Finally, we add 40 + 10:
50 + 3
The result is 53.

(ii) 18 + 3 + 2 + 17 =

Ans: 18 + 3 + 2 + 17:
We don't need to split any numbers in this case.
First, we add 18 + 3:
21 + 2 + 17
Next, we add 21 + 2:
23 + 17
The result is 40.

(iii) 9 + 41 + 11 + 2 =

Ans: 9 + 41 + 11 + 2:
We don't need to split any numbers in this case.
First, we add 9 + 41:
50 + 11 + 2
Next, we add 50 + 11:
61 + 2
The result is 63.

(iv) 47 + 7 + 33 + 23 =

Ans: 47 + 7 + 33 + 23:
We don't need to split any numbers in this case.
First, we add 47 + 7:
54 + 33 + 23
Next, we add 54 + 33:
87 + 23
The result is 110.

(v) 23 + 26 + 27 + 34 =

Ans: 3 + 26 + 27 + 34:
We don't need to split any numbers in this case.
First, we add 23 + 26:
49 + 27 + 34
Next, we add 49 + 27:
76 + 34
The result is 110.

Q2: Add 27 and 98 by Vedic Math

Ans: Vedic maths tells us to...add 30 and 100 which is 130 and then subtract (3+2) i.e. the deficiency from 130. So the result will be 125.

Q3: Add 66 and 576.

Ans: Vedic maths tells us to add 70 and 580 which is 650 and then subtract (4+4) i.e. the deficiency from 650. So the result will be 642.

Q4: 220 + 364 + 44 + 18 = ?

Ans: Vedic maths tells us to break the numbers as per their place values. So, we will break the addition into:
200 + 300 = 500
20 + 60 + 40 + 10 = 130
4 + 4 + 8 = 16
Repeat the process:
500 + 100 = 600
30 + 10 = 40
And at the units place we have 6.
Now perform, 600 + 40 + 6 = 646

Q5: Add from left to right
(i) 6 6 + 5 5

Ans: 121

(ii) 5 4 6 + 6 7 1

Ans: 1217

Ans: 1251

(iv) 1 4 5 7  + 2 8 5 7

Ans: 4314

(v) 4 5 + 7 6

Ans: 121
