Question 4.
(i) Which number am I?
I am a two-digit number. Find me with the help of the following clues.
(a) I am greater than 8.
(b) I am not a multiple of 4.
(c) I am a multiple of 9.
(d) I am an odd number.
(e) I am not a multiple of 11.
(f) I am less than 50.
(g) My ones digit is even
(h) My tens digit is odd.

Answer:
Let’s use the given clues to find two-digit number:
- Two-digit Number This means the number is between 10 and 99.
- I am greater than 8 All the two digit numbers are greater than 8.
- I am not a multiple of 4 All the possible two digit numbers except the multiple of 4 i.e. 12,16,20,24,…..
- I am a multiple of 9 All the two digit numbers which are multiples of 9 are 18,27,45,54,63,81,90 and 99.
- I am an odd number The odd numbers from the multiples of 9 are 27,45,63,81 and 99.
- I am less than 50 The number less than 50 from the remaining numbers are 27 and 45.
- My ones digit is even None of the remaining numbers have even ones digit.
- My tens digit is odd None of the remaining numbers have odd tens digit.
(ii) Did you use all the clues to find the number? Which clues did not help you in finding the number?
Answer:
There is no two digit number that can satisfy all the given clues simultaneously because clues (d) “I am an odd number” and (g) My ones digit is even” are contradictory because an odd number must have an odd digit in ones place Therefore, the clues (d) and (g) did not help in finding a specific number as they create a logical inconsistency.

Question 5.
Make your own numbers.
(i) Choose any two numbers and one operation from the grid. Try to make all the numbers between 0 and 20. For example, 2 can be formed as 4-2. Could you make all the numbers?

Answer:
All numbers between 0 and 20 that are formed by two numbers and an operation
5 – 4 or 4 – 3 or 3 – 2 = 1
10 + 5 or 4 – 2 = 2
36 ÷ 12 or 5 – 2 or 12 ÷ 4 = 3
12 + 3 or 100 + 25 = 4
25 * 5 or 10 * 2 or 10 – 5 =5
10 – 4 or 3 × 2 = 6
4 + 3 or 10 – 3 = 7
4 × 2 or 12 – 4 = 8
36 + 4 or 12 – 3 = 9
100 + 10 or 5 × 2 = 10
36 – 25 = 11
10 + 2 or 36
3 or 4 × 3 = 12
25 – 12 or 10 + 3 = 13
10 + 4 or 12 + 2 = 14
10 + 5 or 5 × 3 or 12 + 3 = 15
12 + 4 = 16
12 + 5 = 17
36 + 2 = 18
No, we can not make all the numbers.
(ii) Which numbers could you not make? Is it possible to make these numbers using three numbers? You can use two operations, if needed.
Which numbers between 0-20 can you get in more than one way?
Answer:
The number 19 cannot be made by taking two numbers and one operation.
So, we use three numbers and two operations to make the number 19
25 – (10 – 4) = 19
So, many numbers can be obtained.
The numbers between 0-20 in which to get use more than one way are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15.

Let Us Solve (NCERT Pg 77)
Question 12.
Use strategies flexibly to answer the following questions. Discuss your thoughts in class.
(i) A school has an auditorium with 35 rows, with 42 seats in each row. How many people can sit in this auditorium?
(ii) Priya jogs 4 kilometres every day. How many kilometers will she jog in 31 days?
(iii) A school has received 36 boxes of books with 48 books in each box. How many total books did the school receive in the boxes?
(iv) Priya uses 16 metres of cloth to make 4 kurtas. How much cloth would she need to make 8 kurtas?
(v) Gollappa has 29 cows on his farm. Each cow produces 5 litres of milk per day. How many litres of milk do the cow produce in total, each day?
(vi) Maska Cow Farm has 297 cows. Each cow requires 18 kg of fodder per day. How much total fodder is needed to feed 297 cows every day?
Answer:
(i) Given, the number of rows in an auditorium = 35
and the number of seats in one row = 42
So, the number of people who can sit in an auditorium = 35 × 42

Therefore, 1470 people can sit in the auditorium.
(ii) Given, the distance covered by Priya per day = 4 km
So, the total distance covered by Priya in 31 days = 31 × 4 = 30 × 4 + 4
= 120 + 4 = 124 km
Therefore, Priya will jog 124 kilometres in 31 days.
![]()
(iii) Given, the total number of boxes = 36 and the number of books in one box = 48 So, the total number of books in 36 boxes
= 36 × 48 = 36 × (50-2)
= 36 × 50-36 × 2 = 1800 – 72 = 1728
Therefore, the school receive 1728 books in the boxes.
(iv) Given, total length of cloth used for making 4 kurtas = 16 m
∴ Length of cloth used for making 1 kurta
= \(\frac{16}{4}\) = 4 m
So, the total length of cloth used for making 8 kurtas = 8 × 4 = 32 m
(v) Given, the number of cows in farm = 29 and total amount of milk per cow = 5
So, the total amount of milk of 29 cows
= 29 × 5 = 30 × 5 – 5
= 150 – 5 = 145 L
Therefore, the cow produce 145 L of milk each day.
(vi) Given, the number of cows = 297
and total fodder per day required by a cow
= 18 kg
So, total fodder per day required for
297 cows = 297 × 18 = (300-3) × 18
= 300 × 18-3 × 18
= 5400 – 54
= 5346 kg
Therefore, 297 cows need 5346 kg food every day.
Waste and Composting (NCERT Pg 77-78)
Question 13.
A family of 4 produces around 35 kg of kitchen waste in a month. How much waste will the family produce in a year?
Quantity of kitchen waste in 1 month is 35 kg.
Quantity of kitchen waste in 12 months is 12 × 35 kg.

Kanti and John tried to solve it in the following ways.

(i) The family produces _______ kg of waste in a year.
(ii) How are these solutions same or different? Discuss in class.
Answer:
(i) The family produces 420 kg of waste in a year
(ii) Here, Kanti breaks down both 35 and 12 into their expanded forms like
35 = 30+5 and 12 = 10+2
Then, kanti multiples each part of 35 by each part of 12 separately and adds the resulting products,

John also breaks down 35 and 12 into their expanded forms,
i.e. 35 = 30 + 5
and 12 = 10 + 2
Then, John first multiplies 35 by 10 and then by 2 and adds the results,
i.e. (30 + 5) × 10 = 300 + 50 = 350
and (30 + 5) × 2 = 60 + 10 = 70
And then John adds these two numbers, i.e. 350 + 70 = 420
So, these methods are same.

Solve the following problems:
(i) A movie theater has 8 rows of seats and each row has 12 seats. If half the seats are filled, how many people are watching the movie? If 3 more rows get filled, how many total people will be there?

Answer:
Given, the total number of rows in movie theater = 8
and number of seats in each row = 12
If half the seats are filled,
∴ Number of people watching movie
Now, 3 more rows get filled
∴ Number of people in 3 rows = 12 × 3 = 36
Therefore, the total number of people who are watching the movie = 48 + 36
= 84 people.

(ii) In a test match between India and West Indies, the Indian team hit twenty-four 4s and eighteen 6s across the two innings. How many runs were scored in 4 s and 6 s each? 234 runs were made by running between the wickets. If 23 runs were extras, how many runs were scored by Indian team in the two innings?
Answer:
Given, the Indian team hit twenty-four 4 s and eighteen 6 s across the two innings.
Now, total runs from 4 s = 24 × 4 = 96
and total runs from 6 s = 18 × 6 = 108 s
If 234 runs were made by running between the wickets and 23 extra runs were extra.
Therefore, total runs scored by the Indian team in the two innings
= 96 + 108 + 234 + 23
= 461
(iii) Anjali buys 15 bulbs and 12 tube lights from Sudha Electricals. Each bulb costs ₹ 25 and each tube light costs ₹ 34. How much money should Anjali give to the shopkeeper?
Answer:
Given, the total number of bulbs bought by Anjali = 15
and the total number of tube lights bought by Anjali =12
If each bulb costs ₹ 25 and each tube lights costs ₹ 34.
Therefore, the total money given to shopkeeper by Anjali
= 15 × 25 + 12 × 34
= 375 + 408
= ₹ 783
(iv) A shopkeeper sold 28 bags of rice. Each bag costs ₹ 350. How much money did he earn by selling rice bags?
Answer:
Given, number of bags sold = 28
and cost of each bag = ₹ 350
Therefore, total earnings
= 28 × 350
= ₹ 9800
Hence, the shopkeeper earned ₹ 9800 by selling rice bags.
(v) A school library has 86 shelves and each shelf has 162 books. Find the number of books in the library.

The King’s Reward (NCERT Pg 88-89)
Question 29.
One day, a king decided to reward three of his most talented ministers. The king called them to his court and said, “You all have served my empire with great dedication. As a reward, I give you three choices of gold.
Choose wisely!
Choice 1 Take 5 gold coins and double the number of coins every day for 7 days.
Choice 2 Take 3 gold coins and triple the number of coins every day for 7 days.
Choice 3 Take 1 gold coin and multiply the number of coins by 5 every day for 7 days.
Minister 1 I will take 5 gold coins and double the number of coins every day for 7 days.
Minister 2 I will take 3 gold coins and triple the number of coins every day for 7 days.
Minister 3 I will take 1 gold coin and multiply the number of coins by 5 every day for 7 days.
The King gave 5 coins to Minister 1, 3 coins to Minister 2 and 1 coin to Minister 3.
Which of the rewards would you have chosen?
After a week, the 3 ministers were surprised at the final amount of gold coins. Guess who received the most gold coins? Calculate how much gold cons each minister reaceived.
Answer:
For Minister 1
Minister 1 starts with 5 gold coins and doubles the amount every day for 7 days.
Therefore, for day 1,5 × 2 = 10
for day 2,10 × 2 = 20
for day 3,20 × 2 = 40
for day 4,40 × 2 = 80
for day 5,80 × 2 = 160
for day 6,160 × 2 = 320
for day 7,320 × 2 = 640
So, the number of coins after 7 days = 640
For Minister 2
Minister 2 starts with 3 gold coins and triple the amount every day for 7 days
Therefore, for day 1, 3 × 3 = 9
for day 2,9 × 3 = 27
for day 3,27 × 3 = 81
for day 4,81 × 3 = 243
for day 5,243 × 3 = 729
for day 6,729 × 3 = 2187
for day 7,2187 × 3 = 6561
So, the number of coins after 7 days = 6,561
![]()
For Minister 3
Minister 3 starts with 1 gold coin and multiply the number of coins by 5 every day for 7 days.
Therefore, for day 1,1 × 5 = 5
for day 2,5 × 5 = 25
for day 3,25 × 5 = 125
for day 4,125 × 5 = 625
for day 5,625 × 5 = 3125
for day 6,3125 × 5 = 15625
for day 7,15625 × 5 = 78125
So, the number of cons after 7 days = 78125 Based on the calculations, choice 3 which minister 3 chose, yields the most gold coins. Therefore, we would have chosen choice 3.

Question 32.
Mala went to a book exhibition and bought 18 books. The shop was selling 3 books for ₹ 150. After buying the books, she still had ₹ 20 left. How much money did Mala have at the beginning?
Answer:
Given, number of books bought by Mala = 18
∵ The shop was selling 3 books for ₹ 150.
∴ The cost of 1 book = 150 + 3 = ₹ 50
So, the cost of 18 books = 50 × 18 = ₹ 900
Since, Mala still had 20 rupees left.
Hence, the money she had at the beginning
= 900 + 20 = ₹ 920

Question 33.
A village sports club organises a women’s football tournament. The club earned money by selling match tickets and charging fees for team participation. They sold 57 tickets for ₹ 115 each. They had 3 teams joining the tournament, with each team paying a participation fee of ₹ 1,599.
The teams paid ₹ 1,750 in total to rent the football ground and ₹ 1,129 for food and water.
(i) How much money did the club collect in total from ticket sales and team participation fees?
(ii) What were the total expenses on renting the ground and food and water?
Answer:
(i) Given, the number of tickets sold = 57 and price for each ticket = ₹ 115 Now, earnings from ticket sales
= 57 × 115 = ₹ 6,555
Also, given number of teams = 3 and participation fee per team = ₹ 1,599
∴ Earnings from participation fees
= 1,599 × 3 = ₹ 4,797
Total money collected = 4,797 + 6,555
= ₹ 11,352
(ii) Since, the teams paid ₹ 1,750 in total to rent the football ground and ₹ 1,129 for food and water.
So, total expenses =1,750 + 1,129 = ₹ 2,879
Question 34.
Ananya is watching Republic Day celebrations on the city’s public ground. There are 12 rows of students sitting in front of her and 17 rows behind her. There are 18 students to her right and 22 students to her left.
(a) How many rows of students are there in total?
(b) How many students are there in Ananya’s row?
(c) What is the total number of students on the ground?
Answer:
(a) Given, number of rows in front of Ananya = 12 and number of rows behind Ananya = 17 Also, there is one Ananya’s row.
∴ The total number of rows in ground.
= 12 + 17 + 1 = 30
![]()
(b) Since, there are 18 students to Ananya’s right and 22 students to Ananya’s left. Also, 1 is Ananya herself.
∴ The total number of students in Ananya’s row = 18 + 22 + 1 = 41
(c) Number of students in Ananya’s row =41 and total number of rows = 30
∴ Total number of students in ground
= 41 × 30 = 1230
