Solved Examples from Large Numbers Around Us
1When we write the number 7,05,00,210 in the Indian System of Numeration, what is the correct way to read it?
Answer: Seven crore five lakh two hundred ten
Solution:
Step 1: In the Indian System, commas are placed after the hundreds, then after every two digits.
Step 2: The number 7,05,00,210 has groups: 210 (hundreds), 00 (thousands), 05 (lakhs), 7 (crores).
Step 3: Therefore, it is read as Seven crore, five lakh, two hundred ten.
2A country's population is written as 'Four hundred fifty-three million two hundred one thousand five hundred' in the International System. Which of the following is its correct numeral form?
Answer: 453,201,500
Solution:
Step 1: Break down the number into its International System groups: 'Four hundred fifty-three million', 'two hundred one thousand', 'five hundred'.
Step 2: Four hundred fifty-three million is 453,000,000.
Step 3: Two hundred one thousand is 201,000.
Step 4: Five hundred is 500. Combining these gives 453,201,500.
3Ravi was asked to write the number 'Nine crore forty-five thousand six hundred two' using commas in the Indian System. He wrote it as 9,45,602. What mistake did he make?
Answer: He missed a zero in the lakhs place, making the number much smaller than it should be.
Solution:
Step 1: The number 'Nine crore forty-five thousand six hundred two' means there are 9 crores, 0 lakhs, 45 thousands, 6 hundreds, 0 tens, and 2 ones.
Step 2: In the Indian System, this should be written as 9,00,45,602.
Step 3: Ravi wrote 9,45,602, which is nine lakh forty-five thousand six hundred two. He missed the 'lakhs' period completely, treating the number as if it only had lakh and thousand places, not crore.
4Which of the following statements correctly explains the difference between 1 Lakh and 1 Million?
Answer: 1 Lakh is 10 times smaller than 1 Million.
Solution:
Step 1: In the Indian System, 1 Lakh = 1,00,000.
Step 2: In the International System, 1 Million = 1,000,000.
Step 3: To compare, divide 1 Million by 1 Lakh: 1,000,000 / 1,00,000 = 10.
Step 4: This means 1 Million is 10 times 1 Lakh, or 1 Lakh is 10 times smaller than 1 Million.
