 Passage I Chewing gum was discovered a thousand years ago by the Mayans in the Mexican jungles. They found a liquid leaking from a sapodilla tree. As it oozed out, it thickened into something that they called chicle which was chewable and tasty. Today, workers called chicleros still collect chicle. The chicle is boiled to remove the water. It is then made into slabs about 30 pounds each or 14 kilograms each. These slabs are sent to gum factories. There it is mixed with several ingredients to sweeten, soften, flavour and colour the gum.

 Passage 4 Since, the most ancient times, India has been not only periodically invaded by greedy hordes but also visited by tradesman and travellers, scholars and sight-seers. Some of them have written books. The books of these writers become all the more important because there were not too many of them and they have served as rich sources for the historian. It is especially in this context that observations provided by the great Chinese writer Hiuen Tsang become very relevant. Already in the 7th century, Buddhism was a powerful cultural force among the educated classes of China. It was common for Chinese pilgrims to come to India, the native land of the Buddha, to pay their respects to the founder of their religion. Perhaps the most famous of them all was this gentle observer who had studied and travelled extensively in China before entering the Indian sub-continent. Being both scholar and sophisticated, he was not given to easy praise. Within India itself he traversed deserts and climbed mountains, stayed in villages and lived in capitals, practised in monasteries and studied in universities and spent time in some royal courts as well.

 Hints and Solutions 1. All figures in serial numbers (1), (3) and (4) have two
 
 15. Shift answer figure (1) on the missing part of
 
 parallel lines drawn horizontally but in figure (2) the parallel lines are drawn vertically, therefore figure (2) is different from other remaining figures. In the given figures all figures are quadrilaterals but figure (3) is a triangle. Therefore, figure (3) is different from other figures. Considering the positions of two black small circles figure (4) is different from other figures. All figures, have straight lines but figure (4) has a curved line which is different than the other figure. A small circle has been drawn inside the figures in serial number (1), (2) and (4). But in figure (3) a small triangle has been drawn inside the figure (3). Answer figure (3) resembles completely with the given problem figure. In the problem figure the square has been divided into four equal parts by joining the mid points of the opposite sides. A ‘W’ type figure has been drawn at the centre of the square. Answer figure (2) resembles with the problem figure. In problem figure signs of multiplication and addition are drawn under curved loop. Answer figure (4) resembles with the problem figure. In the problem figure two diagonals of a square have been drawn intersecting each other. Mid point of the portion of the diagonals lying between the point of intersection and the upper are joined with two lines with the opposite vertices. The pattern in answer figure (1) resembles with the problem figure. In the problem figure a blackened circle is followed by an empty circle. An arrow has been drawn horizontally pointing towards empty circle. The same figure pattern has been repeated in answer figure (2). In the given pattern of the problem figure the missing part of this figure can be filled by answer figure (4) without changing the direction. Shift answer figure (2) and put it on the missing part of the problem figure, it will complete the problem figure. In the given positions of blackened circle and empty circle. In answer figure (3) will complete the given problem figure. In the given problem figure answer figure (3) will complete the missing part of the problem figure.
 
 the problem figure, if will complete the problem figure. In problem figures one small lines are increasing in each problem figure. Therefore, answer figure (4) will occupy in the blank space. Answer figure (1) will occupy the blank space. In problem figures circles are moving in clockwise direction. Therefore, answer figure (2) will occupy the blank space. In problem figures one small line and a small circle is increasing by one in subsequent figures. Therefore, answer figure (1) will occupy the blank space. In problem figures the number of black shaded circles are increasing by (1) starting from zero. Therefore, answer figure (1) will occupy the blank space. The square of the problem figure can be completed by turning the answer figure (2). Answer figure (4) will be the correct figure which complete the square of the problem figure. For completing the square of the problem figure, answer figure (2) should be turned and placed on the square. For completing the problem figures, turn answer figure (2) and put it on the problem figure, we get the complete square of the problem figure. Answer figure (3) will complete the square of the problem figure by shifting and turning. As, men wear kurta, in the same way women wear saree. As in problem figure (1) to (2), innermost design getting shade, in the same way changes occur in problem figure (3) to produce answer figure (3). As in problem figure (1) to (2), whole figure rotate in either direction, in the same way changes occurs in problem figure (3) to produce answer figure (1). As in problem figure (1) to (2), there is an increase of one design, in the same way changes occur in problem figure (3) to produce the answer figure (3). As in problem figure (1) to (2), the two smaller lines adjoining main figure is disappeared, in the same way changes occur in problem figure (3), to produce the answer figure (4).

 CHAPTER
 
 01 ODD-MAN OUT Odd man out is the process of putting things or objects into a group and then finding the different object or thing that does not belong to the group. In this chapter, we deal with questions which have a set of four figures, out of which except one, are alike or have some common features/characteristics. You have to select that exclusively different figure from the given set. In this chapter the changes in figure are based on the following types Based on formation Based on number of side Based on relation of two elements Based on different elements Based on method of writing Based on real images l

 Hints and Solutions 1. Except figure (2), in all other figures the innermost geometrical figure is made up of similar number straight lines as there are circles. Hence, figure (2) is different. 2. Except figure (3), all other figures consist of three letters R, U and N. But in figure (3), letter ‘K’ is used in place of ‘R’. Hence, figure (3) is different. 3. Except figure (4), all other figures have only two intersecting circles. But in figure (4) all the three circles are intersecting each other. Hence, figure (4) is different. 4. Except figure (2), all other figures are same when rotated. 5. Except figure (2), in all other figures, only one part of the figure is shaded while in figure (2) two parts are shaded. 6. Except figure (1), in all other figures, two similar figures are intersecting each other. 7. Except figure (4), in all other figures the arrow is pointing towards the shaded portion of rectangle. But in figure (4) it is pointing in opposite direction. 8. Except figure (2), in all other figures the two lines are at the corner of the oval while in figure (2) both the lines are as the centre of the oval. 9. Except figure (2), all other figures have one less number of arrows as the number of lines in shape. 10. Considering the position of two black small circles figure (3) is different from other figures. 11. All figures in serial numbers (1), (3) and (4) have two parallel lines drawn horizontally but in figure (2) the parallel lines are drawn vertically, therefore figure (2) is different from other remaining figures.
 
 12. Except figure (4), all other figures are made up of straight lines but figure (4) is made up of curved line. 13. Except figure (2), all other figures are made up of curved lines but in figure (2) there are two straight lines. 14.

Except figure (4), all other figures have curved line outside the circle in same manner. 17. Except figure (4), all other figures have curved line which cuts the circle in same manner. 18. Except figure (4), all other figures are same when rotated. 19. Except figure (3), all figures contain two small figures namely circle (O) and cross (×). 20. Except figure (3), all other figure are rotating in anticlockwise direction, while figure (3) is rotating in clockwise direction. 21. Except figure (1), in all others the shaded parts are opposite to each other. 22. Except figure (4), all others are worn on upper part of the body. 23. Except (2), all other figures have single design. 24. Except (1), all others have four diameters. 25. Except figure (1), in all others, the number of lines in circles is odd. 26. Except figure (4) all other figures have single mathematical design. 27. Except figure (2), all others made up of straight lines. 28. Except figure (1), all other figures are same when rotated.

Except figure (2), in all other figures the curved line is near to the smaller circle but in figure (2), it is near to the larger circle. 33. Except figure (2), in all other figures there are five number of lines inside the main figure. But in figure (2), it is four. 34. Except figure (3), in all other figures the circle is ahead of triangle when we move in clockwise direction. 35. Except figure (4), all other figures are same when rotated. 36. Except figure (3), in all other figures there are two lines which divides the main figure in four parts. 37. Except figure (2), all other figures have two similar shapes made up of straight lines. While figure (2) is made up of curved line.
 
 38. Except figure (1), all other figures are made up of straight lines while figure (1) is made up of curved line. 39. Except figure (1), all other figures have same inner and outer designs, but in opposite directions. 40. Except figure (4), all other figures are same when rotated. 41. Except figure (2), all other figures have a circular side. 42. Except figure (4), all other figures have same number of dots inside the figure as there are number of lines in the figure. 43. Except figure (3), all other figures have same inner and outer designs. 44. Except figure (2), in all other figures both the arrows are pointing to the centre of the circle. 45. Except figure (2), in all other figures the size of all the three shapes are different. But in figure (2) all the three circles are of same size. 46. In the given figures, all figures are quadrilaterals but figure (3) is a triangle. Therefore, figure (3) is different from other figures.

 CHAPTER
 
 03 PATTERN COMPLETION Pattern completion is a process to find out the missing part of an incomplete figure it. In this chapter we deal with questions in which a part, generally 1/4th part of the figure is missing. The student is required to find out the answer figure that completes the given pattern. While solving the problems the student should follow some points Example 4.

 Sol. (2) According to formula 2, upper left figure rotates 180° clockwise or anti-clockwise to obtain upper right figure in the same way, lower left part figure rotates 180º clockwise or anti-clockwise to obtain lower right figure. So, answer figure 2 will come in place of the question mark. Example 5.

 Figure Series Completion
 
 CHAPTER
 
 04 FIGURE SERIES COMPLETION In this chapter a series of figures is given as question figures and the candidates are asked to select one of the figure from the set of answer figures which will continue the given sequence. You are expected to have a clear vision of different movements and additions/deletions of designs and their rotation. This type of problem on series consists of three figures forming the set of problem figures followed by four other figures forming the set of answer figures. The students are required to select one of the figure from the set of answer figures which will continue the sequence. While solving the questions, the students should following points.
 
 Rotational Direction
 
 Directional Movement of Designs
 
 The rotational direction basically states the clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.
 
 This provides the knowledge of angular movement of designs in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.

 Hints and Solutions 1. The elements are moving from one corner to other in clockwise direction in each step. Hence, answer figure (2) will complete the given series. 2. One half-leaf is added in each step in clockwise direction. Hence, answer figure (1) will complete the given series. 3. The symbols are moving from one side of triangle to other in clockwise direction in each step and the line inside the triangle is same in each alternative figure. Hence, answer figure (3) will complete the series. 4. The symbols are changing their position from one corner to other in anti-clockwise direction in each step. Hence, answer figure (4) will complete the given series. 5. First and third figures are same. So, the fourth figure will be same as second figure. 6. In each successive figure, two lines i.e. ‘v’ are increasing. 7. In each successive figure, the left most letter is shifted to the right most corner. 8. In each successive figure, a symbol ‘¤’ is increasing. 9. In each successive figure, are vertical line is added to the left most corner and triangle becomes smaller. 10. One small lines is increasing in each successive figure. Therefore, answer figure (4) will the blank space. 11. One small line and a small circle is increasing in subsequent figures. Therefore, answer figure (1) will occupy the blank space.
 
 12. In each successive figure, circles are moving one block in clockwise direction. Therefore, answer figure (2) will occupy the blank space. 13. In each successive figure one line and one small circle is increasing in the design. 14. In each successive figure shaded circle moves half arm in clockwise direction. 15. Each successive figure rotates 90° in clockwise direction to obtain the next figure. 16. In each successive figure designs are moving from one corner to other in clockwise direction. 17. In each successive figure one small circle appears outside the curved line. 18. In each successive figure one small vertical line increases outside the rectangle. 19. In each step, the question figure rotates through 90° clockwise. 20. In each successive figure, a slant line inside the small circle is increasing. 21. In each successive figure, the design rotates 90° in anti-clockwise direction. 22. In each successive figure one upper and lower small rectangle is added. 23. In each step, whole design rotates 90° in clockwise direction. 24. In each step, boy is one step ahead of his previous step. 1 25. Square is moving 1arm and circle is moving 2 arm in anti-clockwise direction. 26. One line is adding to geometrical design in each step. 27. In each step figure rotates 90°clockwise. So, answer figure (3) is the correct answer.

 Hints and Solutions 1. In each successive figure, one dot and one line is
 
 11. In question figures one small line and a small
 
 increasing. From first to second figure, the pin at the bottom changes its direction. So, the arrow in third figure will change their position in fourth figure. The design is rotating 90° in anti-clockwise direction. Figure 1 is same as figure 3. Thus, the answer figure will be same as the figure 2. The design is moving 90° in clockwise direction. In question figures a pattern is being formed in which no line, one line and two lines are drawn from the vertex (vertices) of the square joining the circle. Therefore, answer figure (2) will occupy the blank space. The circle is moving in clockwise direction and circle is increasing by one in each successive figures. An arrow on the circle is moving 90° in clockwise direction, while the left side arrow is static on its place. One line is adding in the successive design and forming a new figure. The line inside of the rectangle is moving 45° in clockwise direction.
 
 unshaded and shaded circle is increasing alternately. Therefore, answer figure (1) will occupy the blank space. The question figure 1 is same as the question figure 3. Thus, the answer figure will be same as the question figure 2. The circle is increasing by one and moving in anti-clockwise direction in successive figure. The question figure 3 is the reverse of the question figure 1. Thus, the answer figure will be the reverse of the question figure 2. The question figure 1 is same as the question figure 3. Thus, the answer figure will be same as the question figure 2. In the question figures 1 and 3, the arrow is changing its place. So, the arrow is question figure 2 will change its Position in answer figure. Question figures 1, 2 and 3 are being turned in clockwise direction.

 CHAPTER
 
 05 ANALOGY Analogy refers to ‘correspondence’ or similarity. It is also known as relationship test. In this type, the question figure consists of two sets. Each set has two frames separated by the sign of colon (:). The second set is separated by the sign of (::) from first set. The figures in the first set bear a certain relationship with each other. You have to choose, from the set of answer figures one figure bearing the same relationship to the third figure as there is in the first part of two figures. Students, while solving these questions must kept following points in mind. Look carefully the shape of designs. Look carefully the side of designs. Analyse the rotation of designs. Look carefully the addition/deletion of designs. Look the mirror image of designs. Look the replacement and rearrangement of designs. In this chapter, the changes between figures are based on following Based on size Based on position change Based on number of side Based on rotation l

 line. The second figure is formed by rotating. The first figure by 180°. The first question figure has four sides and the second question figure has three sides with same figure inside. Similarly, the question figure should have four sides in place of five sides with same figure inside. From first figure to second, inner shape becomes outer and vice-versa. From first figure to second, the inner design disappears. From first figure to second, whole design rotates through 90° clockwise. From figure (1) to (3) inner design remains same and the circle changes to rectangle. The zig-zag portion of first figure becomes shaded and then the figure is turned 90° clockwise. The design gets reversed and the circles appear at the edge of design.
 
 10. The question figure 3 is same as the question figure 1. Thus, the answer figure will be same as the question figure 2. 11. Whole figure rotates through 180° and the outer

The design is inverted on its axis. In the figures, the number of sides of the design are increasing by one and the number of internal lines are decreasing by one. The design is rotating through 180°. Second figure is the mirror image of first figure. The shaded part comes out and moves 90° clockwise. Second figure is the mirror image of first figure. Third figure is obtained by rotating the first figure through 180°. Similarly, fourth figure will be obtained by rotating the second figure through 180°. The design is moving 90° in clockwise direction and the small line attached to it is removed. The number of sides of the inner design are increasing by one and gets shaded. Two half designs are joining and forming a full design. In the designs, one arm or side is removed. The question figure 3 is inverted design of the question figure 1. Thus, the answer figure will be the inverted design of the question figure 2. The side of the design is decreasing by one and comes inside of the circle. In the designs, one dot is moving 90° anti-clockwise.
 
 at left side and the left side design get reversed and comes at right side. Second figure is the mirror image of the first figure. The design is moving 90° in clockwise direction. The design is moving 45° clockwise and the black dot shifts at the right corner. From first figure to second, the design becomes double. A square is forming on the base of the design. The inner design comes outside and the outer design goes inside. Second figure is the inverted image of first. In the inner design, the horizontal line is decreasing by one and the verticle line remains same. The design is rotating 180°. The design is formed by joining the ends of the line. The design is rotating 90° anti-clockwise. The design is dividing into three parts and two parts are equal. The designs are moving 90° in clockwise direction and circle is shifted outside. The inner design comes outside and the outer design goes inside. One same design is intersecting on its left side. Outer design comes inside and by increasing one side the inner design becomes outer design. The design is formed by joining the outer lines.

 CHAPTER
 
 07 MIRROR IMAGE The reflection of an object into the mirror is called mirror image or we can say that the figure obtained by putting a mirror in front of the real figure is called mirror image. The questions based on mirror image are divided in two parts, i.e. first part which is known as question figure and in second part there is four answer figures. The student is required to find out the correct mirror image of the given problem figure. While solving the problems, the students should follow some points  If the position of mirror is not clear in the question, then use the mirror at the right side of an object.  In the mirror image of an object lower and upper part remain constant while left and right get interchanged.  In mirror image left part of an object becomes right part and right part becomes left part.

 CHAPTER
 
 09 SPACE VISUALISATION Space visualisation or formation of figures refers to the use of pieces of different designs to construct a desired figure. It requires a high spacial visualisation skill, as different fragmented parts of a figure are combined to form the desired figure. In this chapter, two sets of figures are provided namely question figure and answer figures. A candidate is asked to arrange the different components of the question figure. So as to form one of the answer figure. Students, while solving these questions must kept following points in mind l l
 
 First of all, mark all the designs with numbers and any unique code. Corelate all the designs with the help of marked numbers and codes.

 side of 1 and for greatest number of n digit, we write the number 9 n times. e.g., Least 4 digit number = 1000 Greatest 4 digit number = 9999
 
 Example 1. Write the following in words
 
 Successor and Predecessor of a Number
 
 (i) 8275
 
 (ii) 76901
 
 (iii) 1234578
 
 Sol. (i) 8275 = Eight thousand two hundred
 
 seventy five. (ii) 76901 = Seventy six thousand nine hundred one. (iii) 1234578 = Twelve lakh thirty four thousand five hundred seventy eight.
 
 Successor is the number just after the given number and predecessor is the number just before the given number. To get successor or predecessor of a number we add or subtract 1 from it. e.g., Successor of 856979 is 856980 and predecessor is 856978.
 
 Example 2. Write the following in figures
 
 Roman Numbers
 
 (i) Seventy thousand three hundred sixty four. (ii) One lakh twenty five thousand four hundred twenty. (iii) Five crore fifty lakh five thousand five hundred five. Sol. (1) 70364 (2) 125420 (3) 55005505
 
 The numbers which we use are called ‘Arabric Numbers’ but sometimes we use the another system for writing numbers called roman system. Mostly, roman numbers are used to denote the class standard and position (Rank) of a candidate, in faces of clocks, in page numbering etc. The letters used in roman numbers are I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1000
 
 Face Value The face value of a digit in a numeral is equal to the digit number itself, irrespective of the place occupied. e.g., In 364, face value of ‘6’ is 6.
 
 Place Value The place value of a digit in a numeral depends on the place it occupies. Place value of a digit = Face value of the digit × Value of the place occupied e.g., In 3548 the place value of 5 is 5 × 100 = 500 Example 3. Find the difference between face value and
 
 place value of 8 in 35829. (1) 834 (2) 729 (3) 792 (4) None of the above Sol. (3) In 35829 Face value = 8 and place value = 8 × 100 = 800 ∴ Difference = 800 − 8 = 792
 
 Least and Greatest Numbers We know that, 1 is the least one digit number and 9 is the greatest one digit number. For finding the least number of n digit, we write ( n − 1) zeros in the right

 Types of Numbers There are following types of number
 
 Natural Numbers The counting numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, … are called as natural numbers. The set of natural numbers is denoted by N .
 
 05
 
 Number and Numeric System N = {1, 2 , 3 , 4 ,… }
 
 Rational Numbers
 
 (i) 1 is the smallest natural number. (ii) 0 is not a natural number.
 
 p ( q ≠ 0), q where p and q are integers, are called rational numbers. 5 1 3 e.g., , , . 4 7 8
 
 Numbers which can be written in the form
 
 Whole Numbers All natural numbers together with 0 (zero) are called whole numbers. The set of whole numbers is denoted by W. W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … } Here, 0 is the smallest whole number.
 
 Integer Numbers All natural numbers together with 0 and negative numbers are called integer numbers. The set of integer numbers is denoted by I. I = {....., − 5, − 4, − 3, − 2, − 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,… } (i) I + = 1, 2, 3, 4, ... are positive integers. (ii) I − = − 1, − 2, − 3, − 4, ... are negative integers. (iii) 0 (zero) is neither positive integer nor negative integer.
 
 Even Numbers The natural numbers which are divisible by 2 are called as even numbers. e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, … Here, 2 is the smallest even number.
 
 Odd Numbers The natural numbers which are not divisible by 2 are called as odd numbers. e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, … Here, 1 is the smallest odd number.
 
 Irrational Numbers Numbers which cannot be written in the form p ( q ≠ 0), where p and q are integers, are called q irrational numbers. e.g., 2 , 5.
 
 Prime Numbers The natural numbers greater than 1 which are not divisible by any number except 1 and itself are called prime numbers. e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, … (i) 2 is the smallest prime number and again it is the only even prime number. (ii) The prime numbers upto 100 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89 and 97. (iii) The elements in the set of natural numbers, prime numbers and whole numbers are infinite.
 
 Composite Numbers Numbers other than 1 which are not prime are called composite numbers. As 4, 6, 8, 9 are all composite numbers. (i) 4 is the smallest composite number. (ii) 1 is neither prime nor composite.

 02 FOUR FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS ON WHOLE NUMBERS Whole Numbers
 
 Distributive Law 2 × ( 4 + 5) = 2 × 4 + 2 × 5 (11 + 7) × 5 = 11 × 5 + 7 × 5
 
 All natural numbers together with 0 (zero) are called whole numbers. Addition as well as multiplication of two whole numbers must be a whole number but same is not true while having the operation like subtraction and division on whole number.
 
 Identity Elements
 
 Fundamental Operations
 
 Properties of Zero
 
 Closure Law For addition 1+ 2 = 3 4+ 5 = 9
 
 
 
 For multiplication 2×3= 6 4 × 5 = 20 
 
 Commutative Law For addition 2 + 3 = 3+ 2 11 + 7 = 7 + 11
 
 Zero is the identity element for addition and 1 is the identity element for multiplication.

 Associative Law For addition 1 + ( 2 + 3) = (1 + 2) + 3 5 + ( 9 + 11) = ( 5 + 9) + 11 For multiplation 1 × ( 2 × 3) = (1 × 2) × 3 5 × ( 9 × 11) = ( 5 × 9) × 11
 
 
 
 
 
 When zero is added or subtracted from any number, the result is the number itself. e.g., 4 + 0 = 4 ,18 + 0 = 18 6 − 0 = 6, 24 − 0 = 24 Product of any whole number and zero is zero. e.g., 4 × 0 = 0 If we divide zero by any whole number, the result is zero. e.g., 0 ÷ 10 = 0, 0 ÷ 4 = 0 If power of any number is zero, then the value of that number will be 1. e.g., 1 0 = 1 , 40 = 1
 
 Properties of One The product of any whole number and 1 is the whole number itself. e.g., 18 × 1 = 18, 5 × 1 = 5

 Four Fundamental Operations on Whole Numbers
 
 Tests of Divisibility Test of divisibility may be derived from the properties of multiples of specific divisors.
 
 Divisibility by 2 Any number, having last digit is either 2, 4, 6, 8 or zero is divisible by 2. e.g., 12, 86, 130, 242 and 306 are divisible by 2.
 
 Divisibility by 3 If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, the number is also divisible by 3. e.g., 426 4 + 2 + 6 = 12 which is divisible by 3. Hence, 426 is divisible by 3.
 
 e.g., 39681 : 3 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 1 = 27 is divisible by 9, hence the number is also divisible by 9.
 
 Divisibility by 10 Any number which ends with zero is divisible by 10. e.g., The numbers 150, 540, 1860, 2210 etc. are divisible by 10.
 
 Divisibility by 11 If the sums of digits at odd and even places are equal by a number divisible by 11, then the number is also divisible by 11. e.g., 3245682 : Odd place value = 3 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15 and even place value = 2 + 5 + 8 = 15 As, odd place value = even place value, the number is divisible by 11.
 
 Divisibility by 4 If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, the number is divisible by 4. The number having two or more zeros at the end is also divisible by 4. e.g., 324, 824, 5632, 3500, 4320, are divisible by 4.
 
 Important Facts ¾

 Divisibility by 5 If a number ends in 5 or 0, the number is divisible by 5. e.g., 1345 As its last digit is 5, it is divisible by 5.
 
 Divisibility by 6 A number is divisible by 6, when it is divisible by 2 as well as 3. This rule can be obtained from the fact that 2 and 3 are the two factors or submultiples of 6. (i) The number should end with an even digit or 0. (ii) The sum of its digits should be divisible by 3. e.g., 4554 Here, as the number is even, so it is divisibly by 2. Also, the sum of digits = 4 + 5 + 5 + 4 = 18, which is divisible by 3. So, the number 4554 is divisible by 6.
 
 ¾
 
 If a number is made by writing a digit 6 times, then the number is divisible by 7, 11 and 13. e.g., 888888 is divisible by 7, 11 and 13. If a number is made by writing a 2 digit number 3 times, then the number is divisible by 7 and 13. e.g., 939393 is divisible by both 7 and 13. If a number is made by repeating a 3 digit number 2 times, then the number is divisible by 7, 11 and 13. e.g., 973973 is divisible by 7, 11 and 13.
 
 Example 1. 85536 is divisible by which number,
 
 without actual division? (1) 5 (2) 3 (3) 7 (4) 13 Sol. (2) Sum of the digits = 8 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 6 = 27 As 27 is divisible by 3, so the given number 85536 is divisible by 3.
 
 Other Important Formulae ¾ ¾
 
 Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder Dividend − Remainder Divisor = Quotient

 Example 2. On dividing 18270 by a certain number, the
 
 If the last three digits of a number is divisible by 8, the number is also divisible by 8. Also, if the last three digits of a number are zeros, the number is divisible by 8. e.g., 3648 Since, 648 is divisible by 8, 3648 is divisible by 8.
 
 quotient is 186 and the remainder is 42. Find the divisor.
 
 Divisibility by 9 If the sum of all the digits, of a number is divisible by 9, the number is also divisible by 9.
 
 (1) 48 (3) 98
 
 (2) 79 (4) 108 Dividend − Remainder Sol. (3) Divisor = Quotient 18270 − 42 = 186 18228 = = 98 186 So, divisor is 98.

 Unit Digit Extreme right digit of a number is known as unit digit of that number.
 
 Unit Digit in the Multiplication of Numbers If we want to the unit digit in the multiplication of some numbers, we can do so by multiplying only the unit digits of the given numbers. e.g., Unit digit in 786 × 498 × 189 × 592 = Unit digit in 6 × 8 × 9 × 2 = Unit digit in 864 = 4
 
 ∴ Required number = 89 – 21 = 68

 [The difference between the sum of digits at even places and sum of the digits at odd places is 0]. 7. For divisibility by 3, the sum of digits of a number must be divisible by 3, sum of the digits of the number 10 * 4 = 1 + 0 + 4 = 5, which must be 6, so the digit at * place must be ( 6 − 5) = 1. 8.
 
 For divisibility by 3, the sum of digits of a number must be divisible by 3. The sum of digits of the number 325 * 6 = 3 + 2 + 5 + 6 = 16, which must be 18. So, the digit at * place must be ( 18 − 16) = 2.
 
 For divisibility by 9, the sum of digits of a number must be divisible by 9. The sum of digits of the number 34*24 = 3 + 4 + 2 + 4 = 13, which must be 18. So, the digit at * place must be ( 18 − 13) = 5. 10. Product of unit’s digit = 6 × 1 = 6 ∴Required digit = 6 11. Unit’s digit of ( 2467) × ( 341) 9.

 If the sum of digits of a number is divisible by both 9 and 3, that number will also be divisible by 9 and 3. Here, sum of digits = 9 + 7 + 0 + 8 + * + 3 = 27 + *, 27 is divisible by both 9 and 3. ∴The number, which comes at the place of * is 0. 16. 9999 ÷ 75, remainder = 24 ∴ The required number = 9999 − 24 = 9975 15.

 03 FRACTIONAL NUMBER AND FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS Fraction
 
 e.g.
 
 When a number quantity or an object is divided into equal parts, one or more of such equal parts is x known as fraction. It is formed as , where y ≠ 0, y which represents x number of parts out of y number of equal parts of a object. Every fraction has a numerator and a denominator. Here, x is called numerator and y is called denominator. Some figures are given below to understand the fraction in better way. 1.

 ì The value of an improper fraction is always more than or
 
 equal to 1.
 
 Mixed Fraction A fraction combined with whole number part and a fractional part is called mixed fraction. 4 9 7 e.g. 1 , 2 , 3 etc. 4 11 16
 
 Equivalent Fractions Equivalent fractions can be defined as fractions with different numerators and denominators that represent the same value or proportion of the whole. 3 6 30 e.g. etc are equal , , 5 10 50 ì The representation of the same ratio as multiplying or
 
 3.

 dividing numerator and denominator by common factor does not alter the value of the fraction.
 
 Reciprocal Fraction
 
 Types of Fraction Proper Fraction If numerator is less than the denominator of a fraction, then fraction is called proper fraction. 8 4 19 etc. e.g. , , 11 9 27 ì The value of proper fraction is always less than 1.
 
 Improper Fraction A fraction whose numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator is called an improper fraction.
 
 If numerator and denominator of a fraction are interchange to each other, then the new fraction is called a reciprocal fraction. 4 5 e.g. Reciprocal fraction of is . 5 4
 
 Addition of Fractions When Denominators are Equal Here, we simply add the numerators and keep the denominators same as all the denominators of the fraction are given same. 1 8 5 1 + 8 + 5 14 e.g. + + = = 9 9 9 9 9

 Fractional Number and Fundamental Operations When Fractions are Mixed with Equal Denominators Here, firstly we add all the whole part and simply add the numerator and keep and denominator same as all the denominators of the fraction are given same. And lastly we sum up these two parts and get the final result. 3 1 2 2+1+ 3 e.g. 7 + 4 + 3 = (7 + 4 + 3) + 8 8 8 8 6 6 = 14 + = 14 8 8 When Denominators are Unequal If denominators are unequal, then we take the LCM of denominators and make equivalent fraction having same denominator further sum up numerator. 5 2 3 e.g. + + 3 5 10 Here, LCM (3, 5, 10) = 30 5 5 10 50 2 2 6 12 ∴ = × = , = × = 3 3 10 30 5 5 6 30 3 3 3 9 and = × = 10 10 3 30 50 + 12 + 9 71 5 2 3 + + = = ∴ 3 5 10 30 30 When Fractions are Mixed with Unequal Denominators Here, firstly we add all the whole part and fraction part make equivalent fraction having same denominator and further sum up numerator. 1 1 2 2 1 1 e.g., 5 + 4 + 3 = ( 5 + 4 + 3 ) +  + +   3 2 6 6 2 3 2 × 2 + 3 × 1 + 1 × 1 = 12 +     6 1 4 8 = 12 + = 12 + = 12 + 1 3 3 6 1 1 = 12 + 1 + = 13 3 3
 
 When Fractions are Mixed with Equal Denominators Here, firstly we subtract all the whole part and simply subtract the numerator and keep the denominators same as all the denominators of the fraction are given same as. And lastly we sum up there two parts and get the final result. 5 7 7− 5 2 2 e.g. 8 − 4 = (8 − 4) + = 4+ = 4 4 4 4 4 4 When Denominators are Unequal If denominator are unequal, then we take the LCM of denominators and make equivalent fraction having same denominator. Further subtract the numerator 2 1 2 × 2−1 × 3 4− 3 1 e.g. − = = = 3 2 6 6 6 When Fractions are Mixed with Unequal Denominators Here, firstly we subtract all the whole part and fraction part make equivalent fraction having same denominators and further subtract the numerator. 1 × 4−1 × 3 1 1 1 1 e.g. 9 − 8 = ( 9 − 8) + − = 1 + 4 3 3 4 3× 4 1 1 =1 + =1 12 12
 
 Multiplication of Fractions 
 
 
 
 Convert the mixed fraction, if any into improper fraction. Multiply the numerators which gives the numerator of the product and multiply the denominators to get the denominator of the product. 1 2 1×2 2 (i) × = = 3 3 3× 3 9 3 5 5 5 × 5 25 2 (ii) 1 × 2 = × = = 1 3 1 3×1 3 3
 
 Subtraction of Fractions
 
 Division of Fractions
 
 The method of subtraction of fraction is same as that of their addition. Here, we have to take care regarding signs.
 
 First convert mixed fraction into improper fraction, if any is given.  In division of fraction first of all interchange the position of numerator and denominator of the second fraction. Now, multiply of first fractioni and interchange second fraction. 1 1 1 2 2 1 e.g. ÷ = × = = 4 2 4 1 4 2
 
 When Denominators are Equal Here, we simply subtract the numerator and keep the denominators same as all the denominators of the fraction are given same. 8 4 2 8 − 4− 2 2 e.g. − − = = 9 9 9 9 9

 CHAPTER
 
 04 FACTORS AND MULTIPLES INCLUDING THEIR PROPERTIES Factors If a number is exactly divisible by the another number, without leaving any remainder, then the second number is said to be a factor of first number. In other words, an exact divisor of a number is called a factor of the number.  1 is the factor of every number.  Every number is a factor of itself.  Factors of a number are less than or equal to that number.  Number of factors of that number are finite. Example 1. Find number of factors of 250. (1) 7 (2) 8 (3) 9 (4) 6 Sol. (2) 250 = 2 × 125 = 5 × 50 = 10 × 25 = 250 × 1 So, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 125 and 250 are all factors of 250. Hence, number of factors of 250 is 8.
 
 e.g. 5 × 1 = 5, 5 × 2 = 10,5 × 3 = 15, 5 × 4 = 20; Hence, 5, 10, 15 and 20 all are multiples of 5.  Multiple of a number is greater than or equal to that number.  Every number is a multiple of itself.  Every multiple of a number is exactly divisible by the number. Number of multiples of a number are infinite. Example 3. Find the first five multiples of 20 between 100 and 300. (1) 125, 130, 145, 165, 180 (2) 115, 130, 145, 165, 180 (3) 125, 135, 145, 165, 180 (4) 120, 140, 160, 180, 200 Sol. (4) Multiples of 20 between 100 and 300 are 120 (20 × 6), 140 (20 × 7), 160 (20 × 8), 180 (20 × 9), 200 (20 × 10).
 
 Common Factors
 
 Common Multiples
 
 When we find the factors of two or more numbers and then find some factors are the same (“Common”) then they are the “Common Factors”.
 
 A number that can be divided exactly by two or more different numbers. e.g. common multiple of 24 and 36 is 4, because 4 × 6 = 24, 4 × 9 = 36
 
 Example 2. What are the common factors of 20 and 25? (1) 4 (2) 5 (3) 6 (4) 7 Sol. (2) The factors of 20 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 The factors of 25 = 1, 5, 25 and the common factors of 20 and 25 are 1 and 5.
 
 Multiples A multiple of a number is the number obtained by multiplying it with other (or same) number. In other words, the product of two or more numbers is said to be a multiple of each of those numbers.
 
 Prime Factor The prime factors of a quantity are all of the prime quantities that will exactly divide the given quantity. e.g. 28 = 2 × 2 × 7 etc. Example 4. Find the prime factors of 96. (1) 4 (2) 5 (3) 6 (4) 7 Sol. (3) 96 = 2 × 48 = 2 × 2 × 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 12 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 6 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 Thus, the prime factors of 96 are 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 and 3.

 Hints and Solutions 1. From the options,
 
 Multiples of 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 or 4 × 3 × 5 or 6 × 10 Hence, number 60 is divisible by 3,4,5 and 6. 2. A common multiple of 9 and 7 both is A. Then number will completely divide both 9 and 7. We observed that only two numbers 1197 and 1260 is in between 1200 and 1300 is completely divide by 9 and 7. But only number 1260. Thus, the number A is 1260. 3. First four multiple of 6 = 6, 12, 18 and 24 Then, require sum = 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 = 60
 
 4. First five multiple of 6 is as follows 6 × 1, 6 × 2,
 
 6 × 3, 6 × 4, 6 × 5. or 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 ∴Required sum = 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 90 5. First five multiple of 6 is as follows 6 × 1, 6 × 2,
 
 6 × 3, 6 × 4, 6 × 5 or 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 Q Sum of first five multiple of 6 = 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 90 ∴Required difference of ten’s and unit’s digits =9 −0 =9 6. Q Factors of 316 are 1 × 316, 2 × 158 and 4 × 79

 CHAPTER
 
 05 LCM AND HCF OF NUMBERS LCM LCM (Least Common Multiple) of two or more numbers is a number which is smallest common multiple of the numbers, e.g., Multiple of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40. Multiple of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42. e.g. Among the multiple of 5 and 6; 30 is the smallest multiple, which is common to both. So, 30 is LCM of 5 and 6. Similarly, 28 is the LCM of 4 and 7.
 
 Methods for Finding LCM There are two methods for finding LCM 1. Prime factorisation method 2. Division method
 
 Prime Factorisation Method Step I
 
 Write each of the given numbers as product of prime factors. Step II Find the product of the highest powers of the prime factors, which will be the LCM. Example 1. Find the LCM of 54 and 21. (1) 350 (2) 256 (3) 378 (4) 415 Sol. (3) Prime factors of, 54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 In both numbers, 21 = 3 × 7 Factor ‘2’ appears maximum ‘one’ time. Factor ‘3’ appears maximum ‘three’ times.
 
 Factor ‘7’ appears maximum ‘one’ time. ∴Product = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 = 378, which is the required LCM.
 
 Division Method Step I Write the given numbers in a row Step II Write the factor on the left hand side, which can divide maximum of the numbers. Step III Write down the quotients and the undivided numbers in the row below the first row. Step IV Repeat steps II and III until we get a row, where all the numbers are prime to each other. Step V The product of all the factors/divisors and the numbers left in the last row is the required LCM. Example 2. Find the LCM of 36, 56, 105 and 108. (1) 6730 (2) 7577 (3) 6578 (4) 7560 Sol. (4) 2 36, 56, 105, 108 2
 
 18, 28, 105, 54

 9, 14, 105, 27
 
 7
 
 3, 14, 35, 9 3, 2,
 
 5,
 
 9
 
 36 is a factor/submultiple of 108 (36 × 3 = 108). 56 and 108 are divisible by 2. So, we write 2 on the left side and perform Step III. Next factors are 2, 3 and 7. Thereafter, we find that 2, 5 and 9 left in the last row have no common divisor i.e., 2, 5, 9 are co-prime to each other, though 9 itself is not a prime number. So, we find the product of 2, 2, 3, 7, 2, 5 and 9 to get the required LCM. LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 × 2 × 5 × 9 = 7560

 Questions Based on Bells
 
 Sol. (2) Factorising the given numbers
 
 To solve the problems based on ringing bells at different intervals, the student has to take LCM of different intervals.
 
 2 140 2 70 5 35 7
 
 Example Six bells commence ringing together and ring at intervals of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 seconds respectively. After what interval of time will they ring again together?
 
 140 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 7 168 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 224 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 Common prime factors are 2 × 2 × 7 ∴ HCF = 2 × 2 × 7 = 28
 
 2 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 2 1, 1, 3, 2, 5, 3 3 1, 1, 3, 1, 5, 3 1, 1, 1, 1, 5 ⇒
 
 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 120
 
 HCF HCF (Highest Common Factor) is the greatest number that divides both the given numbers or more numbers. i.e., HCF is a greatest common factor of all the given numbers. It is also known as Greatest Common Divisor (GCD). e.g. 15 is the greatest number that divides both 30 and 75. So, 15 is the HCF of 30 and 75.
 
 Methods for Finding HCF There are two methods for finding HCF 1. Prime factorisation method 2. Division method
 
 Prime Factorisation Method Step I Write each number as product of its prime factors. Step II Multiply the factors with lowest powers which are common to all numbers. Example 3. Find the HCF of 140, 168 and 224. (1) 25 (2) 28 (3) 38 (4) 20
 
 2 224 2 112 2 56 2 28 2 14 7
 
 Thus,
 
 Sol. According to question, first we take the LCM of intervals LCM of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. So, after each 120 seconds, they would ring together.
 
 2 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
 
 2 168 2 84 2 42 3 21 7
 
 Division Method Step I
 
 Divide the greater number by the smaller number. Step II Next, divide the preceding divisor by the remainder. Continue until you get zero as remainder. The last divisor is the required HCF. Example 4. Find the HCF of 45 and 108. (1) 12 (2) 7 (3) 9 Sol. (3) Q 45 < 108 45) 108 (2 ∴ 90 18 ) 45 (2 36 9) 18 (2 18 × ∴ Required HCF = 9
 
 (4) 10
 
 Example 5. Find the HCF of 24 and 30. (1) 6 (2) 7 (3) 8 (4) 5 Sol. (1) By prime factorization method, 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 ; 30 = 2 × 3 × 5 HCF = Highest Common Factor of 24 and 30 =2 ×3=6
 
 Alternate Method By Division method,
 
 ∴
 
 24)30(1 24 6)24(4 24 × HCF = The last divisor = 6

 06 DECIMAL AND FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS ON THEM Decimal Numbers The numbers expressed in decimal form are called decimal numbers e.g. 0.71, 3.2, 0.10 A decimal has two parts, namely (i) whole number part (ii) decimal part These parts are separated by a dot (.) called the decimal point. The part on the left side of the decimal point is the whole number part and that on its right side is the decimal part. e.g. In 62.64, whole number part = 62 and decimal part = 64. Decimal Places The number of digits contained in the decimal part of a decimal gives the number of
 
 decimal places. e.g. 4.24 has two decimal places and 9.126 has three decimal places.
 
 Decimal Fraction A fraction in which the denominator is 10 or the power of 10 called decimal fraction. It may be represented 1 3 6 3 etc. Hence, is the hundredth part of 3 and must be written as 0.03. as , , 10 100 1000 100 Thus every decimal fraction represents a fraction number.

 Operations on Decimal Numbers (or Fractions) 1. Addition and Subtraction of Decimal Numbers To add or subtract decimal numbers, the numbers are placed under each in such a way that the decimal point lie in a line. Then, the numbers can be added or subtracted as in usual manner. e.g. Find the addition of 51.3, 7.078, 1.38 and 0.9. Now, 51.300 7.078 1.380 + 0.900 60.658

 2. Multiplication of Two or More Decimal Numbers To multiply two decimal numbers, we follow the given steps: Step I Multiply the two decimal numbers without the decimal point just like whole numbers. Step II Now, count the number of digits starting from the rightmost digit and move towards left. Then, put the decimal there. Mark the decimal point in the product in such a way that the number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the decimal places in the given decimal numbers. ì To multiply a decimal number by 10 is equivalent to
 
 moving the decimal point one place to the right. To multiply by 100 is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the right and so on. Example 3.
 
 Find the product of 3.5413 × 2.1.
 
 (1) 7.67343 (2) 7.14654 (3) 6.67345 (4) 7.43673 Sol. (4) For the product of 3.5413 × 2.1. Consider them without decimal, i.e., 35413 × 21 = 743673 Total number of digits after decimal = 4 + 1 = 5 So, put decimal point at 5th place from right hand side in product. ∴ 3.5413 × 2.1 = 7.43673

 4. Conversion of Simple Fraction into Decimal Number To convert a fraction into a decimal, given steps are to be followed: Step I Divide the numerator by the denominator till a non-zero remainder is obtained. Step II Put a decimal point in the dividend as well as in the quotient. Step III Put a zero on the right of the decimal point in the dividend as well as on the right of the remainder. Step IV Divide again just as we do in wholenumbers. Step V Repeat steps III and IV, till the remainder is zero. 11 Example 5. Convert into decimal number. 16 (1) 0.6875 (2) 0.6785 (3) 0.6587 Sol. (1) 0.6875 16) 11.0000 96 140 128 120 112 80 80 ×
 
 3. Division of Decimal Numbers To divide a decimal number by another decimal number, remove the decimal point in the divisor by multiplying both the dividend and divisor by the appropriate multiple of 10, then use the procedure of dividing a decimal number by a whole number.
 
 7.103 7.103 × 100 710.3 = = = 3.53 201 2.01 2.01 × 100

 Decimal and Fundamental Operations on Them 5. Conversion of Decimal Number into Simple Fraction To convert a decimal into a fraction, given steps are to be followed: Step I Write the given decimal without decimalpoint as the numerator of the fraction. Step II In the denominator, write 1 followed by as many zeroes as there are decimal places in the given decimal. Step III Change the fraction obtained to the simplest form. 25 e.g., 0.025 = 1000 [ Q 3 digits after decimal, so we put 3 zeros]

 Methods of Finding Square Root
 
 The square root of a number is that factor of the number which, when multiplied by itself, will give that number. The square root of a number is indicated by
 
 Factorisation Method
 
 the sign
 
 .
 
 e.g. The square root of 25 is written as 25.
 
 Thus, 25 = 5 × 5 = 5
 
 Following steps are to be followed find the square root by factorization method Step I Write the given number as product of prime factors. e.g. 144 Step II Make pairs of prime factor and take the product by choosing one digit from each paird Eq. 144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

 Division Method The steps of this method can be easily understood with the help of following example. Example 3. Find the square root of 18769.
 
 Step V The process (processes like III and IV) goes on till all the periods (pairs) come to an end and we get remainder as 0 (zero) now. Hence, the required square root = 137
 
 Square Root of a Decimal Number To make periods in decimal number, make pair near decimal point, number before decimal point will be paired starting from left of decimal and number after decimal will be paired starting from right of decimal. Example 4. Find the square root of 232.5625. (1) 10.50 (2) 15.25 (3) 14.50 (4) 17.25 Sol. (2) 15.25
 
 (1) 133 (2) 137 (3) 135 (4) 134 Sol. (2) Step I In the given number, mark off the digits in pairs starting from the unit digit. Each pair and the remaining one digit (if any) is called a period.

 Step II Choose a number whose square is less than or equal to 1. Here, 12 = 1, on subtracting, we get 0 (zero) as remainder. 1 1 1 87 69 1
 
 Step III Bring down the next period, i.e. 87. Now, the trial divisor is 1 × 2 = 2 and trial dividend is 87. So, we take 23 as divisor and put 3 as quotient. The remainder is 18 now. 13 1 1 87 69 1 23 87 69 18
 
 Step IV Bring down the next period, which is 69. Now, trial divisor is 13 × 2 = 26 and trial dividend is 1869. So, we take 267 as dividend and 7 as quotient. The remainder is 0. 137 1 1 87 69 1 23 87 69

 Cube If a number is multiplied two times with itself, then the result of this multiplication is called the cube of that number. e.g., cube of 6 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216
 
 Method of Finding Cube Root Prime Factorisation Method This method has following steps Step I Express the given number as the product of prime factors. Step II Keep these factors in a group of three. Step III Take the product of these prime factors picking one out of every group (group of three) of the same primes. This product gives us the cube root of given number. Example 7. Find the cube root of 9261. (1) 22 (2) 21 (3) 23 (4) 24 Sol. (2) Prime factors of 9261 = (3 × 3 × 3) × (7 × 7 × 7) 3 9261 = 3 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7 × 7 Now, taking one number from each group of three, we get 3 9261 = 3 × 7 = 21

Convert 10 inches into centimetre. (1) 24.4 cm (2) 23.2 cm (3) 25.4 cm (4) 27.7 cm Sol. (3) Q 1 inch = 2.54 cm ∴ 10 inch = 2.54 × 10 = 25.4 cm Example 2. Convert 6825 m into kilometres and
 
 millimetres. (1) 6.825 km, 6825000 mm (2) 7.601 km, 2765000 mm (3) 5.625 km, 135700 mm (4) 4.625 km, 372140 mm

 Unitary Method In this method, we find the value of one article for reference and then determine the value of group. This method is also known as ‘Method of one’. Value of given number of article Value of 1 article = Number of articles and value of required number of article = (Value of one article) × (Required number of articles) Example 8. If 8 books cost ` 680. What will be the cost of
 
 such 15 books? (1) ` 1275 (2) ` 1350 (3) ` 1005 Sol. (1)QCost of 8 books = ` 680 680 ∴Cost of 1 book = ` 8 680 15 × = ` 1275 ∴Cost of 15 books = 8 1

 Measurement Work and Time 1. Work and Person Directly proportional (more work, more men and conversely more men, more work). 2. Time and Person Inversely proportional (more men, less time and conversely more time, less men). 3. Work and Time Directly proportional (more work, more time and conversely more time, more work). While solving these types of problems the work done is always supposed to be equal to 1.
 
 Example 9. If the wages of 12 men for 30 days be ` 4200, the wages of 18 men for 24 days is (1) ` 5040 (2) ` 3200 (3) ` 4800 (4) ` 6400 Sol. (1) Let the required wages = ` x Men 12 : 18  : : 4200 : × (Direct proportion) Days 30 : 24  12 × 30 × x = 18 × 24 × 4200 18 × 24 × 4200 x= ∴ 12 × 30 = ` 5040 ∴Required wages = ` 5040

 CHAPTER
 
 09 APPROXIMATION OF EXPRESSIONS Approximation An approximation means the most nearest value of a term. The term can be applied to various properties (e.g. value, quantity, image, description) that are nearly but not exactly same. e.g. if we ask age of someone, he does not say 10 yr, 4 months, 20 days. He simply says, I am approximately 10 yr old. Thus, conversion of exact numbers into approximate numbers is called approximation or rounding off. The numbers are rounded to the nearest tens, hundreds, thousands etc. depending upon the requirement.
 
 Rules for Approximation To round or approximate a number to a required place, we look at the digit just right to the required place. If the digit is less than 5, we leave it and if it is 5 or more than 5 we add 1 to the digit at the required place. In each case we put zeros in place of all digits to the right of the required place. In case of decimal we check the digit after decimal. e.g. Rounded off to the nearest hundred. (i) 1878 (ii) 31238 (iii) 16.73
 
 Sol.
 
 (i) In 1878, the digit at the hundreds place is 8 and the digit to the right of it is 7 which is more than 5. So we add 1 at hundreds place and remaining ten and unit digit consider as 0. ∴ 1878 rounded to the nearest hundred = 1900 (ii) In 31238, the digit at the hundreds place is 2 and the digit to the right of it is 3. Which is less than 5. So, we keep the face value of hundred will remain same and the remaining then and unit digit consider as 0. ∴ 31238 rounded to the nearest hundred = 31200 (iii) In 16.73, the digit after decimal is 7. So, we add 1 to the digit before the decimal and leave out the digit after decimal place. ∴ 16.73 rounded to the whole number = 17 Example 1. Find the sum of 425, 998, 789, 869 and 954 to its
 
 nearest thousand. (1) 4030 (2) 4035 (3) 4000 (4) 4040 Sol. (3) The sum = ( 425 + 998 + 789 + 869 + 954) = 4035 In 4035, the digit at the thousands place is 4 and the digit just right to it is 0 (less than 5) leave it. So, 4035 rounded to the nearest thousand = 4000 Example 2. Round 83.486 to the nearest hundredth. (1) 83.490 (2) 83490 (3) 84 (4) 83.480 Sol. (1) The digit at hundredths place is 6. So, the digit at tenth place, i.e. 8 will change to 9 and 6 will change to zero. Hence, the number will be 83.490.

 digit just right to it is 5. ∴In nearest thousand it will be written as 6000. Q The number 8320 is less than 8500. Therefore, in nearest thousand it will be written as 8000. Q The digit just right to 5 is 0. ∴ In nearest hundred it will be written as 37500. 18.24 × 20.2 = 368.448 The digit at hundredth place is 4 which is < 5. So, making all the digits after decimal 0, the result is 368.000 or 368. In 76.0684, 6 is greater than 5, so we add 1 to 7. Then, value of 76.0684, rounded to the nearest ten = 80

 Hints and Solutions 1. In numeral 135.78, digit after decimal is 7
 
 (more than 5), so we add 1 to the digit before the decimal and leave out the all decimal value. ∴ 135.78 rounded to the whole number = 136 2. Approximate value of 840.0003 = 840 and 23999 . = 24 So, 840 ÷ 24 = 35 3. Given, 6885009 . − 419.999 − 94989 . Approximate value = 6885 − 420 − 95 = 6370 11111 × 1 × 1 10000 4. ≈ = 9.09 111 × 11 110 × 10 ∴ Digit after decimal is 0 (less than 5), So we leave it and rounded 9.09 to the whole number 9. 5. Given, (8531 + 6307 + 1093) ÷ (501 + 724 + 396 ) Approximate value = (8530 + 6300 + 1090 ) ÷ (500 + 720 + 400 ) = 15920 ÷ 1620 = 9.82 ∴Digit after decimal is 8 (more than 5), so we add 1 to digit before the decimal and leave out the remaining decimal value. ∴ 9.82 rounded to the whole number 10. 6. Q Sum = 865 + 795 + 491 + 639 + 367 = 3157 ∴ Digit just after 1 is 5 Therefore , in nearest hundred it will be written as 3200. 7. Value = (897 + 635 + 468 − 120 − 721) = 1159 ∴ Digit after 1 is 5 (equal to 5), so we add 1 to the digit before 5, hence 1159 is rounded off to 1200. 8. In 4444, the digit at the thousands place is 4 and the digit just right to it is 4, which is less than 5. So, we leave it. ∴ 4444 rounded to the nearest thousand = 4000 9. In 2871, the digit at the hundred place is 8 and the digit just right to it is 7. So, 2871 rounded to the nearest hundred = 2900 10. Approximation of 6.97 = 7 Approximation of 0.093 = 0.1 ∴ 6.97 × 0.093 ≈ 7 × 0.1 = 0.7

 Approximation of 0.98 = 1 ∴15.38 × 0.98 ≈ 15 × 1 = 15 Approximation value of 109 . =1 and 5.908 = 6 ∴ 1.09 × 5.908 ≈ 1 × 6 = 6 In 14.444, the digit at the hundredth place is 4 and the digit just right to it is 4, which is less than 5. So, leave it. ∴ Required number = 14 . 44 In 14656152, the digit at the lakh place is 6 and the digit just right to it is 5. ∴ Required number = 1500000 In 1320.8, the digit at the tenth place is 8. ∴ Required number = 1321 Calculating the value = 152479 . × 19.92 + 49526 . = 1525 × 20 + 495 = 30995 Digit to the right of thousand is 9, so we will add 1 to the thousand place and would rounded 30995 to 31000. Calculating the value = 328 + 437 + 189 − 286 = 668 ∴ Approximate value = 668 = 670 Sum = 111 + 222 + 333 + 444 + 555 = 1665 Digit just after 6 is 6 (more than 5). Hence, nearest hundred of 1665 = 1700 Approximation of 328 . =3 Approximation of 125 . =1 ∴ 328 . × 125 . ≈ 3 × 1= 3 Approximation of 7.89 = 8 Approximation of 3.90 = 4 ∴ 7.89 × 390 . ≈ 8 × 4 = 32 Approximation of 8.34 = 8 Approximation of 4.97 = 5 Approximation of 1.89 = 2 Approximation of 7.19 = 7 Approximation of 6.90 = 7 ∴ 8.34 + 4.97 +1.89 + 7.19 − 6.90 ≈ 8 + 5 + 2 + 7 − 7 = 15

 10 SIMPLIFICATION OF NUMERICAL EXPRESSIONS Simplification Many times different operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are involved simultaneously in the expression. The process of simplify these expressions is known as simplification. In order to simplify an arithmetic expression we must follow the rule of VBODMAS.
 
 VBODMAS Rule The operation have to be carried out in the order in which they appear in the word ‘VBODMAS’, where V

 11 AVERAGE Average The average (or mean) of a given observation or data is a number which is found on dividing the sum of observations or data by the number of observations or data given. Sum of observations Average = Number of observations If x1 , x2 , x3 , … , xn are n numbers, then the average of x + x2 + x3 + … + xn these numbers is x = 1 n Example 1. The marks obtained by a student are 40 , 50 ,
 
 60 , 70 , 80. Find his average marks.
 
 Example 2. Rahul Dravid in his12th inning makes a score of 63 runs and thereby increase his average score by 2. What is his average after the 12th inning? (1) 50 (2) 41 (3) 25 (4) 30 Sol. (2) Let the average of Dravid’s 11 innings be x. Then, the average of 12 innings = x + 2 11x + 63 = x + 2 ⇒ 12 x + 24 = 11x + 63 ⇒ x = 39 ∴ 12 Hence, the average of 12 innings = 39 + 2 = 41 Example 3. The average of 5 numbers is 496. If two of
 
 them are 117 and 140, find the average of remaining three numbers. (1) 239 (2) 717 (3) 741 (4) 637 Sol. (3) Sum of 5 numbers = 496 × 5 = 2480
 
 (1) 60 (2) 50 (3) 40 (4) 30 Sol. (1) Average marks 40 + 50 + 60 + 70 + 80 = 5 300 = = 60 5
 
 Sum of two given numbers = 117 + 140 = 257 Sum of remaining 3 numbers = 2480 − 257 = 2223 2223 = 741 ∴ Average of these 3 numbers = 3

 12 PERCENTAGE AND ITS APPLICATIONS Percentage
 
 Conversion of Per cent into Fraction
 
 Percentage means per hundred or for every hundred. Or The value which is considered for every hundred is termed as percentage and the numerator of such fraction (having denominator 100) is called as the rate of percentage. Percentage is represented by % sign.

 Per cent as a Fraction
 
 Finding a Percentage of a Number
 
 To convert a per cent into a fraction, we divide it by 100 and remove the per cent sign %. 5 1 e.g. = 5% = 100 20 0 .3 3 = 0 .3 % = 100 1000 0 .006 6 3 0 .006 % = = = 100 100000 50000
 
 To find a per cent of a given number, we proceed as follows  Obtain the number, say x.  Obtain the required per cent, say p%.  Multiply x by p and divide by 100 to obtain the p required p% of x. i.e. p % of x = ×x 100
 
 Important Formulae
 
 Fraction as a Per cent To convert a fraction into a per cent, we multiply it by 100 and apply the per cent sign %. 3 3 e.g. = × 100  % = 75% 4  4  0 .4 = [ 0 .4 × 100 ]% = 40 % 0 .08 = [ 0 .08 × 100 ]% = 8 %

 CHAPTER
 
 13 PROFIT, LOSS AND DISCOUNT To understand the concept of profit and loss, students must be aware about the following terms and formulae. Cost Price (CP) The price at which a person buys an article is called the Cost Price (CP) of the article. Selling Price (SP) The price at which an article is sold, is called the Selling Price (SP) of the article. Marked Price (MP) The list price of an article is the price at which the article is sold.
 
 Profit or Gain Whenever a person sells an article at price greater than the cost price he is said to have made a profit or gain. (i) Profit or Gain = SP − CP [here, SP > CP] Profit (ii) Profit per cent = × 100 CP 100+Profit% (iii) SP = CP × 100
 
 Loss When SP of an article is less than, then there is a net loss. (i) Loss = CP − SP [here, CP > SP] Loss (ii) Loss % = × 100 % CP 100 − Loss % (iii) SP = CP × 100 Example 1. Find the SP, When CP is ` 80 and loss is 20% . (1) ` 74 (2) ` 64 (3) ` 80 (4) ` 90
 
 Sol. (2) Given, CP=` 80 and loss=20% 100 − Loss%  SP =  ∴  × CP   100 100 − 20  =   × 80 = 8 × 8 = ` 64  100  Example 2. Find the CP, when SP is ` 40 and gain is 15%. (1) ` 35 (2) ` 36.5 (3) ` 34.78 (4) ` 40.00 Sol. (3) Given, SP = ` 40 and gain = 15% ∴ ⇒ ⇒
 
 100+15 100 115 23 ⇒ 40 = CP × 40 = CP × 100 20 40 × 20 CP = = ` 34.78 23 40 = CP ×
 
 Example 3. Rajendra sells a radio in ` 510 and bears a loss of 15%. At what price should radio be sold to gain a profit of 15%? (1) ` 600 (3) ` 620
 
 (2) ` 660 (4) ` 690
 
 100 − Loss % = SP 100 100 − 15 CP × = 510 100 510 × 100 CP × = ` 600 85 100 + Profit% Required selling price = CP × 100 100 + 115 ∴ = 600 × 100 115 = 600 × = ` 690 100 Sol. (4) Q CP ×

 Profit, Loss and Discount Example 4. Ranu buys a toy for ` 150 and sells it for ` 165.
 
 Find her profit per cent. (1) 10 (3) 30 Sol. (1)
 
 (2) 20 (4) 40 Cost price = ` 150 Selling price = ` 165
 
 As, SP > CP so a net profit Profit amount = 165 – 150 = ` 15 Profit Profit per cent = × 100 ∴ CP 15 = × 100 = 10% 150 Example 5. Yash purchased a saree for ` 2000 and sells it for ` 1500. Find his loss per cent. (1) 5 (2) 10 (3) 20 (4) 25 Sol. (4) Cost price (CP) = ` 2000 Selling price (SP) = ` 1500 As, CP > SP ∴
 
 Loss amount = 2000 – 1500 = ` 500 Loss Loss per cent = × 100 CP 500 = × 100 2000 = 25%
 
 Example 6. A shopkeeper sold a radio in ` 810 and bear 10% loss. If he sells the same radio in ` 1035, then how
 
 much per cent profit he gains? (1) 20 (2) 18 (3) 25 (4) 15 Sol. (4) Here, SP = ` 810, Loss = 10 % 100 − Loss % we know that, SP × = SP 100 100 − 10 CP × = 810 ⇒ 100
 
 ⇒
 
 CP ×
 
 90 = 810 100 CP = 810 ×
 
 ⇒
 
 100 90
 
 = ` 900 Now, SP = 1035 So, profit = SP − CP = 1035−900 = ` 135 Profit × 100 ∴ Profit per cent = CP 135 = × 100 900 = 15%
 
 Discount It is an offer made by the seller to buyer for reduction in price to be paid. (i) Discount = MP − SP (ii) Selling price 100 − Rate of discount = Marked price ×     100 100 × Selling price (iii) Marked price = 100 − Rate of discount Example 7. A dealer offers 20% discount. If the selling price of the article is 216 then what is the marked price of the article? (1) ` 270 (3) ` 280 Sol. (1) Here, SP = 216 Discount = 20%
 
 100 − Discount% = SP 100 100 − 20 MP × = 216 100 80 MP × = 216 100 216 × 100 MP = = ` 270 80

 CHAPTER
 
 14 SIMPLE INTEREST Interest A borrower borrow money from a bank or some other person. Then the borrower pays a certain amount for the use of this money. This certain money or amount paid is known as interest.
 
 Simple Interest If the interest on a certain sum borrowed for a certain period is calculated uniformly, then it is called simple interest and it is denoted by SI. The interest is always calculated only on the principal borrowed money.
 
 Principal The amount of loan or borrowing involved in the transaction is called the principal and it is denoted by P.
 
 Amount The sum of principal and interest is called amount and it is denoted by A. ∴ Amount (A) = Principal + Simple interest
 
 Rate of Interest It is the rate at which the interest is charged on principal. It is always specified in percentage term.
 
 Important Formulae
 
 P× R ×T 100 SI × 100 Principal (P) = R ×T SI × 100 Rate (R) = P ×T SI × 100 Time (T) = P× R

 15 RATIO AND PROPORTION Ratio
 
 Proportion
 
 The ratio of two quantities in the same units is the fractions that one quantity is of the other. Or It is a tool to compare two or more numbers of same a quantities. Thus, the ratio a to b is the fraction b written as a : b.
 
 The equality of two ratios is called proportion. Let a, b, c and d are four quantities, then the a c proportional are a : b : : c : d or = . b a
 
 Note In the ratio a : b, the first term a is antecedent and second term b is consequent.
 
 Properties of Ratio (i) The value of a ratio remains unchanged, if each one of its term is multiplied or divided by a same non-zero number. (ii) a2 : b2 is the duplicate ratio of a : b. (iii) a3 : b3 is the triplicate ratio of a : b. Example 1. If p : q = 3 : 4 and q : r = 8 : 9. Find the ratio of
 
 p : q : r is (1) 2:4:3 (2) 9:6:8 (3) 6:8:9 p 3 q 8 and = = q 4 r 9 p 3×2 6 q 8 = = and = ⇒ q 4 ×2 8 r 9 ∴ p :q :r = 6 :8 :9

 CHAPTER
 
 16 SPEED, DISTANCE AND TIME Speed Speed is defined as the distance covered per unit time. It is the rate at which the distance is covered Generally, we measured the speed in km/h. (i) To convert speed from km/h to m/s multiply 5 the speed by . 18 (ii) To convert speed from m/s to km/h multiply 18 the speed by . 5 Example 1. Convert 18 km/h into m/s. (1) 6 m/s (2) 18 m/s (3) 5 m/s (4) 8 m/s 5 m/s = 5 m/s Sol. (3) 18 km/h = 18 × 18 Example 2. Convert 10 m/s into km/h. (1) 36 km/h (2) 33 km/h (3) 13 km/h (4) 8 km/h 18 km/h = 36 km/h Sol. (1) 10 m/s = 10 × 5
 
 Time
 
 Relation between Speed, Time and Distance The speed of a moving body is the distance travelled by it in unit time. Distance Distance ∴ or Time = Speed = Speed Time or Distance = Speed × Time  Units of speed, time and distance should be in the same metric system. Example 3. A car travels at the speed of 85 km/h and reaches its destination in 5 h. What is distance covered by the car? (1) 425 km (2) 550 km (3) 452 km (4) 450 km Sol. (1) Required distance = Speed × time = 85 × 5 = 425 km Example 4. A car covers a distance of 816 km in 12 h. What is the speed of the car? (1) 78 km/h (2) 68 km/h (3) 62 km/h (4) 75 km/h Sol. (2) Speed of the car =
 
 Distance covered 816 = = 68km/h 12 Time taken
 
 The duration in hours, minutes or seconds spent to cover a certain distance is called the time.
 
 Average Speed
 
 Distance
 
 The ratio of total distance covered to the total time of journey is said to be average speed.
 
 The length of the path travelled by any object or a person between two places is known as distance.
 
 Average speed =
 
 Total distance covered Total time of journey

 Problems Related to Train 
 
 
 
 Example 5. Deepak covers a certain distance by car driving at 25 km/h and he returns back to the starting point riding on a scooter by 15 km/h. Find the average speed for the whole journey. (1) 16 km/h (2) 18.75 km/h (3) 20 km/h (4) 24.75 km/h Sol. (2) Here, a = 25 km/h, b = 15 km/h 2 × 25 × 15 50 × 15 = = = 18.75 km/h 25 + 15 40 2ab ∴Average speed = a+ b Alternate Method
 
 Let the distance covered from one side = x km x The time taken with 25 km/h = 25 x The time taken with 15 km/h = 15 Total distance Average speed = Total time taken x+ x 2x = = x x 3x + 5x + 25 15 75 2 x × 75 = = 18.75 km/h 8x
 
 If a train of length ‘l’ passes a pole, it travels a distance equal to its own length, i.e., l. If a train passes a stationary object (bridge, platform etc.) having some length, then the distance covered by train is equal to the sum of the lenght of train and that particular stationary object which it is passing.
 
 Relative Speed 
 
 
 
 
 
 If two bodies are moving in the same direction at x km/h and y km/h, where ( x > y), then their relative speed is given by ( x − y) km /h. If two bodies are moving in opposite direction at x km/h and y km/h, then their relative speed is given by ( x + y) km /h. If the ratio of speed of A and B is x : y, then the ratio of time taken by them to cover the same 1 1 distance is given by : i.e. y : x. x y
 
 Example 6. A 360 m long train crosses a signal post in 18 s. What is the speed (in km/h) of the train? (1) 26 (2) 66 (3) 27 (4) 72 Sol. (4) When a train crosses a signal post it travels its own length. 360 Speed = = 20 m/s ∴ 18 18 =  20 ×  = 72 km/h  5

 It is the study of three dimensional (3D) figures (solid figures). The main characteristic of three dimensional figure is that it have length, breadth and depth or height or thickness. The object in three dimension (3D) may be solid or hollow.
 
 Volume
 
 The figure formed by joining four points, in which all four sides are equal and each angle is a right angle, i.e., 90°, is called square. In figure, ABCD is a square in which AB = BC = CD = AD = a (say) and ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90 ° and AC = BD where, AC and BD are diagonals. A
 
 Volume and Surface Area
 
 The amount of space occupied by the three dimensional object is called its volume. Its unit of measurement is m 3 , cm 3 , inches 3 etc. It is the measurement of solid shapes having length, breadth and depth or height. Hence, these figures are known as three dimensional figures. Some of the popular three dimensional figures are as cube, cuboid, room and box etc.
 
 Cuboid The figure formed by joining 6 faces, in which each face is a rectangle and opposite faces are equal and parallel, is called cuboid. In figure, AB is length, AE is breadth and AD is height of the cuboid and face ABCD = EFGH, AEHD = BFGC and AEFB = DHGC, face DHGC is called base and other faces are called lateral face. BH, DF, AG and EC are called diagonals. E

 18 PATTERN A pattern is a set of rule within the numeral and number series, hence refers to certain mathematical operations likewise addition, subtraction, division and multiplication from one term to another term. It can be classified in two ways :
 
 Grid Pattern It contains more than one numeral within the square rectangle applying certain rule. e.g., 6 9 13
 
 11 14 18
 
 Example 1. Identify the value of question mark (?).
 
 (1) 48, 51, 53 (2) 48, 51, 54 (3) 46, 49, 52 (4) 51, 54, 57
 
 21 31 41 ?
 
 18 ↓ + 10 28 ↓ + 10 38 ↓ + 10 48
 
 18 + 3 = 21
 
 21 + 3 = 24
 
 28 + 3 = 31
 
 31 + 3 = 34
 
 38 + 3 = 41
 
 41 + 3 = 44
 
 48 + 3 = 51
 
 51 + 3 = 54
 
 Example 2. If sum of each row, column and diagonals are
 
 equal, then the value of P, Q and R respectively is
 
 16 19 23
 
 Second and third term in each row is exceeding by 5 and 10 of the first term of each row i.e. Ist row, 6 + 5 = 11 and 6 + 10 = 16 IInd row, 9 + 5 = 14 and 9 + 10 = 19 IIIrd row, 13 + 5 = 18 and 13 + 10 = 23

(2) QSum of all column are equal. ∴ 15 + 19 + 23 = 22 + Q + 18 ⇒ 57 = 40 + Q ⇒ Q = 17 Again, sum of all row are equal. ∴ P + 15 + 22 = 21 + 19 + Q = R + 23 + 18 ⇒ P + 37 = 40 + Q = R + 41 ⇒ P + 37 = 40 + 17 ⇒ P = 20 and R + 41 = 40 + 17 R = 16
 
 Series Based Pattern Such type of questions mainly deals with the pattern of increasing or decreasing of numerals, hence may be operated by the mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

 Hence, 20 is the missing term. 6. Since, the sum of last row = 4 + 9 + 2 = 15 Now, sum of diagonal 4 + 5 + z = 15 z = 15 − 9 =6 Now, sum of first column 8 + y + 4 = 15 y = 15 − 12 =3 Also, y + 5 + w = 15 3 + 5 + w = 15 w = 15 − 8 =7 Now, 8 + x + z = 15 8 + x + 6 = 15 x = 15 − 14 = 1 Hence, x, y, z and w are 1, 3, 6 and 7.

 Pictograph is the way of representing data using image /picture of objects. Each picture (image) stands for a certain number of objects. It helps us to answer the questions on the data at a glance. e.g., Rajesh was asked to find the number of students playing different games in the school. The information collected by him is as follows : Football 40, Cricket 30, Basketball 20, Badminton 10 Represent the given information with a pictograph. Given, information by Rajesh Football → 40, Cricket → 30, Basketball → 20, Badminton → 10 The given data can be represented by a pictograph as shown below :

 Example 1. What is the number of sold bananas during all
 
 the given months? (1) 1380 (2) 1280 Sol. (1)Q 1 dozen = 12
 
 (3) 1180
 
 (4) 1480
 
 ∴ = 5 dozen = 5 × 12 Number of sold bananas in March = 6 × 12 × 5 = 360 bananas Number of sold bananas in April = 3 × 12 × 5 = 180 bananas Number of sold bananas in May = 5 × 12 × 5 = 300 bananas Number of sold bananas in June = 2 ×12 × 5 =120 bananas Number of sold bananas in July = 7 ×12 × 5 = 420 bananas Hence, number of sold bananas = 360 + 180 + 300 + 120 + 420 = 1380 bananas

 Data Interpretation
 
 Bar Graph
 
 Histogram
 
 A bar graph is a pictorial representation of numerical data in the form of rectangles (or bars) of equal width and varying heights. Bars of uniform width can be drawn horizontally or vertically with equal spacing between them and the length of each bar represents the given number. Such method of representing data is called a bar diagram or a bar graph. e.g., Number of Employees Over the Years 2001-2005 (in Thousands)
 
 A histogram is a pictorial representation of numberical data in the form of rectangles (or bars of equal width and varying height. Bars of uniform width can be drawn horizontally or verically without space between them and the length of each bar represents the given number. Such method of representing data is called a histogram. e.g., The number of hours for which students of a particular class watched television during holidays has been shown through the given graph.

 Hints and Solutions 1. Total sale of Burger = 320 Burger sold on Wednesday = 40 Burger sold on Thursday = 60 Burger sold on Friday = 80 Burger sold on Saturday = 55 Now, burger sold on Sunday = Total sale − Sale on (Wed + Thu + Fri + Sat) = 320 − (40 + 60 + 80 + 55) = 320 − 235 = 85 2. Number of plant sold from Monday to friday = 20 × ( 2 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 5) = 20 × 19 = 380 3. Number of sold bananas in March = 6 × 12 × 5 = 360 bananas Number of sold bananas in April = 3 × 12 × 5 = 180 bananas Number of sold bananas in May = 5 × 12 × 5 = 300 bananas Number of sold bananas in June = 2 × 12 × 5 = 120 bananas Number of sold bananas in July = 7 × 12 × 5 = 420 bananas Hence, number of sold bananas = 360 + 180 + 300 + 120 + 420 = 1380 bananas 4. Lectures taken by Amit in a day = 2 Lectures taken by Raghav in a day = 5 Total number of Lectures by Amit and Raghav =2 + 5 =7 Total number of Lectures by Amit and Raghav in a week = 7 × 6 = 42 Lectures taken by Gopal in a day = 4 Lectures taken by Pramod in a day = 3 Total number of Lectures by Gopal and Pramod =4 + 3 =7 Total number of Lectures by Gopal and Pramod in a week = 7 × 6 = 42 ∴ Required difference = 42 − 42 = 0 5. It is clear from the bar chart Shyam gets 80 marks in Science. ∴Required per cent marks Obtained marks in Science = × 100 Total marks in Science
 
 80 × 100 = 80% 100 Shoes sold in September month = 3 × 112 = 336 Shoes sold in October month = 4 × 112 = 448 Shoes sold in November month = 3 × 112 = 336 Shoes sold in December month = 1 × 112 = 112 ∴Total number of shoes sold by the shopkeeper in 4 months = 336 + 448 + 336 + 112 = 1232 From the given bar chart we clearly say that 8 students play table tennis. Total number of students = 2 × 50 + 3 × 50 + 4 × 50 + 6 × 50 = 100 + 150 + 200 + 300 = 750 Number of students use school van = 6 × 50 = 300 300 × 100 = 40% ∴ Required percentage = 750 Given one n = 15 oranges Number of oranges sold in four days = 15 (n) Total oranges sold = 15 × 15 = 225 Total oranges at beginning = 225 + 25 = 250 Sum of number of Deer and Monkey = 40 + 25 = 65 Number of Peacock = 50 Required difference = 65 − 50 = 15 Number of students obtain less than 20 marks = 5 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 45 17% = ` 6800 ∴ 6800 = ` 400 ∴ 1% = 17 ∴ Expenditure on education (16%) = ` 400×16 = ` 6400 There are three subjects having books more than 50 i.e., Mathematics , Science and English. ∴ Required passed students in English 15 × 100 = = 37.5% 40 Number of questions solved by C = 14 Number of questions solved by D = 10 Total = 24 Number of questions solved by A, B and E = 4 + 8 + 8 = 20 Required difference = 24 − 20 = 4 =

 Hints and Solutions 1. Speed of car at Delhi = 120 km/h Speed of car at Goa = 160 km/h ∴ Required difference = 160 − 120 = 40 km/h 2. Speed of car at Agra = 60 km/h Speed of car at Meerut = 100 km/h Sum of speed = 60 + 100 = 160 km/h Clearly, sum of speed is equal to the speed at Goa city ( 160 = 160). 3. Production of tea in year 2001 = 20 tonne Production of tea in year 2002 = 30 tonne Total production = 50 tonne Clearly, production of year 2001 and 2002 is equal to the production of year 2003 ( 50 = 50). 4. Sale of articles in February = 4 × 3 = 12 dozen Sale of February in rupees = 12 × 150 = `1800 Sale of articles in April = 2 × 3 = 6 dozen Sale of April in rupees = 6 × 150 = `900 Total sale of February and April = 1800 + 900 = `2700 5. Pages typed by the typist on Monday = 3 × 10 = 30 pages Pages typed by typist on Thursday = 5 × 10 = 50 pages Pages typed by typist on Sunday = 1 × 10 = 10 pages Total number of typed pages = 30 + 50 + 10 = 90 pages
 
 Number of typed pages Number of days 90 = = 30 pages 3 6. Sale of a day by Ramdas = Sale of Fan + TV + CD + DVD + Iron = 30 + 60 + 45 + 15 + 75 = 225 items Q Number of days in month July = 31 days Required sale = 225 × 31 ∴ = 6975 items 7. Light music is liked by the maximum number of peoples 40%. 8. Jogging by Ayush in a day = 500 m ∴Required average =
 
 Jogging by Ayush in 15 days = 500 × 15 = 7500 m 7500 = 7.5 km 1000 [Q 1000 m = 1 km] 9. Jogging by Arun in a day = 400 m Hence, jogging by Ayush =
 
 Jogging by Adesh in a day = 600 m Total jogging by both = 1000 m Jogging by Vishal in a day = 800 m Jogging by Rinku in a day = 1000 m Total jogging by both = 1800 m Required difference = 1800 − 1000 ∴ = 800 m

 Passage 10 Among the major tasks before us, none is of greater-importance for our strength and stability than the task of building up the unity and solidarity of our people. Our country often stood like a solid rock in the face of common danger and there is a deep underlying unity which runs like a golden thread through all our seeming diversity. There have been occasions when unfortunate and disturbing divisions, some of them accompanied by violence, have appeared in our society. Political democracy and the way it has functioned in our country is surely a great achievement. Here again we owe an immeasurable debt to Shri JL Nehruji for his deep attachment to democracy as a form of government and as a way of life. There is something in our older cultural heritage too. I have particularly in view that enduring strength in Indian life which can best be described as respect for human personality and the spirit of tolerance. I have no doubt in my mind that it is only by methods of persuasion and mutual accommodation and by a constant search for areas of agreement as the basis for action, that democracy and work. It is in this spirit that I shall devote myself to the duties and responsibilities of the office I have been called upon to fill. [JNV 2017] 1.

 Passage 29 Primitive man was probably more concerned with fire as a source of warmth and as a means of cooking food than as a source of light. Before he discovered less laborious ways of making fire, he had to preserve it, and whenever he went on a journey he carried a fire-brand with him. His discovery that the fire-brand, from which the torch may very well have developed, could be used for illumination was probably incidental to the primary purpose of preserving a flame. Lamps, too, probably developed by accident. Early man may have had his first conception of a lamp while watching a twig or fibre burning in the molten fat dropped from a roasting carcass. All he had to do was to fashion a vessel to contain fat and float a lighted reed in it. Such lamps, which were made of hollowed stones or sea shells, have persisted in identical form up to quite recent times. [JNV 2008]

 Prevention is better than cure and it is recognised that the only way to get rid of malaria completely is to get rid of the mosquitoes which cause it. Malaria is always associated with damp and marshy land. This is not because the land is damp, but because stagnant water is the breeding place of the mosquito which begins its life as a larva living in the water. Malaria does not frequently occur in dry desert countries because mosquitoes cannot breed there. The only way to destroy mosquitoes is to prevent their breeding in standing water. [JNV 2007]

 Passage 33 The playground is as essential as the classroom. The student learns his lesson of the mind in the classroom and adds to his store of knowledge. But the playground trains his powers of mind and body both. Here he learns physical skill and endurance. He further learns how to remain alert and watchful; how to get an advantage over his opponent. Thus, the student gets mental and physical training in the playground together. But the greatest good derived by him is that he learns the team spirit. He is governed by no selfish or individual motives; he rather thinks of his team as a whole. This team spirit helps him to fight for noble causes in later life. [JNV 2000] 1.

 Passage 34 The large part of Arabia is desert. The Arabs, who are not in the cities, live in the desert all the year round. They live in tents that can be put up and struck down easily. They move from one place to another seeking grass and water for their sheep and goats, camels and horses. These Arabs eat ripe sweet figs and dates. They dry them too and use them as food all the year round. These Arabs have the finest horses in the world. An Arab is very proud of riding his horse and loves him almost as much as he loves his wife and children. He never puts heavy loads upon his horse. The camel is much more useful to an Arab than his beautiful horse, since the former is much larger and stronger.

 Passage 35 English is an international language. It is the language of trade and commerce all over the world. It has a rich literature and a vast store of knowledge. It has tremendously influenced our culture and regional languages. It is still needed for scientific and technical education. Higher studies in any field are not possible without the knowledge of English. Infact, English is a window on our modern world culture and civilisation. If it is properly studied, it can make Indian languages rich. It may not be the official language of India, but it has come to stay as the library language in our country—a language of research and higher education. The importance of English in India has increased during the post-Independence years and now it is viewed not as a colonial legacy but as a useful medium of communication. The study of English needs greater emphasis today than ever before, without blunting the growth of our mother tongue. [JNV 1998]

 The Earth is known as a ‘watery planet’ because it is the only planet of the solar system containing water in abundance. The presence of life on our planet is mainly due to water and air. More than two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Oceans contain about 97% of the total water available on the Earth’s surface. The fresh water found in the form of snow and ice on the ground and water in lakes and rivers accounts for the remaining 3%. Ocean water is always saline. Hence, it is not of direct use to man. It is however, important as it provides the bulk of water vapour that enters the atmosphere where it forms clouds. 1. The presence of life on our Earth is due to (1) (2) (3) (4)

 Passage 8 One of the major crises facing the country is the looming water shortage. A recent report of the UN has named India among the worst countries for poor quality of water. The report ranks 122 countries according to the quality of their water as well as their ability and communent to improve the situation. Belgium is considered the worst basically because of the quality of its ground water. Rains failed in most parts of India last year and the vast areas of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra and Odisha were in the grip of devastating drought. People without water turn desperate and violent. Villagers in Rajasthan last year attacked the Food Corporation godowns. Worse may be coming. With man refusing to control pollution (America, the world’s greatest polluter, refuses to cooperate with, other countries) the world’s getting hotter. This means that the great ice shelves (weighing billions of tonnes) of the Antarctic are collapsing. We cannot even conceptualise the dangerous consequences. 1.

 Comprehension Passage 9 In Asia and much of Third World, trees are still destroyed in the old-fashioned way: they are cut down for fuel and cropland. In Europe, there is new and potentially more deadly culprit, The Germans call it ‘Waldsterben’, the dying forest syndrome. But the disease is far more than a German phenomenon. Since, it was first observed by German scientists in the autumn of 1980, the mysterious malady has raced across Europe, blighting woods in countries as far apart as Sweden and Italy. Explanations for the epidemic range from a cyclic change in the environment to a baffling form of tree cancer. But the most convincing evidence points to air pollution. Indeed, saving the rapidly deteriorating forests of Europe will probably require a two-pronged strategy an offensive campaign that includes the breeding of pollution- immune tees and a defensive scheme that calls for reductions in toxic emissions. But both will require more money than is currently being spent on such measures, as well as total commitment to protecting the environment. 1. According to this passage, which one of the
 
 following statements is correct? (1) There is less damage in Asia than in Europe (2) More forests are dying in Germany than anywhere else in Europe (3) A cyclic change in the environment is responsible for deforestation (4) Air pollution is the main culprit of destroying European forests
 
 2. Saving the trees of European forests (1) should not be difficult because of the advances in experimental research (2 appears to be a hopeless task and therefore pointless to undertake (3) requires a much bigger budget (4) demands vigilance and punitive measures against those who cut down the trees
 
 3. The dying forest syndrome is a disease that (1) is peculiar to the forests of Asia (2) has spread rapidly over the forests of Europe (3) is confined to the forests of Germany (4) has affected forests all over me world
 
 4. The writer suggests that (1) it is no longer possible to grow trees in industrialised areas (2) pollution immune trees will absorb toxic emissions (3) all pollution-prone trees should be destroyed (4) it is not possible to grow trees that remain unaffected by pollution
 
 5. The writer’s approach toward the problem of
 
 forest devastation in one of (1) tolerance (2) indifference (3) well thought—out strategy (4) despondency

 Passage 19 Dr. S Radhakrishnan , the illustrious philosopher statesman of India, was one of the greatest sons of our motherland. He cautioned the world against the domination of Science in society. It is erroneous to claim that scientific knowledge would bring with it perpetual progress and a steady improvement in human relations. The recent period of great scientific achievements has also increased human misery in the world wars, concentration camps, atomic destruction, cold war, deadly wars in the middle East, Persian Gulf and at many other places in the world. Growth in human wisdom has not been commensurate with the increase in scientific knowledge and power. The fear of universal destruction hangs over the world. There is a feeling of disenchantment, anxiety and even despair. Science had failed to liberate man from the tyranny of his own nature. Mankind is passing through a critical period and an education of the human spirit has become essential. In order to remake society, man has to remake himself. If humanity is to suntive, man must integrate his knowledge with a social responsibility. 1. Dr. S Radhakrishnan has (1) emphasised that Science should be banished from the society (2) opposed the teaching of Science in educational institutions (3) favoured scientific thinking in life (4) counseled that preponderance of Science in life does not necessarily generate happiness

 5. Which is not the product of Science? (1) Wireless (3) Electricity
 
 (2) Aeroplanes (4) Wood
 
 Passage 20
 
 Passage 21
 
 Most of us use the products of science railways, aeroplanes, electricity, wireless and thousands of others—without thinking how did they come into existence. We take them for granted, as if we were entitled to them as a matter of right. And we are very proud of the tact that we live in an advanced age and and ate ourselves so very advanced. Now, there is no doubt that our age is a very different one from previous ages and I think it is perfectly correct to say that it is far more advanced. But that is a different thing from saying that we as individuals or groups are more advanced. It would be the height of absurdity to say that because an engine driver can run an engine and Plato or Socrates could not, the engine driver is more advanced than, or is superior to, Plato or Socrates. But it would be perfectly correct to say that the engine itself is a more advanced method of locomotion than Plato’s chariot was.

 Passage 27 To sum up the whole, we should say that the aim of the Platonic philosophy was to exalt man into a God. The aim of the Baconian Philosophy was to
 
 34
 
 Navodaya Vidyalaya (Class VI) Entrance Exam
 
 provide man with what he requires while he continues to be a man. The aim of Platonic philosophy was to raise us far above the vulgar wants. The aim of Baconian Philosophy was to supply our vulgar wants. The former aim was noble; but the latter was attainable. Plato drew a good bow; he aimed at the stars and therefore, though there was no want of strength or skill, the shot was thrown away. His arrow was indeed followed by a track of dazzling radiance; but it struck nothing. Bacon fixed his eye on a mark which was placed on Earth and hit it in the white. The Philosophy of Plato began with words and ended in words, noble words indeed, words such as were to be expected from me finest of human intellects exercising boundless dominion over the fittest of languages. 1. The above passage presents Platonic
 
 Philosophy as

In the chrysalis, the caterpillar will liquify into a soup of living cells. Then, it will reorganise into a butterfly and the metamorphosis is complete. In later parts of the chrysalis stage, you can see the forming butterfly through the chrysalis.

 Passage 36 There are two types of camels in the world. One has a single hump, and the other has two. The dromedary camel has a single hump, and has domesticated in Arabia over 4,000 years ago. They are also found in North Africa, India, Pakistan and Australia. The size of the hump varies, becoming smaller and leaning to one side during times of starvation. The lips of dromedary camels are thick to allow them to eat coarse and thorny desert plants. Their long legs keep their bodies high off the ground to avoid the baking heat of the desert’s surface. Bactrian camels have two humps, and are found in the deserts of Central Asia. They are extremely adept at withstanding wide variations in temperature-from freezing cold to blistering heat.
 
 They can survive without water for months at a time, but when water is available, they may drink up to 57 liters at once. When well fed, the humps are plump and erect. 1. What types of camel are there in the world? (1) Dromedary (3) Both (1) and (2)

 Passage 37 A woodpecker is a kind of bird. Woodpeckers are found all over the world except in the North and South poles, Australia and New Zealand. There are over 200 different kinds of woodpeckers. The two largest woodpeckers, the Imperial Woodpecker and the Ivory-billed Woodpecker are most likely extinct. Animals that are extinct are no longer found on Earth. Woodpeckers have sharp bills for drilling into wood, and short, stiff tails which help prop them up against tree trunks and branches. Woodpeckers also have very long tongues, which help them get at insects deep within trees. Woodpeckers are often heard drumming loudly on trees before they are seen. Woodpeckers can even become pests if they learn to drum on siding of a house. Woodpeckers can easily be attracted to backyard bird feeders with sunflower seeds or suet. Suet is a kind of animal fat that is very tasty to woodpeckers and other birds. 1. Why do woodpeckers have long tongues? (1) To get at insects on the ground (2) To eat seeds (3) To get at insects deep within trees (4) So that they can drum on trees

England wanted to maintain control of America, and vowed to fight the colonists. The war lasted eight long years. The Americans won many important battles such as those at Saratoga and Yorktown.

 Passage 40 At this stage of civilisation, when many nations are brought into close and vital contact for good and evil, it is essential, as never before, that their gross ignorance of one another should be diminished, that they should begin to understand a little of one another’s historical experience and resulting mentality. It is the fault of the English to expect the people of other countries to react as they do, to political and international situations. Our genuine goodwill and good intentions are often brought to nothing, because we expect other people to be like us. This would be corrected if we knew the history, not necessarily in detail but in broad outlines, of the social and political conditions which have given to each nation its present character. 1. According to the author of ‘Mentality’ of a
 
 (2) themselves (4) each others
 
 What needs to be set right is our approach to work. It is a common sight in our country of employees reporting for duty on time and at the same time doing little work. If an assessment is made of time they spent in gossiping, drinking tea, eating ‘pan’ and smoking cigarettes, it will be shocking to know that the time devoted to actual work is negligible. The problem is the standard which the leadership in administration sets for the staff. Forget the ministers because they mix politics and administration. What do top bureaucrats do? What do the below down officials do? The administration setup remains weak mainly because the employees do not have the right example to follow and they are more concerned about being in the good books of the bosses than doing work. 1. The employees in our country (1) are quite punctual but not duty conscious (2) are not punctual, but somehow manage to complete their work (3) are somewhat lazy but good natured (4) are not very highly qualified
 
 2. According to the writer, the administration in
 
 nation is mainly product of its
 
 India
 
 (1) history (2) international position (3) politics (4) present character
 
 (1) is by and large effective (2) is very strict and firm (3) is affected by red tape (4) is more or less ineffective
 
 2. The need for a greater understanding
 
 between nations (1) was always there (2) is no longer there (3) is more today than ever before (4) will always be there
 
 3. The character of a nation is the result of its (1) mentality (2) cultural heritage (3) gross ignorance (4) socio-political conditions
 
 4. According to the author his countrymen
 
 should (1) read the story of other nations (2) have a better understanding of other nations (3) not react to other actions (4) have vital contacts with other nations
 
 3. The word ‘assessment’ means (1) enquiry (3) evaluation
 
 (2) report (4) summary
 
 4. The leadership in administration (1) sets a fine example to the employees (2) is of a reasonably high standard (3) is composed of idealists (4) is of a very poor standard
 
 5. The central idea of the passage could be best
 
 expressed by the following (1) The employee outlook towards work is justified (2) The employees must change their outlook towards work (3) The employees would never change their work culture (4) The employer-employee relationship is far from healthy

 Passage 47 Having taken leave of his father at last, the young man set-off on a long journey into foreign lands. ‘‘When luck does not favour, an artist goes to a place where his name is not known.’’ He said to himself and turned in a direction which he did not know. He was footsore and hungry when at last he arrived on the bank of a turbulent river, hindering his further passage until he could cross it. Espying a boat at a nearby ferry, he went thither. There were other men too, each with his fare ready in his hand. But, the young man had not even a broken cowrie on him. ‘‘Pay the fare and only then step into the boat,’’ the boatman told him.

 1. How did the mother duck save her ducklings?
 
 One day, a mother duck and her little ducklings were on their way to a lake. The ducklings were very happy following their mother. All of a sudden the mother duck saw a fox. She was frightened and shouted, ‘‘Children, hurry to the lake. There’s a fox.” The ducklings hurried towards the lake. The mother duck wondered what to do. She began walk back and forth dragging one wing on the ground. The fox became happy. He said to himself, ‘‘It seems that she’s hurt and can’t fly! I can easily catch and eat her!’’ Then he ran towards her. The mother duck ran, leading the fox away from the lake. The fox followed her. Now, he wouldn’t be able to harm her ducklings. The mother duck looked towards her ducklings and saw that they had reached the lake. She was relieved, so she stopped and took a deep breath.

 Passage 1 Once upon a time there were six blind men. These blind men had never seen an elephant but they wanted to know what the elephant looked like. So they went near an elephant to find out. The first blind man fell against the broad side of the elephant. He immediately said, “The elephant must be like a wall.” The second blind man got hold of the elephant’s tusk. He cried out, “I’m sure the elephant is like a spear.” The third blind man happened to take the elephant’s trunk in his hand. He said confidently, “The elephant is surely like a snake”. The fourth one stretched out his hand and felt the elephant’s leg. “It’s clear”, he said, “The elephant is like a tree trunk”. The fifth by chance touched the elephant ear. “I am confident elephant is like a fan”. The sixth and the last of the blind man felt tail. “I tell you, he cried, “The elephant is like a rope.” And so these blind men argued and argued. Each one said he was right. But actually all were wrong. 61.

You have to choose the correct answer.
 
 Passage 1 I felt lonely in a classroom full of boys and girls and a teacher. The teacher walked up to me smiling. She put her hand tenderly on my shoulder and asked—‘‘What is your name?’’ ‘‘Abhayankar…’’— I whispered. ‘‘Say aloud, so I can hear it,’’ she said. I tried but I could not. My lips were dry, perhaps sealed. I could not open my mouth. Then the teacher asked me to write my name on the blackboard. I went up to the blackboard, lifted the white chalk and as I was about to write, my mind went blank. I knew my name, I knew how to write it, but standing in front of so many boys and girls and the teacher made me uncomfortable. 61. Which of the following words does not describe the narrator?

 Passage 2 It was a cold and dark night. Passing through the street, I heard a woman scream—‘‘Help! Help’’. I stopped and looked around. There was no light in most of the houses. Everyone seemed to be sleeping. It could be my imagination—I thought and continued walking homewards. Suddenly I heard the same voice again, ‘‘Please, do not kill me! Take my money … my ornaments, but leave me …!’’ So, it was not my imagination. Some woman was in distress in the house nearby. I must save her. I rushed to the door of the house and with all my strength, pushed it open. I could still hear some sobs coming from the bedroom. So I ran into his bedroom, searched but could find no woman there. The radio was on. I heard the announcer, saying, ‘‘You had just heard a radio play ‘Stranger murder’. Now, please standby for the news that follows’’. 66.

(1) To look for the murderer of some woman (2) To save the woman from being killed (3) To pick up a fight with the murderer (4) To listen to the radio play 68. ‘‘You had just heard a radio play …’’ here ‘you’ refers to

 Passage 3 India is very hot, especially in summer. It is easy to grow cotton and produce silk here. Cotton and silk can be made into thin clothes. People who live in hot countries often wear white clothes because white does not absorb heat as quickly as other colours do. Saris are also comfortable to wear because they do not cling to the body. We can often tell about the jobs of the people by looking at their clothes. Cooks usually wear white aprons so that they can see when their clothes are dirty. Policemen, firemen and soldiers have special uniforms. Students too wear uniforms to show which school they belong to. 71. If ‘cold’ is an opposite word for ‘hot’ what will be opposite for ‘summer’? (1) Rains (2) Spring (3) Winter (4) Snowfall 72. Which of the following need not wear a uniform? (1) A school student (2) A policeman (3) An army man (4) A minister 73. Cooks wear white aprons, because (1) they want to look smart (2) it helps them cook fast (3) white is a cool colour
 
 (4) they can see when it is dirty 74.

 Passage 1 A certain king once fell ill and doctors declared that only a sudden fright would restore him to health. But the king was not a man for anyone to play tricks on, except his fool. One day, when the fool was with him in his boat, he cleverly pushed the king into the water. Help had already been arranged and the king was drawn ashore and put to bed. The fright, the bath and the rest in bed cured the diseased king, but he was so angry with the fool that he turned him out of the country. The fool returned, however and the king ordered him to be put to death. Saying privately that he would only repay fright with fright, he directed the executioner not to use the axe but to let fall a single drop of water on the fool’s neck. The fool was led to the gallows. The executioner dropped a drop of water on the fool’s neck and amidst shouts and laughter the fool was asked to rise and thank the king for his kindness. But the fool never moved; he was dead–killed by his master’s joke. 61. How could the sick king be cured? (1) The fool pushed the king into the water from his boat.

 Passage 2 Prevention is better than cure, and it is recognised that the only way to get rid of malaria completely is to get rid of the mosquitoes which cause it. Malaria is always associated with damp and marshy land. This is not because the land is damp, but because stagnant water is the breeding place of the mosquito which begins its life as a larva living in the water. Malaria does not frequently occur in dry desert countries because mosquitoes cannot breed there. The only way to destroy mosquitoes is to prevent their breeding in standing water.
