Q1In the number 58647, what is the difference between the place value of 8 and the face value of 6?
Place value depends on the position of the digit, while face value is the digit itself. In 58647, the digit 8 is in the thousands place, so its place value is 8 × 1000 = 8000. The face value of 6 is simply 6, not 60. The required difference is 8000 − 6 = 7994. Therefore, the correct answer is 7994.
Q2In the number 724638, by how much is the place value of 7 greater than the place value of 4?
Place value depends on the position of a digit in the number. In 724638, 7 is in the lakh place, so its place value is 700000. The digit 4 is in the thousand place, so its place value is 4000. The question asks how much greater the first value is, so subtract the smaller place value from the larger one: 700000 − 4000 = 696000. Hence the required difference is 696000.
Q3In the number 47x5, the digit x is to be replaced by a single digit so that the number is divisible by 15. Consider the statements: I. x can be 2. II. x can be 5. III. x can be 8. How many of these statements are correct?
A number is divisible by 15 only when it is divisible by both 3 and 5. The number 47x5 already ends in 5, so it is divisible by 5 for every digit x. For divisibility by 3, the digit sum must be a multiple of 3: 4 + 7 + x + 5 = 16 + x. If x = 2, 16 + 2 = 18; if x = 5, 21; if x = 8, 24. All three are divisible by 3, so all three statements are correct.
Q4A two-digit number is such that the product of its digits is 12. If 36 is added to the given number, then the digits of the given number interchange their places. The given number is equal to:
Let the number be 10a + b, where a and b are its tens and units digits. The product condition gives ab = 12. Adding 36 reverses the digits, so 10a + b + 36 = 10b + a. This gives 9(b - a) = 36, hence b - a = 4. The digit pair with product 12 and units digit 4 more than the tens digit is 2 and 6. So the number is 26. The numbers 43, 34, and 62 fail the reversal-after-adding-36 condition.
Q5Which of the following fractions has a terminating decimal expansion?
A rational number has a terminating decimal expansion when, after reducing the fraction to lowest terms, the denominator has only the prime factors 2 and 5. For 3/40, the fraction is already in lowest terms and 40 = 2^3 × 5. Hence its decimal expansion terminates. For 7/30, 11/45 and 13/63, the denominators contain prime factors such as 3 or 7, so they do not give terminating decimals.
