Kirti bookstore sold books worth Rs 2,85,891 in the first week of June and books worth Rs 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?
Sol: Let’s solve this step by step:
Step 1: Find the total sales for the two weeks together. Total sales = Sales in the first week + Sales in the second week Total sales = Rs 2,85,891 + Rs 4,00,768
Step 2: Add the sales figures: Total sales = Rs 2,85,891 + Rs 4,00,768 = Rs 6,86,659
So, the total sales for the two weeks together were Rs 6,86,659.
Step 3: Determine which week had the greater sales and find the difference. Sales in the first week = Rs 2,85,891 Sales in the second week = Rs 4,00,768
To find which week had the greater sales, compare the two sales figures:
- Sales in the first week: Rs 2,85,891
- Sales in the second week: Rs 4,00,768
Clearly, the second week had the greater sales.
Step 4: Find the difference in sales between the two weeks: Difference = Sales in the second week – Sales in the first-week Difference = Rs 4,00,768 – Rs 2,85,891
Step 5: Calculate the difference: Difference = Rs 1,14,877
So, the sale in the second week was greater than the sale in the first week by Rs 1,14,877.

A merchant had Rs 78,592 with her. She placed an order for purchasing 40 radio sets at Rs 1200 each. How much money will remain with her after the purchase?
Sol:
Step 1: Find the total cost of purchasing 40 radio sets.
- Cost per radio set = Rs 1200
- Number of radio sets = 40
Total cost = Cost per radio set x Number of radio sets Total cost = Rs 1200 x 40
Step 2: Calculate the total cost: Total cost = Rs 48,000
Step 3: Subtract the total cost from the initial amount the merchant had.
- Initial amount = Rs 78,592
- Total cost of radio sets = Rs 48,000
Remaining amount = Initial amount – Total cost of radio sets Remaining amount = Rs 78,592 – Rs 48,000
Step 4: Calculate the remaining amount: Remaining amount = Rs 30,592
So, the merchant will have Rs 30,592 left after purchasing 40 radio sets at Rs 1200 each.
Page No 17: Question 8:
A student multiplied 7236 by 65 instead of multiplying by 56. By how much was his answer greater than the correct answer? (Hint: Do you need to do both the multiplications?)
Sol:
You don’t need to do both multiplications to find the difference between the student’s answer and the correct answer. You can calculate it directly.
Student’s multiplication: 7236 x 65 Correct multiplication: 7236 x 56
Now, calculate the difference:
Difference = (Student’s multiplication) – (Correct multiplication) Difference = (7236 x 65) – (7236 x 56)
You can see that both expressions have a common factor of 7236, so you can factor it out:
Difference = 7236 x (65 – 56)
Now, calculate the difference:
Difference = 7236 x (9) = 65,124
So, the student’s answer was greater than the correct answer by 65,124.

To stitch a shirt, 2m 15 cm cloth is needed. Out of 40 m cloth, how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will remain? (Hint: convert data in cm.)
Sol:
2 meters 15 centimeters = 215 centimeters (1 meter = 100 centimeters)
40 meters = 40 x 100 = 4000 centimeters
Cloth needed for one shirt = 215 centimeters
Number of shirts that can be made from 4000 centimeters = 4000 ÷ 215
Therefore, 18 shirts can be made, and there will be 130 centimeters (or 1 meter 30 centimeters) of cloth remaining.
Page No 17: Question 10:
Medicine is packed in boxes, each weighing 4 kg 500 g. How many such boxes can be loaded in a van that cannot carry beyond 800 kg?
Sol:
Each box weighs 4 kg 500 g, which is equivalent to 4.5 kg.
Now, calculate how many such boxes can be loaded:
Number of boxes = Total weight the van can carry / Weight of each box
Number of boxes = 800 kg / 4.5 kg per box
Number of boxes = 177.78
Since you cannot have a fraction of a box, you can load a maximum of 177 boxes in the van without exceeding the weight limit of 800 kg.
Page No 17: Question 11:
The distance between the school and the house of a student’s house is 1 km 875 m. Everyday she walks both ways. Find the total distance covered by her in six days.
Sol:
To find the total distance covered by the student in six days, we’ll first calculate the distance covered in one round trip (to school and back) and then multiply it by the number of days.
Distance between school and home = 1 km 875 m = 1875 meters (1 km = 1000 m)
Distance covered in one round trip (to school and back) = 2 times the distance between school and home: 2 * 1875 meters = 3750 meters
Now, calculate the total distance covered by the student in six days: Total distance covered = Distance covered in one round trip * Number of round trips in six days
Total distance covered = 3750 meters * 6 days
Total distance covered = 22,500 meters
Therefore, distance covered in 6 days = 22,500 m
= 22.5 km or 22 km 500 m

A vessel has 4 litres and 500 ml of curd. In how many glasses, each of 25 ml capacity, can it be filled?
Sol:
To find out how many glasses, each with a 25 ml capacity, can be filled with 4 litres and 500 ml of curd, you need to convert the volume of curd to milliliters and then divide it by the capacity of each glass.
1 liter = 1000 ml
So, 4 liters = 4 x 1000 ml = 4000 ml
Now, add 500 ml to this:
4000 ml + 500 ml = 4500 ml
Now, divide the total volume of curd (4500 ml) by the capacity of each glass (25 ml):
Number of glasses = Total volume of curd / Capacity of each glass Number of glasses = 4500 ml / 25 ml/glass
Number of glasses = 180
So, you can fill 180 glasses, each with a 25 ml capacity, with 4 liters and 500 ml of curd.
