Preface
We are pleased to launch the thoroughly revised Third edition of Olympiad Champs
Mathematics Class 4 which is the first of its kind book on Olympiad in many ways.
The Unique Selling Proposition of this new edition is the inclusion of past year questions of
different Olympiad exams held in schools.
The book is aimed at achieving not only success but deep rooted learning in children. It is
prepared on content based on National Curriculum Framework prescribed by NCERT. All the
text books, syllabi and teaching practices within the education programme in India must follow
NCF. Hence, Olympiad Champs become an ideal book not only for the Olympiad Exams but also
for strengthening the concepts for the relevant grade.
There is an exhaustive range of thought provoking questions in MCQ format to test the
student’s knowledge thoroughly. The questions are designed so as to test the knowledge,
comprehension, evaluation, analytical and application skills. Solutions and explanations are
provided for all questions. The questions are divided into two levels-Level 1 and Level 2. The
first level, Level 1, is the beginner’s level which comprises of questions like fillers, analogy
and odd one out. When the children covers Level 1, it means his basic knowledge about the
subject is clear and now he is ready for Level 2. The second level is the advanced level.
Level 2 comprises of techniques like matching, chronological sequencing, picture, passage and
feature based, statement correct/ incorrect, integer based, puzzle, grid based, crossword,
venn diagram, table/ chart based and much more.
The first concern which each parent faces is how to make their children read a book especially
when it is based on academics. Keeping this in mind interesting facts, real life examples,
historical preview, short cuts to problem solving, charts, diagrams, illustrations and poems are
added.
With the vision to remove all the misconception a child may have pertaining to the subject, to
relate his knowledge to the real world and to develop a deeper understanding of the subject,
this book will cater all the requirements of the students who are going to appear in Olympiads.
While preparing this book, some errors might have crept in. We request our readers to identify
those errors and send it across on feedback_disha@aiets.co.in.
We wish you all the best for your Olympiads and happy reading…….

ROMAN NUMERALS
M's "mille" (or 1000 said)
D's half (500 - quickly read)
C's just a 100 (century)
and L is half again – 50
So all that's left is X and V
(or 10 and 5) – and I - easy

Sam’s father brought a new wall clock. Sam was amazed


to see some alphabet instead of numbers on the clock. He

numbers based on the Roman system of numeration. Let
X + III or 10 + 3 us all learn about it.
Which is thirteen. When Romans learned to write they needed a way to write
their numbers. For this they developed a numeric system
So X + III = X III which uses combinations of letters to signify values. This
system is known as Roman system of numeration.
Romans used these numbers for trading & commerce.
These numbers are still used today in many different
ways.
Roman Numerals 3
This system of numeration does not use place value like
the Arabic system of numeration.
There are seven symbols used in this system which are Amazing Fact
as follows:
I, V, X, L, C, D & M.
v Roman numerals don't have a
Each symbol has a corresponding value: symbol for zero.
I stands for 1
V stands for 5
X stands for 10
L stands for 50
C stands for 100 Can you perform this
D stands for 500 subtraction?
M stands for 1000 X – III or 10 – 3 Which is 7.

PRINCIPLES USED IN ROMAN NUMERATION So X – III = VII


SYSTEM
1. Principle of Addition: Tina wants to meet her
brother who studies in class 11, but the number
written on the name plate is a Roman numeral, so CLASS
she is confused whether she is going to the right
classroom. Can you help her? XI
Class XI ⇒
X = 10 and I = 1
Therefore, XI = 10 + 1 = 11
Hence, Tina is going to the correct classroom.
This example uses the principle of addition.
Addition is only applicable when the first symbol is
greater than the second, third etc.
When a symbol appears after a larger symbol it is
added.
When the principle of addition is used, a symbol
can be used only three times.
Let us take another example:
LXX ⇒
L = 50
X = 10
X = 10
Therefore, LXX = 50 + 10 + 10 = 70 IX
Note:
(i) Repetition of a symbol in a Roman numeral mean
17
addition
(ii) Only I, X, C and M can be repeated
(iii) V,L and D are never repeated
(iv) No symbol in a Roman numeral can be repeated
more than 3 times.

2. Principle of Subtraction: Jojo was waiting for his
friend on a street. He saw a board on which two
numbers were written. One was a Roman numeral
Historical preview another was an Arabic numeral. But he is confused
that which number is written on the board.
v The history of Roman numerals Roman number written on board = IX
is not well documented I = 1 10
and written accounts are
contradictory. It is likely X = 10 –1
that counting began on the 9
fingers and that is why we
count in tens. A single stroke
Therefore, IX = 9
I represents one finger, five
or a handful could possibly be Subtraction is only applicable when the first symbol
represented by V and the X is less than the second one.

two Vs, one upside down.
D = 500 –100

Example : Which of the following 400



is greatest?
Therefore, CD = 400
(a) XL (b) XC
Note:
(c) CM (d)  XCI (i) V, L and D are never subtracted
Solution: (ii) I can be subtracted from V and X only
XL = 50 – 10 = 40 (iii) X can be subtracted from L and C only
XC = 100 – 10 = 90 (iv) C can be subtracted from D and M only
3. Principle of addition & subtraction are used in
CM = 1000 – 100 = 900 combination.
XCI = 90 + 1 = 91 Rohan was reading an article.
So CM is the greatest among Super Bowl XLVIII
given Roman Numerals.
The Super Bowl is the annual championship game
of the National Football League (NFL), the highest
level of professional American football in the
United States, culminating a season that begins
in the late summer of the previous calendar year.
The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify
each game, rather than the year in which it is held.
For example, Super Bowl I was played on January
15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season, while
Super Bowl XLVII was played on February 3, 2013,
following the 2012 season.
Roman Numerals 5
He saw numbers written in roman numerals. Let us
have a look. Shortcut to
Roman number XLVIII ⇒ Problem Solving
X = 10 v An accurate way to write the
L = 50 roman numbers is to first take
V=5 the thousands, hundreds,
I=1 tens and units.
I=1 Example: 1999, one thousand
I=1 is M, nine hundred is CM,
ninety is XC, nine is IX.
⇒ (50 – 10) + (5 + 1 + 1 + 1) = 40 + 8 = 48
Combine all these:
Therefore, XLVIII = 48

This is an example where principle of addition &
subtraction are used in combination. v Develop a mnemonic device

Large Numbers

Do You Know?

Example : - Write the smallest 1


digit number, 2 digit number and
3 digit number.
Solution : Smallest 1 digit number = 1
Smallest 2 digit number = 10
A census officer visited Rohan’s home. He was confused
Smallest 3 digit number = 100 why she is asking so many questions. He was really curious
& asked his father all about census. His father told him
that census is the process to count & record all the
information of the population of a country.
Rohan says that population of the whole country must be
a very big number. His father told him that for this you
will have to learn about large numbers.
Let us all learn about large numbers.
Large Numbers 17
Let us have a look at the table given below:
Number Read As
Amazing Facts
1 One
10 Ten v Sometimes instead of using
commas, we can leave spaces
100 One hundred
between periods. This helps
1000 One thousand to read a number easily &
10000 Ten thousand quickly.
100000 One lakh v Abacus is considered the
origin of the calculator.
1000000 Ten lakh
v The largest 1 digit number
10000000 Crore is 9.
100000000 Ten crore v The largest 9 digit number
The numbers given in the above table are based on the is 999999999.
Indian system of numeration. v The smallest 1 digit number
As the number increases it becomes larger and larger. is 1.
v The smallest 9 digit number
6 DIGIT NUMBERS is 100000000.

We know that 99,999 is the greatest 5 digit number. If


we add 1 to it, we will get the smallest 6 digit number.
Place Value
The place value of a 6 digit number is Lakhs in the place
value chart.
Have a look at the place value chart given below:

Lakhs Thousands
Ones Period
Period Period
Do You Know?

Example : - How many lakhs are


there in one million?
Ten thousands

Solution : 1 Lakh = 100000


Thousands

Hundreds

1 Million = 1000000
Lakhs

Ones
Tens

So there are 1000000


100000
= 10 Lakhs in one million.

The place value chart has been separated into three groups:
The ones period has three places – Hundreds, tens & ones.
The thousands period has two places – Ten thousands &
thousands.
EBD_7354
18 Olympiad Champs–Mathematics
Next period is the lakhs period which includes – Ten lakhs
& lakhs.
Some More Examples But we will learn ten lakhs in higher classes.
Example : - Write the following Use of Comma
number 627891 in Indian system If we write the number without using the place value
and International system of chart, we use comma to separate the periods.
Numeration Let us consider an example:
Solution : In Indian
5,47,283
System L  TTH  TH  H  T O
Here, first comma is used when the ones period is complete.
6, 2 7, 8 9 1
Second comma is used when thousands period is complete.
Six lakhs twenty seven thousand
eight hundred and ninety one.
ACTIVITY TIME
In International
System HTH TTH  TH  H  T O Put commas to separate the periods:
6, 2 7, 8 9 1 v 435362
Six hundred twenty seven thousand v 326483
and eight hundred ninety one. v 210002
Reading a 6 digit number: 5,47,283
We read a 6 digit number as mentioned below:
Five lakhs forty seven thousands two hundred eighty
three.

ACTIVITY TIME
Read the following numbers:
v 6,47,393
v 8,72,282
Expanded notation: 5,47,283
Let us learn to write a number in its expanded notation
form. Look at the table given below:
5 4 7 2 8 3
1 00 000 10 000 1000 100 10 1

QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW

WHAT IS ADDITION?
Combining two or more objects of same kind is known as
addition. It is bringing two or more numbers (or things)
together to make a new total. Addition is finding the total,
or sum, by combining two or more numbers.
Example : If there are 30 boys Some other names used in addition are Sum, Plus, Increase
and 12 girls in a class, then find & Total.
the total number of students in
the class. TERMINOLOGY
Solution :
No of boys = 30 Sum
No if girls = + 12 The result obtained after addition is called sum. It the
result obtained after adding one number to another.
Total Number = 42
Addend
of students in the class.
The numbers that are to be added are called addends.

ADDEND + ADDEND = SUM


For example: 50 + 20 = 70
Here, 50 = Addend
20 = Addend
70 = Sum
27

PROPERTIES OF ADDITION
1. When we add 1 to any number, the answer is

always its successor.
For Example: Tina had 1 fish in her fish tank. v The sum is always greater
than the numbers being
added, except when one of the
numbers being added is zero.
v If you add up the numbers 1 to
100. Consecutively (1 + 2 + 3 +
Her mom gave her another fish on her birthday. 4 + 5 + …) the total is 5050.
v Opposite sides of a die always
add up to seven (7).

How many fish are there in all?


There was 1 fish in the fish tank. One more is added
to it.
Therefore, total number of fish in the fish tank

Hence, we can say that when we add zero to a number, obtain the final answer.
the answer is the number itself. For Example : 2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4
3. If we change the order of numbers while adding, or 2 + 7 = 5 + 4
the sum does not change. or 9 = 9
For example: 25 + 34 = 59
Here, Addend 1 = 25
Addend 2 =3 4
Sum = 59
If we interchange the addends with each other, that
is 34 becomes addend 1 & 25 becomes addend 2. The
35 + 1

sum remains the same.


That is, 34 + 25 = 59

Hence, we can say that if the order of the numbers +5 +0

to be added is changed, the sum will remain the
same. 50

ADDITION WITHOUT REGROUPING


Lily went to the zoo, she found that there were 1163
animals & 824 birds. She wants to know what, is the total
number of animals & birds in the zoo. Let us help her to
do so.
Number of animals in the zoo = 1163

Zoo Number of birds in the zoo = 824


Total number of animals & birds in the zoo = 1163 + 824
We can also write this in columnar form as follows:
Th H T O

AMAZING ADDITION PATTERNS


A. Sums of three consecutive numbers differ by 3.
1+2+3=6
2+3+4=9
3 + 4 + 5 = 12
4 + 5 + 6 = 15 ……. .
31
Addition
B. Sums of 5 consecutive numbers differ by 5.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 20 Addition Trick
3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 25 ……… .
Aim for ten
C. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
If you see any number close to
Sum of 1 to 10 = 55
ten, then break the other number
11 to 20 = 155
so that your reach ten.
21 to 30 = 255
31 to 40 = 355………… For example, 8 + 5 = ?
D. 1 + 3 = 4 (2 Addends x 2=4) 8 is 2 away from 10. So 8 + 2 = 10.
1 + 3 + 5 = 9 (3 Addends x 3=9) Now 5 becomes 3.
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16 (4 Addends x 4=16) Therefore, 8 + 2 + 3 = 13.
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 25 …… . (5 Addends x 5=25)
E. 2 + 4 + 6 = 2 × 6 = 12
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 2 × (6 + 4) = 2 × 10 = 20
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 2 × (10 + 5) = 2 × 15 = 30
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 = 2 × (15 + 6) = 2 × 21 = 42
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 = 2 × (21 + 7) = 2 × 28 = 56
F. 3 + 6 = 3 × (1 + 2) = 3 × 3 = 9
3 + 6 + 9 = 3 × (1 + 2 + 3) = 3 × 6 = 18
3 + 6 + 9 + 12 = 3 × (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 3 × 10 = 30
3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 = 3 × (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) = 3 × 15 = 45
G. 1 + 9 = 10
1 + 99 = 100
1 + 999 = 1000
1 + 9999 = 10000
1 + 99999 = 100000

Numbers the same ?????? Subtraction is taking away some objects from a given
collection. It is taking one number away from another.
Zero's the game.
Some other names used in subtraction are Minus, Less,
Difference, Decrease, Take Away, Deduct.

TERMINOLOGY
Difference
The result obtained after subtraction is called difference.
Do You Know? It is the result obtained after subtracting one number
from another.
To get predecesser of a given
number we subtract 1 from the Minuend
number whose predecesser The number that is to be subtracted from is called
we have to find. For example, minuend.
Predecesser of 8 is 8 – 1 = 7.
Subtrahend
The number that is to be subtracted is called
subtrahend.
Subtraction 41

MINUEND – SUBTRAHEND = DIFFERENCE


Amazing Fact
For example, 50 – 20 = 30
Here, Minuend = 50 v The question given below can
be solved with an amazing
Subtrahend = 20
shortcut also.
Difference = 30
5000 – 1832 = ?
5000 5000 - 1 4999
PROPERTIES OF SUBTRACTION
1832 1832 - 1 -1831
1. When we subtract a number from itself, the answer 3168
is always Zero.
For example: 6884-6884 = 0
2. When we subtract zero from a number, the answer
is the number itself.
For example: Monty saw 9 mangoes on a mango tree.
He wants to eat the mangoes but could not reach
them. How many mangoes were left on the tree?
There were 9 mangoes on the tree. Monty could not
get any mango. It means still there were 9 mangoes
on the tree.
This can be written as 9 – 0 = 9
Therefore, there were 9 mangoes left on the tree.
Hence, we can say that when we subtract zero from
a number, the answer is the number itself.

SUBTRACTION WITH NUMBER LINE


72 – 45 = ?

Do You Know?
5 20 2
8 – 5 is not equal to 5 – 8 as 8 – 5
= 3 but 5 – 8 can not be solved at
45 50 70 72 this stage.

5 + 20 + 2 = 27
Therefore, 72 – 45 = 27

USES OF SUBTRACTION
1. To find out how many are left: In a singing
competition, 25 students out 75 qualified for the next
round? How many students were left unselected?
Here we have to find the number of students who
were left unselected. Whenever we have to find how
many are left we use subtraction.
EBD_7354
42 Olympiad Champs–Mathematics
Therefore, number of students left unselected =
pastries shop Total number of students – Number of students
selected = 75 – 25 = 50
2. To compare groups: A Bakery had 52 pastries &
95 cookies. How many more cookies are there than
pastries?

= 52 = 95
There are 2 groups:
(a) Pastries and
(b) Cookies
Now to compare the quantity of 2 groups, we will
subtract the smaller group from the larger group.
This is shown as follows:
9 5 cookies
-5 2 pastries
Example: Fill in the blank to make 4 3 more cookies than pastries.
the given statement true
3. To find what does not belong to a group: Mrs. Ben
19 + ______ = 25
has 15 dogs. Out of them 5 are pugs. Find out how
Solution: Here 25 – 19 = 6 many dogs are not pugs.
So 19 + 6 = 25 Total number of dogs = 15
Number of Pugs = 5
To find the number of dogs which do not belong to
the group of pugs, we will subtract the number of
pugs from total number of dogs.
Therefore, 15 – 5 = 10 dogs are not pugs.
Subtraction 43
4. To find what was taken away: A farmer loaded a
truck with 1129 apples. On the way, some apples fell
on the road. On unloading, the farmer found that
there are only 1000 apples. Find out how many apples
fell from the truck.
Here we know the original number & the number
which is left over. We need to find the number of
apples taken away.
This can be written as follows:
1129 - ? = 1000


Therefore, the number of apples which fell from the
truck are = 1129 – 1000 = 129
5. To find how many more are needed: A thirsty crow
needs 1255 pebbles to put in the pot to raise the
water level. But he has only 255 pebbles. How many
more pebbles does he need ?

225 + ? = 1255

The number of pebbles required = 1255 – 255 = 1000
more pebbles.

SUBTRACTING FOUR DIGIT NUMBER

Subtraction Facts
Subtraction facts from a given
addition fact.
From a given addition fact, we
can derive two subtraction facts.
For Example
27 + 19 = 46
We can write the 2 subtraction
facts as 46 – 19 = 27
and 46 – 27 = 19

Circus
1. Without Regrouping/Borrowing: There are 2549
seats in a circus tent. 2138 people came to see the
circus show. How many seats were left vacant?
To find out the number of vacant seats we will use
subtraction as follows:
EBD_7354
44 Olympiad Champs–Mathematics
No. of vacant seats = Total no. of seats – no. of seats
Addition Fact occupied by people.
= 2549 – 2138
We can get an addition fact
from a given subtraction fact. Th H T O
For example 2 5 4 9
37 – 12 = 25. – 2 1 3 8
We can write the addition fact 0 4 1 1
as 37 = 12 + 25
Therefore, 411 seats were left vacant.
2. By Regrouping/Borrowing: Out of 2138 people who
came to see the circus, 1619 were adults. Find out
how many children were there? (see the previous
circus figure.)
Total number of children = Total number of people –
Total number of adults
Some More Subtraction = 2138 – 1619
Example :- (i) What should be This can also be written as: Th H T O
subtracted from 1000 to get 1 11 2 18
999? 2 1 3 8
(ii) What should be subtracted – 1 6 1 9
from 105 to get the smallest
three digit number? 0 5 1 9
Solution : (i) As 1000 – 1 = 999,
So, 1 should be subtracted from S U B T R A C T I N G W I T H Z E R O S
1000 to get 999 5000 – 1832 = ?
(ii) As 105 – 5 = 100 OR
So, 5 is to be subtracted from Th H T O
105 to get 100. 5 0 0 0
– 1 8 3 2

There are not enough ones, tens or hundreds and we can’t
regroup from zero.
Therefore, we will make 0 into 10 & then regroup as shown
below.
Reduce 5 by 1. 5 becomes 4 & 0 becomes 10. Now reduce
10 by 1. 10 becomes 9 & 0 becomes 10. Repeat this process
& subtract. The result is shown below.

QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW


What is DIVISION?
Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.
It is the result of "fair sharing".
When we share equally we divide.
Symbolically, we write it as follows:
27 ÷ 9 = 3
Division by zero
For example:
v Division by zero is not defined.
You cannot divide any number
by zero. Let us take an
example. You have 20 toffees
which you want to distribute
to your classmates but if
everyone is absent and there
are no classmates in your
class, then to whom will you
distribute the toffees.

v You can check the answer by
just following a simple rule-
(QUOTIENT X DIVISOR)

She put 5 more pearls in 2nd jewellery box. v Any number divided by 10 gives
the ones digit as remainder
and the other digits as the
quotient.
   
She is left with some pearls, so she put 5 pearls in another
jewelry box.

5 pearls in another box.

       
Try It!
There are no more pearls left. Example: How many 4's are there
Kitty required 5 jewellery boxes to keep the pearls. in
Therefore, we can say that 25 pearls put into equal groups (a)   16   (b)  64 (c)  32
of 5 each gives 5 groups. Solutions : (a) We know that
OR 16 ÷ 4 = 4
We can say that, 25 pearls divided by 5 pearls in 1 group So there are four 4's in 16.
gives 5 groups. (b) As 64 ÷ 4 = 16
When we group equally, we divide. So, there are sixteen 4's in 64
Symbolically, we write it as, (c) As 32 ÷ 4 = 8 So, there are
25 ÷ 5 = 5 eight 4's in 32.
Hence, Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.
It is separating or distributing something into parts.

TERMINOLOGY
Dividend
The number to be divided is called the dividend. It is the
Real Life Example

is called quotient. It is the answer in division.
For example: 12 ÷ 6 = 2. Here 12 divided by 6 gives 2.
Therefore, 2 is the quotient.

PROPERTIES OF DIVISION
Zero Property
(a) If zero is divided by any number, the answer is
always zero.
For example: if we have zero number of chocolates
to be divided amongst the students, then each will
get zero chocolate.
0÷5=0
(b) If any number is divided by zero, then problem
cannot be solved.
Property of one
If any number is divided by one, the answer is the number
itself.
For example: Ram’s family has gone to the market so he
is alone at home. There are 9 cookies kept in the kitchen.
How many cookies will Ram get to eat?
Here, Ram can eat all the 9 cookies as there is no one else
to share the cookies.
Therefore, 9 cookies are to be divided amongst 1 person.
That is, 9 ÷ 1= 9
Dividing a number by itself
If any number is divided by itself, the answer will always
be one.
For Example: Ram’s family is back at home. They have
brought pizza for all of them. There are total 6 members
in the family including Ram. The pizza is divided in 6 equal
parts. How many parts will each member get?
71
Division
6 equal parts are to be shared amongst 6 members.
An Interesting
That is, 6 ÷ 6 = 1.
Poem on Division
Each member will get 1 part of pizza.
Therefore, we can say that any number divided by itself Division, division, division
gives 1 as the quotient. A terribly easy decision,

Similarly if 9 × 3 = 27, then
27 ÷ 9 = 3 and 27 ÷ 3 = 9
CHECKING THE ANSWER
Let us check our answer of the above solved problem:
The trick is (Quotient x Divisor) + Remainder = Dividend
So, on the left hand side we have,
Quotient = 75

To solve this, 20 x 15 = 300 numbers that are not divisible by
10, 100 etc.
Therefore, the quotient is 15.
Consider 529 ÷ 10
Now, try this estimated quotient.
Since the divisor is 10, then the
24 x 15 = 360 > 310 last digit (right most) of the
dividend is the remainder and the
24 x 14 = 336 > 310
number formed by the remaining
24 x 13 = 312 > 310 digits is the quotient.
24 x 12 = 288 < 310 ∴ Q = 52 and R = 9
Finally, Similarly
12  If the divisor is 100, then last
two digits of the dividend
24 310 is remainder and remaining
-288 digits is quotient.
22  If the divisor is 1000, then
Therefore, Quotient = 12 & the Remainder = 22. the last three digits of the
dividend is remainder and the
remaining digits is quotient.

CONVERTING FRACTIONS INTO DECIMALS


Fractions and decimals are two different ways to show
the same values: parts of wholes.
Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of
the fraction to make it 10, or 100, or 1000, or
any 1 followed by 0s.
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number.
Step 3: Then write down just the top number, putting
the decimal point in the correct spot. (one space
from the right hand side for every zero in the
bottom number.)

(a) 0.278 there are two numbers after the decimal point,
(b) 0.195 then use 100, if there are three then use 1000,

So 7 becomes 8 1. Find the place value you want (the "rounding digit")
(b) 0.195 = 0.20 as last digit is and look at the digit just to the right of it.

(c) 0.872 = 0.87 as third place
digit is 2. So, 7 remains 7 only. 3. If that digit is greater than or equal to five, add one
to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right
Hence 0.872 = 0.87.

1. (a) The difference between 1.2 and 0.6 is 0.6. In the options, the numbers 2.7 and 2.1
have the difference equal to 0.6.
2. (a) Zero as prefix before the decimal indicates that the number is smaller than 1.
3. (c) 5/100. The hundred in the denominator shows the hundredth place value. Which
will be equal to 0.05
4. (b) As 32.6 + 12.6 + 41.8 = 87.0
5. (b) As the fraction 7/10 is equal to 0.7 in decimal form. Similarly 0.07 in decimal form
can be written as 7/100 in fraction form. Thus 7/10: 0.7::7/100: 0.07.
6. (d) As 2.03 + 3.205 + 6.3 = 11.535
7. (b) The numbers are 0, 2, 3, 4. The largest out of these numbers are 4 and 3. The
smaller numbers are 0 and 2. Arranging the numbers in descending order up to two
decimal places, we have the largest number as 43.02, when arranging in ascending
order, we get the smallest number as 20.34.
8. (b) The numbers are 3,4,7 and 9. The largest out of these numbers are 7 and 9. The
smaller numbers are 3 and 4. Arranging the numbers in descending order up to two
decimal places, we have the largest number as 97.43, when arranging in ascending
order, we get the smallest number as 34.79.
9. (c) 14.7 > 14.3 is correct
10. (c) 4.4, ___, 4.8,___,5.2, 5.4. By studying the pattern we can see that the previous

LENGTH
The standard unit for measuring length is a metre. The
length of cloth, the height of a wall, the height of a
tree, the distance between two objects are all measured
in metres. Carpenters use measuring tape for making
furniture, cloth merchant use a meter rod for measuring
the length of clothes, measuring tape is also used by
tailors, masons etc. Metre is used to measure small
distances.

100 centimetres = 1 metre

100 cm = 1 m

We write ‘m’ for metre and ‘cm’ for centimetre. Smaller


lengths are measured in centimetres. Sometimes smaller
lengths are measured in decimetres. It is written as dm
and is equal to 10 centimetres.

WEIGHT
The standard unit for measuring mass or weight is a
kilogram. We weigh things in kilograms. Lighter objects
and smaller quantities of things are weighed in grams. We
write kilogram as Kg and gram as g.

2 Kg 5 Kg 10 Kg
1 Kg

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

Or

1kg = 1000 g

We use balance and weights to weigh things.

Solutions with Explanation


LEVEL 1
1. (a) Amount given to cashier = 2 x ` 5 + 4 x ` 10 + 3 x ` 50 + 2 x ` 500
= ` 10 + ` 40 + ` 150 + ` 1000
= ` 1200
Price of cricket kit is ` 1162
So, change to be returned back = ` 1200 – ` 1162 = ` 38.
2. (d) Cost of 5 cookies = ` 33
Cost of 1 cookie = 33/ 5 = ` 6.60
3. (b) Cost of 1 kg apples = ` 180
Cost of half kg apples = 180/ 2 = ` 90
Cost of 3 chocolates = ` 15
Cost of 1 chocolate = 15/ 3 = ` 5
So, Cost of half kg apples + 1 chocolate = ` 90 + ` 5 = ` 95
Hence, Ram needs to pay = ` 95.
4. (c) Cost of 1 pen = ` 8
Cost of 2 erasers = ` 5
Cost of 1 eraser = ` 5 / 2 = ` 2.50
Cost of 3 erasers = ` 2.50 x 3 = ` 7.50
Cost of 1 pen + 3 erasers = ` 8 + ` 7.50 = ` 15.50.
5. (b) One kg apples can be brought at ` 180 (given)
Let us see cost of 2 chocolates now
Cost of 3 chocolates = ` 15
Cost of 1 chocolate = 15 / 3 = ` 5
Cost of 2 chocolates = ` 5 x 2 = ` 10
Hence this statement is false.
6. (c) Cost of 1 chocolate = ` 5
For ` 122, number of chocolates = 122 / 5 = 24 + remainder 2
Ignore the remainder part
So, Maximum number of chocolates he can brought = 24.
7. (a) Money spent by Priya = ` 550 (shoes) + ` 275 (skirt) + ` 50 (movie DVD) = ` 875
Money spent by Payal = ` 250 (top) + ` 480 (bag) + ` 115 (book) + ` 500 (tennis
racket) = ` 1345
The total money spent by Priya and Payal together = ` 875 + ` 1345 = ` 2220.
8. (d) Money present with Payal initially = ` 2000
Money spent by Payal = ` 250 (top) + ` 480 (bag) + ` 115 (book) + ` 500 (tennis
racket) = ` 1345
Money left with Payal = ` 2000 - ` 1345 = ` 655.
EBD_7354
168 Olympiad Champs–Mathematics
9. (c) Money present with Priya initially = ` 1500
Money spent by Priya = ` 550 (shoes) + ` 275 (skirt) + ` 50 (movie DVD) = ` 875
Additional money spent to purchase a toy by Priya = ` 100
Total money spent by Priya = 875 + 99 = ` 974
Money left with Priya = ` 1500 - ` 974 = ` 526.
10. (d) Money left with Payal = ` 655
This is to be divided equally into 5 parts
So, one part amount will be = 655 / 5 = ` 131.
11. (a) ` 2465.25 = 246525 paise
12. (d) All of these
13. (c) ` 51.05 > ` 31.75 > ` 20.50 > ` 14.55 > ` 13.50 > ` 11.25
14. (d) ` 75 < ` 100 < ` 150 < ` 175 < ` 225 < ` 250 < ` 275 < ` 510 < ` 575
15. (d) Pooja has money equal to both Rahul and Rohan together, which means that Pooja
has half of the total money.
So, money present with Pooja = ` 150 / 2 = ` 75.
16. (d) According to the question only given information is that ,Rohan and Rahul has
money equal to Pooja = ` 75.
But there is no information to make out that how much both of these individually
has.
Hence, data provided in question is not sufficient to answer this question.
17. (a) Largest tower is of Kiran who has ` 1600, hence highest amount is with Kiran
18. (c) Highest amount = ` 1600 (with Kiran)
Lowest amount = ` 1200 (with Aruna)
Difference = ` 1600 - ` 1200 = ` 400.
19. (b) Let’s check all statement one by one.
Aruna had the maximum amount of money
Maximum amount is with Kiran = ` 1600, Hence statement (A) is false .
Total sum of money with Simran, Aruna and Kiran is ` 4200
Sum of money with Simran, Aruna and Kiran = ` 1400 +` 1200 + ` 1600 = ` 4200.
Hence statement (B) is true.
Simran had the least amount of money
Least amount is with Aruna = ` 1200, Hence statement (C) is false.
Difference between money of Simran and Aruna is ` 200
Difference between money of Simran and Aruna = ` 1400 - ` 1200 = ` 200. Hence
statement (D) is true.
20. (c) ` 7 and 7 paise = `7.07
21. (c) `54.89 + `32.00 + 745 p = `94.34.
22. (c) Cost of 24 tickets = `1000 × 3 = `3000
23. (d) As 53.41 – 25.70 = ` 27.71

24. (a) Cost of 5 pens = × 5 = ` 25.

LEVEL 2
26. (c) Let’s check options one by one:
According to option first:
Cost of (one kg apples + 2 pens) > Cost of (half kg apples + 5 pens)
So, cost of (`180+2x ` 8)> cost of(`180/2 + 5 x ` 8)
cost of( ` 180 +16) > cost of ( ` 90 + ` 40)
` 196 > ` 130
So this statement is true.
According to option second:
Cost of 5 erasers > Cost of 3 chocolates
We know that
Cost of 2 erasers = ` 5(given)
Therefore, Cost of 1 eraser = ` 5 / 2 = ` 2.50
Cost of 3 chocolates = ` 15 (given)
So, 5 × ` 2.50 > ` 15
` 12.50 > ` 15
So this statement is true.
According to option third:
Cost of 6 erasers > Cost of 3 chocolates.
We know that cost of 1 eraser= ` 2.50 and cost of 3 chocolates ` 15
So , 6x ` 2.50 > ` 15
` 15 > ` 15
Therefore ,this statement is false.
According to option forth:
Cost of (half kg apples + 2 pen + 1 eraser) > Cost of 9 chocolates.
Cost of 1 kg apples =` 180 (given)
Therefore, Cost of half kg apples= ` 180/2 = ` 90
Cost of 1 pen = ` 8 (given)
Therefore,Cost of 2 pen = 2 x ` 8 = ` 16
Cost of 2 erasers = ` 5 (given)
Therefore, Cost of 1 eraser = ` 5 / 2 = ` 2.50
Cost of 3 chocolates = ` 15 (given)
Therefore, cost of 1 chocolate = ` 15 / 3 = ` 5
And Cost of 9 chocolate = 9 x ` 5 = ` 45
Put all these value in the given statement
So , Cost of( ` 90 + ` 16 + ` 2.50) > Cost of (` 45)
` 108.50 > ` 45
Therefore, this statement is true.
27. (b) Let’s solve all options one by one
A. 
` 65 / 5 = ` 13
B. 
` 11.75 + ` 2.25 = ` 14
EBD_7354
170 Olympiad Champs–Mathematics
C. 
` 15.25 – ` 1.75 = ` 13.50
D.  12 x 50 paisa = ` 12 x ` 0.50 = ` 6
E. 
` 14.75 - 25 paisa = ` 14.75 - ` 0.25 = ` 14.50
Hence, Option (B) is correct.
28. (b) Remember change is giving back to, so it will be subtraction.
Yuvika paid (` 500) more than the price of book (` 465) as she was not having the
required exact amount.
So change she will get back = ` 500 - ` 465 = ` 35.
29. (b) Total money = ` 435 + ` 200 = ` 635
30. (a) `500 – (` 140 + `45 + `15 ) = `300
31. (a) Total money = ` 2000 + ` 500 + ` 100 + ` 50 + ` 10 + ` 5 = ` 2665
32. (b) If ` 100 and ` 5 notes are removed, then
remaining money = ` 2000 + ` 500 + ` 50 + ` 10 = ` 2560
This is to be divided equally among 4 children
So, each child will get = 2560 / 4 = ` 640.
33. (b) If two notes of ` 5, three notes of ` 10 and four notes of ` 50
Money added = 2 × ` 5 + 3 × ` 10 + 4 × ` 50 = ` 240
Total money now = Previous amount + added amount
= ` 2665 + ` 240
= ` 2905.
34. (d) Let’s check all option one by one
In Option (a), 5 notes of ` 100, 1 notes of ` 20, 2 notes of ` 10, 4 coins of Re 1, 3
coins of 50p & 4 coins of 25p
Total amount=5 x ` 100 + 1x` 20 + 2x ` 10 + 4 x ` 1 + 3x ` 0.50 + 4 x ` 0.25
= ` 500 + ` 20 + ` 20 + ` 4 + ` 1.50 + ` 1
= ` 546.50, this not right combination.
In option (b), 4 notes of ` 100, 4 notes of ` 20, 2 notes of ` 10, 10 coins of Re 1,
20 coins of 50p & 10 coins of 25p
Total amount = 4 x ` 100 + 4 x ` 20 + 2x ` 10 + 10 x ` 1 + 20x ` 0.50 + 10 x ` 0.25
= ` 400 + ` 80 +` 20 + ` 10 + ` 10 + ` 2.50
= ` 522.50, this is not right combination.
In option (c), 4 notes of ` 100, 5 notes of ` 20, 4 notes of ` 10, 2 coins of Re 1, 3
coins of 50p & 4 coins of 25p.
Total amount = 4 x ` 100 + 5 x ` 20 + 4x ` 10 + 2 x ` 1 + 3x ` 0.50 + 4 x ` 0.25
= ` 400 + ` 100 + ` 40 + ` 2 + ` 1.50 + ` 1
= ` 544.50,this not right combination.
In option (d), 5 notes of ` 100, 1 notes of ` 20, 2 notes of ` 10, 3 coins of Re 1, 2
coins of 50p & 4 coins of 25p.
Total amount = 5 x ` 100 + 1 x ` 20 + 2 x ` 10 + 3 x ` 1 + 2 x ` 0.50 + 4 x ` 0.25
171
Money
= ` 500 + ` 20 + ` 20 + ` 3 + Re 1 + Re 1
= ` 545,this is right combination.
Hence with option (d), Shikhar can buy the birthday present.
35. (b) 60000 – (42700 + 250) = `17050
36. (b) ` 73
37. (b) Jaysingh advised to distribute rice and wheat worth ` 50 and also give ` 20 every
6 months for 2 years.
There are 1000 people in king's kingdom.
So, Cost of rice and wheat = ` 50 x 1000 = ` 50,000
If ` 20 to be distributed every 6 months, it means money distributed 2 times in a
year. So in 2 years amount distributed 4 times.
Per person amount = ` 20 x 4 = ` 80
For 1000 people, amount to be distributed = ` 80 x 1000 = ` 80,000
So, total expenses of king in this case = ` 50,000 + ` 80,000 = ` 1,30,000.
38. (c) Vikrant suggested that king should distribute ` 25 as one time allowance and ` 5
per month for 11 months
Total amount per person = ` 25 + 5 x 11 = ` 25 + ` 55 = ` 80.
39. (c) Going by Jaysingh's advice, king's expenses = ` 130000 (as found in Q20)
Going by Vikrant's advice, kings expenses per person = ` 80
For 1000 people, king's expenses = ` 80 x 1000 = ` 80000
Ramsingh suggested that king should distribute ` 75 to each person in the kingdom
as a one-time allowance.
In this case, king's expenses = ` 75 x 1000 = ` 75000
Least of these is ` 75000
Hence, Ramsingh's advice will lead to least expenses for king.
40. (c) We know from Q21 that the total expenses if King decides to go by Vikrant’s
advice will be ` 80000
Hence statement (c) is NOT true.
41. (a) ` 354 × 28 = `9912
42. (a) Price of 1 US Dollar = ` 50 (given)
Price of 1 UK pound = ` 80 (given)
Amount with Rohan's father = 10 notes of 20 US Dollars + 5 notes of 10 UK pounds
= 10 x 20 x 50 + 5 x 10 x 80
= ` 10000 + ` 4000
= ` 14000.
43. (d) Amount present with Sohan's father:
•  1 note of ` 1000 = 1 x ` 1000 = ` 1000
•  2 notes of ` 500 = 2 x ` 500 = ` 1000
•  4 notes of ` 100 = 4 x ` 100 = ` 400
•  7 notes of ` 50 = 7 x ` 50 = ` 350
•  3 notes of ` 20 = 3 x ` 20 = ` 60
EBD_7354
172 Olympiad Champs–Mathematics
Sum = ` 1000 + ` 1000 + ` 400 + ` 350 + ` 60 = ` 2810
Sohan’s father needs to pay ` 3000 for fees
So, more money he requires = ` 3000 - ` 2810 = ` 190.
44. (b) Total amount spent = Tickets of 2 adults + tickets of 2 children + cost of food +
cost of bananas
= 2 x ` 50 + 2 x ` 20 + ` 200 + ` 50
= ` 100 + ` 40 + ` 200 + ` 50 = ` 390.
45. (c) Initially money father had = ` 1000
Total amount spent during zoo visit = ` 390
Also, father lost from his purse = ` 110
So, remaining amount with father = ` 1000 - ` 390 - ` 110 = ` 500.
46. (b) Total amount with Mohini = ` 100 + ` 50 + ` 20 + ` 10 + ` 5 + ` 10 + ` 5 + Re 1 + `
0.50 + ` 0.25 + ` 0.10 = ` 201.85
47. (c) `3572 is left
48. (d) Let’s check all option one by one:
In option (a), 8 coins of 25p, 6 coins of 50p & 6 coins of Re 1
Total amount = 8x ` 0.25 + 6 x ` 0.50 + 6 x Re 1
= ` 2+ ` 3 + ` 6 = ` 11 ,its not a right combination.
In option (b), 2 coins of 25p, 12 coins of 50p & 4 coins of Re 1
Total amount = 2x ` 0.25 + 12 x ` 0.50 + 4 x Re 1
= ` 0.50 + ` 6 + ` 4 = ` 10.50 , its not a right combination
In option (c), 8 coins of 25p, 4 coins of 50p & 5 coins of Re 1
Total amount = 8x ` 0.25 + 4 x ` 0.50 + 5 x Re 1
= ` 4 + ` 2 + ` 5 = ` 11, its not a right combination.
In option (d), 4 coins of 25p, 8 coins of 50p & 5 coins of Re 1
Total amount = 4 x ` 0.25 + 8 x ` 0.50 + 5 x Re 1
= Re 1 + ` 4 + ` 5
= ` 10 .its a right combination.
Hence, Raj can buy ice-cream with money in option (d).
49. (a) Money with Sumit = ` 2000
Money spent by him = ` 400 (ticket) + ` 50 (cap) + ` 30 (cold drink) + ` 100 (charity)
= ` 580
Money left with him = ` 2000 - ` 580 = ` 1420.
50. (a) As 23 × 25p + 4 × 50 p + 1000 p
= 1775 p = ` 17.75

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This lesson will help you to:—

Historical preview v learn about measurement of time (hour and minutes).

v In ancients times people used v identify the duration of day and night.
to tell the time by watching
v study calendar with dates and days.
the position of sun in the
sky. They invented Obelisks v express time, using the terms, ‘a.m.’ and ‘p.m.’
(slender, tapering, four-sided
monuments) which were built QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW
as early as 3500 B.C. Obelisks
were special because they used Don’t we talk about time all the time like:
moving shadows to tell about
the time. Later on Egyptians Time to take a bath.
modified it and made Sundials.
Time to eat food.

Time to sleep.

Wake up time.

So,” What is time?”

Just like you have length to measure your garden, height


to measure how tall you are, weight for the mass of
your body, time is a measure for events. Events that are
happening now or that had happened before.

Like length, weight or height have units, Time also has


units and those are years, months, weeks, days, hours,
minutes and seconds.

To measure with hours, minutes and seconds we use clock.


In a day we have 24 hours.
Time and Calendar 175
CLOCK AND TIME
A clock dial has 60 divisions. These divisions show minutes
or seconds. There are 12 numerals marked from 1 to 12
on clock face which are at an equal distances. 5th division
is marked with 1, 10th division with 2 and so are 15th,
20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, 55th, and 60th
divisions marked with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12
respectively. These divisions, generally shown with longer
lines than other divisions, represent hours (see the clock
dial given)

The minute hand takes 60 seconds in moving from one


division to next division. This is known as 1 minute.

60 seconds = 1 minute.

The minute hand takes 5 minutes in reaching from one


marked numeral to next marked numeral. And in completing
one full revolution it takes 60 minutes. This is called one
hour.

60 minutes = 1 hour

An hour hand moves from one numeral to next numeral in


60 minutes.

Further we have seconds hand which takes 1 minute to


complete one round. 60 seconds = 1 minute

CALENDAR
There is a way of measuring time in months, weeks or days
Amazing Fact
and that is called a calendar. We have 12 months namely
v Months of the Year : Have you January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August,
ever looked at the calendar and September, October, November and December. Some
wondered where the names of months have 30 days and some have 31 days. February is a
the months came from? The month where we have 28 days but every leap year we have
origins of our calendar came February with 29 days. To remember that which month
from the old Roman practice has got 30 and 31days we can use this poem.
of starting each month on a 30 days have September,
new moon. The Roman book April, June and November,
- keepers would keep their
All the rest have 31,
records in a ledger called a
"kalendarium" and this is where Excepting February alone.
we get the word - Calendar. Which only has but 28 days clear
and 29 in each leap year.
Further 7days makes a week. Name of the days are-
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday.

A poem for the days of the week:


Leap Year: Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Every fourth year is called as a Wednesday's child is full of cheer
leap year. The year divisible by 4 Thursday's child is sweet and dear
is a leap year. Every year has 52 Friday's child is loving and kind
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays
etc. Saturday's child is happy all the time
The 365th day of a normal year Sunday's child is honest and true
can be Monday or Tuesday or But the sweetest child belongs to you.
Wednesday, etc. Leap year has
364 + 2 days. So 52 weeks + 2
days = 366 days = leap year.
Example :- If today is Wednesday
then what day was day before
yesterday?
Sol. If today is Wednesday, then
yesterday was Tuesday and day
before yesterday was Monday.

o Circle
v A circle is a closed figure formed by points equidistant
from a fixed point.
v Every circle has a fixed centre.
v The perimeter of the circle is called its circumference.
v The distance between the centre and any point on
the circle is called its radius.
v A line segment passing through the centre of the
circle, whose end points lie on the circle is called the
diameter of the circle.

into unit squares.

Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5
5 5
= 20 units

Area = 5 × 5 = 25 square units.
5 (i) 
Let us now remove a square unit from it and then
calculate the area and perimeter of the whole square.

41. (c) Perimeter of grass garden = 30 m + 10 m + 30 m + 10 m = 80 m.
Perimeter of flower garden = 10 m + 10 m + 10 m + 10 m = 40 m.
So, perimeter of grass garden is more than perimeter of flower garden. Hence,
statement C is correct.
Therefore, the answer is option (c) C.
42. (a) Length of grass garden = 2 × (10) = 20 m.
Now, perimeter of grass garden = 2 (length + width)
= 2 (20 + 10) = 60 m.
43. (d) Since, flower garden is of square shape, therefore
Perimeter = 4 × (one side) = 4 × 10 = 40 m.
44. (a) The shape of flower garden is a square.
Therefore, the answer is option (a) square.
45. (a) The perimeter of grass garden = 80 m.
The perimeter of flower garden = 40 m.

Therefore, the answer is option (a) 40 m.
46. (d) Since, perimeter of the table cloth = 5 m + 2 m + 5 m + 2 m = 14 m.
\ Statement A is false.
Since, perimeter is 14 m, so Jhilmil aunty needs only 14m of cloth. So, statement
B is false.
Since, the table cloth is in the shape of a rectangle so statement C is true.
Length of lace left = 20 m – 14 m = 6 m. So, statement D is true.
Therefore, the answer is option (d) F F T T.
47. (a) Jhilmil aunty require 14 m of lace. Therefore, the answer is option (a) 14 m.
48. (b) Length of the lace left would be 6 m. Therefore, the answer is option (b) 6 m.
49. (c) Perimeter of pillow = 70 cm + 30 cm + 70 cm + 30 cm = 200 cm
= 2 m (as 1 m = 100 cm)
Milly aunty will use 2 m of lace.
Length of lace left = 6 m – 2 m = 4 m
Therefore, the answer is option (c) 4 m.
Area and Perimeter 227
50. (c) Perimeter of the kitchen = 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 = 18 units.

Solutions with Explanation


LEVEL 1
1. (b) Add 13 to each number.
2. (c) We have to subtract 22 from each number.
3. (a) We have to multiply 3 to each number.
4. (b) We have to add 4 to each number. If we add 4 to 21 it is 25 not 26.
5. (b) Except option (b) all are multiples of 11.
6. (d)
7. (c)
8. (b) All the others are cube e.g.- 2’s cube is 8, 3’s cube is 27 and so on.
9. (b)
10. (d)
11. (c) Subtract the numbers;
55 – 42 = 13
69 – 56 = 13
48 – 34 = 14
95 – 82 = 13
Here, 48 – 34 = 14 which is not similar to the other.
Therefore, 48 – 34 is the odd pair of numbers.
12. (c) Multiply 2.5 to the first number to get the second number.
18 × 2.5 = 45
16 × 2.5 = 40
14 × 2.5 = 35
8 × 2.5 = 20
Hence, 14 × 2.5 ≠ 28
Therefore, 14 - 28 is the odd pair of numbers.
13. (b)
14. (b)
15. (b)
16. (c) First letter moves 6 steps forward. Second letter moves 6 steps backward.
17. (c) The first letter moves 2, 3, 4 ... steps forward. The second letter moves 2, 3, 4 ...
steps backward.
18. (d) The first letter moves one step forward. The second letter moves one step
backward.
19. (d) The first letters are alternate. The second letter of moves one step backward to
obtain the second letter of the successive term. The third letter moves two steps
backward to obtain the third letter of the subsequent term.
20. (d) The letters move four steps backward to obtain the letters of the next term.
21. (a) The letters move five steps forward.
22. (a) The first, second and third letters move three steps forward, four steps backward
and two steps forward respectively.
23. (c) Each term consists of three consecutive letters in reverse order. The first letter
and the last letter of the next term are the same.

24. (d) The first letter moves 2, 3, 4 ... steps forward. The second letter moves 3, 4, 5 ...
steps forward.
25. (c) The letters move four steps forward.
26. (d) The letters are coded accordingly P as 2, E as 4, A as 1, R as 5 and L as 3. So PEARL
is coded as 24153.
27. (c) The letters are coded accordingly S as 2, E as 1, A as 4, R as 6, C as 7 and H as 3.
i.e., 214673.
28. (b) As 10 + 6 + 2 = 18 and 18 = 9
2
Also 12 + 3 + 5 = 20 and 20 = 10
2
So, 9 + 8 + 5 = 22 and 22 = 11

B. 2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8
In this pattern even numbers are occurring two times but 6 is occuring
three times. Thus, this pattern is false.
C. 1, 1, 0, 2, 2, 0, 3, 3, 3
In this pattern, the rule is number will occur two times followed by 0. But
here 3 is occurring 3 times. Thus, this pattern is false.
D. 2, 4, 6, 8, 110
In this pattern, the rule is even numbers. Thus, the pattern is true.
Therefore, the answer is option (c) T F F T.
52. (a) A. 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, ......
Here, the rule is add 5.
2 + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 and so on. Thus, the pattern is true.
