Question 1: Without performing actual addition and division write the quotient when the sum of 69 and 96 is divided by
(i) 11
(ii) 15

Answer 1: (i) Clearly, 69 and 96 are two numbers such that one can be obtained be reversing the digits of the other. Therefore, when the sum of 69 and 96 is divided by 11, we get 15 (sum of the digits) as quotient.
(ii) Clearly, 69 and 96 are two numbers such that one can be obtained be reversing the digits of the other. Therefore, when the sum of 69 and 96 is divided by 15 (sum of the digits), we obtain 11 as quotient. 

Question 2: Without performing actual computations, find the quotient when 94 − 49 is divided by
(i) 9
(ii) 5

Answer 2:  (i) We know that when abba  is divided by 9, the quotient is ab.Therefore, when (9449) is divided by 9, the quotient is (94 = 5).(ii) We know that when abba is divided by (ab), the quotient is 9.Therefore, when (9449) is divided by (94=5), the quotient is 9.Question 3: If sum of the number 985 and two other numbers obtained by arranging the digits of 985 in cyclic order is divided by 111, 22 and 37 respectively.

Answer 11 : A number is divisible by 11, if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places is either 0 or a multiple of 11.Sum of digits at odd places−Sum of digits at even places=(6 + x + 9)(7 + 1)=(15 + x)8=x + 7 x + 7 =11  x = 4

Question 12: Find the remainder when 981547 is divided by 5. Do this without doing actual division. 

Answer 12: If a natural number is divided by 5, it has the same remainder when its unit digit is divided by 5.Here, the unit digit of 981547 is 7. When 7 is divided by 5, remainder is 2.Therefore, remainder will be 2 when 981547 is divided by 5.  

Question 13: Find the remainder when 51439786 is divided by 3. Do this without performing actual division.

Answer 13: Sum of the digits of the number 51439786 = 5 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 9 + 7 + 8 + 6 = 43

The remainder of 51439786, when divided by 3, is the same as the remainder when the sum of the digits is divided 3.

When 43 is divided by 3, remainder is 1.

Therefore, when 51439786 is divided by 3, remainder will be 1. 

Question 14: Find the remainder, without performing actual division, when 798 is divided by 11.

Answer 14: 798 =A multiple of 11 + (Sum of its digits at odd places − Sum of its digits at even places)798 =A multiple of 11 + (7 + 8  9)798 =A multiple of 11 + (15  9)798 =A multiple of 11 + 6Therefore, the remainder is 6.

Question 15: Without performing actual division, find the remainder when 928174653 is divided by 11.

Answer 15: 928174653= A multiple of 11 + (Sum of its digits at odd places −Sum of its digits at even places)

928174653= A multiple of 11 + {(9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 3) − (2 + 1 + 4 + 5)}928174653= A multiple of 11 + (33  12)928174653= A multiple of 11 + 21928174653= A multiple of 11 + (11 × 1 + 10)928174653= A multiple of 11 + 10Therefore, the remainder is 10.

Question 24: Solve each of the following Cryptarithm: 

RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Math Chapter 5 - Playing with Numbers (Part-1) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

Answer 24: 0 is the only unit digit number, which gives the same 0 at the unit digit when multiplied by 4. So, the possible value of B is 0.Similarly, for A also, 0 is the only possible digit.But then A, B and C will all be 0.And if A, B and C become 0, these numbers cannot be of two−digit or three−digit.Therefore, both will become a onedigit number.Thus, there is no solution possible.

FAQs on RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Math Chapter 5 - Playing with Numbers (Part-1) - RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

1. What is the concept of "Playing with Numbers" in Class 8 Mathematics?
Ans. "Playing with Numbers" is a chapter in Class 8 Mathematics that focuses on various number patterns, divisibility rules, and number operations. Students learn how to identify prime and composite numbers, find factors and multiples, and solve problems involving number operations.
2. How can I determine if a number is prime or composite?
Ans. To determine if a number is prime or composite, we need to check if it has any factors other than 1 and itself. If a number has factors other than these, it is composite. If it only has 1 and itself as factors, it is prime. For example, to check if 23 is prime or composite, we need to see if it has any factors other than 1 and 23. Since it doesn't, 23 is a prime number.
3. What are factors and multiples? How are they related?
Ans. Factors are the numbers that divide a given number completely without leaving any remainder. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Multiples, on the other hand, are the numbers that are obtained by multiplying a given number by any whole number. For example, the multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, and so on. Factors and multiples are related in the sense that the factors of a number are also its multiples. For example, the factors of 6 (1, 2, 3, and 6) are also its multiples.
4. How can I find the LCM and HCF of two or more numbers?
Ans. To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers, we need to find the smallest number that is divisible by all the given numbers. One way to find the LCM is by listing the multiples of each number and finding the smallest common multiple. To find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two or more numbers, we need to find the largest number that divides all the given numbers. One way to find the HCF is by listing the factors of each number and finding the largest common factor.
5. How can I apply divisibility rules to quickly check if a number is divisible by another number?
Ans. Divisibility rules are rules that help us determine if a number is divisible by another number without performing the actual division. For example, a number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even, and it is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. Similarly, there are rules for divisibility by 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. By applying these rules, we can quickly check if a number is divisible by another number, which can be useful in simplifying calculations and solving problems.
