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…….

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.

QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW
More on the floor ?????
Go next door, get ten more. WHAT IS SUBTRACTION?
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
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.
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.

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

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.

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
Divisor = 6
Remainder = 1
& on the right hand side we have
Dividend = 451
The answer would be correct if left hand side = Right
hand side
Left hand side
(75 x 6) + 1 = 450 + 1 = 451

Finding Factors
Factors are numbers that you multiply together to get another
number. For example, 2 multiplied by 4 equals 8. So 2 and 4 are
the factors of 8.
Find the factors of the numbers given below. See the example.
10 = _________
2 × 5 18 = _________
24 = _________ 30 = _________
32 = _________ 39 = _________

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.

33. (c) The decreasing order of the bangles is D A C B.
Therefore, the answer is option (c).
34. (c) Difference between perimeters = 28 cm – 24 cm = 4 cm.
35. (a) Area of the figure = 3 × 3 + 12 × 11 = 9 + 132 = 141 m2.
36. (c) Both the statements are correct.
37. A: The boundary of the plot = 100 m + 100 m + 80 m + 80 m = 360 m.
Therefore, the answer is option (b) 360 m.
B: Length of the boundary Bahadur walks = 5 × 360 m -= 1800 m.
Therefore, the answer is option (d) 1800 m.
C: Boundary of parking area = 10 m + 10 m + 7 m + 7 m = 34 m.
Therefore, the answer is option (a) 34 m.
D: The length of the boundary of parking area Bahadur walks
= 15 × 34 m = 510 m.
Therefore, the answer is option (b) 510 m.

Perimeter = 14 inches
Perimeter = 10 cm
Perimeter = 20 m
Perimeter = 16 feet
Perimeter = 12 metres.
75. (b) Since, boundary of Park E is less than Park C, so statement C is incorrect.
Therefore, the answer is option (b) C.

the opposite order of numbers. This pattern is true.
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.
