Radhika is drawing a dot Rangoli (a beautiful pattern of lines joining dots with chalk powder). She has 9 dots in a row. How many dots will her Rangoli have for r rows? How many dots are there, if there are 8 rows? If there are 10 rows?
It is given in the question that,
Number of dots in 1 row = 9
Also,
Number of rows = r
Therefore,
Total number of dots in r rows = Number of rows × Number of dots in a row
= 9 × r
= 9r
Hence,
Number of dots in 8 rows = 8 × 9 = 72
Also,
Number of dots in 10 rows = 10 × 9 = 90
Leela is Radha’s younger sister. Leela is 4 years younger than Radha. Can you write Leela’s age in terms of Radha’s age? Take Radha’s age to be x years.

Number of laddus remaining = 5
Therefore,
Total number of laddus = Number fo laddus given away + Number of laddus remaining
= l + 5
Hence,
Total number of laddus be l + 5
Oranges are to be transferred from larger boxes into smaller boxes. When a large box is emptied, the oranges from it fill two smaller boxes and still 10 oranges in a smaller box are taken to be x, what is the number of oranges in the larger box?
Given in the question that,
Number of oranges in one small box = x
Therefore,
Number of oranges in two small boxex = 2x
Also,
Total number fo oranges left = 10
Hence,
Number of oranges in the large box = Number of oranges in two small boxes + Number fo oranges left
= 2x + 10
Therefore,
There will be 2x + 10 oranges in the large box.
Look at the following matchstick pattern of squares (see figure). The squares are not separate. Two neighbouring squares have a common matchstick. Observe the pattern and find the rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of squares.
From the above-given figures, it can be observed that,
The number of matchsticks in the above-given pattern are 4, 7, 10 and 13 respectively.
4 = 3(1) + 1
7 = 3(2) + 1
10 = 3(3) + 1
i.e., The matchstick is 1 more than the thrice of the number of squares in the pattern
Hence,
The pattern for above-given figures will be:
3n + 1
Where n is the number of squares
Figure gives a matchstick pattern of triangles. As in question 11 (a) above, find the general rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of triangles.

We can say that,
The diameter of the circle is two times the radius of the circle.
To find sum of three numbers 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways:
(a) We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or
(b) We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54.
Thus, (14 + 27) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13).
This can be done for any three numbers. This property is known as the associativity of addition of numbers. Express this property which we have already studied in the chapter on Whole Numbers, in a general way, by using variables a, b and c.

(v) Sarita’s father’s age is 5 years more than 3 times Sarita’s age. What is her father’s age?
The answers of the parts are answered below:
(i) We know that,
Sarita’s present age is y
Hence,
Sarita’sage five years from now will be = Sarita’s present age + 5
= y + 5
(ii) We know that,
Sarita’s present age is y
Hence,
Sarita’s age three years ago will be = Sarita’s present age – 3
= y – 3
(iii) We know that,
Sarita’s present age is y
Hence,
Sarita’s grandfather’s age will be = Sarita’s present age × 6
= 6y
(iv) We know that,
Grandfather’s age is 6y
Hence,
Grandmother’s age will be = Grandfather’s age – 2
= 6y – 2
(v) We know that,

Answer the following:
The length of a rectangular hall is 4 metres less than 3 times the breadth of the hall. What is the length, if the breadth is b metres?
According to the question,
We know that,
The breadth of the rectangular hall is b metres
Therefore,
Length of the rectangular hall = 3 × breadth – 4
l = (3 × b) – 4
l = 3b – 4
Hence,
The length will be (3b – 4) metres.
Answer the following:
A rectangular box has height h cm. Its length is 5 times the height and breadth is 10 cm less than the length. Express the length and the breadth of the box in terms of the height.
Here,
It is given in the question that,

l = 5h cm
Breadth of the box = 5 × height – 10
b = (5h – 10) cm
Answer the following:
Meena, Beena, and Leena are climbing the steps to the hilltop. Meena is at step s, Beena is 8 steps ahead and Leena 7 steps behind. Where are Beena and Meena? The total number of steps to the hill yop is 10 less then 4 times what Meena has reached. Express the total number of steps using s.
Here,
According to the question,
We know that,
Meena is at step s
Now,
Step at which Beena is = (Step at which Meena is) + 8
= s + 8
And,
Step at which Leena is = (Step at which Meena is) – 7
= s – 7
Hence,
Total steps = 4 × (Step at which Meena is) – 10
= 4 × s – 10
= 4s – 10
Answer the following:
A bus travels at v km per hour. It is going from Daspur to Beespur. After the bus has travelled 5 hours, Beespur is still 20 km away. What is the distance from Daspur to Beespur? Express it using v.

According to the question,
We know that,
Speed = v km/hr
Now,
We have to calculate the distance between Daspur to Beespur
So,
At first we need the distance travelled in 5 hours
Thus,
Distance traveled in five hours = 5 × v
= 5v
Hence,
The total distance between Daspur and Beespur = (dist. Travelled in 5 hours) + 20
= 5v + 20

Solve the following riddles, you may yourself construct such riddles.
Who am I?
(i) Go round a square
Counting every corner
Thrice and no more !
Add the count to me
To get exactly thirty four !
(ii) For each day of the week
Make an upcount from me
If you make no mistake
You will get twenty three !
(iii) I am a special number
Take away from me a six !
A whole cricket team
You will still be able to fix !
(iv) Tell me who I am
I shall give a pretty clue !
You will get me back
If you take me out of twenty two !
(i) From above riddle, we can conclude following:
We know that,
There are 4 corners in a square
Also,
Thrice the number of corners in the square will be 3 × 4 = 12
When 12 is added to the number than we get the result which is 34
Hence,
The number must be the difference of 34 and 12
i.e., 34 – 12 = 22
(ii) From above riddle, we can conclude following:
When the old number was up counted on Sunday then the result was 23
Also,
When the old number was up counted on Saturday then the result was 22
When the old number was up counted on Friday then the result was 21
When the old number was up counted on Thursday then the result was 20
When the old number was up counted on Wednesday then the result was 19
When the old number was up counted on Tuesday then the result was 18
When the old number was up counted on Monday then the result was 17
Therefore,
Number taken at start = 17 – 1
= 16
(iii) From above riddle, we can conclude following:
We know that,
Total players in a cricket team = 11
Therefore, according to the riddle the number is such that when 6 is subtracted from it the result is 11
Hence,
Required number = 11 + 6
= 17
(iv) From above riddle, we can conclude following:
According to the riddle the number is such that when it is subtracted from 22 then the result will be the number itself
Therefore,
The required number should be 11 which again gives 11 when it is subtracted from 22
