Time: 2 ½ hours Total Marks: 80

Section A

1. Correct answer: A
On the given number line, from 8, five steps are moved towards the left.
Thus, the number line represents 8 - 5 = 3.

2. Correct answer: A
According to distributive law of multiplication over addition, we have:

12 × (45 + 30) = (12 × 45) + (12 × 30)

3. Correct answer: B
267 can be estimated as 270.
132 can be estimated as 130.
Thus the required estimated sum = 270 + 130 = 400

4. Correct answer: B
We have
10 = 2 × 5
18 = 2 × 3 × 3
HCF of 10 and 18 is 2.
Thus, 2 is the required number.

5. Correct answer: A
To convert into mixed fraction first divide numerator by denominator. The quotient
is taken as the whole number part of mixed fraction. Remainder obtained is taken as
the numerator and divisor as the denominator of the fractional part of the mixed
fraction.
5 2
Therefore, 1
3 3

6. Correct answer: D
A region in the interior of a circle enclosed by an arc on one side and a pair of radii
on the other two sides is called a sector of the circle.
 One crore can be written as 1,00,00,000.
One thousand can be written as 1000.
So, 10000 times one thousand would make one crore.

8. Correct answer: A
There are 1000 + 1 = 1001 whole numbers upto 1000.
i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ........., 1000

9. Correct answer: C
(–42) + (–35) = –42 – 35 = –77

10. Correct answer: B

Fifth multiple of 18 = 18 × 5 = 90

11. Correct answer: A

12. Correct answer: B

The English alphabet Z represents an open curve.

Section B

13. Place value of 9 at the Ten Lakhs place = 9000000

Place value of 9 at the hundreds place = 900
Difference = 9000000 – 900 = 8999100

14. Radius of a circle is a line joining the center of circle to any point on the circle. So,
the radii drawn in the given figure are OP, OQ and OR.

15. The number of vertices in the given shapes:

(i) Sphere: 0
(ii) Cylinder: 0
(iii) Cone: 1
(iv) Pyramid: 5
16. Anna is 7 feet above sea level.
She jumps 3 feet down and walks another 2 feet down. Total distance travelled
downwards = 3 + 2 = 5 feet.

17. (–13) + (–19) + (+15) + (–10)

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

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

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

19.

(i) If =31 and =11

then, = + = 31+11 = 42
(ii) If =45 and =61
then, = - = 61-45 = 16

20. Given number is 1258.

Its unit digit is 8, which is divisible by 2. So, 1258 is divisible by 2.
Sum of its digits = 1 + 2 + 5 + 8 = 16, which is not divisible by 3.
So, 1258 is not divisible by 3.
Since, 1258 is divisible by 2 but not by 3, it is not divisible by 6.

21. Starting from zero, a jump of 8 units is made to the right to reach 8. Then, 3 jumps
(each of 1 unit i.e. from 8 to 7, 7 to 6, 6 to 5) are taken to the left to reach 5.

So, we conclude that 8 – 3 = 5

22.
(i) –9 > –15
(ii) –10 < 10
(iii) 0<3
(iv) –28 < 17

23. Since the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180o.

We have, ∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180o
Or, ∠X + 60o + 50o = 180o
Or, ∠X + 110o = 180o
Or, ∠X = 180o – 110o
Hence, ∠X = 70o

24. Using distributive property of multiplication over addition, we have:

101 × 33 = (100 + 1) × 33 = 3300 + 33 = 3333
101 × 333 = (100 + 1) × 333 = 33300 + 333 = 33633
101 × 3333 = (100 + 1) × 3333 = 333300 + 3333 = 336633
101 × 33333 = (100 + 1) × 33333 = 3333300 + 33333 = 3366633

26. The given fractions are .

LCM of 3, 6, 9, 12 = (3 x 2 x 3 x 2) = 36
So, we convert each one of given fractions into an equivalent fraction having 36 as
denominator.
Now,

Clearly,

The given fractions in ascending order are .

27. Let the numbers be a and b.

Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 × 120 = 600
Therefore, the required sum =

28.
a) Lines p, q and r are intersecting lines.
b) Point at which the lines meet is called the point of intersection. The point O
represents the point of intersection.

c) Infinite number of lines can pass through the point O (point of intersection).
29.

LCM of 12 and 16 = (4 × 3 × 4) = 48
7 9
So, we convert each one of and into an equivalent fraction having 48 as
12 16
denominator.

30. Each of the 8 vertices of the cube has now been replaced by three vertices of a
triangle. So, there are now 24 vertices. The cube had 6 square faces. Now those faces
are still there but have become octagons. Additionally, there are now 8 new
triangular faces. So, there is a total of 14 faces.

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

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

32. Let the number of triangles be n.

For 1 triangle: Number of sticks = 2 × 1 + 1 = 3 sticks
For 2 triangles: Number of sticks = 2 × 2 + 1 = 5 sticks
∴ Number of sticks used = 2 × n + 1

(i) Scalene triangle. Because none of the angles are equal, none of the sides will
also be equal. Hence, it is a scalene triangle.
(ii) Right-angled triangle. Because the given angle is 90°, it is a right-angled
triangle.
(iii) Equilateral triangle. Because all the sides of the given triangle are equal, it is an
equilateral triangle.
(iv) Isosceles right-angled triangle. Since two sides are equal (XY = YZ) and one
angle is 90°, it is an isosceles right-angled triangle.
