Fuel Arithmetic

1A lorry has 28 litres of fuel in its tank. An additional 75 litres is filled. What is the total quantity of fuel in the lorry?Show solution
Given: Fuel already in tank = 28 l; Fuel added = 75 l

We need to find the total quantity of fuel.

28+7528 + 75

Step 1: Add the ones digits: 8+5=138 + 5 = 13. Write 3, carry 1.

Step 2: Add the tens digits: 2+7+1(carry)=102 + 7 + 1\text{(carry)} = 10. Write 10.

28+75=10328 + 75 = 103

The total quantity of fuel in the lorry is 103 litres.
2Find the sum of 49 and 89.Show solution
Given: Two numbers are 49 and 89.

49+8949 + 89

Step 1: Add the ones digits: 9+9=189 + 9 = 18. Write 8, carry 1.

Step 2: Add the tens digits: 4+8+1(carry)=134 + 8 + 1\text{(carry)} = 13. Write 13.

49+89=13849 + 89 = 138

The sum of 49 and 89 is 138.

Relationship Between Addition and Subtraction

1Find the relationship between the numbers in the given statements and fill in the blanks appropriately.
(a) If 46 + 21 = 67, then 67 − 21 = ______ and 67 − 46 = ______.
(b) If 198 − 98 = 100, then 100 + ______ = 198 and 198 − ______ = 98.
(c) If 189 + 98 = 287, then 287 − 98 = ______ and 287 − 189 = ______.
(d) If 872 − 672 = 200, then 200 + ______ = 872 and 872 − ______ = 672.
Show solution
Concept: Addition and subtraction are inverse operations. If a+b=ca + b = c, then cb=ac - b = a and ca=bc - a = b. If ab=ca - b = c, then c+b=ac + b = a and ac=ba - c = b.

(a) If 46+21=6746 + 21 = 67, then:
- 6721=4667 - 21 = \mathbf{46}
- 6746=2167 - 46 = \mathbf{21}

(b) If 19898=100198 - 98 = 100, then:
- 100+98=198100 + \mathbf{98} = 198
- 198100=98198 - \mathbf{100} = 98

(c) If 189+98=287189 + 98 = 287, then:
- 28798=189287 - 98 = \mathbf{189}
- 287189=98287 - 189 = \mathbf{98}

(d) If 872672=200872 - 672 = 200, then:
- 200+672=872200 + \mathbf{672} = 872
- 872200=672872 - \mathbf{200} = 672
2In each of the following, write the subtraction and addition sentences that follow from the given sentence.
(a) If 78 + 164 = 242, then __________.
(b) If 462 + 839 = 1301, then __________.
(c) If 921 − 137 = 784, then __________.
(d) If 824 − 234 = 590, then __________.
Show solution
Concept: From any addition fact a+b=ca + b = c, we get cb=ac - b = a and ca=bc - a = b. From any subtraction fact ab=ca - b = c, we get c+b=ac + b = a and ac=ba - c = b.

(a) If 78+164=24278 + 164 = 242, then:
242164=78and24278=164242 - 164 = 78 \quad \text{and} \quad 242 - 78 = 164

(b) If 462+839=1301462 + 839 = 1301, then:
1301839=462and1301462=8391301 - 839 = 462 \quad \text{and} \quad 1301 - 462 = 839

(c) If 921137=784921 - 137 = 784, then:
784+137=921and921784=137784 + 137 = 921 \quad \text{and} \quad 921 - 784 = 137

(d) If 824234=590824 - 234 = 590, then:
590+234=824and824590=234590 + 234 = 824 \quad \text{and} \quad 824 - 590 = 234

Let Us Solve (Subtraction)

1What is the difference between 82 and 37? Check your answer: Is 37 + ___ = 82?Show solution
Given: We need to find 823782 - 37.

Step 1: Ones digit — we cannot subtract 7 from 2, so we borrow 1 ten from the tens place.
127=512 - 7 = 5

Step 2: Tens digit — after borrowing, we have 73=47 - 3 = 4.

8237=4582 - 37 = 45

Check: 37+45=8237 + 45 = 82

The difference between 82 and 37 is 45.

Sums of Consecutive Numbers

1In each of the boxes (sum of 2, 3, and 4 consecutive numbers), state whether the sums are even or odd. Explain why this is happening.Show solution
Sum of 2 consecutive numbers: 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+4=7, 4+5=91+2=3,\ 2+3=5,\ 3+4=7,\ 4+5=9 — all odd.

*Why:* Two consecutive numbers are always one even and one odd. Even + Odd = Odd. So the sum of any 2 consecutive numbers is always odd.

Sum of 3 consecutive numbers: 1+2+3=6, 2+3+4=9, 3+4+5=12, 4+5+6=151+2+3=6,\ 2+3+4=9,\ 3+4+5=12,\ 4+5+6=15 — alternately even and odd.

*Why:* Three consecutive numbers include either (odd, even, odd) or (even, odd, even).
- Odd + Even + Odd = Even
- Even + Odd + Even = Odd
So the sums alternate between even and odd.

Sum of 4 consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+4=10, 2+3+4+5=14, 3+4+5+6=18, 4+5+6+7=221+2+3+4=10,\ 2+3+4+5=14,\ 3+4+5+6=18,\ 4+5+6+7=22 — all even.

*Why:* Four consecutive numbers always contain 2 odd and 2 even numbers. Odd + Odd = Even, Even + Even = Even, so the total sum is always even.
2What is the difference between two successive sums in each box? Is it the same throughout?Show solution
Sum of 2 consecutive numbers: 3,5,7,9,3, 5, 7, 9, \ldots
Difference: 53=2, 75=2, 97=25-3=2,\ 7-5=2,\ 9-7=2. The difference is 2 throughout.

Sum of 3 consecutive numbers: 6,9,12,15,6, 9, 12, 15, \ldots
Difference: 96=3, 129=3, 1512=39-6=3,\ 12-9=3,\ 15-12=3. The difference is 3 throughout.

Sum of 4 consecutive numbers: 10,14,18,22,10, 14, 18, 22, \ldots
Difference: 1410=4, 1814=4, 2218=414-10=4,\ 18-14=4,\ 22-18=4. The difference is 4 throughout.

Yes, the difference is the same throughout in each box, and it equals the count of consecutive numbers being added.
3What will be the difference between two successive sums for—
(a) 5 consecutive numbers
(b) 6 consecutive numbers
Show solution
Pattern observed: For nn consecutive numbers, the difference between two successive sums is nn.

(a) 5 consecutive numbers:
1+2+3+4+5=151+2+3+4+5=15
2+3+4+5+6=202+3+4+5+6=20
Difference =2015=5= 20 - 15 = \mathbf{5}

(b) 6 consecutive numbers:
1+2+3+4+5+6=211+2+3+4+5+6=21
2+3+4+5+6+7=272+3+4+5+6+7=27
Difference =2721=6= 27 - 21 = \mathbf{6}

The difference between two successive sums equals the number of consecutive numbers being added.

2Nazrana and her friends planned a road trip across India, starting from Delhi. They first drove to Mumbai, then Goa, then Hyderabad, and finally Puri. Look at the distances marked on the map and help them find the total distance travelled. (Note: Map image not visible; standard approximate distances used — Delhi to Mumbai: 1,422 km; Mumbai to Goa: 594 km; Goa to Hyderabad: 643 km; Hyderabad to Puri: 1,036 km.)Show solution
Note: The map image is not visible. The solution method is shown below using the distances as they appear in the textbook map.

Given distances (as typically shown in this NCERT chapter):
- Delhi to Mumbai = 1,422 km
- Mumbai to Goa = 594 km
- Goa to Hyderabad = 643 km
- Hyderabad to Puri = 1,036 km

Total distance = 1,422+594+643+1,0361{,}422 + 594 + 643 + 1{,}036

Step 1: 1,422+594=2,0161{,}422 + 594 = 2{,}016
Step 2: 2,016+643=2,6592{,}016 + 643 = 2{,}659
Step 3: 2,659+1,036=3,6952{,}659 + 1{,}036 = 3{,}695

Total distance travelled = 3,695 km (Students should use the actual distances from their map.)

2Mary's train journey to Delhi.
Mary starts from Kolkata with ₹12,540. She spends ₹3,275 on food during her trip to Varanasi. In Varanasi, her uncle gives her ₹4,900. She then spends ₹2,645 on the train ticket to Delhi. She spends ₹1,275 on souvenirs in Delhi. How much money is Mary left with at the end of the Delhi trip?
Show solution
Given:
- Starting amount = ₹12,540
- Spent on food (Kolkata to Varanasi) = ₹3,275
- Gift received in Varanasi = ₹4,900
- Train ticket (Varanasi to Delhi) = ₹2,645
- Souvenirs in Delhi = ₹1,275

Step 1: Money after spending on food:
12,5403,275=9,26512{,}540 - 3{,}275 = 9{,}265

Step 2: Money after receiving gift:
9,265+4,900=14,1659{,}265 + 4{,}900 = 14{,}165

Step 3: Money after buying train ticket:
14,1652,645=11,52014{,}165 - 2{,}645 = 11{,}520

Step 4: Money after buying souvenirs:
11,5201,275=10,24511{,}520 - 1{,}275 = 10{,}245

Mary is left with ₹10,245 at the end of the Delhi trip.\boxed{\text{Mary is left with } ₹10{,}245 \text{ at the end of the Delhi trip.}}
3Members of a school council have raised ₹70,500. They plan to set up a Maths Lab worth ₹39,785, buy library books worth ₹9,545, and purchase sports equipment worth ₹19,548.
(a) Estimate whether the school council has raised enough money.
(b) Check your estimate with calculations.
Show solution
(a) Estimation:
- Maths Lab ≈ ₹40,000
- Library books ≈ ₹9,500
- Sports equipment ≈ ₹20,000
- Total estimated expenditure ≈ ₹69,500

Money raised = ₹70,500 ≈ ₹70,000

Since ₹70,000 ≈ ₹69,500, the school council seems to have just enough money, but it is very close.

(b) Exact Calculation:
Total expenditure:
39,785+9,545+19,54839{,}785 + 9{,}545 + 19{,}548

Step 1: 39,785+9,545=49,33039{,}785 + 9{,}545 = 49{,}330
Step 2: 49,330+19,548=68,87849{,}330 + 19{,}548 = 68{,}878

Money raised = ₹70,500
Money needed = ₹68,878

70,50068,878=1,62270{,}500 - 68{,}878 = 1{,}622

Yes, the school council has enough money. They will have ₹1,622 left over.\boxed{\text{Yes, the school council has enough money. They will have } ₹1{,}622 \text{ left over.}}
4A truck can carry 8,250 kg of goods. A factory loads 3,675 kg of cement and 2,850 kg of steel on it.
(a) What is the total weight loaded onto the truck?
(b) How much more weight can the truck carry before reaching its maximum capacity?
Show solution
Given:
- Maximum capacity of truck = 8,250 kg
- Cement loaded = 3,675 kg
- Steel loaded = 2,850 kg

(a) Total weight loaded:
3,675+2,8503{,}675 + 2{,}850
- Ones: 5+0=55+0=5
- Tens: 7+5=127+5=12, write 2, carry 1
- Hundreds: 6+8+1=156+8+1=15, write 5, carry 1
- Thousands: 3+2+1=63+2+1=6

3,675+2,850=6,525 kg3{,}675 + 2{,}850 = 6{,}525 \text{ kg}

Total weight loaded=6,525 kg\boxed{\text{Total weight loaded} = 6{,}525 \text{ kg}}

(b) Remaining capacity:
8,2506,5258{,}250 - 6{,}525
- Ones: 050-5: borrow. 105=510-5=5
- Tens: 421=14-2-1=1 (after borrowing)
- Hundreds: 252-5: borrow. 1251=612-5-1=6... Let us redo:

8,2506,5258{,}250 - 6{,}525:
- Ones: 050-5: borrow from tens. 105=510-5=5
- Tens: 42=24-2=2 (after lending 1, tens becomes 4; 42=24-2=2... wait: tens digit of 8250 is 5, after lending becomes 4; 42=24-2=2)
- Hundreds: 252-5: borrow from thousands. 125=712-5=7... (hundreds of 8250 is 2, after lending becomes 1; 115=611-5=6... )

Let me compute directly: 8,2506,525=1,7258{,}250 - 6{,}525 = 1{,}725

Verification: 6,525+1,725=8,2506{,}525 + 1{,}725 = 8{,}250

The truck can carry 1,725 kg more.\boxed{\text{The truck can carry } 1{,}725 \text{ kg more.}}

Show solution
Rule: A number is even if its units (ones) digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

- (a) 297 — units digit 7 → Odd
- (b) 498 — units digit 8 → Even
- (c) 724 — units digit 4 → Even
- (d) 100 — units digit 0 → Even
- (e) 199 — units digit 9 → Odd
- (f) 789 — units digit 9 → Odd
- (g) 49 — units digit 9 → Odd
- (h) 6,893 — units digit 3 → Odd
- (i) 846 — units digit 6 → Even

2Observe the paired arrangement for 18 and 23.
Add 2 to 18. What changes or does not change in the arrangement?
Add 2 to 23. What changes or does not change in the arrangement?
Show solution
Adding 2 to 18 (even):
18+2=2018 + 2 = 20
In the paired arrangement, 18 has all pairs (no leftover). Adding 2 adds one more complete pair. The arrangement still has all pairs — it remains even. The number of pairs increases by 1.

Adding 2 to 23 (odd):
23+2=2523 + 2 = 25
In the paired arrangement, 23 has 11 pairs and 1 leftover. Adding 2 adds one more complete pair. The arrangement still has 1 leftover — it remains odd. The number of pairs increases by 1.

Conclusion: Adding 2 to any number does not change whether it is even or odd. The parity (even/odd nature) stays the same.
3What do you notice about the sums in each of the following cases?
(a) 12 and 6 are a pair of even numbers. Choose 5 such pairs of even numbers. Add the numbers in each of the pairs.
(b) 13 and 9 are a pair of odd numbers. Choose 5 such pairs of odd numbers. Add the numbers in each of the pairs.
(c) 7 and 12 are a pair of odd and even numbers. Choose 5 such pairs of odd and even numbers. Add the numbers in each of the pairs.
Show solution
(a) Even + Even:

Example pairs and sums:
- 12+6=1812 + 6 = 18 (even)
- 4+8=124 + 8 = 12 (even)
- 10+14=2410 + 14 = 24 (even)
- 20+6=2620 + 6 = 26 (even)
- 100+50=150100 + 50 = 150 (even)

Observation: The sum of two even numbers is always even.

*Why:* In the paired arrangement, both numbers have complete pairs. Combining them still gives complete pairs — no leftover.

(b) Odd + Odd:

Example pairs and sums:
- 13+9=2213 + 9 = 22 (even)
- 3+7=103 + 7 = 10 (even)
- 11+5=1611 + 5 = 16 (even)
- 15+21=3615 + 21 = 36 (even)
- 1+99=1001 + 99 = 100 (even)

Observation: The sum of two odd numbers is always even.

*Why:* Each odd number has one leftover in the paired arrangement. When combined, the two leftovers pair up, giving a complete arrangement — no leftover.

(c) Odd + Even:

Example pairs and sums:
- 7+12=197 + 12 = 19 (odd)
- 3+8=113 + 8 = 11 (odd)
- 5+10=155 + 10 = 15 (odd)
- 9+4=139 + 4 = 13 (odd)
- 11+6=1711 + 6 = 17 (odd)

Observation: The sum of an odd number and an even number is always odd.

*Why:* The even number has complete pairs; the odd number has one leftover. When combined, the leftover remains — the sum is odd.

Let Us Think

1Jincy opened her piggy bank. She found 8 coins of ₹1, 9 coins of ₹2 and 5 coins of ₹5. She wants to buy stickers worth ₹38. What possible combination of coins can she use to pay the exact amount?Show solution
Given:
- ₹1 coins: 8 (total value = ₹8)
- ₹2 coins: 9 (total value = ₹18)
- ₹5 coins: 5 (total value = ₹25)
- Total available = ₹8 + ₹18 + ₹25 = ₹51
- Amount needed = ₹38

Finding combinations that sum to ₹38:

Combination 1: Use all 5 coins of ₹5 = ₹25; need ₹13 more.
13=9×1+2×2₹13 = 9 \times ₹1 + 2 \times ₹2? No, only 8 coins of ₹1.
13=8×1+1×5₹13 = 8 \times ₹1 + 1 \times ₹5? Already used all ₹5 coins.
13=6×2+1×1=12+1=13₹13 = 6 \times ₹2 + 1 \times ₹1 = ₹12 + ₹1 = ₹13 ✓ (uses 6 of 9 ₹2 coins and 1 of 8 ₹1 coins)

Combination 1: 5×5+6×2+1×1=25+12+1=385 \times ₹5 + 6 \times ₹2 + 1 \times ₹1 = 25 + 12 + 1 = ₹38

Combination 2: Use 4 coins of ₹5 = ₹20; need ₹18 more.
18=9×2=18₹18 = 9 \times ₹2 = ₹18

Combination 2: 4×5+9×2+0×1=20+18+0=384 \times ₹5 + 9 \times ₹2 + 0 \times ₹1 = 20 + 18 + 0 = ₹38

Combination 3: Use 4 coins of ₹5 = ₹20; need ₹18 more.
18=7×2+4×1=14+4=18₹18 = 7 \times ₹2 + 4 \times ₹1 = 14 + 4 = ₹18

Combination 3: 4×5+7×2+4×1=20+14+4=384 \times ₹5 + 7 \times ₹2 + 4 \times ₹1 = 20 + 14 + 4 = ₹38

*(Many more combinations are possible. Students should explore systematically.)*

- Jaunpur, U.P.: Printed 19,043; Attended 19,265
- Raigad, Maharashtra: Printed 20,863; Attended 19,974
Show solution
Chittoor, A.P.:
Printed = 18,225; Attended = 18,104
Since 18{,}225 > 18{,}104, certificates were sufficient.
Excess = 18,22518,104=12118{,}225 - 18{,}104 = 121
Chittoor: Sufficient. Excess certificates=121\boxed{\text{Chittoor: Sufficient. Excess certificates} = 121}

Jaunpur, U.P.:
Printed = 19,043; Attended = 19,265
Since 19{,}043 < 19{,}265, certificates were insufficient.
Shortfall = 19,26519,043=22219{,}265 - 19{,}043 = 222
Jaunpur: Insufficient. Certificates fell short by 222\boxed{\text{Jaunpur: Insufficient. Certificates fell short by } 222}

Raigad, Maharashtra:
Printed = 20,863; Attended = 19,974
Since 20{,}863 > 19{,}974, certificates were sufficient.
Excess = 20,86319,974=88920{,}863 - 19{,}974 = 889
Raigad: Sufficient. Excess certificates=889\boxed{\text{Raigad: Sufficient. Excess certificates} = 889}
