Question 1.A book exhibition was held
for four days in a school. The number of tickets sold at the counter on the
first, second, third and final day was respectively 1094, 1812, 2050 and 2751.
Find the total number of tickets sold on all the four days.
Solution:
Number of tickets sold on the
first day = 1094
Number of tickets sold on the
second day = 1812
Number of tickets sold on the
third day = 2050
Number of tickets sold on the
final day = 2751
∴
Total number of tickets sold on all the four days = 1094 + 1812 + 2050 +
2751 = 7,707.
Question
2.Shekhar is a famous cricket
player. He has so far scored 6980 runs in test matches. He wishes to complete
10,000 runs. How many more runs does he need?
Solution:
Shekhar has so far scored
6980 runs
He wishes to complete 10,000
runs.
Therefore total number of
runs needed by him = 10,000 – 6980 = 3020 runs
Question
3.In an election, the
successful candidate registered 5,77,500 votes and his nearest rival secured
3,48,700 votes. By what margin did the successful candidate win the election?
Solution:
Number of votes secured by
the successful candidate = 5,77,500
Number of votes secured by
his nearest rival = 3,48,700
Therefore, margin of votes to
win the election = 5,77,500 – 3,48,700 = 2,28,800
Question
4.Kirti bookstore sold books
worth ₹2,85,891
in the first week of June and books worth ₹4,00,768 in the second week of the
month. How much was the sale for the two weeks together? In which week was the
sale greater
and by how much?
Solution:
Books sold in first week of
June worth ₹2,85,891
Books sold in second week of
the month worth ₹4,00,768
Therefore, total sale of
books in the two weeks together
= ₹2,85,891
+ ₹4,00,768 = ₹6,86,659
In the second week of the
month, the sale of books was greater.
Difference of the sale of
books
= ₹4,00,768
– ₹2,85,891 = ₹1,14,877
Hence, in second week of june, the
sale of books was more by ₹1,14,877.
