Q3: Using the digits 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, form the greatest and the smallest seven-digit numbers. 

Ans: Greatest number:

To form the greatest number, we arrange the digits in descending order:

9, 8, 6, 5, 3, 1, 0
So, the greatest seven-digit number is:
9,865,310

Smallest number:

To form the smallest number, we arrange the digits in ascending order, but a number cannot start with 0. So, we start with the smallest non-zero digit, which is 1, and then arrange the remaining digits in ascending order:

1, 0, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9
So, the smallest seven-digit number is:
10,35,689

Q4: Express 7,56,83,291 in the international system and write it in words. 

Ans: 75,683,291; seventy-five million six hundred eighty-three thousand two hundred ninety-one

Q7: Arrange in descending order:

• 12,34,56,789

• 12,345,678

• 1,23,45,678

• 1,234,567

Ans: To arrange the numbers in descending order, we compare them based on the number of digits and place value.

Let's write the numbers in standard international format for better comparison:

1. 12,34,56,789 = 123,456,789

2. 12,345,678 = 12,345,678

3. 1,23,45,678 = 12,345,678

4. 1,234,567 = 1,234,567

Now, arrange them from greatest to smallest:

123,456,789 > 12,345,678 = 12,345,678 > 1,234,567

So, in the original Indian number format:

Final Answer (Descending Order):
12,34,56,789 > 12,345,678 = 1,23,45,678 > 1,234,567

Q8: Which is greater, 0.345 million or 34.5 lakh, and by how much? 

Ans: 34.5 lakh is greater by 3,105,000
Explanation: 0.345 million = 345,000. 
34.5 lakh = 3,450,000. 
Subtracting: 3,450,000 - 345,000 = 3,105,000. 
So 34.5 lakh exceeds 0.345 million by 3,105,000. 

Q9: True or False: 1 billion is equal to 100 crore in the Indian system.

Q10: Round off 6,24,894 to the nearest thousand.

Ans: 6,25,000

Other digits become zeros: 6,25,000. .

Q11: Round off 8,23,49,161 to the nearest ten lakh. 

Ans: Step 1: Identify the ten lakh place.
In 8,23,49,161, the ten lakh digit is 2 (in 23 lakh).

Step 2: Look at the digit in the lakh place, which is 3.

• Since 3 < 5, we do not increase the ten lakh digit.

• Replace all digits after the ten lakh place with zeros.

So, 8,23,49,161 rounded to the nearest ten lakh is:

8,20,00,000

Q12: Round off 7,68,429 to the nearest ten thousand. 

Ans: 7,70,000
