Varun Kapoor answered
We have to find the least number that is divisible by all numbers from 1 to 10.
∴ LCM (1 to 10) = 23 × 32 × 5 × 7
= 2520
Thus, 2520 is the least number that is divisible by every element and is equal to the least common multiple.

Ascending Order of Numbers

To answer this question, we need to arrange the given numbers in ascending order, which means from the smallest to the largest number.

Steps to follow:

1. Compare the first two numbers and arrange them in ascending order.

2. Compare the third number with the first two numbers and place it in the correct position.

3. Similarly, compare the fourth number with the three numbers arranged till now and place it in the correct position.

4. Continue this process until all the numbers are arranged in ascending order.

Arranging the given numbers:

Let's follow the above steps to arrange the given numbers in ascending order.

1. Compare 847 and 9754. 847 is smaller than 9754. So, we can write 847 first.

2. Compare 8320 with 847. 8320 is larger than 847. So, we can write it after 847.

3. Compare 571 with the three numbers arranged till now. 571 is smaller than all three numbers. So, we can write it first.

4. Compare 9754 and 8320 with the three numbers arranged till now. 9754 is larger than all three numbers, and 8320 is larger than 571 and 847. So, we can write 8320 after 847 and 9754 after 8320.

Therefore, the correct ascending order of the given numbers is B) 571, 847, 8320, 9754.

Amar Singh answered
Understanding the Problem
To find the sum of 178 and 69 and round it to the nearest hundred, we first need to perform the addition.
Step 1: Calculate the Sum
- Add the numbers:
178 + 69 = 247
Step 2: Rounding to the Nearest Hundred
- To round 247 to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens digit, which is 4 in this case.
- According to rounding rules:
- If the tens digit is 5 or greater, we round up.
- If the tens digit is less than 5, we round down.
Step 3: Apply the Rounding Rule
- Since the tens digit is 4 (less than 5), we round down to the nearest hundred.
Final Result
- The nearest hundred to 247 is 200.
Answer Confirmation
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B': 200.
This method of addition and rounding provides a clear understanding of how to arrive at the answer systematically.

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashwin Chauhan answered
Converting 1 billion to million:
To convert 1 billion to million, you need to understand the concept of place value in numbers.

Understanding the place value:
- 1 billion is equal to 1,000 million because when you move down the place value chart from billion to million, you need to multiply by 1,000.

Conversion process:
- 1 billion = 1,000 million
- So, 1 billion is equivalent to 1,000 million.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' which represents 1 billion as 1000 million.

    1000
  • b)
    7400
  • c)
    7420
  • d)
    7440
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 6 answered
To find the sum of 3537 and 3884 to the nearest tens, we round each number to the nearest tens and then add them together.
Rounding 3537 to the nearest tens gives us 3540, and rounding 3884 to the nearest tens gives us 3880.
Adding these rounded numbers together gives us 7420, which is the nearest tens value for the sum of 3537 + 3884.

    44
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Arjun Yadav answered
Value of Roman Numeral XXIV
Roman numerals are a system of numerical notations used in ancient Rome. Each letter represents a different value. In this case, XXIV is a Roman numeral that represents the number 24.

Explanation
- The Roman numeral XX represents 20 (X=10, so XX=10+10=20)
- The Roman numeral IV represents 4 (I=1, V=5, so IV=5-1=4)
- When we combine XX and IV, we get 20 + 4 = 24
- Therefore, the value of the Roman numeral XXIV is 24.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the Roman numeral XXIV represents the number 24 in the decimal system. It is important to understand the value of each Roman numeral letter to correctly interpret and convert Roman numerals into regular numbers.

Estimated the value of the product of 108 and 12.
  • a)
    1000
  • b)
    1500
  • c)
    1700
  • d)
    2000
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 6 answered
The product of 108 and 12 can be estimated by rounding both numbers to the nearest ten. 108 rounds to 110 and 12 rounds to 10. Multiplying these rounded numbers gives us an estimate of 1100. However, since we rounded up for both numbers, the actual product will be slightly less than 1100. The closest option is 1000, which is the correct answer.

When 1 is subtracted from the smallest 5-digit number, what is the result?
  • a)
    Greatest 2-digit number
  • b)
    Greatest 3-digit number
  • c)
    Greatest 4-digit number
  • d)
    Smallest 2-digit number
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sanskriti Bose answered
Solution:

The smallest 5-digit number is 10,000.

When 1 is subtracted from 10,000, the result is:

10,000 - 1 = 9,999

To determine which option represents 9,999, we need to compare it to the greatest numbers in each option.

a) Greatest 2-digit number is 99, which is smaller than 9,999. So, option a is incorrect.
b) Greatest 3-digit number is 999, which is smaller than 9,999. So, option b is incorrect.
c) Greatest 4-digit number is 9,999, which is equal to the result. So, option c is correct.
d) Smallest 2-digit number is 10, which is smaller than 9,999. So, option d is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C: Greatest 4-digit number.

What is the even prime number?
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    1
  • d)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 6 answered
The only even prime number is 2. This is because a prime number is defined as a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. While all other even numbers can be divided by 2, making them not prime, 2 can only be divided by 1 and 2, making it the only even prime number.

The tickets sold for the semi-final IPL match were 9872, whereas 10050 tickets were sold during the finals. How many more tickets, estimated to the nearest tens, were sold during the finals?
  • a)
    160
  • b)
    170
  • c)
    180
  • d)
    190
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Ticket Sales
To find out how many more tickets were sold during the finals compared to the semi-final match, we need to perform a simple subtraction of the two ticket sales figures.
Step 1: Identify the Ticket Sales
- Semi-final tickets sold: 9872
- Final tickets sold: 10050
Step 2: Calculate the Difference
Now, we subtract the number of tickets sold during the semi-finals from the number sold during the finals:
- Difference = Final tickets - Semi-final tickets
- Difference = 10050 - 9872
Step 3: Perform the Calculation
- 10050 - 9872 = 178
So, the difference in tickets sold is 178.
Step 4: Estimate to the Nearest Tens
Now, we need to round this difference to the nearest ten. The number 178 falls between 170 and 180:
- Since the last digit (8) is greater than 5, we round up to 180.
Conclusion
Thus, the estimated number of tickets sold during the finals, rounded to the nearest tens, is 180. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C'.
This method of subtraction and rounding provides a clear understanding of the ticket sales comparison.

- The Roman numeral that represents the number 500 is "D."
- The letter "D" in Roman numerals stands for the number 500.
- It is formed by combining the letter "C" (which represents 100) with a horizontal line on top, signifying multiplication by 100. This results in the value of 500.

Options:
- Option A: "C" represents the number 100 in Roman numerals.
- Option B: "L" represents the number 50 in Roman numerals.
- Option C: "D" represents the number 500 in Roman numerals.
