WHOLE NUMBERS class 6 maths NCERT Solutions 

EXERCISE 2.1

Std 6 maths textbook chapter 2 Whole Numbers problem 1 exercise 2.1

Problem 1

1. Write the next three natural numbers after 10999.

Solution:

10,999

10,999 + 1=11,000

11,000 +1 = 11,001

11,001 + 1 = 11,002

Therefore, the next three natural numbers after 10,999 are 11,000, 11,001, 11,002.

Problem 2

Std 6 maths textbook chapter 2 Whole Numbers problem 2 exercise 2.1

2. Write the three whole numbers occurring just before 10001.

Solution:

10.001

10,001 – 1 = 10,000

10,000 – 1 =9,999

9,999 – 1 = 9,998

Therefore, the three whole numbers occurring just before are 10,000, 9,999, 9,998.

Problem 1

1. Find the sum by suitable rearrangement:

a. 837 + 208 + 363

b. 1962 + 453 + 1538 + 647

Solutions :

837 + 208 + 363

= 837 + 363 + 208

= (837 + 363) + 208

= 1200 + 208 = 1,400

b. 1962 + 453 + 1538 + 647

= 1962 + 1538 + 453+ 647

= (1962 + 1538) +( 453 + 647)

= 3,500 + 1,100 = 4,600

= 297 × 20 = 5,940

b. 54279 × 92 + 8 × 54279

= 54279 × ( 92 + 8 )

= 54,279 × 100 = 54,27,900

c. 81265 ×169 – 81265 × 69

= 81265 × ( 169 – 69 )

= 81265 × 100 = 81,26,500

d. 3845 × 5 × 782 + 769 × 25 × 218

= 3845 × 5 × 782 + 769 × 5 × 5 × 218

= 73,800 + 2,214 = 76,014

b. 854 × 102

= 854 × ( 100 + 2 )

= 854 × 100 + 854 × 2

= 85,400 + 1,708 = 87,108

c. 258 × 1008

= 258 × (1,000 + 8 )

= 258 × 1,000 + 258 × 8

= 2,58,000 + 2064 = 2,60,064

d. 1,005 × 168

= ( 1,000 + 5 ) × 168

= 1,000 × 168 + 5 × 168

= 1,68,000 + 840 = 1,68,840

Problem 5

5. A taxi driver filled his car petrol tank with 40 liters of petrol on Monday. The next day , he filled the tank with 50 liters of the petrol costs Rs. 44 per liters, how many did he spend in all on petrol?

Solution :

The petrol filled on Monday = 40 liters

The petrol filled on the next day = 50 liters

The total petrol filled on both the day = 40 + 50 = 90 liters

The cost petrol for 1 liter = Rs. 44

The cost of petrol for 90 liters = 44 × Rs.90 = Rs.3960

Therefore,the taxi driver spent Rs.3960 on petrol.

Problem 6

6. A vendor supplies 32 liters of milk to a hotel in the morning and 68 liters of milk in the evening. If the milk costs Rs 15 per liter,how much money is due to the vendor per day ?

Solution :

The supply of milk in morning to a hotel = 32 liters

The supply of milk in evening to the hotel = 68 liters

The total supply of milk per day = 32 + 68 = 100 liters

The cost of milk for 1 litre = Rs.15

The cost of milk for 100 litres = 15 × 100 = Rs.1500

Therefore, Rs.1500 is due to the vendor per day.

EXERCISE 2.3 (Eliminated for 2023 – 2024)

Problem 1

1. Which of the following will not represent zero:

a. 1 + 0

b. 0 × 0

c. 0/2

d. 10 × 0/2

Solution :

a.( 1 + 0 = 1 )

Problem 2

2. If the product of two whole numbers is zero, can we say that one or both of them will be zero ? Justify through example.

Solution :

Yes.

If we multiply any number with zero, the product will be zero.

Example : 1 × 0 = 0, 3 × 0 = 0

If both numbers are zero, the product also be zero. Example : 0 × 0 = 0

Problem 3

3. If the product of two whole numbers is 1, can we say that one or both of them will be 1 ? justify through examples.

Solution :

If we multiply any number with 1 the product can not be 1.

Example : 3 × 1 = 3, 5 × 1 = 5

If both numbers are 1, then the product is 1. Example : 1 × 1 = 1

Problem 4

4. Find using distributive property :

a. 728 × 101

b. 5437 × 1001

c. 824 × 25

d. 4275 × 125

Solutions :

a. 728 × 101

= 728 × ( 100 + 1 )

= 728 × 100 + 728 × 1

= 72,800 + 728 = 73,528

b. 5437 × 1001

= 5437 × ( 1000 + 1 )

= 5437 × 1000 + 5437 × 1

= 54,37,000 + 5437 = 54,42,437

c. 824 × 25

= 824 × 25 × 4/4

= 824 × 100 /4

= 82400/4 = 20,600

d. 4275 × 125

= 4275 × 125 × 8/8

= 4275 × 1000/8

= 42,75,000/8 = 5,34,375

e. 504 × 35

= 504 × 35 × 2/2

= 504 × 70 / 2

= 35280 /2 = 17,640

Problem 5

5. Study the pattern :

1 × 8 + 1 = 9

12 × 8 +2 = 98

123 × 8 +3 = 987

1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876

12345 × 8 +5 = 98765

Write the two new steps. Can you say the pattern works ?

( Hint : 12345 = 11111 + 1111 + 111 + 11 + 1 ).

Solution :

1 × 8 + 1 = 9

12 × 8 +2 = 98

123 × 8 +3 = 987

1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876

12345 × 8 +5 = 98765

123456 × 8 +6 = 987654

1234567 × 8 + 7 = 9876543
