(d) The estimated value of 36 + 71 – 55 is –
(i) 40
(ii) 50
(iii) 70
(iv) 150
Solution:
(ii) 36 + 71 – 55
We round off 36 to the nearest ten which is 40. Similarly, 71 and 55 can be rounded off to the nearest ten as 70 and 60 respectively.
∴ 36 + 71 – 55 can be written as
40 + 70 – 60 = 110 – 60 = 50

B. Answer the following questions.

(a) How many millions make 3 crores?
Solution:
1 crore = 10000000
∴ 3 crores = 30000000
= 30 × 1000000
= 30 × 1 million
∴ 30 millions make 3 crores.

(b) Which whole number does not have a predecessor?
Solution:
Zero (0).

(c) What is the estimated value of 786 × 1385?
Solution:
786 × 1385
786 can be rounded off to the nearest hundred as 800 and
1385 can be rounded off to the nearest hundred as 1400
∴ 786 × 1385 can be written as 800 × 1400 = 11,20,000

(d) What is the value of 125 × 4 × 25 × 8?
Solution:
125 × 4 × 25 × 8
We can arrange these numbers as follows:
(125 × 8) × (4 × 25) = 1000 × 100
= 1,00,000

(e) What is the difference between the place value and face value of 8 in 38, 46, 197?
Solution:
Place value of 8 in 38, 46, 197 is = 8,00,000
Face value of 8 in 38, 46, 197 is = 8
∴ Difference between place value and face value = 8,00,000 – 8 = 7,99,992.

Question 1.
How many times does the digit 7 occurs if we write all the numbers from 1 to 200?
Solution:
Numbers which have 7 at their ones Place only are 7, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 87, 97, 107, 117, 127, 137, 147, 157, 167, 187, 197,
i.e., 7 occurs 18 tunes

Numbers which have 7 at their tens place only are 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 78, 79, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 178, 179, Le., 7 occurs 18 times.

Numbers which have 7 at both their ones and tens place 77, 177, i.e., 7 occurs 4 times.

∴ Total number of times 7 occurs = 18 + 18 + 4 = 40

Question 2.

DAV Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Enrichment Questions

Question 1.
Get 100 using four 9’s and some of the symbols like +, -, x, ÷.
Solution:
Using two 9’s to get greatest 2-digit number = 99
Now, we are left with two 9’s.
If we use these two 9’s as 9 ÷ 9 we get 1.
By adding two results,
we get 99 + (9 + 9) = 99 + 1 = 100

Question 2.
A 2-digit number is three times the sum of its digits. Find the number.
Solution:

DAV Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Brain Teasers Solutions 4

By hit and trial method, we get
