Ans: (b)
The upper half of the circle has 2-digit numbers, all starting with 2. 
They are in normal counting sequence – 24, 25, 26, 27. 
Now, let's observe the numbers in lower half of the circle. 
All are 3-digit numbers, starting with 3. 
Let's find out the difference between these numbers. 
325 – 318 = 7 
332 – 325 = 7 
That means there would be same rule between 332 and ? 
? – 332 = 7 
Or, ? = 7 + 332 
Or, ? = 339 
So, the right answer is Option B.

Q12: Fill in the blank and select the CORRECT option. 5281 + ? = Largest 5-digit number
(a) 4719
(b) 94718
(c) 92168
(d) 4981

Maths Olympiad Previous Year Paper - 2 | Mathematics Olympiad Class 4  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • To find the missing number, we first need to identify the largest 5-digit number, which is 99999.
  • Next, we subtract 5281 from 99999: 99999 - 5281 = 94718.
  • This means that the number we need to add to 5281 to reach the largest 5-digit number is 94718.
  • Thus, the correct option is (b) 94718.

Q13: The number of visitors at a Diwali mela on the first two days were 11523 and 9235. On the third day, there were 1580 visitors more than on the first day. How many total people visited the mela on all the three days?
(a) 25611
(b) 31915
(c) 33861
(d) 37141

Maths Olympiad Previous Year Paper - 2 | Mathematics Olympiad Class 4  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • First, calculate the total visitors for the first two days: 11523 + 9235 = 20758.
  • Next, find the number of visitors on the third day: 11523 + 1580 = 13103.
  • Now, add the visitors from all three days: 20758 + 13103 = 33861.
  • Thus, the total number of visitors at the mela over the three days is 33861.

(c) 3/4
(d) 3/5

Maths Olympiad Previous Year Paper - 2 | Mathematics Olympiad Class 4  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • First, calculate the total notebooks sold: 40 (Monday) + 80 (Tuesday) = 120 notebooks.
  • Next, find the fraction of notebooks sold: 120 sold out of 480 total.
  • This fraction is 120/480, which simplifies to 1/4.
