Gunjan Lakhani answered
To solve this, let's first find the sum of 178 and 69:
178+69=247
Now, we round 247 to the nearest hundred.
  • The nearest hundred to 247 is 200 because 247 is closer to 200 than to 300.
So, the sum of 178 and 69 rounded to the nearest hundred is 200.

Understanding Triangular Numbers
Triangular numbers are formed by the sum of the natural numbers. The nth triangular number is given by the formula:
- T(n) = n(n + 1)/2
For example:
- T(1) = 1
- T(2) = 3
- T(3) = 6
- T(4) = 10
- T(5) = 15
- T(6) = 21
- T(7) = 28
- T(8) = 36
Understanding Square Numbers
Square numbers are the result of multiplying a number by itself. The nth square number is given by the formula:
- S(n) = n^2
For example:
- S(1) = 1
- S(2) = 4
- S(3) = 9
- S(4) = 16
- S(5) = 25
- S(6) = 36
Identifying the Correct Option
Now, let's evaluate the options to see which one is both a triangular and a square number.
- Option a) 25: Not a triangular number (T(6) = 21, T(7) = 28)
- Option b) 36:
- Triangular: T(8) = 36
- Square: S(6) = 36
- Option c) 8: Not a triangular or square number
- Option d) 4: Square (S(2) = 4) but not triangular (T(2) = 3)
Conclusion
The only number that is both a triangular number and a square number is 36. Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Abhay Datta answered
Understanding Roman Numerals
Roman numerals are a numeric system that originated in ancient Rome, using combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to represent numbers. Each letter has a specific value, which is added or subtracted based on its placement in relation to other letters.
Values of Key Roman Numerals
- I = 1
- V = 5
- X = 10
- L = 50
- C = 100
- D = 500
- M = 1000
Breaking Down 400 in Roman Numerals
To represent the number 400 in Roman numerals, we need to consider how the values combine:
- The letter "C" stands for 100.
- Therefore, "CD" represents 400, which is achieved by subtracting 100 (C) from 500 (D).
Why Not the Other Options?
- CL (150): This represents 100 + 50, which equals 150.
- LD (Not Valid): There’s no valid Roman numeral for 450; "L" (50) cannot precede "D" (500) in this way.
- XC (90): This signifies 100 - 10, which equals 90, not relevant to 400.
Conclusion
The correct Roman numeral for 400 is "CD", making option A the correct answer. Understanding the principles of addition and subtraction in Roman numerals is crucial for interpreting and writing these numbers accurately.

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)

  • b)
    170
  • c)
    180
  • d)
    190
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Vp Classes answered
During the finals, 10050 tickets were sold, whereas for the semi-final match, only 9872 tickets were sold. To find out how many more tickets were sold during the finals, we subtract the number of tickets sold for the semi-finals from the number of tickets sold during the finals. Therefore, 10050 - 9872 = 178. Since we need to estimate to the nearest tens, the answer would be 180.

    25
  • b)
    9
  • c)
    10
  • d)
    8
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Sequence
The given sequence is 1, 3, 6, __, 15. To find the missing term, let's analyze the pattern between the numbers.
Identifying the Pattern
- The first term is 1.
- The second term (3) can be derived from the first term by adding 2:
1 + 2 = 3
- The third term (6) can be derived from the second term by adding 3:
3 + 3 = 6
Finding the Missing Term
Now, we need to find the missing term, which we will denote as x. Following the established pattern:
- The next step involves adding 4 to the previous term:
6 + 4 = x
Therefore, x = 10.
Continuing the Pattern
- To verify, we check the next term (15):
- Adding 5 to the missing term:
10 + 5 = 15
This confirms that our missing term is correct.
Conclusion
Thus, the missing term in the sequence is:
- 10 (option 'C').
This sequence is an example of a pattern where each term increases by an incrementally larger number (2, 3, 4, 5, ...), resulting in 10 being the right answer.

If you start with the number 2 and keep adding 2, what sequence are you creating?

1 Million Defined
- 1 million is a numerical value represented as 1,000,000.
- This number signifies one thousand thousands.
Breaking Down the Number
To comprehend how many thousands are in a million, we can break it down:
- 1 thousand = 1,000
- Therefore, to find out how many thousands fit into 1 million, we perform the following calculation:
- 1,000,000 (which is 1 million) ÷ 1,000 (which is 1 thousand) = 1,000.
Conclusion
Thus, it is clear that:
- 1 million is equal to 1,000 thousands.
- Hence, the correct answer to the question is option C: 1000.
Understanding these relationships helps in grasping larger concepts in mathematics and can be particularly useful in topics such as finance, statistics, and data interpretation. Recognizing how many thousands make up a million enhances numerical literacy, especially for students in Class 6 and beyond.

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

Coders Trust answered
The price of the school bag is 250 Rs. 95 paise, while Priya has 210 Rs. 25 paise. To determine how much more money she needs, we first convert both amounts into paise.
  • 250 Rs. 95 paise = 250 × 100 + 95 = 25,095 paise
  • 210 Rs. 25 paise = 210 × 100 + 25 = 21,025 paise
Next, we subtract the amount Priya has from the total price of the bag:
25,095 paise - 21,025 paise = 4,070 paise
Therefore, Priya requires 4070 paise more to purchase the bag.
