Sample Paper 2 – Solution
Time: 2 ½ hours Total Marks: 80

Section A

1. Correct answer: B
Arrange the numbers in place-value chart:
Cr TL L T Th Th H T O
4 7 8 9 6 3 0 4
4 7 8 9 6 3 4 0

Clearly both numbers have 8 digits.

At crores, ten lakhs, lakhs, ten thousands, thousands and hundeds place both have
the same digits i.e. 4, 7, 8, 9, 6, 3 respectively.

But at tens place, first number has 0 and second number has 4.
Clearly, 0 < 4
Hence
47896304 < 47896340

2. Correct answer: B
To add 0 and 4 on number line, move 4 steps to the right of 0.

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

4. Correct answer: A
Since,

Therefore, 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
5. Correct answer: D
13 + (12 – 6 × 3) = 13 + (12 – 18) = 13 – 6 = 7

6. Correct answer: B
NO and PQ can be extended indefinitely on both sides, so they are lines. On extending,
it can be seen that they would meet at a point. Hence, they are intersecting lines.

7. Correct answer: B
The number just before 1000000 is one less than 1000000.
The required number = 1000000 – 1 = 999999.

8. Correct answer: B
On a number line, –110 lies next to –111 on the right.
Therefore, the successor of –111 is –110.

9. Correct answer: A
The given fraction is

Dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, we get

Thus,
is equivalent to .

10. Correct answer: D

The numbers 138 and 432 are divisible by both 2 and 3 and hence by 6.
The number 653 is neither divisible by 3 nor by 2 and hence not by 6.
Now, consider the number 531.
Since, the sum of the digits of the number 531 is divisible by 3, so 531 is divisible by 3.
But it is not an even number, so it is not divisible by 2.
Thus, 531 is divisible by 3 but not by 6.

11. Correct answer: B

12. Correct answer: C

Every quadrilateral has four pairs of adjacent angles.
Example: For the quadrilateral ABCD, the pairs of adjacent angles are
(i)  A,  B (ii)  B,  C (iii)  C,  D (iv)  D,  A.
 Section B

13.
T Cr Cr T L L T Th Th H T O
(i) 7 0 7 0 7 5
(ii) 5 3 6 1 8 4 9 3

i. Seven lakh seven thousand seventy five.

ii. Five crore thirty-six lakh eighteen thousand four hundred ninety three.

14.

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

15.
i. Going 6 m to the West
ii. A withdrawal of Rs 100
iii. 10 km below sea level
iv. Spending Rs 500

16. Population of the village = 13295

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

17.

Prime factorisation of 455 is 5 × 7 × 13

Therefore, the dimensions of the cuboid are 5 cm, 7 cm, 13 cm.
18. The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal.
Therefore, LM = NO

19. 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96 are the required numbers.

20. Number of circles in step 1 = 3 = 1 × 2 + 1

Number of circles in step 2 = 5 = 2 × 2 + 1
Thus, we can observe that the number of circles is obtained by multiplying the step
number by 2 and then adding 1.
Therefore, number of circles in the 100th step = (100 × 2) + 1 = 201

21.

20570 = 2 × 5 × 11 × 11 × 17

22. 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.

23. (–13) + (–19) + (+15) + (–10)

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

24. 21397 can be estimated as 21000

27807 can be estimated as 28000
42305 can be estimated as 42000
On adding, we get 21000 + 28000 + 42000 = 91000
 Section C
25. C stands for 100
D stands for 500
V stands for 5
I stands for 1
X stands for 10
M stands for 1000
In ascending order, the numbers can be arranged as
1 < 5 < 10 < 100 < 500 < 1000
Thus, the given roman numerals can be arranged in ascending order as
I, V, X, C, D, M

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

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 720
Hence, they will meet after = 2 rounds.

27. The given fractions are .

LCM of 2, 3, 6, 9 = (2 x 3 x 3) = 18
So, we convert each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 18 as the
denominator.
Thus, we have:

Hence, the like fractions are

28. Temperature in the morning = –14oF
Drop in temperature is written as –7oF.
Temperature at present = -14oF + (–7oF)
= –14oF – 7oF
= –21oF

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

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

30.
a) ABCDE is a pentagon.
b) There are 5 pairs of adjacent sides as (i) AB, BC (ii) BC, CD (iii) CD, ED (iv) ED, EA
(v) EA, AB

31. The angles are as shown below:

(i) Acute angles KOL; JOK; NOM
(ii) Obtuse angles NOK; MOJ; MOL
(iii) Straight angles - NOL; MOK

32.

The prime factorization of 33,660 is 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 11 × 17.

The difference between 17 and 2 is 15.
 Section D

33. Number of slices of Jenny's pizza = 8

Number of slices Jenny ate = 3
3
Fraction of pizza Jenny ate =
8
Number of slices of Danny's pizza = 4
Number of slices Danny ate = 3
3
Fraction of pizza Danny ate =
4
3 3
We convert each one of and into an equivalent fraction having 8 as denominator.
8 4

Therefore, Danny ate more pizza.

34.
(i) (74 × 126) – (74 × 32) + (74 × 16)
= 74 × (126 – 32 + 16)
= 74 × 110
= 8140

(ii) (1000 + 8) × 721

= 1000 × 721 + 8 × 721
= 721000 + 5768
= 726768
