Q.1. Fill in the blanks to make each of the following a true statements :
(i) 458 + 639 = 639 + ......
(ii) 864 + 2006 = 2006 + ......
(iii) 1946 + ...... = 984 + 1946
(iv) 8063 + 0 = ......

(v) 53501 + (574 + 799) = 574 + (53501 + ......)

Ans. (i) 458 + 639 = 639 + 458

(Commulative law)

(ii) 864 + 2006 = 2006 + 864

(Commulative law)

(iii) 1946 + 984 = 984 + 1946

(Commulative law)
(iv) 8063 + 0 = 8063

(Additive property of zero)
(v) 53501 + (574 + 799) = 574 + (53501 + 799)

(Associative law)

Q.2. Add the following numbers and check by reversing the order of the addents :
(i) 16509 + 114
(ii) 2359 + 548
(iii) 19753 + 2867
Ans.
(i) 16509 + 114 = 16623
Check : 16623 – 114 = 16509 which is given.
(ii) 2359 + 548 = 2907
Check : 2907 – 2359 = 548 which is given
(iii) 19753 + 2867 = 22620
Check : 22620 – 19753 = 2867 which is given

Q.3. Find the sum : (1546 + 498) + 3589. Also, find the sum : 1546 + (498 + 3589).
Are the two sums equal ? State the property satisfied.
Ans.
(1546 + 498) + 3589 = 2044 + 3589
= 5633
and 1546 + (498 + 3589) = 1546 + 4087
= 5633
Yes, the above two sum are equal.
The property used is associative law of addition.

Q.4. Determine each of the sums given below using suitable rearrangement.
(i) 953 + 707 + 647
(ii) 1983 + 647 + 217 + 353
(iii) 15409 + 278 + 691 + 422
(iv) 3259 + 10001 + 2641 + 9999
(v) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 96 + 97 + 98 + 99
(vi) 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 45 + 46 + 47 + 48
Ans.
(i) 953 + 707 + 647
= (953 + 647) + 707
(by associative law)
= 1600 + 707 = 2307
(ii) 1983 + 647 + 217 + 353
= (1983 + 217) + (647 + 353)
= 2200 + 1000 = 3200
(iii) 15409 + 278 + 691 + 422

= (15409 + 691) + (278 + 422)
(by associative law)
= 16100 + 700 = 16800
(iv) 3259 + 10001 + 2641 + 9999
= (3259 + 2641) + (10001 + 9999)
(by associative law)
= 5900 + 20000 = 25900
(v) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 96 + 97 + 98 + 99
= (1 + 99) + (2 + 98) + (3 + 97) + (4 + 96)
= (100 + 100) + (100 + 100)
= 200 + 200 = 400
(vi) 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 45 + 46 + 47 + 48
= (2 + 48) + (3 + 47) + (4 + 46) + (5 + 45)
= (50 + 50) + (50 + 50)
= 100 + 100 = 200

Q.5. Find the sum by short method :
(i) 6784 + 9999
(ii) 10578 + 99999
Ans. (i) 6784 + 9999 = (6784 – 1) + (9999 + 1)
(Adding and subtracting 1)
= 6783 + 10000 = 16783
(ii) 10578 + 99999
(Adding and subtracting 1)
= (10578 – 1) + (99999 + 1)
= 10577 + 100000 = 110577

Q.6. For any whole numbers a, b, c, is it true that (a + b) + c = a + (c + b) ? Give reasons.
Ans. Yes it is true, by the property of associative law of addition.
