Smallest number = 124
2. a) Greatest number = 9431
Smallest number = 1349
b) Greatest number = 4310
Smallest number = 1034
3. a) Greatest number = 8864
Smallest number = 4468
b) Greatest number = 9920
Smallest number = 2009
4. a) Greatest number = 9876
Smallest number = 1026
b) Greatest number = 9876

5. a) 8760, 9012, 9022, 9086, 9087
b) 1286, 5000, 8654, 8964, 9021
6. a) 56,43,289
Number name: Fifty six lakh forty three thousand two hundred eighty nine.
b) 9, 08, 76,521

8. Distance between school and student’s house = 1 km 785m = 1785m
Distance travelled in one day = 1785 x 2 = 3570 m
Distance travelled in 5 days = 3570 x 5 = 17850 m = 17 km 850m.
9. a) Rough estimate:
Rounds off to nearest hundreds
563 rounds off to 600
332 rounds off to 300
3498 rounds off to 3500
Estimated sum = 600 + 300 + 3500 = 4400
Closer estimate:
Rounds off to nearest tens
563 rounds off to 560
332 rounds off to 330
3498 rounds off to 3500
Estimated sum = 560 + 330 +3500 = 4390
b) Rough estimate:
Rounds off to nearest hundreds
109764 rounds off to 109800
65784 rounds off to 65800
Estimated difference = 109800 – 65800 = 44000
Closer estimate:
Rounds off to nearest tens
109764 rounds off to 109760
65784 rounds off to 65780
Estimated difference = 109760 – 65780 = 43980
10. 452 = CDLII
986 = CMLXXXVI
