MATHEMATICS

Question 1. Find three consecutive numbers that add up to 21.
Answer:
Let the middle number be \(x\). The three consecutive numbers are \(x - 1, x, x + 1\).
Sum = \((x - 1) + x + (x + 1) = 3x\)
\(3x = 21\)
\(x = \frac{21}{3} = 7\)
The numbers are 6, 7, and 8.
In simple words: Three numbers in a row that add up to 21 are 6, 7, and 8.

Exam Tip: For consecutive numbers summing to a total, dividing the total by 3 gives the exact middle number.

Question 2. Find three consecutive numbers that add up to 48.
Answer:
Let the middle number be \(x\).
\(3x = 48\)
\(x = \frac{48}{3} = 16\)
The numbers are 15, 16, and 17.
In simple words: Divide 48 by 3 to find the middle number, which is 16. The numbers are 15, 16, 17.

Exam Tip: Verify by adding: \(15 + 16 + 17 = 48\).

Question 3. Find three consecutive odd numbers that add up to 27.
Answer:
Let the middle odd number be \(x\).
\(3x = 27\)
\(x = 9\)
Since the numbers must be odd, the numbers are 7, 9, and 11.
In simple words: The three consecutive odd numbers are 7, 9, and 11.

Question 4. Find three consecutive even numbers that add up to 54.
Answer:
Let the middle even number be \(x\).
\(3x = 54\)
\(x = \frac{54}{3} = 18\)
The numbers are 16, 18, and 20.
In simple words: The three consecutive even numbers are 16, 18, and 20.

Exam Tip: Check your sum: \(16 + 18 + 20 = 54\).

Question 5. Choose the correct answer for each question and write its number in the given brackets.
(1) The sum of 36 048 and 3980 is
(1) 40 028
(2) 40 928
(3) 65 848
(4) 75 848
Answer: (1) 40 028
\(36048 + 3980 = 40028\)
In simple words: Add 36,048 and 3,980 to get 40,028.

Exam Tip: Align numbers carefully according to their place values before adding.

Question 6. \(163 \times 38 = \Box\). The missing number in the box is -
(1) 201
(2) 489
(3) 1304
(4) 6194
Answer: (4) 6194
\(163 \times 30 = 4890\)
\(163 \times 8 = 1304\)
\(4890 + 1304 = 6194\)
In simple words: Multiply 163 by 38 to get 6,194.

Exam Tip: Break multiplication into partial products (multiply by 30 and by 8) to avoid errors.

Question 7. \(5082 \div 6 = \Box\). The missing number in the box is -
(1) 800
(2) 847
(3) 850
(4) 900
Answer: (2) 847
\(5082 \div 6 = 847\) (\(847 \times 6 = 5082\))
In simple words: Divide 5,082 by 6 to get 847.

Exam Tip: Use long division and check your answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor.

Question 8. 1685 less than the product of 9 and 396 is -
(1) 1280
(2) 1879
(3) 3564
(4) 5249
Answer: (2) 1879
Product of 9 and 396 = \(9 \times 396 = 3564\)
1685 less than 3564 = \(3564 - 1685 = 1879\)
In simple words: First multiply 9 by 396, then subtract 1,685 from the result.

Exam Tip: Read word problems carefully; 'less than' means subtraction.

Question 9. When 3756 is subtracted from the product of 6 and 3869, the result is -
(1) 14 346
(2) 15 108
(3) 19 458
(4) 20 542
Answer: (3) 19 458
Product = \(6 \times 3869 = 23214\)
Result = \(23214 - 3756 = 19458\)
In simple words: Multiply 6 by 3,869 and subtract 3,756.

Exam Tip: Perform multiplication first, followed by subtraction according to BODMAS rules.

Question 10. How many sixes are there in the product of 18 and 479?
(1) 108
(2) 371
(3) 1437
(4) 8622
Answer: (3) 1437
Product = \(18 \times 479 = 8622\)
Number of sixes = \(8622 \div 6 = 1437\)
In simple words: Multiply 18 by 479, then divide the answer by 6.

Exam Tip: Alternatively, simplify before dividing: \((18 \div 6) \times 479 = 3 \times 479 = 1437\).

Times Table Practice

Question 11. Answer these sums to find the right buttons:

\(7 \times 2 = 14\)
\(6 \times 3 = 18\)
\(8 \times 4 = 32\)
\(10 \times 5 = 50\)
\(9 \times 10 = 90\)
In simple words: Calculate the multiplication facts for each given pair of numbers.

Exam Tip: Memorize multiplication tables up to 10 for quick calculations.

Question 12. Which key do they pick? (The key to open the chest is in the x3 and x5 tables but not in the x2, x4 or x10 tables.)
Answer: Key with number 15 (since 15 is in the 3 times table (\(3 \times 5 = 15\)) and 5 times table (\(5 \times 3 = 15\)), but not in 2, 4, or 10 tables).
In simple words: Choose the number that is divisible by 3 and 5, but not by 2, 4, or 10.

Exam Tip: Check divisibility rules: numbers ending in 5 are not divisible by 2, 4, or 10.

Question 13. Enrichment Time: Find half and double of these numbers.
