Answers

1. Number of tickets sold on first day = 1,094

Number of tickets sold on second day = 1,812
Number of tickets sold on third day = 2,050
Number of tickets sold on fourth day = + 2,751
Total tickets sold = 7,707
Therefore, 7,707 tickets were sold on all the four days.

2. Runs to achieve = 10,000

Runs scored = – 6,980
Runs required = 3,020
Therefore, he needs 3,020 more runs.

3. Number of votes secured by successful candidates = 5,77,500

Number of votes secured by his nearest rival = – 3,48,700
Margin between them = 2,28,800
Therefore, the successful candidate won by a margin of 2,28,800 votes.

4. Books sold in first week = 2,85,891

Books sold in second week = + 4,00,768
Total books sold = 6,86,659
Since, 4,00,768,> 2,85,891
Therefore sale of second week is greater than that of first week.
Books sold in second week = 4,00,768
Books sold in first week = – 2,85,891
More books sold in second week = 1,14,877
Therefore, 1,14,877 more books were sold in second week.

5. Greatest five-digit number using digits 6,2,7,4,3 = 76432

Smallest five-digit number using digits 6,2,7,4,3 = – 23467
Difference = 52965
Therefore the difference is 52965.

6. Number of screws manufactured in one day = 2,825

Number of days in the month of January (31 days) = 2,825 x 31
= 87,575
Therefore the machine produced 87,575 screws in the month of January.

7. Cost of one radio = ` 1200
Cost of 40 radios = 1200 x 40 = ` 48,000
Now, Total money with merchant = ` 78,592
Money spent by her = – ` 48,000
Money left with her = ` 30,592
Therefore, ` 30,592 will remain with her after the purchase.

8. Wrong answer = 7236 x 65 Correct answer = 7236 x 56

7236 7236
x 65 x 56
36180 43416
43416 x 36180 x
470340 405216

Difference in answers = 470340 – 405216

= 65,124

9. Cloth required to stitch one shirt = 2 m 15 cm

= 2 x 100 cm + 15 cm
= 215 cm
Length of cloth = 40 m = 40 x 100 cm = 4000 cm
Number of shirts can be stitched = 4000 ÷ 215
18
215 4000
− 215
1850
−1720
130
Therefore, 18 shirts can be stitched and 130 cm (1 m 30 cm) cloth will remain.

10. The weight of one box = 4 kg 500 g = 4 x 1000 g + 500 g = 4500 g

Maximum load can be loaded in van = 800 kg = 800 x 1000 g = 800000 g
Number of boxes = 800000 ÷ 4500

Therefore, 177 boxes can be loaded.
11. Distance between school and home = 1.875 km
Distance between home and school = + 1.875 km
Total distance covered in one day = 3.750 km
Distance covered in six days = 3.750 x 6 = 22.500 km
Therefore, 22 km 500 m distance covered in six days.

12. Capacity of curd in a vessel = 4 liters 500 ml = 4 x 1000 ml + 500 ml = 4500 ml

Capacity of one glass = 25 ml
Number of glasses can be filled = 4500 ÷ 25
