Complete answer key – NCERT solutions

But how much is one lakh? Observe the pattern and fill in the boxes given below.

1. The smallest 4-digit number: 1,000 
2. The largest 4-digit number: 9,999 
3. The smallest 5-digit number: 10,000 
4. The largest 5-digit number: 99,999 

Explanation: This question helps students understand how numbers increase when we move from 3-digit to 6-digit numbers. The smallest number of the next place value is always 1 more than the largest number of the previous place value.

1,00,004 

Figure it Out

1. 25,000 
2. 6,000 
3. 31,000 

Explanation: In this section, we compare numbers with one lakh and understand differences between numbers. We also estimate heights using the picture where Somu’s height helps approximate the building height.

Getting a Feel of Large Numbers

1. Approximate building height: 40 m 
Statue of Unity is taller by: 140 m 
2. Kunchikal waterfall is taller than the building by: 410 m 
3. Number of floors required: 113 floors (approx.)

Explanation: In this section, we compare numbers with one lakh and understand differences between numbers. We also estimate heights using the picture where Somu’s height helps approximate the building height.

Reading and Writing Numbers

a. Three lakh six hundred 
b. Twenty seven lakh thirty thousand 
c. Seventy lakh fifty three thousand one hundred thirty eight 
d. Five lakh four thousand eighty five 

Explanation: Here we convert numbers written in digits into words using the Indian place value system.

Write the corresponding number in the Indian place value system for each of the following:

1. 1,23,456 
2. 4,07,704 
3. 50,05,050 
4. 10,00,235 

Explanation: In this exercise, we convert number names into numbers using the Indian place value system.

Find a different way to get 5072 and write an expression for the same.

(5 × 1000) + (7 × 10) + (2 × 1) = 5072 

Explanation: Different combinations of button presses can produce the same number. This question asks for another expression for 5072.

Figure it Out

1. 
a. (8 × 1000) + (3 × 100) 
or, (5 × 1000) + (33 × 100) 

b. (56 × 1000) + (3 × 100) + (5 × 10) + (4 × 1) 
or, (46 × 1000) + (103 × 100) + (54 × 1) 

c. (66 × 1000) + (6 × 100) + (66 × 1) 
or, (6 × 10000) + (6 × 1000) + (6 × 100) + (6 × 10) + (6 × 1) 

d. (40 × 1000) + (6 × 100) + (2 × 10) + (9 × 1) 
or, (30 × 1000) + (106 × 100) +(29 × 1) 

e. (3 × 100000) + (6 × 10000) + (7 × 1000) ) + (8 × 100) + (1 × 10) + (3 × 1) 
or, (36 × 10000) + (78 × 1000) + (13 × 1) 

Creative Chitti has some questions for you —

A. Explanation: You have to make exactly 30 button presses. What is the largest 3-digit number you can make? What is the smallest 3-digit number you can make? 

993 is the largest 3-digit number that can be made using 30 button presses. 
102 is the smallest 3-digit number that can be made using 30 button presses. 

B. Explanation: 997 can be made using 25 clicks. Can you make 997 with a different number of clicks? 

997 can also be made as – 
(8 × 100) + (19 × 10) + (7 × 1) 
Number of clicks = 8 + 19 + 7 
= 34 

How can we get the numbers (a) 5072, (b) 8300, using as few button clicks as possible?

a. 5072 = (5 × 1000) + (7 × 10) + (2 × 1) 
Number of clicks = 1 

b. 8300 = (8 × 1000) + (3 × 100) 
Number of clicks = 11 

Figure it Out

1. 
a. 8300 = (8 × 1000) + (3 × 100) 
Number of clicks = 11 

b. (5 × 10000) + (6 × 1000) + (3 × 100) + (5 × 10) + (4 × 1) 
Number of clicks = 5 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 4 = 23 

c. (6 × 10000) + (6 × 1000) + (6 × 100) + (6 × 10) + (6 × 1) 
Number of clicks = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 30 

d. (4 × 10000) + (6 × 100) + (2 × 10) + (9 × 1) 
Number of clicks = 4 + 6 + 2 + 9 = 21 

e. (3 × 100000) + (6 × 10000) + (7 × 1000) + (8 × 100) + (1 × 10) + (3 × 1) 
Number of clicks = 3 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 1 + 3 = 28 

2. The smallest number of buttons click for each number is the sum of its digit.

From the information given in the table answer the following questions by approximation:

1. Most cities shown in the table have seen a significant rise in population from 2001 to 2011. 
2. Population of Pune in 2011 is 31,15,431. The population of Pune has approximately increased by 6 lakh. 
3. Bengaluru has shown maximum increase in population which is 41,24,644. 
4. Yes, they are Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Surat and Vadodara 
5. We need to multiply Patna’s population by 7.39 to get a number close to the population of Mumbai. 

Using the meaning of multiplication and division, can you explain why multiplying by 5 is the same as dividing by 2 and multiplying by 10?

10 ÷ 2 is the same as 5.
