Solution:
Whole number 0 has no predecessor.

Question 3.
Which property do the following statements hold?
(a) 6 + 4 = 4 + 6
(b) 3 + 2 = whole number
Solution:
(a) 6 + 4 = 4 + 6 holds commutative property of addition

Question 4.
Add the following in three ways. Indicate the property used.
(a) 25 + 36 + 15
(b) 30 + 18 + 22
Solution:
(a) 25 + 36 + 15
Way I: 25 + (36 + 15) = 25 + 51 = 76
Way II: (25 + 36) + 15 = 61 + 15 = 76

Here, we have used associative property.

(b) 30 + 18 + 22
Way I: 30 + (18 + 22) = 30 + 40 = 70
Way II: (30 + 18) + 22 = 48 + 22 = 70
Way III: (30 + 22) + 18 = 52 + 18 = 70
Here, we have used associative property.

Question 5.
Using distributive property, solve the following:
(а) 360 x 102
(b) 35 x 98
Solution:
(a) 36 x 102 = 36 x (100 + 2)
= 36 x 100 + 36 x 2
= -36000 + 72 = 36072
(b) 35 x 98 = 35 x (100 – 2) = 35 x 100 – 35 x 2
= 3500 – 70 = 3430

Question 6.

A dealer purchased 124 LED sets. If the cost of one set is ₹38,540, determine their total cost.
Solution:
Total cost of 124 LED sets = ₹(38,540 x 124)
= ₹ [38,540 x (100 + 20 + 4)] = ₹ [38,540 x 100 + 38,540 x 20 + 38,540 x 4] = ₹ [38,54,000 + 7,70,800 + 1,54,160] = ₹ 47,789,60

Question 19.
Find the product of the greatest 3-digit number and the greatest 2-digit number.
Solution:
Greatest 3-digit number = 999
Greatest 2-digit number = 99
∴ Product = 999 x 99 = 999 x (100 – 1)
= 999 x 100 – 999 x 1
= 99900 – 999 = 98901

Question 21.
320 km distance is to be covered partially by bus and partially by train. Bus covers 180 km distance with a speed of 40 km/h and the rest of the distance is covered by the train at a speed of 70 km/h. Find the time taken by a passenger to cover the whole distance.
Solution:
Total distance = 320 km
Distance covered by the bus = 180 km
Speed of the bus = 40 km/h

Distance covered by the train = 320 – 180 = 140 km.
Speed of the train = 70 km/h
∴ Time taken by the train

Hence, the total time taken by the passenger
= \(\frac { 9 }{ 2 }\) hours + 2 hours
= 4 hours 30 min + 2 hours
= 6 hours 30 min

Question 22.
Solve the following and establish a pattern:
(a) 84 x 9
(b) 84 x 99
(c) 84 x 999
(d) 84 x 9999
Solution:
(a) 84 x 9 = 84 x (10 – 1) = 84 x 10 – 84 x 1 = 840 – 84 = 756
(b) 84 x 99 = 84 x (100 – 1) = 84 x 100 – 84 x 1 = 8400 – 84 = 8316
(c) 84 x 999 = 84 x (1000 – 1) = 84 x 1000 – 84 x 1 = 84000 – 84 = 83916
(d) 84 x 9999 = 84 x (10000 – 1) = 84 x 10000 – 84 x 1 = 840000 – 84 = 839916

Question 24.
Ramesh buys 10 containers of juice from one shop and 18 containers of the same juice from another shop. If the capacity of each container is same and the cost of each of the container is ₹150, find the total money spend by Ramesh.
Solution:
Ramesh buys 10 containers from one shop Cost of 1 container = ₹150
He buys 18 containers of the same capacity from another shop.
Cost of 1 container = ₹150
∴ Total money spent by Ramesh
= ₹ [10 x 150 + 18 x 150] = ₹150 x (10 + 18)
= ₹150 x 28
= ₹4200

Question 29.
A housing complex built by DLF consists of 25 large buildings and 40 small buildings. Each large building has 15 floors with 4 apartments on each floor and each small building has 9 floors with 3 apartments on each floor. How many apartments are there in all?
Solution:
Number of large buildings = 25
Number of floors = 15
Number of apartments on each floor = 4
∴ Total number of apartments in large buildings = 25 x 15 x 4
Number of small building = 40
Number of floors = 9
Number of apartments on each floor = 3
∴ Total number of apartments in small buildings = 40 x 9 x 3
Hence, the number of apartments in all = 25 x 15 x 4 + 40 x 9 x 3 = 1500 + 1080 = 2580.

Question 30.
A school principal places orders for 85 chairs and 25 tables with a dealer. Each chair cost ₹180 and each table cost ₹140. If the principal has given ₹2500 to the dealer as an advance money, then what amount to be given to the dealer now?
Solution:
Number of chairs = 85
Cost of one chair = ₹ 180
Cost of 85 chairs = ₹ (85 x 180)
Number of tables = 25
Cost of one table = ₹ 140
Cost of 25 tables = ₹ (25 x 140)
Total cost of all chairs and tables = ₹(85 x 180 + 25 x 140)
= ₹ (15300 + 3500) = ₹ 18800
Money given in advance = ₹ 2500
∴ Balance money to be paid to the dealer = ₹ 18800 – ₹ 2500 = ₹ 16300
