(iii) Are there any rows or columns that contain only even numbers or only odd numbers? Explain your observation.
(iv) Look at the window frame highlighted in red colour in the table.
(a) Find the sum of the two numbers in each row.
(b) Find the sum of the two numbers in each column. What do you notice?
(c) Find the sum of the numbers in each of the two diagonals marked by arrows. What do you notice?
(d) Put the red window frame in other places and find the sums as above. What do you notice?

Answer:
(i) In rows and columns, add 1 number to each previous number.
(ii) 12 times, each number appears that many times in the table by adding 3 digits to that number.
(iii) No, every row or column contains even and odd both numbers.

Question 4.
(i) Take a 2-digit number say, 27. Reverse its digits (72). Add them (99). Repeat for different 2 -digit numbers.
(ii) What sums can we get when we add a 2 -digit number with its reverse?
(iii) List down all numbers which when added to their reverse give
(a) 55
(b) 88
(iv) Can we get a 3-digit sum? What is the smallest 3 -digit sum that we can get?
Answer:
(i) Do yourself
(ii) Do yourself
(iii) (a) To get a sum of 55, we need to add 14 to its reverse i.e. 14+41=55 and 23 to its reverse i.e. 23+32=55
∴ 14 and 23 will give 55 when added to their reverse.
(b) To get a sum of 88, we need to add 44 to its reverse which is 44 itself
i.e. 44+44=88,
17 to its reverse i.e. 17+71=88
26 to its reverse i.e. 26+62=88
35 to its reverse i.e. 35+53=88.
∴ 17,26,35 and 44 will give 88 when added to their reverse.
(iv) Yes, we can get a 3-digit sum.
e.g. 19+91=110,55+55=110, 66+66=132 etc.
The smallest 3 -digit sum that we can get is 110

Question 10.
In a juice making factory, women make different types of juices as given below:

(i) The number of bottles of guava juice is 759 more than the number of bottles of pineapple juice. Find the number of bottles of guava juice.
(ii) The number of bottles of orange juice is 1257 more than the number of bottles of guava juice and 1417 less than the number of bottles of passion fruit juice. How many bottles of orange juice are made in a month?
(iii) Is the total number of bottles of guava juice and orange juice more or less than the number of bottles of passion fruit juice? How much more or less?
Answer:
(i) Given, the number of bottles of pineapple juice = 1348
Then, the number of bottles of guava juice =1348+759=2107
(ii) The number of bottles of orange juice = Number of bottles of guava juice +1257 =2107+1257=3364
Also, the number of bottles of orange juice = Number of bottles of passion fruit juice – 1417
=4781-1417=3364
So, 3364 bottles of orange juice are made in a month.

(iii) The total number of bottles of guava juice and orange juice =2107+3364=5471
So, the difference between number of bottles of passion fruit juice and total number of bottles of guava and orange juice
=5471-4781=690
So, the total number of bottles of guava juice and orange juice is more than the number of bottles of passion fruit juice by 690

Question 11.
In a small town, the following vehicles were registered in the year 2022. Find the number of vehicles as per the conditions given below.

(i) The number of buses is 253 more than the number of jeeps. How many buses are there in the town?
(ii) The number of tractors is 5247 less than the number of buses. How many tractors are in the town?
(iii) The number of taxis is 1579 more than the number of tractors. How many taxis are there?
(iv) Arrange the numbers of each type of vehicle from lowest to highest.
Answer:
(i) Given, the number of jeeps =6304
So, the number of buses =6304+253
=6557
(ii) We know, number of buses =6557 So, the number of tractors in the town
=6557-5247=1310
(iii) We know, the number of tractors =1310
So, the number of taxis=1310+1579
=2889
(iv) The arrangement of numbers of each type of vechicle from lowest to highest is 1310,2889,6304,6557
