distribute ₹ 11000 if everyone must get the same amount of ₹ 1100.

Question 17.
Rani is planning to host a party. She estimates that 250 guests will attend. She plans to serve one samosa to each guest. Samosas are available in packs of 6 or 8. Which pack should Rani buy? Explain your answer.
Answer:
Given, the number of guests who will attend the party = 250, the number of samosas to be served to each guest = 1 and samosas are available in packs of 6 or 8. Now, the number of packs containing 6 samosas needed is 250 ÷ 6.

![]()
So, Rani needs 41 packs and 1 more pack for remaining 4 samosas i.e. 42 packs. Also, the number of packs containing 8 samosas needed is 250 + 8.

So, Rani needs 31 packs and 1 more pack for remaining 2 samosas i.e. 32 packs.
Clearly, in pack of 6 , she will get two extra samosas and in pack of 8 , she will get six extra samosas.
So, Rani should buy 42 packs of 6.

Three friends decide to split the money spent on their picnic equally. They buy snacks and sweets for ₹ 157 , juice and fruits for ₹ 124 and pulav and paratha for ₹ 136. How much should each person pay to share the cost equally?
Answer:
Given, the price of snacks and sweets
= ₹ 157,
the price of juice and fruits
= ₹ 124
and the price of pulav and paratha = ₹ 136
Then, the total expenses
= ₹ 157 + ₹ 124 + ₹ 136
= ₹ 417
Since, the number of friends = 3
So, the amount to be paid by all of three equally is 417 ÷ 3.

So, each person should pay ₹ 139.

Question 24.
Can you tell just by looking at the divisor and dividend, how many digits the quotient would have? Look at the problems above and find this out. Explain your thoughts.
Answer:
Yes, it is possible to estimate the number of digits in the quotient by looking at the divisor and dividend.
First, look at the dividend and try dividing the first digit or first two digits by the divisor. If the division is possible for the first digit then the number of digits from that first digit till end gives the number of digits in quotient.
If not, then try combining first two terms and repeat the process.
e.g. (i) 324 + 3
Here, 3 divides 3 (Hundreds place), then number of digits in quotients will be 3.
![]()
(ii) 136 ÷ 6
Here, 6 doesn’t divide (1 Hundreds place), then try 13 which can be divisible by 6.
So, the number of digits in the quotients will be 2.

Question 28.
A theatre company can accommodate 45 people during one show.
(i) A total of 475 people bought tickets for a puppet show. How many shows are needed to seat all the people who bought tickets?
(ii) There are 2 shows in a day. How many days will be needed to accommodate all the people?
Answer:
(i) Given, the number of persons accommodated during one show = 45.
Here, the number of persons who bought tickets = 475.
Then, the number of shows needed to seat all the 475 persons is 475 + 45.

So, the company needs to arrange 10 shows and 1 more show for remaining 25 people i.e. 11 shows.
(ii) Given, the number of shows per day = 2 and total number of shows = 11.
Then, the number of days to accommodate all the 475 people in 11 shows is 11 + 2.

So, the number of days will be 5 and 1 more for remaining 1 show i.e. 6 days to accommodate all the people.
Question 29.
Naina bought 5 kg of ice cream as a birthday treat for her 23 friends. 400 g ice-cream was left after everyone had an equal share. How much ice-cream did each of her friends eat?
Answer:
Given, total weight of the ice-cream
= 5 kg
= 5 × 1000 g
= 5000 g
and the weight of the left over ice-cream
= 400 g.
Then, the total weight of the ice-cream which was equally shared
= 5000 g – 400 g = 4600 g
Since, the number of her friends = 23
So, the weight of the ice-cream, which each of her friends ate equally is 4600 + 23.

Therefore, each friend ate 200 g the ice-cream.
Question 30.
Megha packs 15 packets of ragi-oats biscuits for a 4 day group trip. Each packet contains 8 biscuits. There are 6 people in the group. If distributed evenly, how many biscuits can one person have each day.
Answer:

So, the total number of biscuits = 15 × 8 = 120
Also given, the number of persons in group = 6
and the number of days for which trip is planned = 4
So, the total number of servings = 6 × 4 = 24
Then, the number of biscuits that each person can have on each day is 120 ÷ 24.

So, each person can have 5 biscuits each day.

Given, the cost of 1 kg potato = ₹ 20
Then, the quantity supplied in
₹ 2,240 = 2,240 ÷ 20 = 112 kg
Given, the cost of 1 kg cabbage = ₹ 32
Then, the cost of 56 kg cabbage = ₹ 32 × 56 = ₹ 1,792
Given, the quantity of green peas supplied = 125 kg
Then, the cost of 1 kg green peas = 3,125 + 125 = ₹ 25.
Now, the total money earned through the sale
= ₹ 2,028 + ₹ 2,240 + ₹ 1,792 + ₹ 3,125
= ₹ 9,185.
Therefore, the table with filled blanks is given below

This table gives the total money earned from the sale of all vegetables.

Mathematical Statements (NCERT Pg 135)
Question 38.
Find out whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
A true sentence is one where both sides of the ‘ = ‘ sign have the same value.
(i) 8 × 9 = 70 + 2
(ii) 20-6 = 7 × 3
(iii) 48 ÷ 3 = 4 × 4
(iv) 89-9 = 90 + 0
(v) 25 + 10 = 45 – 10
Answer:
(i) We have, LHS = 8 × 9 = 72
RHS = 70 + 2 = 72
So, statement is T.
(ii) We have, LHS = 20-6 = 14
RHS = 7 × 3 = 21
So, statement is F.
(iii) We have, LHS = 48 + 3 = 16
RHS = 4 × 4 = 16
So, statement is T.
(iv) We have, LHS = 89-9 = 80
RHS = 90 + 0 = 90
So, statement is F.
(v) We have, LHS = 25 + 10 = 35
RHS = 45-10 = 35
So, statement is T.

Question 39
Complete the following statements such that they are true.
(i) 7 × 6 = ________ + 17
(ii) 87 + 6 = ________ × 31
(iii) 63 + ________ = 74 – 4
(iv) ________ + 9 = 16 ÷ 2
Answer:
We have,
(i) 7 × 6 = 42 = 25 + 17
(ii) 87 + 6 = 93 = 3 × 31
(iii) 63 + 7 = 70 = 74 – 4
(iv) 72 + 9 = 8 = 16 + 2
Question 40.
Think about the following statements and find examples as suggested below.
(i) “When two odd numbers are added, the sum is even.” Find 5 examples for the above statement. Can you find an example to show that the statement can be false?
Always true
(ii) “Multiplying a number by 2 can give an odd number.” Give some example for this statement. Can you find any?
Never true
(iii) “Halving a number always leads to an even number.” Give 3 examples for the statement. Can you find 3 examples when this is not true? Sometimes true
Answer:
(i) We can choose the following 5 such pair of numbers
and 3 + 5 = 8 (even)
9 + 11 = 20 (even)
7 + 13 = 20 (even)
103 + 21 = 124 (even)
29 + 3 = 32 (even)
No, we can’t find any such example to show that the sum of two odd numbers is odd.
(ii) No, it is not possible to find any number, whose multiplication with 2 gives an odd number.
e.g. 4 (even) × 2 = 8 (even)
3 (odd) × 2 = 6 (even)
