Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1

The sum of place value of two 3s in the number 73423 is:

  1. 76423

  2. 73426

  3. 3003

  4. none of these

Answer

In the number 73423 :

The place value of 3 in the thousands place = 3000

The place value of 3 in the ones place = 3

Sum of the place values = 3000 + 3 = 3003

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

Question 2

53729 is greater than 53972:

  1. true

  2. false

  3. none of these

Answer

Comparing 53729 and 53972, the first two digits (5 and 3) are the same.

Comparing the next digit, 7 < 9.

So, 53729 < 53972.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

Question 3

The difference between the largest and the smallest 3-digit numbers is:

  1. 10,000

  2. 899

  3. 1,099

  4. none of these

Answer

The largest 3-digit number = 999

The smallest 3-digit number = 100

Required difference = 999 - 100 = 899

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

Question 4

The number of two digit numbers from 40 to 70 is:

  1. 30

  2. 31

  3. 29

  4. none of these

Answer

The two digit numbers from 40 to 70 (both included) are 40, 41, 42, ..., 70.

Required count = 70 - 40 + 1 = 31

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

Question 5

If A = 83, B = 12 and C = 17, the value of A - B + C is:

  1. 54

  2. 112

  3. 88

  4. none of these

Answer

A - B + C

= 83 - 12 + 17

= 71 + 17

= 88

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

Question 6

3,294 + 1,320 after rounding off to the nearest 10 is:

  1. 4,430

  2. 4,420

  3. 4,426

  4. none of these

Answer

3,294 after rounding off to the nearest ten = 3,290

1,320 after rounding off to the nearest ten = 1,320

Required sum = 3,290 + 1,320 = 4,610

Since 4,610 is not among the given options,

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.

Question 7

The difference between 652 and 4,038 after rounding off each given number to the nearest hundred is:

  1. 3,300

  2. 3,400

  3. 3,390

  4. 3,350

Answer

652 after rounding off to the nearest hundred = 700

4,038 after rounding off to the nearest hundred = 4,000

Required difference = 4,000 - 700 = 3,300

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

Question 8

2,228 rounded off to the nearest hundred minus 228 to the nearest ten is:

  1. 1,790

  2. 1,970

  3. 2,170

  4. 2,220

Answer

2,228 after rounding off to the nearest hundred = 2,200

228 after rounding off to the nearest ten = 230

Required difference = 2,200 - 230 = 1,970

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

Question 9

Sum of digits 3 and 8 used in the numbers 5,03,489 is:

  1. 3,800

  2. 3,030

  3. 11

  4. none of these

Answer

The digits referred to are 3 and 8.

Sum of the digits = 3 + 8 = 11

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

Question 10

80 is multiplied with 23 instead of 32; the result of multiplication differs by:

  1. 80 × (23 - 32)

  2. 720

  3. 80 × 32 - 23

  4. none of these

Answer

Correct product = 80 × 32 = 2,560

Product obtained = 80 × 23 = 1,840

Difference = 2,560 - 1,840 = 720

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
