Therefore, Smallest digit : 2

26724 = 2 + 6 + 7 + 2 + 4 = 21
Largest digit : 8
86724 = 8 + 6 + 7 + 2 + 4 = 27
(b) We know that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all digits is divisible by 3.
Therefore, Smallest digit : 0

476502 = 4 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 0 + 2 = 24
Largest digit : 9
476592 = 4 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 0 + 2 = 33

Write the smallest digit and the largest digit in the blanks space of each of the following
numbers so that the number formed is divisibly by 11:
(a) 92 __________ 389
(b) 8 __________ 9484
Answer 6:
(a) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits
at odd places and that of even places should be either 0 or 11.
Therefore, 928389
Odd places = 9 + 8 + 8 = 25
Even places = 2 + 3 + 9 = 14
Difference
= 25 14 = 11
(b) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits
at odd places and that of even places should be either 0 or 11.
Therefore, 869484
Odd places = 8 + 9 + 8 = 25
Even places = 6 + 4 + 4 = 14
Difference = 25 14 = 11

Question 4:
Determine the smallest 3-digit number which is exactly divisible by 6, 8 and 12.
Answer 4:
L.C.M. of 6, 8 and 12 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
The smallest 3-digit number = 100
To find the number, we have to divide 100 by 24
100 = 24 x 4 + 4
Therefore, the required number = 100 + (24 4) = 120.

Question 6:
The traffic lights at three different road crossings change after every 48 seconds, 72
seconds and 108 seconds respectively. If they change simultaneously at 7 a.m. at what
time will they change simultaneously again?
Answer 6:
L.C.M. of 48, 72, 108 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 432 sec.
After 432 seconds, the lights change simultaneously.
432 second = 7 minutes 12 seconds
Therefore the time
= 7 a.m. + 7 minutes 12 seconds
= 7:07:12 a.m.

Question 1:
What is the disadvantage in comparing line segments by mere observation?
Answer 1:
There may be chance of error due to improper viewing.
Question 2:
Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?
Answer 2:
It is better to use a divider than a ruler, because the thickness of the ruler may cause
difficulties in reading off her length. However divider gives up accurate measurement.
Question 3:
Draw any line segment, say AB. Take any point C lying in between A and B. Measure the
lengths of AB, BC and AC. Is AB = AC + CB?
[Note: If A, B, C are any three points on a line, such that AC + CB = AB, then we can be sure
that C lies between A and B.]
Answer 3:
Yes.
AB = 6.5 cm, AC = 3cm, CB = 3.5 cm
AC + CB = 3 cm + 3.5 cm = 6.5 cm = AB

Ramesh:
Total pencils = 20
Pencils used = 10
Fraction =
Sheelu:
10 1
20 2
Total pencils = 50
Pencils used = 25
Fraction =
Jamaal:

The lid of a rectangular box of sides 40 cm by 10 cm is sealed all round with tape. What is
the length of the tape required?
Answer 2:
Total length of tape required = Perimeter of rectangle
= 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 (40 + 10)
= 2 x 50

Question 3:
Draw a circle and any two of its diameters. If you join the ends of these diameters, what
is the figure obtained if the diameters are perpendicular to each other? How do you check
your answer?
Answer 3:
(i)
By joining the ends of two diameters, we get a rectangle. By

measuring, we find AB = CD = 3 cm, BC = AD = 2 cm,
i.e., pairs of opposite sides are equal and also A =
B = C = D = 90 , , i.e. each angle is of 90 .
Hence, it is a rectangle.
(ii)
If the diameters are perpendicular to each other,

then by joining the ends of two diameters, we get
a square.
By measuring, we find that AB = BC = CD = DA =
2.5 cm, i.e., all four sides are equal.
Also A = B = C = D = 90 , , i.e. each angle
is of 90 .
Hence, it is a square.
