Question 11. If  I want to reach number 7 on the number line from number 1, then how many steps do I need to move considering each 1 unit as 1 step.
  1.    5
  2.    4
  3.    6
  4.    7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 6
:
C
The distance between any two consecutive numbers is 1 unit. So the distance between number 1 and 7 is 6 units.
We can write it as = 7 - (+1)
= 6
So, Ineed to move 6 steps to reach number 7 from number 1.

  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
All natural numbers are whole numbers. When zero is included in the list of natural numbers it becomes a set ofwhole numbers.

49 Dots Can Be Arranged To Form a Square. Is It True Or Fal...
If any number is a perfect square then we can form a square with that number.
Question 14. The predecessor of any number can be obtained by __ one from it.
  1.    subtracting
  2.    adding
  3.    multiplying
  4.    dividing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> subtracting
:
A
The predecessor of any number is the number that comes immediately before that number. The predecessor of any number can be obtained by subtracting one from it.
Question 15. Which of the following statements are correct?
i) 0 + 2 is a whole number.
ii) 0 ÷ 49843 is a not a whole number.
iii)  98645 × 5678 = 5678 × 98645
  1.    i, ii and iii 
  2.    i only
  3.    i and iii only
  4.    ii only
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> i and iii only
:
C
i)0 + 2 = 2 which is a whole number. Also, whole numbers are closed under addition.
ii)0 ÷ 49843 = 0 which is a whole number.
iii)98645 × 5678 = 5678 × 98645
This represents commutative property of multiplication.
Question 16. Rahul says to Shyam that any number divided by zero is undefined. Is the statement given by Rahul is correct?
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
If you divide something by 2 you divide that thing into 2 parts. If you divide something by 4 you divide that thing into 4 parts. Now if you divide something by 0, you cannot divide that thing into 0 parts. So a division by 0 is undefined and Rahulis correct.
Question 17. 117 + 9 = 117 + 10 - 1 = 127 - 1
Is the above expression is correct?
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Yes it is correct.
9 can be written as 10 - 1
So 117 + 9 = 117 + 10 - 1
Again (117+ 10) = 127, so (117+ 10) - 1= 127 - 1
Question 18. The set of counting numbers starting with 1 and continuing 2,3,4.....and so on are called _____.
  1.    Natural Numbers
  2.    Whole Numbers
  3.    Integers
  4.    Composite Numbers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Natural Numbers
:
A
The set of counting numbers starting with 1 and continuing 2,3,4.....and so on arecalled Natural Numbers.
Question 19. How many whole numbers are there between 9876 and 9900?
  1.    24
  2.    25
  3.    23
  4.    26
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 23
:
C
The number of whole numbers between any two numbers
= (thedifference between the numbers) -1.
The difference between 9900 - 9876 is 24 and 24 -1 = 23.

So, there are 23 whole numbers are there between 9876 and 9900.
Question 20. A cat is at number 3. A rat is at number 10. Assuming both are standing on a number line, how far is the rat from the cat?
  1.    5
  2.    4
  3.    3
  4.    7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 7
:
D
The difference between two consecutive numbers is 1 and let's consider this difference to be a one step.
The catis at number 3 and the ratis at number 10. Thedifference between 10 and 3 is 7, therefore the rat is 7 steps away from the cat.
