Dr Manju Sen answered
From 10, apply the sutra to 3.78: 3 from 9 is 6, 7 from 9 is 2, 8 from 10 is 2, giving 6.22. Add Rs. 10: 6.22 + 10 = 16.22. So, the change is Rs. 16.22.

Find 10000 - 0578 by adding zeros and using "All from 9 and the Last from 10."

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

Write 578 as 0578. Apply the sutra: 0 from 9 is 9, 5 from 9 is 4, 7 from 9 is 2, 8 from 10 is 2. So, 10000 - 578 = 9422.

Find 500 - 76 using "All from 9 and the Last from 10" and "One less than the one before."

Rohini Seth answered
Reduce 5 to 4 (one less than the one before). Apply the sutra to 76: 7 from 9 is 2, 6 from 10 is 4. Then, 500 - 76 = 400 + 24 = 424.

Subtract 489 from 1000 using the base method. What is the result?
  • a)
    521
  • b)
    511
  • c)
    501
  • d)
    491
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohini Seth answered
Using "All from 9 and the Last from 10": 4 from 9 is 5, 8 from 9 is 1, 9 from 10 is 1. So, 1000 - 489 = 511.

Subtract 56 from 92 using the left-to-right method. What is the result?
  • a)
    36
  • b)
    34
  • c)
    38
  • d)
    35
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gunjan Lakhani answered
From left: 9 - 5 = 4, but 2 < 6, so reduce to 3 and carry 1. Next, 12 - 6 = 6. Result: 36. Thus, 92 - 56 = 36.

Using the number splitting method, find 5842 - 2639.
  • a)
    3203
  • b)
    3103
  • c)
    3303
  • d)
    3003
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gunjan Lakhani answered
Split as 58|42 - 26|39. Calculate 58 - 26 = 32 and 42 - 39 = 3. Combine: 3203. Thus, 5842 - 2639 = 3203.

Calculate 73 - 48 using the "complete the whole" method near a base.
  • a)
    24
  • b)
    25
  • c)
    26
  • d)
    23
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

48 is near 50 (2 less). Subtract 50 from 73 to get 23, then add 2 back: 23 + 2 = 25. Thus, 73 - 48 = 25.

Using the "near a base" method, what is 47 - 19?
  • a)
    28
  • b)
    26
  • c)
    29
  • d)
    27
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Subset Academy answered
19 is close to 20 (1 less). Subtract 20 from 47 to get 27, then add 1 back: 27 + 1 = 28. Thus, 47 - 19 = 28.

Calculate 9000 - 4321 using "One more than the previous one" and "All from 9 and the Last from 10."
  • a)
    4679
  • b)
    4779
  • c)
    4579
  • d)
    4879
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

9 is reduced by 5 (one more than 4 from 4321) to get 4. Apply the sutra to 321: 3 from 9 is 6, 2 from 9 is 7, 1 from 10 is 9. So, 9000 - 4321 = 4679.
