84932

Discuss Question

Answer: Option A. -> 84942
:
A

The largest number formed by using the given digits is 97421 and the smallest digit number formed is 12479. So the difference between them can be calculated as,
97421 - 12479 = 84942.

Question 53.

Vignesh bought 10 notebooks from the market and the cost was Rs.10 per notebook. Gautam got 7 notebooks of the same type.

A: Vignesh calculated the total amount like this: $10 \times 10 + 10 \times 7 = R s .170$

B: Gautam calculated the total amount like this: $(10 + 7) \times 10 = R s . 170$
Which of the method is correct?

Vignesh's method is correct.
Gautam's method is correct.
Vignesh's method is wrong
Gautam's method is wrong.

Discuss Question

Answer: Option A. -> Vignesh's method is correct.
:
A and B

Total cost can be calculated as

By first calculating the cost of individual purchase of both Vignesh and Gautam and then adding them
i.e. $10 \times 10 + 10 \times 7 = R s .170$

First, calculate the total number of notebooks and then find the total cost

i.e. $(10 + 7) \times 10 = R s . 170$
Hence, both the methods are correct.

Question 59.

What is the value of XXX + XL?

Discuss Question

Answer: Option C. -> LXX
:
C

We know that X = 10 and L = 50.
When a Roman numeral with the larger value is on the left, we add the values together and when it is on the right, we subtract the values.
$∴$ XL = 40
Also, XXX = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30.
$∴$ XXX + XL = 40 + 30 = 70
But, 70 = 50 + 10 + 10 = L + X + X = LXX.
$∴$ XXX + XL = LXX
