Answer: Option C. -> 2007
:
C

1017 and 997 are like fractions as they have the same denominator. 
Hence, we can directly add the numerators keeping the denominator as it is.
1017+997=101+997=2007

Question 23.


If a train consists of 24 compartments of equal length (including the engine car), then the length of one compartment is 124 of the full length of the train


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     2007
  4.     2017
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Let us take the full length of the train as L.


24 compartments---------------L


1 compartment--------------= 124×L


Question 24.


Between 58 and 118, how many fractions lie on the number line?


  1.     5
  2.     6
  3.     7
  4.     Infinite  
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Infinite  
:
D

There are infinite fractions on a number line. The two fractions given in the question are two points on the number line. Between these two points, there exists infinite points. So, infinite fractions exist between two points on a number line.


Question 25.


 If 97 and a63 are equivalent fractions, what is the value of a ?


__
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Infinite  
:

If 97 and a63 are equivalent fractions,then 9 x 63 = a x 7.


Solving, we get a = 81.


Question 26.


If you subtract 1553 from 1732, you will get 


  1.     156
  2.     167
  3.     176
  4.     186
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 156
:
A

Let us first convert the mixed fractions 1553 and 1732 to improper fractions.
i.e.,  1553=15×3+53=503 and 1732=17×2+33=372
Now, 17321553=372503=1111006=116=156


Question 27.


Improper fraction is defined as the fraction whose numerator is __ than its denominator.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 156
:

When numerator of a fraction is greater than its denominator, it is known as the improper fraction.


Question 28.


Find which of the following are the pairs of like fractions:


1. 4560 and 4590


2. 157 and 957


3. 117 and 99937


4. 32 and 23


  1.     1, 2 and 3    
  2.     2 and 3   
  3.     1 and 3  
  4.     2, 3 and 4    
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2 and 3   
:
B

For like fractions, the denominators should be the same.


Question 29.


In a 5 km marathon, Manish ran 2 km. If Kushagra ran 12 of the total distance of the marathon, who ran more?


  1.     Kushagra
  2.     Manish
  3.     Both covered the same distance  
  4.     Insufficient data
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Kushagra
:
A

Total distance to be covered =  5 km
Distance covered by Manish = 2 km
Fraction of the distance covered by Manish
25 


Fraction of the distance covered by Kushagra =12


To compare these fractions, we write them as like fractions.
25=2×25×2=410
12=1×52×5=510

Since 410<510,
25<12
Therefore, Kushagra ran more.


Question 30.


There are  40 animals in a zoo out of which 10 animals have been recently transferred from another zoo. What is the fraction of animals that were already present at the zoo?


  1.     14
  2.     24
  3.     34
  4.     44
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 34
:
C

Old animals = 40 - 10 = 30


Fraction of old animals presently in the zoo = 3040=34
