CBSE Class 3 Mathematics Practice Test Worksheet Set 13

Section A

Fill in the blanks using the correct answer from the brackets:

Question 1. The predecessor of 6390 is __________ [6391, 6388, 6389].
Answer: 6389
In simple words: The predecessor of a number is found by subtracting 1 from it. \(6390 - 1 = 6389\).

Exam Tip: Always subtract 1 to find the predecessor and add 1 to find the successor.

Question 2. The smallest four digit number is _________ [1111, 9999, 1000].
Answer: 1000
In simple words: 1000 is the first 4-digit number that comes after the largest 3-digit number, 999.

Exam Tip: The smallest n-digit number always consists of a 1 followed by (n-1) zeros.

Question 3. The face value of 5 in 6358 is __________ [50, 500, 5].
Answer: 5
In simple words: The face value of a digit is the digit itself, regardless of its position in the number.

Exam Tip: Do not confuse face value with place value. Face value is the digit itself, whereas place value depends on the position.

Question 4. Two _________ makes a whole. (halves/quarters)
Answer: halves
In simple words: Two equal halves (\(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\)) make one complete whole.

Exam Tip: Remember that two halves or four quarters make one whole.

Question 5. A cuboid has __________ faces [12, 6, 8].
Answer: 6
In simple words: A cuboid has 6 flat rectangular faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.

Exam Tip: Cube and cuboid both share the same number of faces, edges, and vertices.

Question 6. The number which comes after 209 is __________ [219, 210, 300].
Answer: 210
In simple words: The number after 209 is calculated by adding 1, giving 210.

Exam Tip: Be careful with numbers crossing into the next tens family (e.g., from 209 to 210).

Question 7. The hour hand completes __________ rounds in one day [1, 2, 3].
Answer: 2
In simple words: A clock has 12 hours on its face, and a day has 24 hours, so the hour hand completes 2 full circles in a day.

Exam Tip: 1 day = 24 hours. Since the hour hand takes 12 hours for one full rotation, it completes 2 rounds in 24 hours.

Question 8. A cake is divided into four equal parts each part is [1/3, 1/4, 1/2].
Answer: 1/4
In simple words: When a whole is divided into 4 equal parts, each part is one-quarter or \(\frac{1}{4}\).

Exam Tip: Four equal parts mean denominators of four, written as \(\frac{1}{4}\).

Question 9. A cylinder has ________ edges [0, 1, 2].
Answer: 2
In simple words: A cylinder has 2 curved edges where its flat circular bases meet its curved surface.

Exam Tip: Remember that a cylinder has 3 surfaces (2 flat, 1 curved) and 2 curved edges, but 0 vertices.

Question 10. A football is an example of a _________ [circle, sphere, cube].
Answer: sphere
In simple words: A football is a 3D solid object, which makes it a sphere, whereas a circle is a 2D flat shape.

Exam Tip: Never confuse 2D shapes (circle) with 3D solid shapes (sphere).

Encircle the correct option

Question 11. The sum of 2035 and next odd number is
(a) 4037
(b) 2037
(c) 4072
(d) 2072
Answer: (d) 2072
The given number is 2035, which is an odd number.
The next odd number after 2035 is 2037.
Sum = \(2035 + 2037 = 2072\)
In simple words: Find the odd number right after 2035, which is 2037, and add them together.

Exam Tip: Read carefully: it asks for the *next* odd number, not 2035 itself twice.

Question 12. 7 + 40 + 500 is equal to
(a) 547
(b) 745
(c) 754
(d) 574
Answer: (a) 547
Arrange by place value:
Hundreds = 500
Tens = 40
Ones = 7
Total = \(500 + 40 + 7 = 547\)
In simple words: Combine the hundreds, tens, and ones to form the standard numeral 547.

Question 13. Make the statement true: \(839 - \text{_______} = 8 \text{ more than } 720\)
Answer: 111
8 more than 720 = \(720 + 8 = 728\)
Let the missing number be x.
\(839 - x = 728\)
\(x = 839 - 728 = 111\)
In simple words: First find what 8 more than 720 is (728), then find what must be subtracted from 839 to get 728.

Exam Tip: Solve equations step-by-step by simplifying the right-hand side first.

Question 14. \(5 \times 2\) is shaded
(a)
(b)
(c)
Answer: (b)
\(5 \times 2\) means 5 units in a row and 2 rows, or a grid showing 10 total blocks with 5 shaded in a row representing columns/rows. Looking at option (b), it has 2 rows of 5 blocks each, where one complete row of 5 is shaded, representing \(5 \times 1\) or similar, but checking standard grid representations, option (b) represents 5 columns and 2 rows total with 5 blocks shaded.
In simple words: Look for a grid that shows a total area or blocks matching 5 groups of 2 or 2 rows of 5.

Exam Tip: Multiplication in grids represents rows times columns.

Question 15. The length of this line segment is
(a) 3.5 cm
(b) 2.5 cm

(a) 5 hours 45 min
(b) 6 hours 30 min
(c) 6 hours 15 min
Answer: (c) 6 hours 15 min
From 7:30 am to 1:30 pm is exactly 6 hours.
From 1:30 pm to 1:45 pm is 15 minutes.
Total time = 6 hours 15 minutes.
In simple words: Count the hours from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm (6 hours), then add the extra 15 minutes.

Exam Tip: Break time duration problems into hours first, then add the remaining minutes.

II) 9 hundreds - 4 tens is equal to
(a) 940
(b) 900
(c) 860
Answer: (c) 860
9 hundreds = 900
4 tens = 40
\(900 - 40 = 860\)
In simple words: 900 minus 40 gives 860.

Exam Tip: Convert word form (hundreds/tens) into numbers before subtracting.

Question 17.
I) Clock showing 5:30
(a) Hour hand between 5 and 6, minute hand at 6
(b) Hour hand at 5, minute hand at 12
(c) Hour hand at 6, minute hand at 6
Answer: (a)
In simple words: At 30 minutes past the hour, the minute hand points directly at 6, and the hour hand is halfway between 5 and 6.

Exam Tip: At half past any hour, the hour hand is always halfway between that hour and the next.

II) Which of the following is divided in quarters

(a) 698 and 263
(b) 200 and 400
(c) 263 and 435
Answer: (c) 263 and 435
In simple words: Numbers that are added together in an addition sentence are called addends.

Exam Tip: Addends are the numbers being added; the result is the sum.

Section - B

Write true and false for the following statements:

Question a. The predecessor of 7880 is 7870
Answer: False
In simple words: The predecessor of 7880 is \(7880 - 1 = 7879\), not 7870.

Exam Tip: Predecessor is always 1 less than the given number.

Question b. Four halves make one complete figure
Answer: False
In simple words: Two halves make one whole, whereas four quarters make one whole.

Exam Tip: Two halves = 1 whole; Four quarters = 1 whole.

Question c. 2643 is > two thousand six hundred thirty four
Answer: True
In simple words: 2643 is greater than 2634.

Exam Tip: Compare numbers digit by digit from left to right.

Answer: True
In simple words: The largest 3-digit number is 999, which is indeed smaller than 1000.

Question g. 30 toffees distributed equally in 5 students, each of them will get 5
Answer: False
In simple words: Dividing 30 by 5 gives 6 (\(30 \div 5 = 6\)), so each student gets 6 toffees, not 5.

Exam Tip: Check division statements by multiplying back: \(5 \times 5 = 25 \neq 30\).

Question h. Six fifty paise coins = Rs. 3
Answer: True
In simple words: Six coins of 50 paise equal 300 paise, which is equal to Rs. 3.
