Vedic Maths: Subtraction - Free MCQ Test with solutions for Class 6 Improve

Let’s apply the Vedic Maths rule “All from 9 and the Last from 10” and “One less than the one before” to solve:

500 − 76

Step 1: One less than the one before

Since we are subtracting a 2-digit number from 500 (a 3-digit number starting with 5), reduce the 5 → 4

So the first digit of the answer will be: 4

Step 2: All from 9 and the last from 10

Write 076 (to make digits equal)

Now subtract each from 9 and the last from 10:

So we get 24

Final Answer

Combine Step 1 and Step 2:

4 (from step 1) and 24 (from step 2) = 424

Split each number into two parts of two digits: 5842 → 58|42 and 2639 → 26|39.

Subtract the left parts: 58 - 26 = 32.

Subtract the right parts: 42 - 39 = 3. The right part has two digits, so write this as 03.

Combine the left and right results: 32 and 03 → 3203.

Therefore, 5842 - 2639 = 3203. 

Correct Option: A

• Write the number to be subtracted with a leading zero so both numbers have four digits: 0578.
• Apply the sutra "All from 9 and the Last from 10". For each of the first three digits take the complement to 9: 0 → 9, 5 → 4, 7 → 2.
• For the last digit take the complement to 10: 8 → 2.
• Combine these complements to get 9422. Therefore the result is 9422, so Option A is correct.
