Playing with Numbers - Exercise 16.1
Top Block 1
Question :1.
Answer :
On putting A = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and so on and we get, 7 + 5 = 12 in which ones place is 2.
∴A = 7
And putting 2 and carry over 1, we get
B = 6
Hence A = 7 and B = 6
Question :2.
Answer :
On putting A = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and so on and we get,8 + 5 = 13 in which ones place is 3.
∴ A = 5
And putting 3 and carry over 1, we get
B = 4 and C = 1
Hence A = 5, B = 4 and C = 1
Question :3.
Answer :
On putting A = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and so on and we get, A x A = 6 x 6 = 36 in which ones place is 6.
∴ A = 6
Hence A = 6
Question :4.
Mddle block 1
Answer :
Here, we observe that B = 5
so that 7 + 5 = 12.
Putting 2 at ones place and carry over 1 and A = 2, we get
2 + 3 + 1 = 6
Hence A = 2 and B = 5
Question :5.
Answer :
Here on putting B = 0,
we get 0 x 3 = 0.
And A = 5, then 5 x 3 = 15
⇒ A = 5 and C = 1
Hence A = 5, B = 0 and C = 1
Question :6.
Answer :
On putting B = 0,
we get 0 , 5 = 0 and A = 5, then 5 x 5 = 25
A = 5, C = 2
Hence A = 5, B = 0 and C = 2
Question :7.
Answer :
Here product of B and 6 must be same as ones place digit as B
.
6 x 1 = 6, 6 x 2 = 12, 6 x 3 = 18,6 x 4 = 24
On putting B = 4, we get the ones digit 4 and remaining two B’s value should be 44.
∴ For 6 x 7 = 42 + 2 = 44
Hence A = 7 and B = 4
Question :8.
Answer :
On putting B = 9,
we get 9 + 1 = 10
Putting 0 at ones place and carry over 1, we get
For A = 7 ⇒ 7 + 1 + 1 = 9
Hence A = 7 and B = 9
Question :9.
Answer :
On putting B = 7,
7 + 1 = 8
Now A = 4, then 4 + 7 = 11
Putting 1 at tens place and carry over 1, we get
2 + 4 + 1 = 7
Hence A = 4 and B = 7
Question :10.
Answer :
Putting A = 8 and B = 1,
we get8 + 1 = 9
Now again we add 2 + 8 = 10
Tens place digit is ‘0’ and carry over 1.
Now 1 + 6 + 1 = 8 = A
Hence A = 8 and B = 1
