Answers & Worked Solutions

Mark your own paper, then read the solution for every question you got wrong. For the multiple-choice questions, the note in pink shows the answer most students pick by mistake, and why.

Section A — Number System (15 marks)
1. Multiple Choice Questions
Q1. B. 1

Natural numbers are the counting numbers 1, 2, 3, ... — they start from 1, not 0.

Tempting wrong answer: A. 0 — 0 is the smallest whole number, but whole numbers and natural numbers are not the same set.

Q2. C. 600

In 57,682 the digits are 5 (ten-thousands), 7 (thousands), 6 (hundreds), 8 (tens), 2 (ones). 6 is in the hundreds place: 600.

Q3. C. 17

17 has no factors other than 1 and itself. 15=3×5, 21=3×7, 25=5×5.

Q4. C. 6

18=2×3², 24=2³×3. HCF = 2×3 = 6.

Q5. C. 60

12=2²×3, 15=3×5. LCM = 2²×3×5 = 60.

Q6. B. 2/5

2/5 is a ratio of two integers, so it's rational. √2, π, and √5 are all irrational.

Q7. C. 0.75

3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.

Q8. C. 30

20% of 150 = (20 ÷ 100) × 150 = 30.

Q9. C. 90°

A right angle measures exactly 90°.

Q10. B. Dice

A dice is shaped like a cube. A ball is a sphere; a pencil and a coin are cylinder-like shapes.

2. Fill in the Blanks
Q1. 99,999

1,00,000 − 1 = 99,999.

Q2. 8,00,000

In 8,34,567 the digit 8 is in the lakh place.

Q3. Proper

A fraction with numerator smaller than denominator is a proper fraction.

Q4. 250

2.5 × 100 = 250.

Q5. 0

A circle is a curved shape with no corners.

Section B — Whole Numbers (28 marks)
3. True or False
Q1. False

Natural numbers start from 1. Zero is a whole number, not a natural number.

Q2. False

2 is a prime number and it is even — so not all primes are odd.

Q3. True

Any two consecutive numbers (like 7 and 8) share no common factor other than 1, so their HCF is always 1.

Q4. True

0.999… (9 repeating forever) is mathematically exactly equal to 1, not just close to it.

Q5. True

All four sides of a square are equal in length.

4. Match the Following
1 → c) 24

LCM(6,8): 6=2×3, 8=2³. LCM=2³×3=24.

2 → b) 12

HCF(24,36): 24=2³×3, 36=2²×3². HCF=2²×3=12.

3 → d) 150

75% of 200 = 150.

4 → e) 5/2

2 1/2 = (2×2+1)/2 = 5/2.

5 → a) 0.6

3/5 = 0.6.

5. Very Short Answer Type Questions
Q1. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11

The first five prime numbers in order.

Q2. 70,000

In 4,75,321 the digit 7 is in the ten-thousands place.

Q3. 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

48 = 16 × 3 = 2⁴ × 3.

Q4. 6/9

2/3 × 3/3 = 6/9.

Q5. 19/4

4.75 = 475/100. Dividing both by 25: 19/4 (or 4 3/4 as a mixed number).

6. Short Answer Type Questions (4 questions)
Q1. 5,80,245

3,45,678 + 2,34,567 = 5,80,245.

Q2. 4,58,631

7,85,420 − 3,26,789 = 4,58,631.

Q3. HCF = 6, LCM = 36

Q3. ₹500
  1. If she spent 2/5, she saved the remaining 3/5 of her money.

4 2/5 = 4 + 0.4 = 4.4.

Q5. 4/10, 6/15, 8/20 (any three equivalent fractions)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 2/5 by the same number: ×2 gives 4/10, ×3 gives 6/15, ×4 gives 8/20.
