1Large Numbers Around UsEasy

When we write the number 7,05,00,210 in the Indian System of Numeration, what is the correct way to read it?

A.Seven crore five lakh two hundred ten
B.Seventy lakh five thousand two hundred ten
C.Seven crore fifty lakh two hundred ten
D.Seven million five hundred thousand two hundred ten
Show Solution+

Answer: Seven crore five lakh two hundred ten

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.

2Large Numbers Around UsMedium

What is the number name for 8,05,07,013 in the Indian System of Numeration?

A.A. Eight crore five lakh seven thousand thirteen
B.B. Eight crore fifty lakh seven thousand thirteen
C.C. Eight crore five lakh seventy thousand thirteen
D.D. Eight crore five lakh seven thousand one hundred three
Show Solution+

Answer: A. Eight crore five lakh seven thousand thirteen

Step 1: In the Indian System, the number 8,05,07,013 is read by grouping digits from the right: 013 (ones period), 07 (thousands period), 05 (lakhs period), 8 (crores period).

Step 2: So, 8,05,07,013 is read as Eight crore five lakh seven thousand thirteen.

3Large Numbers Around UsHard

What is the largest 7-digit number that can be formed using the digits 0-9 (repetition allowed), such that the digit at the Ten Lakhs place is 6?

A.99,69,999
B.96,99,999
C.86,99,999
D.96,99,990
Show Solution+

Answer: 96,99,999

Step 1: A 7-digit number in the Indian system has places: Crores, Ten Lakhs, Lakhs, Ten Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones.

Step 2: The Ten Lakhs place is the 6th digit from the right. It must be 6.

Step 3: To make the number largest, fill the Crores place (7th digit) with the largest digit, 9. Then, fill all remaining unspecified places (Lakhs, Ten Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones) with 9, as repetition is allowed.

Step 4: This results in the number 9,699,999 which is 96,99,999 in the Indian system.

4Arithmetic ExpressionsEasy

Why is it important to follow the order of operations (BODMAS) when evaluating arithmetic expressions?

A.To make calculations faster.
B.To ensure a unique and correct answer.
C.To use all numbers in the expression.
D.To avoid using fractions.
Show Solution+

Answer: To ensure a unique and correct answer.

Step 1: The order of operations (BODMAS) provides a standard rule set for performing calculations.

Step 2: Following this specific order ensures that everyone evaluates an expression in the same way, thus leading to one unique and correct result, preventing ambiguity.

5Arithmetic ExpressionsMedium

Evaluate: 18 ÷ 2 + 5 × 3 - 7

A.11
B.23
C.26
D.17
Show Solution+

Answer: 17

Step 1: Perform division: 18 ÷ 2 = 9.

Step 2: Perform multiplication: 5 × 3 = 15.

Step 3: Substitute these values into the expression: 9 + 15 - 7.

Step 4: Perform addition and subtraction from left to right: 24 - 7 = 17.

6Arithmetic ExpressionsHard

Evaluate the expression: `[(-15) × (-4)] ÷ (-12) - {(-3) × [18 - (6 ÷ 2)]}`

A.-40
B.40
C.80
D.-80
Show Solution+

Answer: 40

Step 1: First, solve the innermost bracket: `(6 ÷ 2) = 3`.

Step 2: Substitute this back: `[(-15) × (-4)] ÷ (-12) - {(-3) × [18 - 3]}`.

Step 3: Solve the next innermost bracket: `[18 - 3] = 15`.

Step 4: The expression becomes: `[(-15) × (-4)] ÷ (-12) - {(-3) × 15}`.

Step 5: Perform multiplications: `(-15) × (-4) = 60` and `(-3) × 15 = -45`.

Step 6: The expression is now: `60 ÷ (-12) - {-45}`.

Step 7: Perform the division: `60 ÷ (-12) = -5`.

Step 8: Finally, solve the subtraction: `-5 - (-45) = -5 + 45 = 40`.

7DecimalsEasy

Which statement correctly describes the value of the digit '4' in the decimal number 7.348?

A.It represents 4 units.
B.It represents 4 tenths.
C.It represents 4 hundredths.
D.It represents 4 thousandths.
Show Solution+

Answer: It represents 4 hundredths.

Step 1: In the number 7.348, the digit '7' is in the units place.

Step 2: The digit '3' is in the tenths place, meaning 3/10.

Step 3: The digit '4' is in the hundredths place, meaning 4/100.

Step 4: The digit '8' is in the thousandths place, meaning 8/1000.

8DecimalsMedium

Rohan claims that 7.08 can be written as 7 + 8/10. Is he correct? If not, what is the correct representation of the decimal part of 7.08 as a fraction?

A.No, it should be 7 + 8/100
B.Yes, he is correct.
C.No, it should be 7 + 80/100
D.No, it should be 7 + 0/10 + 8/1000
Show Solution+

Answer: No, it should be 7 + 8/100

Step 1: The decimal number 7.08 means 7 ones, 0 tenths, and 8 hundredths.

Step 2: Therefore, the correct expanded form is 7 + 0/10 + 8/100.

Step 3: Rohan's representation 7 + 8/10 would correspond to 7.8, not 7.08.

Step 4: So, the correct representation of the decimal part is 8/100.

9DecimalsHard

Which of the following numbers is closest to 0.75?

A.3/4 + 0.001
B.0.749
C.1 - 0.2505
D.6/8 - 0.0001
Show Solution+

Answer: 0.749

Step 1: First, convert 0.75 to a fraction: 0.75 = 3/4.

Step 2: Option A: 3/4 + 0.001 = 0.75 + 0.001 = 0.751. Difference from 0.75 is |0.751 - 0.75| = 0.001.

Step 3: Option B: 0.749. Difference from 0.75 is |0.749 - 0.75| = |-0.001| = 0.001.

Step 4: Option C: 1 - 0.2505 = 0.7495. Difference from 0.75 is |0.7495 - 0.75| = |-0.0005| = 0.0005.

Step 5: Option D: 6/8 - 0.0001 = 3/4 - 0.0001 = 0.75 - 0.0001 = 0.7499. Difference from 0.75 is |0.7499 - 0.75| = |-0.0001| = 0.0001.

Step 6: Comparing the differences: A (0.001), B (0.001), C (0.0005), D (0.0001). The smallest difference is 0.0001, which corresponds to Option D.

10Algebraic ExpressionsEasy

Which of the following statements correctly describes a variable in an algebraic expression?

A.It is a fixed numerical value.
B.It is an unknown value that can change or take different values.
C.It is always the number zero.
D.It is a mathematical operation sign, like + or -.
Show Solution+

Answer: It is an unknown value that can change or take different values.

Step 1: A variable is a symbol, usually a letter, that represents an unknown quantity or a quantity that can change.

Step 2: Unlike a constant, which has a fixed value, a variable's value can vary.
