Playing with Numbers Exercise 5(A) Solution :

Question no – (1) 

Solution :

(i) Let, a × b = 73

and, b × a = 37

Now, The quotient of 73 + 37 when divided by 11,

= (7 + 3)

= 10

Therefore, the quotient is 10.

(ii) Let, a × b = 73

and, b × a = 37

Now, The quotient of 73 + 37 When divided by 10 than,

= 73 + 37/7 + 3

= 11

Hence, the quotient will be 11.

Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

(i) Here, Let,

ab = 94; ba = 49

a = 9; b = 4

The quotient of (94 + 49) when divided by 11 is,

= 94 + 49/11

= 13

Thus, the quotient will be 13.

(ii) Here Let,

ab = 94; ba = 49

a = 9; b = 4

The quotient of (94 + 49) when divided by 11 is,

= 94 + 49/13

= 11

Therefore, the quotient will be 11.

Question no – (3) 

Solution : 

(i) The quotient of 73 – 37 when divided by 7 that is,

= (7 – 3)

= 4

Hence, the quotient will be 4.

(ii) The quotient of 73 – 37 when divided by 4 that is 9.

= 73 – 37/7 – 3

= 36/4

= 9

Question no – (4) 

Solution : 

Given in the question, a = b

Prof = abc = bac

abc = 100 + 10 b + c ….(i)

bac = 100 + 10 a + c ….(iv)

Subtract (iv) from (iii)

abc – bac = 0

abc = bac…(Proved)

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

(i) Let, ab = 94

ba = 49

The quotient of 94 – 49 is when divided by 9 is,

= (9 – 4)

= 5

Therefore, the quotient will be 5.

(ii) Let, ab = 94

ba = 49

The quotient of 94 – 49 when divided by 5 is,

= (94 – 49/9 – 4)

= 9

Therefore, the quotient will be 9.

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

Here, abc = 100 a + 10 b + c …..(i)

bca = 100 b + 10 c + a ….(ii)

cab = 100 c + 10 a + b …..(iii)

Adding it,

abc + bca + cab = 11 a + 111b + 111 c

= 111 ( a + b + c)

= 3 × 37 (a + b + c)

Now, 527 + 752 + 275, to check

Here, a = 5, b = 2, c = 7

527 + 752 + 275 = 3 × 37 (5 + 2 + 7)

= 3 × 37 × 14

Therefore, it Divisible by 14

Question no – (8)

Solution : 

In the given question, , c > a

Proof – cba = 100 c + 10 b + a

abc = 100 a + 10 b + c

Subtracting, (ii) from (i)

= cba – abc = 100 c + 10 b + a – 100 a – 10 b – c

= cba – abc = 99 c – 99 a

99 (c – a)…(Proved)

Playing with Numbers Exercise 5(B) Solution :

Question no – (1) 

Solution : 

Given in the question,

3 A + 25 = B 2

Now, 5 + 2 = 7

7 + 5 = 12

37 + 25 = 62

A = 7; B = 6

Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

Given, 9 8 + 4 A = C B 3

A = 5, so, 8 + 5 = 13

9 + 4 + 1 = 14

A = 5, B = 4, C = 1

98 + 45 = 143

Question no – (3) 

Solution : 

Given in the question, A 1+ 1 B = B 0

Here, B = 9 so, 9 + 1 = 10

= 9 – 2 = 7

= A

Therefore, 71 + 19 = 90

Question no – (4) 

Solution : 

Given, 2 A B + A B 1 = B 1 8

Here, 8 – 1 = 7 = B

7 + A = 11

A = 11 -7

= 4

247 + 471 = 718

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

Given, 1 2 A + 6 A B = A 0 9

Now, A + B = 9

= 2 + A = 10

= A = 8

9 – 8 = 1 = B

128 + 681 = 809

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

Given, 1 A × A = 9A

Here, A = 6

16 × 6 = 96

Question no – (7) 

Solution : 

Given, AB + 6 = BBB

Here, B = 4

6 × 4 = 24

6 × A + 2

= 4

= A = 7

74 × 6 = 444

Question no – (9) 

Solution :

Given, AB × 5 = CAB

B = 0 or 5 × 0 = 0

Now, A × 5 = A

5 × 5 = 25

C = 2

50 × 5 = 250

Question no – (10) 

Solution :

Given, 8 A 5 + 9 4 A = 1 A 3 3

Now, 5 + A = 33

A + 4 = 13

A = 13 – 4

= 8

885 + 948 = 1833

Question no – (11) 

Solution :

As per the question,

6 A B 5 + D 5 8 C = 9 3 5 1

C + 5 = 11

= C = 11 – 5

= 6

8 + B + 1 = 15

B = 15 – 9

= 6

A + 5 + 1

= 13

= A = 13 – 6

= 7

And, 6 + D + 1 = 9

= D = 9 – 7

= 2

6765 + 2586 = 9351

Playing with Numbers Exercise 5(C) Solution :
