Playing with Number Exercise 5A – Selina Concise Mathematics Class 8 ICSE Solutions

Question 1.
Write the quotient when the sum of 73 and 37 is divided by
(i) 11
(ii) 10
Solution:

Question 2.
Write the quotient when the sum of 94 and 49 is divided by
(i) 11
(ii) 13
Solution:


Question 3.
Find the quotient when 73 – 37 is divided by
(i) 9
(ii) 4
Solution:

Question 4.
Find the quotient when 94 – 49 is divided by
(i) 9
(ii) 5
Solution:

Question 5.
Show that 527 + 752 + 275 is exactly divisible by 14.
Solution:
Property :
abc = 100a + 106 + c ………(i)
bca = 1006 + 10c + a ……..(ii)
and cab = 100c + 10a + b ……….(iii)

Adding, (i), (ii) and (iii), we get abc + bca + cab = 111a + 111b + 111c = 111(a + b + c) = 3 x 37(a + b + c)

Now, let us try this method on

527 + 752 + 275 to check is it exactly divisible by 14
Here, a = 5, 6 = 2, c = 7
527 + 752 + 275 = 3 x 37(5 + 2 + 7) = 3 x 37 x 14
Hence, it shows that 527 + 752 + 275 is exactly divisible by 14

Question 6.
If a = 6, show that abc = bac.
Solution:
Given : a = 6
To show : abc = bac
Proof: abc = 100a + 106 + c …….(i)
(By using property 3)
bac = 1006 + 10a + c —(ii)
(By using property 3)
Since, a = 6
Substitute the value of a = 6 in equation (i) and (ii), we get
abc = 1006 + 106 + c ………(iii)
bac = 1006 + 106 + c ………(iv)
Subtracting (iv) from (iii) abc – bac = 0
abc = bac
Hence proved.

Question 7.
If a > c; show that abc – cba = 99(a – c).
Solution:
Given, a > c
To show : abc – cba = 99(a – c)
Proof: abc = 100a + 10b + c ……….(i)
(By using property 3)
cba = 100c + 10b + a ………..(ii)
(By using property 3)
Subtracting, equation (ii) from (i), we get
abc – cba = 100a + c – 100c – a
abc – cba = 99a – 99c
abc – cba = 99(a – c)
Hence proved.

Question 8.
If c > a; show that cba – abc = 99(c – a).
Solution:
Given : c > a
To show : cba – abc = 99(c – a)
Proof:
cba = 100c + 106 + a ……….(i)
(By using property 3)
abc = 100a + 106 + c ………(ii)
(By using property 3)
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
cba – abc= 100c+ 106 + a- 100a- 106-c
=> cba – abc = 99c – 99a
=> cba – abc = 99(c – a)
Hence proved.

Question 9.
If a = c, show that cba – abc = 0.
Solution:
Given : a = c
To show : cba – abc = 0
Proof:
cba = 100c + 106 + a …………(i)
(By using property 3)
abc = 100a + 106 + c …………(ii)
(By using property 3)
Since, a = c,
Substitute the value of a = c in equation (i) and (ii), we get
cba = 100c + 10b + c ……….(iii)
abc = 100c + 10b + c …………(iv)
Subtracting (iv) from (iii), we get
cba – abc – 100c + 106 + c – 100c – 106 – c
=> cba – abc = 0
=> cba = abc
Hence proved.

Question 10.
Show that 954 – 459 is exactly divisible by 99.
Solution:
To show : 954 – 459 is exactly divisible by 3 99, where a = 9, b = 5, c = 4
abc = 100a + 10b + c
=> 954 = 100 x 9 + 10 x 5 + 4
=> 954 = 900 + 50 + 4 ………(i)
and 459 = 100 x 4+ 10 x 5 + 9
=> 459 = 400 + 50 + 9 ……..(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
954 – 459 = 900 + 50 + 4 – 400 – 50 – 9
=> 954 – 459 = 500 – 5
=> 954 – 459 = 495
=> 954 – 459 = 99 x 5
Hence, 954 – 459 is exactly divisible by 99
Hence proved.
