Q. In each of the following, there are two groups of numbers. Look carefully at the numbers in each group and their sums. Interchange pairs of numbers between the two groups to make their sums equal. Try to do this using the least number of moves. You could write each number on a small piece of paper.

Ans:

Swap (2 ↔ 3) → both sums become 20. (1 move)

Swap (5 ↔ 9) → both sums become 43. (1 move)

Swap (11 ↔ 13) and (15 ↔ 17) → both sums become 72. (2 moves)

Swap (77 ↔ 81) and (78 ↔ 82) → both sums become 322. (2 moves)

Relationship Between Addition and Subtraction

Q1. Find the relationship between the numbers in the given statements and fill in the blanks appropriately. 
(a)  If 46 + 21 = 67, then,
67 – 21 = _______.
67 – 46 = _______.
(b)  If 198 – 98 = 100, then,
100 + _______ = 198.
198 – _______ = 98.
(c) If 189 + 98 = 287, then,
287 – 98 = _______.
287 – 189 = _______.
(d) If 872 – 672 = 200, then,
200 + _______ = 872.
872 – _______ = 672.
Ans:
(a) If 46 + 21 = 67, then,
67 – 21 = 46.
67 – 46 = 21.
(b) If 198 – 98 = 100, then,
100 + 98 = 198.
198 – 100 = 98.
(c) If 189 + 98 = 287, then,
287 – 98 = 189.
287 – 189 = 98.
(d) If 872 – 672 = 200, then,
200 + 672 = 872.
872 – 200 = 672.

Q2. In each of the following, write the subtraction and addition sentences that follow from the given sentence.

Ans:
(a) If 78 + 164 = 242, then
242 − 164 = 78
242 − 78 = 164
(b) If 462 + 839 = 1301, then
1301 − 839 = 462
1301 − 462 = 839
(c) If 921 − 137 = 784, then
784 + 137 = 921
921 – 784 = 137
(d) If 824 − 234 = 590, then
824 – 590 = 234
590 + 234 = 824

Sums of Consecutive Numbers

Numbers that follow one another in order without skipping any number are called consecutive numbers. Here are some examples —Q1. In each of the boxes above, state whether the sums are even or odd. Explain why this is happening.
Ans: (i) Sum of 2 consecutive numbers: Always odd.
Reason: Each pair has one even and one odd number; even + odd = odd.
(ii) Sum of 3 consecutive numbers can be even-odd-even or odd-even-odd. Their sum alternate between even and odd depending on the starting number.
(iii) Sum of 4 consecutive numbers: Always even.
Reason: There are two evens and two odds. Even + even = even, odd + odd = even, and even + even = even.

Q2. What is the difference between the two successive sums in each box? Is it the same throughout?
Ans: (i) Sum of 2 consecutive numbers: 
Differences:
5 – 3 = 2
7 – 5 = 2
9 – 7 = 2.
The difference is always 2.
(ii) Sum of 3 consecutive numbers: 
Differences:
9 – 6 = 3
12 – 9 = 3
15 – 12 = 3
The difference is always 3.
(iii) Sum of 4 consecutive numbers:
Differences:
14 – 10 = 4
18 – 14 = 4
22 – 18 = 4
The difference is always 4.
So, the difference between successive sums is the same throughout each box.

Q3. What will be the difference between two successive sums for:
(a) 5 consecutive numbers 
(b) 6 consecutive numbers
Ans:
(a) Sum of 5 consecutive numbers:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 20
3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 25
Difference: 20 – 15 = 5, 25 – 20 = 5.
The difference is 5.
(b) Sum of 6 consecutive numbers:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21
2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 27
3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 33
Difference: 27 – 21 = 6, 33 – 27 = 6.
The difference is 6.

Q2. The great Indian road trip!
Nazrana and her friends planned a road trip across India, starting from Delhi. They first drove to Mumbai, then Goa, then Hyderabad, and finally Puri.
Look at the distances marked on the map and help them find the total distance travelled.
Ans: In the given map, the distances between the cities are as follows:
Delhi to Mumbai = 1600 km.
Mumbai to Goa = 590 km
Goa to Hyderabad = 670 km
Hyderabad to Puri = 1055 km
Total distance = 1600 + 590 + 670 + 1055 = 3915 km.
The total distance travelled by Nazrana and her friends is 3,915 km.

This sum is closest to 10,000 and all other possible combinations give sums that are much higher than 10,000.
(b) 15,000
Ans: 6,220 + 8,455 = 14,675
This sum is closest to 15,000 and all other possible and combinations give sums that are much higher or much lower than 15,000.
(c) 13,000
Ans: 8,455 + 4,840 = 13,295
This sum is closest to 13,000 and all other possible combinations give sums that are much higher or much lower than 13,000.
(d) 16,000
Ans: 7,095 + 8,455 = 15,550
This sum is closest to 16,000 and all other possible combinations give sums that are much lower than 16,000.

Q2. Mary’s train journey to Delhi.
Mary is on a train journey. She starts from Kolkata with ₹12,540.
She spends ₹3,275 on food and other expenses during her trip to Varanasi. In Varanasi, her uncle gives her a gift worth ₹4,900. She then travels to Delhi, spending ₹2,645 on the train ticket. She spends ₹1,275 on souvenirs in Delhi. How much money is Mary left with at the end of the Delhi trip?
Ans: Mary starts her journey from Kolkata with ₹ 12,540. 
She spent ₹ 3,275 on food and other expenses to reach Varanasi. 
In Varanasi, her uncle gave her ₹ 4,900 as a gift. 
She then spent ₹ 2,645 on a train ticket to Delhi. 
In Delhi, she bought souvenirs worth ₹ 1,275.
Total money she had after receiving gift = ₹ 12,540 + ₹ 4,900 = ₹ 17,440
Total expenses during the Journey
= ₹ 3,275 + ₹ 2,645 + ₹ 1,275 = ₹ 7,195
Money left with Mary
= ₹ 17,440 – ₹ 7,195 = ₹ 10,245
Thus, Mary had ₹ 10,245 left after completing her Delhi trip.

Q3. Members of a school council have raised ₹ 70,500. They plan to setup a Maths Lab with some games and models worth ₹ 39,785, buy library books worth ₹ 9,545, and purchase sports equipment worth ₹ 19,548. 
(a) Estimate whether the school council has raised enough money to make the purchases. Share your thoughts in the class. 
(b) Check your estimate with calculations.
Ans: (a) Estimated amount required for Math lab with some games and models (₹ 39,785) = ₹ 40,000.
Estimated amount required for library books (19,545) = ₹ 10,000
Estimated amount required for sports equipment (₹ 19,548) = ₹ 20,000
Total estimated amount
= ₹ 40,000 + ₹ 10,000 + ₹ 20,000 = ₹ 70,000
Amount raised = ₹ 70,500.
So, school council has enough money
(b) Now, calculating actual total cost:
₹ 39,785 + ₹ 9,545 + ₹ 19,548 = ₹ 68,878
Money raised by school council = ₹ 70,500.
Balance amount = ₹ 70,500 – ₹ 68,878 = ₹ 1,622.
Therefore, school council will be left with ₹ 1,622 after all the purchases.

Q4. A truck can carry 8,250 kg of goods. A factory loads 3,675 kg of cement and 2,850 kg of steel on it.
(a) What is the total weight loaded onto the truck?
(b) How much more weight can the truck carry before reaching its maximum capacity?
Ans: (a) Weight of cement = 3,675 kg
Weight of steel = 2,850 kg
Total weight of cement and steel
= 3,675 kg + 2,850 kg = 6,525 kg
So, total weight loaded onto the truck = 6,525 kg
(b) Maximum capacity of truck = 8,250 kg
Weight of cement and steel loaded on the truck = 6,525 kg
Remaining weight = 8,250 kg – 6,525 kg = 1,725 kg
So, the truck can carry 1,725 kg more before reaching its maximum capacity.

_____ = 32 – 9
= 23
(b) 66 – _____ = 9
_____ = 66 – 9
= 47
(c) 877 – _____ = 99
_____ = 877 – 99
