Solution:
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Knowing Our Numbers InText Questions img-16
Now, we consider the following 5 numbers:
(i) 90000
(ii) 27000
(iii) 36900
(iv) 36009
(v) 30069
Let us read and expand them:
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Knowing Our Numbers InText Questions img-17

Note :
1. The greatest 1-digit number 9 and 9 + 1 = lo, the smallest 2-digit number.

2. The greatest 2-digit number = 99 and 99 + 1 = 100, the smallest 3-digit number.

3. The greatest 3-digit number = 999 and 999 + 1 1000, the smallest 4-digit number.

4. The greatest 4-digit number = 9999 and 9999 + 1 10000, the smallest 5-digit number.

5. Thus we conclude that:
[The greatest I-digit number] + 1 the smallest 2-digit number.
[The greatest 2-digit number] + 1 = the smallest 3-digit number.
[The greatest 3-digit number] + 1 = the smallest 4-digit number.
[The greatest 4-digit number] + 1 = the smallest 5-digit number.

6. The greatest 5 digit number = 99999 and 99999 + 1 = 100000. 100000 is the smallest 6-digit number and its number name is one lakh.
Also 100000 = 100 x 1000. i.e. one lakh = 100 thousands.

7. The smallest 7-digit number = 1000000 ten lakh.
The smallest 8-digit number 10000000 = one crore.
The smallest 9-digit number 100000000 = ten crore.

8. 1 hundred = 10 tens
1 thousand = 10 hundreds = 100 tens
1 lakh = 100 thousands 1000 hundreds
1 crore = 100 lakhs = 10000 thousands

Question 2.
Complete the following pattern:
9 + 1 = 10
99 + 1 = 100
999 + 1 = ……………
9,999 + 1 = ……………
99,999+1 = ……………
9,991999 + 1 = ……………
99,99,999 + 1 = 1,00,00,000
Solution:
9 + 1 = 10
99+1=100
999+1 =1,000
9,999 + 1 = 10,000
99,999 + 1 = 1,00,000
9,99,999 + 1 = 10,00,000

1. What is 10 – 1 = ?
2. What is 100 – 1 = ?
3. What is 10,000 – 1 = ?
4. What is 1,00,000 – 1 = ?
5. What is 1,00,00,000 – 1 = ?
Hint: Use the above pattern.
Solution:
Using the pattern, we have:
10 – 1 = 9
loo – 1 = 99
1,000 – 1 = 999
10,000 – 1 = 9,999
1,00,000 – 1 = 99,999
10,00,000 – 1 = 9,99,999
1,00,00,000 – 1 = 99,99,999
Using this pattern, we can say:
1. 10 – 1 = 9
2. 100 – 1 = 99
3. 10,000 – 1 = 9,999
4. 1 ,00,000 – 1 = 99,999
5. 1,00,00,000 – 1 = 99,99,999.

Question 2.
Starting from the greatest 6-digit number write the previous five numbers in descending order
Solution:
The greatest 6-digit number is 999999
1st previous number = 999999 – 1 = 999998
2nd previous number = 999999 – 2 999.997
3rd previous number = 999999 – 3 = 999996
4th previous number = 999999 – 4 = 999995
5th previous number = 999999 – 5 = 999994
Writing these numbers in descending order, we
have: 999998, 999997, 999996, 999995, 999994.

Question 3.
Starting from the smallest 8-digit number write the next five numbers in ascending order and read them.
Solution:
The smallest 8-digit number = 10000000
1st next number is: 10000000 + 1 = 10000001
2nd next number is: 10000000 +2 = 10000002
3rd next number is: 10000000 + 3 = 10000003
4th next number is: 10000000 +4 = 10000004
5th next number is: 10000000 + 5 = 10000005
Writing these numbers in ascending order, we
have: 10000001, 10000002, 10000003, 10000004, 10000005.
Reading these numbers, we have:

There are ten-lakh milligrams in 1 kilogram.

Question 2.
A box contains 2,00,000 medicine tablets each weighing 20 mg. What is the total weight of all the tablets in the box in grams and in kilograms?
Solution:
Number of tablets = 2,00,000
Weight of one tablet = 20 mg
āˆ“ Total weight of all tablets
= 20 x 200000 mg
= 4000000 mg
Since 1 kg 1000 g and 1 g 1000 mg
4000000 mg = \(\frac { 4000000 }{ 1000 } \)g = 4000 g
Thus, the total weight of all the tablets in grams
= 4000g.
Also, 4000000 mg = \(\frac { 4000000 }{ 1000×1000 } \) = 4 kg
Thus, the total weight of all the tablets in
kilograms = 4 kg

GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Knowing Our Numbers InText Questions img-20
(i) Find the total distance covered by the bus from A to D.
(ii) Find the total distance covered by the bus from D to G.
(iii) Find the total distance covered by the bus, If it starts from A and returns back to A.
(iv) Can you find the difference of distances from C to D and D to E?
(y) Find out the time taken by the bus to reach
(a) A to B
(b) C to D
(c) E to G
(d) Total journey
Solution:
(i) Distance covered by the bus for going from A to D
4170 km + 3410 km + 2160 km
= [4170 + 3410 + 2160] km = 9740 km

(ii) Total distance covered by the bus for going from D to G
= 8140 km + 4830 km + 2550 km
= [8140 + 4830 + 2550] km = 15520 km

(iii) Total distance covered by the bus for going round from A to A
= [Distance between A and D] + [Distance between D and G] + [Distance between G and A]
= [9740 km] + [15520 km] + [1290 km]
= [9740 + 15520 + 1290] km = 26550 km

(iv) [Distance between D and E] – [Distance between C and D]
= [8140 km] – [2160 km]
= [8140 – 2160] km = 5980 km
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Knowing Our Numbers InText Questions img-21
And speed of the bus is 60 km/hour.
(a) Time taken by the bus to reach from A to B
= \(\frac { 4170km }{ 60km/hour } \) = \(\frac { 4170 }{ 60 } \) hour = 69 \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) hour

(b) Time taken by the bus to reach from C to D
= \(\frac { 2160 }{ 60 } \) hours = 36 hours

(c) Time taken by the bus to reach from E to G
\(\frac { [4830km+2550 km] }{ 60 km/hour } \) = \(\frac { 7380km }{ 60 km/hour } \) = \(\frac { 7380 }{ 60 } \)
= 442 \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) hours

(d) Total time taken lƝy the bus for the total journey
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Knowing Our Numbers InText Questions img-22
\(\frac { 26550km }{ 60 km/hour } \) = \(\frac { 26550 }{ 60 } \)hour
= 44 \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) hours

GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Knowing Our Numbers InText Questions img-23
The sales during the last year
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Knowing Our Numbers InText Questions img-24
(a) can you find the total weight of apples and oranges Raman sold last year?
Weight of apples = ………………. kg
Weight of oranges = ………………. kg
Therefore, total weight = ………………. kg
+ ………………. kg = ………………. kg
Answer – The total weight of oranges and
apples = ………………. kg.

(b) Can you find the total money Raman got by selling apples?

(c) Can you find total money Ramati got by selling apples and oranges together?

(d) Make a table showing how much money Raman received from selling each item.
Arrange the entries of amount of money received in descending order.
Find the item which brought him the highest amount.
How much is this amount?
Solution:
(a) Quantity of oranges and apples sold by Raman last year:
Weight of apples = 2457 kg
Weight of oranges = 3004 kg
Therefore, total weight = 2457 kg + 3004 kg
= 5461 kg
Answer:
The total weight of oranges and apples = 5461 kg.

(b) Selling price of 1 kg of apples = ā‚¹ 40
Weight of apples sold = 2457 kg
Total money Rarnan got by selling apples = ā‚¹ 2457 x 40 = ā‚¹ 98,280

(c) Selling price of 1 kg of oranges = ā‚¹ 30
Weight of oranges sold = 3004 kg
Total money Raman got by selling oranges = ā‚¹ 3004 x 30 = ā‚¹ 90,120
Total money Raman got by selling apples and oranges together
= ā‚¹ 98,280 + ā‚¹ 90.120 = ā‚¹ 1,88,400

(d) Table showing money received from selling each item
GSEB Solutions Class 6 Maths Chapter 1 Knowing Our Numbers InText Questions img-25
Arranging the entries of amount of money received in descending order, we have:
253670; 240012; 160040; 98120; 90120; 68280; 38530
Obviously, the highest amount of money is received against the item ā€˜tooth brushesā€.
This highest amount of money is 2,53,670.
