Q.3. In a “magic square”, the sum of the numbers in each
row, in each column and along the diagonals is the same.
Is this a magic square?
4 9 2 15

3 5 7 15
Along second row : + + =
11 11 11 11
8 1 6 15
Along third row : + + =
11 11 11 11
4 3 8 15
Along first column : + + =
11 11 11 11
9 5 1 15
Along second column : + + =
11 11 11 11
2 7 6 15
Along third column : + + =
11 11 11 11
4 5 6 15
∴ Along the one diagonal : + + =
11 11 11 11
2 5 8 15
∴ Along the other diagonal : + + =
11 11 11 11
Hence, we can say that this is a magic square.

Ans. Perimeter of a rectangular sheet of paper
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l + b), ⎡ 25 32 ⎤

⎢ Here, l = , b =

Q.5. Find the perimeters of (i) Δ ABE (ii) the rectangle BCDE
in this figure. Whose perimeter is greater?
Ans. (i) Perimeter of Δ ABE
= AB + BE + EA
5 3 3
= cm + 2 cm + 3 cm
2 4 5
5 11 18
= cm + cm + cm
2 4 5
50 + 55 + 72
= cm
20
177 17
= cm = 8 cm

(ii) Perimeter of Rectangle BCDE
= 2(l + b)
⎛ 3 7 ⎞ ⎛ 11 7 ⎞
= 2 ⎜ 2 cm + cm⎟ = 2 ⎜ cm + cm⎟
⎝ 4 6 ⎠ ⎝4 6 ⎠
⎛ 33 + 14 ⎞ 2 × 47 47

Hence, Perimeter of ΔABE is greater.

Q.6. Salil wants to put a picture in a frame. The picture is
3
7 cm wide. To fit in the frame the picture cannot be
5
3
more than 7 cm wide. How much should the picture
10
be trimmed?
3 38
Ans. Width of the Picture = 7 cm = cm (given)
5 5
3 73
Width of the frame = 7 cm = cm (given)
10 10
∴ Part which is to be trimmed
38 73
= cm – cm
5 10
∵ L.C.M. of 5 and 10 is 10
38 × 2 73

eaten by her brother Somu. How much part of the apple
did Somu eat? Who had the larger share? By how
much?
Ans. Let Number of an apples = 1
©

3 5−3 2
So, Remaining apple = 1 – = =
5 5 5
2 3 2
⇒ So, Somu ate = part of apple. On comparing >
5 5 5
∴ Ritu ate larger part
3 2 3− 2 1
Now, Ritu ate – = = of apple

3
Vaibhav finished colouring the same picture in hour.
4
Who worked longer? By what fraction was it longer?
7
Ans. Michael finished colouring a picture = hour
12
3
Vaibhav finished colouring the same picture = hour
4
∵ L.C.M. of 4 and 12 is 12.
7 7 ×1 7
∴ = = ,

So place value of 2 is Thousandths

Q.7. Dinesh went from place A to place B and
B
from there to place C. A is 7.5 km from A
B and B is 12. 7 km from C. Ayub went
from place A to place D and from there to C
place C. D is 9.3 km from A and C is 11.8 km D
from D. Who travelled more and by how much?
Ans. (i) The distance travelled by Dinesh
= 7.5 km + 12.7 km = 20.2 km
The distance travelled by Ayub
= 9.3 km + 11.8 km = 21.1 km
So, 21.1 km > 20.2 km
⇒ 21.1 km – 20.2 km = 0.9 km
Hence, Ayub travelled 0.9 km more than Dinesh.
Q.8. Shyama bought 5 kg 300 g apples and 3 kg 250 g
mangoes. Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g oranges and
4 kg 150 g bananas. Who bought more fruits?
Ans. Total weight of Shyama’s fruits = 5.300 kg
+ 3.250 kg
8.550 kg
Total weight of Sarala’s fruits = 4.800 kg
+ 4.150 kg
= 8.950 kg
⇒ 8.950 > 8.550
So, 8.950 kg – 8.550 kg = 0.400 kg
Hence, Sarala bought 400 g more fruits.
Q.9. How much less is 28 km than 42.6 km?

Ans. 42.6 km
– 28.0 km
14.6 km
