c. 7645, 7670, 7695, 7720, 7745, 7770, 7795, 7820  

How many animals?

1. Number of elephants in Karnataka = 6049  
  Number of elephants in Kerala = 3054  
  Total elephants = 6049 + 3054  
  = 6000 + 3000 + 49 + 54  
  = 9000 + 103  
  = 9103  
  There are 9103 elephants in these two states.  

2. Number of leopards in Gujarat = 1355  
  Number of leopards in Karnataka = 1131  
  Number of leopards in Madhya Pradesh = 1817  
  Total leopards = 1355 + 1131 + 1817  
  = 1355 + 1131 = 2486  
  = 2486 + 1817 = 4303  
  There are 4303 leopards in these three states.  

3. Maharashtra has 444 tigers  
  Madhya Pradesh has 341 more tigers than Maharashtra → 785  
  Uttarakhand has 116 more tigers than Maharashtra → 560  

  a) Madhya Pradesh = 785  
  b) Uttarakhand = 560  
  c) Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand = 1345  
  d) Total across three states = 1789  

More or less?

1. Number of elephants in Assam = 5719  
  Assam has 3965 more elephants than Meghalaya  
  Number of elephants in Meghalaya = 5719 − 3965  
  = 5719 − 3000 = 2719  
  = 2719 − 900 = 1819  
  = 1819 − 60 = 1759  
  = 1759 − 5 = 1754  
  There are 1754 elephants in Meghalaya.  

2. Number of leopards in 2022 = 8820  
  Increase from 2018 = 749  
  Number of leopards in 2018 = 8820 − 749  
  = 8820 − 700 = 8120  
  = 8120 − 40 = 8080  
  = 8080 − 9 = 8071  
  There were 8071 leopards in 2018.
