Question 42.


Which one of the following is greater? [2 MARKS]


a) 37 and 35


b) 58 and 12


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each part: 1 Mark
(a) LCM of 7 and 5 is 35 
37=3×57×5=1535
35=3×75×7=2135
Clearly,  2135 is greater than 1535
Hence, 35 is greater than 37
(b) LCM of 8 and 2 is 8 
58=5×18×1=58
12=1×42×4=48
Clearly, 58 is greater than 48
Hence, 58 is greater than 12


Question 43.


(a) A piece of wire 78 metre long broke into two pieces. One piece was 14 metre long. How long is the other piece? [3 MARKS]
(b) Sarita bought 25 meters of ribbon and Lalita 34 metre of ribbon. What is the total length of the ribbon they bought?
(c) Simplify: 814256


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each option: 1 Mark


(a) Length of the other piece = Total length of the wire - Length of the given piece
(7814)m 
(728)m
= (58)m
(b) Total length of ribbon = Length of ribbon bought by Sarita  + Length of ribbon bought by Lalita
25+34
8+1520
2320
=  (1320)m
(c)  814256334176

(b)  What is the product of 6729 and its reciprocal?


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each option: 1 Mark
(a) Given pizza has 4 slices


Pizza slices left in total = 3


Fraction of pizza slices left= 34
(b) 6729×7296=1 ( product of a fraction and its reciprocal is always 1)


Question 45.


In a match of 50 overs, the team batting second was given a target of 310.They lost the match by 10 runs. The team batting second i.e. the losing team, scored one-half of their runs in 30 overs and next five overs they scored one-half of the remaining runs. Later in the next 8 overs, they scored  15th of the remaining runs. In last seven overs, they scored the remaining runs. How many runs did they score in last seven overs?  
[3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Total runs scored by the team that lost = 300
Now, total no. of overs played by them = 50
That is in 30 overs, this team scored =3002
=150 runs
The balance 300 - 150 = 150 runs were scored by this team in balance 20 overs.
By the given condition,
In the next 5 overs, 12 of 150 runs
= 75 runs were scored.
150 runs - 75 runs = 75 runs are still in balance.
Again in the next 8 overs.
15 of 75 = 15 runs were scored.
Now No. of overs left = 20 - (5 + 8)
20 - 13 = 7
In seven overs, runs scored will be 75 - 15 = 60.


Question 46.


Mena finished colouring a picture in 715 hour; Vaibhav finished colouring the same picture in 25 hours. Who worked longer? By what fraction was it longer? [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Steps: 1 Mark
Difference in fractions: 1 Mark
Solution: 1 Mark
Time taken by Mena = 
715 hr


Time taken by Vaibhav
25 hr=2×35×3=615
Clearly, 715>615
Vaibhav worked longer.


Time for which Vaibhav has worked more
= 71525=7615=115 hrs longer.


Question 47.


(a) Last month, Shakshi and Shashank sold candy to raise money for their debate team. Shashank sold 25 as much candy as Shakshi did. If Shakshi sold 3 boxes of candy, how many boxes of candy did Shashank sell? [4 MARKS]
(b) Naina was given 112 piece of cake and Najma was given 113 piece of cake. Find the total amount of cake that was given to both of them.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each part: 2 Marks
(a) Shashank sold 25 times 3 boxes of candy  25×3
Simplify the product 65=115
Shashank sold 115 boxes of candy.
(b) Total mount of cake = Naina's share  of cake + Najma's share of cake
=  112+113
=  32+43
9+86
116
=  156


Question 48.


Car A covers 5.5 km in 4 litres of petrol and another car B covers 1800 metres in 1 litre of petrol. Calculate the mileage per litre of petrol,  Now calculate which car travels more and by how much distance compared to the other?  [4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Concept: 1 Mark
Application: 3 Marks
Distance covered by car A in 4 litres of petrol is 5500m.


Distance covered by car A in 1 litre of petrol =(5500÷4)= 1375m.


Distance covered by car B in 1 litre of petrol = 1800m.


So car B travels more compared to car A


Difference = 1800-1375 = 425m
Car B travels  425m  more than car A


Question 49.


What are proper fractions, improper fractions and mixed fractions? Give Example for each. [4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Definitions: 3 Marks
Example: 1 Mark
Saurabh should answer-
Proper Fraction: The fractions in which the numerator is less than the denominator are called proper fractions.
                                   e.g. 13,34,21793
Improper Fraction: The fractions in which the numerator is greater than (or equal to) the denominator are called proper fractions.
                                   e.g. 43,94,229

Mixed  Fraction: A whole number and a proper fraction mixed together is called a mixed fraction.
                                   e.g. 213,134,3293


Question 50.


The length of the shaded rectangle is (1/10) of the bigger rectangle and its breadth is 0.001 times the bigger rectangle . If the area of the bigger rectangle is 10000 m2. Find the area of the shaded rectangle. [4 MARKS]

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Let the length and breadth of the bigger rectangle be am and bm respectively


Then, the length of the shaded rectangle is (0.1 a)m.


Then, the breadth of the shaded rectangle is (0.001 b)m.


Area of the given bigger rectangle = ab metres. = 10000 m2


Area of the shaded rectangle = (0.1a) × (0.001b)


= (0.0001) × (ab)


= (0.0001) × (10000)


= 1m2
