Solution
Time: 2 ½ hours Total Marks: 80

Section A

1. Correct Answer: A
1–2+3–4+5=1+3+5–2–4=9–6=3

2. Correct Answer: D
932, 923, 239, 293, 329, 392.

3. Correct Answer: C
Out of the given numbers, 139 is a prime number as it has only two factors, namely, 1
and 139.

4. Correct Answer: A

5. Correct Answer: D
The HCF of 15 and 27 is 3. Hence,

6. Correct Answer: B
To add 4 on number line, move 4 steps to the right of 0.

7. Correct Answer: D
Estimate the product by rounding off 52 to its nearest tens and 188 to its nearest
hundreds.
52 can be rounded off to its nearest tens as 50 and 188 can be rounded off to its
nearest hundreds as 200.
So, the required estimation of the product is 50 × 200 = 10000.
8. Correct Answer: A

Thus, 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

9. Correct Answer: D
13 + (12 – 6 × 3) = 13 + (12 – 18) = 13 – 6 = 7

10. Correct Answer: B

NO and PQ can be extended indefinitely on both sides, so they are lines. On extending,
it can be seen that they would meet at a point. Hence, they are intersecting lines.
One and only one line passes through any two given points.

11. Correct Answer: B

267 can be estimated as 270.
132 can be estimated as 130.
Thus the required estimated sum = 270 + 130 = 400

12. Correct Answer: B

10 = 2 × 5
18 = 2 × 3 × 3
HCF of 10 and 18 is 2.
Thus, 2 is the required number.

Section B
13. Place value of 9 at the Ten Lakhs place = 9000000
Place value of 9 at the hundreds place = 900
Difference = 9000000 – 900 = 8999100

14. The number of vertices in the given shapes:

i. Sphere : 0
ii. Cylinder : 0
15. Anna is 7 feet above sea level. She jumps 3 feet down and walks another 2 feet down.
Total distance travelled downwards = 3 + 2 = 5 feet.

16. (–13) + (–19) + (+15) + (–10)

= –13 – 19 + 15 – 10
= –13 – 19 – 10 + 15
= –42 + 15
= –27

17. A 9-digit numeral in Indian system = 94,50,27,983

In International system,
945,027,983 - Nine hundred forty five million twenty seven thousand nine hundred
eighty three.

18. Two lines in the same plane which never intersect are called parallel lines.
Parallel lines maintain the same distance apart over their entire length.

19. Population of the village = 13295

Increase in population= Average growth – 1 = 399
Population in the successive year = 13295 + 399 = 13694

20. Prime factorisation of 455 = 5 × 7 × 13

Therefore, the dimensions of the cuboid are
5 cm, 7 cm, 13 cm.
21. L.C.M. of 24, 45 and 54 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 1080

23. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive integer.
∴ 7 – (–3) = 7 + 3 = 10

24. To find the H.C.F of 77, 105 and 231.

77 = 7 × 11
105 = 3 × 5 × 7
231 = 3 × 7 × 11
Hence, H.C.F of 77, 105 and 231 is = 7
 Section C

25. To solve using number line start with –8, move 12 steps right and then back 2 steps as
shown below:

So, we reach at 2, therefore (–8 + 12 – 2) = 2

26. AC, AD, BD, BE and CE are diagonals.

27. Temperature in the morning = –14oF

Drop in temperature is written as –7oF
Temperature at present = –14oF + (–7oF) = –14oF – 7oF = –21oF

28. Rs. 13550 estimated to nearest thousands = Rs. 14000

Rs. 26788 estimated to nearest thousands = Rs. 27000
Total estimated money (to be received) = Rs. (14000 + 27000) = Rs. 41000
He has to pay Rs. 37000.
And 41000 > 37000
Therefore, he will be able to pay to his supplier with the money received.

29. First we find the LCM of 48, 60, 72.

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 720

Hence, they will meet after = 2 rounds.

30. C stands for 100
D stands for 500
V stands for 5
I stands for 1
X stands for 10
M stands for 1000
In ascending order, the numbers can be arranged as
1 < 5 < 10 < 100 < 500 < 1000
Thus, the given roman numerals can be arranged in ascending order as
I<V<X<C<D<M

31. We may observe that in 1 complete clockwise revolution, hand of a clock will rotate
by 360º.
1
(a) When hand of clock starts at 12 and makes of a revolution clockwise, it will
2
rotate by 180º and hence it will stop at 6.

1
(b) When hand of clock starts at 5 and makes of a revolution clockwise, it will
4
rotate by 90º and hence it will stop at 8.

3
(c) When hand of clock starts at 5 and makes of a revolution clockwise, it will
4
rotate by 270º and hence it will stop at 2.
32. (a) ABC, ACD, ADB
(b) ABC, ADB, ADC, ACB, BAD, CAD, BAC
(c) ABD and ABC

33. Quantity of petrol filled on Monday = 40 l

Quantity of petrol filled on Tuesday = 50 l
Total quantity filled = (40 + 50) l
Cost of petrol (per l) = Rs. 44
Total money spent = 44 × (40 + 50) = 44 × 90 = Rs. 3960

Section D

34. The table after matching the columns will appear as given below:

Section A Section B

1 The smallest two digit whole number B 10

2 The smallest three digit whole number D 100

3 (–1111) × (9) A –9999

4 5 + (–15) C – 10

35. Value of Books sold in 1st week = Rs. 2,85,891

Value of books sold in 2nd week = Rs. 4,00,768
Total sale = Sale in 1st week + Sale in 2nd week = 2,85,891 + 4,00,768
285891
400768
686659

The sale for the two weeks together was 6,86,659

Since 4,00,768 > 2,85,891 sale in 2nd week was greater than 1st week.
400768
 285891
114877

 Sale in 2nd week was larger than sales in 1st week by Rs 1,14,877
36. (a) Point F is –8
(b) Negative integer (–6)
(c) E has the least value as it represents –10

(d) D>C>B>A>O>H>G>F>E

37. By revolving one complete round in either clockwise or anticlockwise direction, we

1
will revolve by 360º and two adjacent directions are at 90º or of a complete
4
revolution away from each other.
1
(a) If we start facing East and make 1 of a revolution clockwise we will face the West
2
direction.

(b) If we start facing South and make a full revolution we will again face the South
direction.

In case of revolving by 1 complete round, in which direction we are revolving doesn’t

matter. In both cases clockwise or anticlockwise we will be back at our initial position.
