Solutions for Class : 3
MATHEMATICS 8. (C) The cost of 4 spoons = < 6.40
1. (A) A + B + B + 4 g = 24 g 6.40
The cost of 1 spoon = = < 1.6
4
A + B + B = 24 4 = 20 g
The cost of 3 forks = < 5.40
A = B + B = 20 ÷ 2 = 10 g
∴ The mass of B is 10 g ÷ 2 = 5 g 5.40
The cost of 1 fork = = < 1.8
3
2. (D) 4630 ÷ 2 = 2315
1.8-1.6 = < 0.2
4630 ÷ 5 = 926
Fork cost is < 0.2 more than a spoon
∴ The missing digit is 0.
9. (D) From above chart we can say that
3. (B) 7 × 8 = 56 ; 4 × 6 = 24 ;
numbers in decreasing order are: 9980
56 + 24 = 80 > 9890 > 9809 > 9089
4. (B) Cost of 3 oranges = 2 × cost of 3 apples P lace valu e chart
Th H T O
3 oranges cost < (36 × 2) = < 72 9 8 9 0
9 oranges cost < (72 × 3) = < 216 9 8 0 9
9 9 8 0
5. (D) 7 $ 4× 8 = $ 112 ; 9 0 8 9
∴ Answer is option (D).
× = 6 × 6 = 36
10. (B) Raj ate half of the cake ⇒ Remaining
6. (A) The cost of 3 ice-creams 1
= cake which is the cut into 8 equal

parts.
∴ The cost of an ice-cream
= < 30 ÷ 3 = < 10 1 1
∴ Each part = ÷8=

The cost of a cherry = < (28 2 × 10) =
<8 Raj gave 3 pieces to his friends.
The cost of a banana ∴ The fraction of the cake remaining with

7. (A) 3 out of 10 parts of the figure are 11. (B) Line l divides the figure into two equal
shaded. So, the fraction represented by parts.
3
the shaded part is . l

Time spent in coming back to home = 15
Shaded → 4 4 1
= min.
12. (C) Unshaded → 4 Fraction =
8 2
Total → 8 So, total time taken = 15 minutes + 2
hours 15 minutes + 15 minutes= 2 hours
13. (A) Marbles in bag P = 7862. 45 minutes
Marbles in bag Q = 3962. ∴ Time when Ali arrived back home = 9 : 00
2375 marbles were taken from P and put am + 2 hour 45 minutes
into Q. = 11:45 a.m.
∴ Marbles in P = (7862 3275) = 5487
Which is equal to quarter to 12.
Marbles in Q = (3962 + 2375)
So, more marbles in 21. (B) 3 in this figure there are 10 sides.
Q = 6337 5487 = 850
22. (B) 186 > 110 and 110 < 121
14. (C) Cost of 2 pens = 12
∴ 186 > 110 < 121
⇒ Cost of 1 pen = 6
Cost of (pen + pencil) = 10 23. (D) While comparing like fractions, the fractions
with the smallest numerator is the smallest.
⇒ Cost of 1 pencil = 10 6 = 4
Now, cost of Book + Pencil = 16 7 × 5 35 7 × 2 14
24. (C) = ; = ;
Cost of Book = 16 4 = 12 8 × 5 40 8 × 2 16
⇒
15. (C) No. of faces = 5 7×9 63
and 8 × 9 = 72

! 25. (C) Cost of 1 apple = 18 ÷ 2 = 9
Cost of 5 apples = 9× 5 = 45
#
26. (C) 6 minutes 51 seconds
= (6 × 60 + 51) seconds
16. (A) Cost of each adult ticket = 10
= 360 + 51 seconds
Cost of each child ticket = 4
= 411 seconds
∴ Total cost of tickets for 4 adults and 3
children = (4 × 10 + 3 × 4) = 52 27. (D) = 90 ÷ 2 = 45
17. (D) 320 + 320 + x = 987 30 =
987 640 = 347 m 45 30 = 15 = = 15
18. (C) 10 × < 0.01 + 12 × < 0.25 + 2 × < 0.50
28. (A) The capacity of a glass = 540 ml
= Re 1 + < 3 + Re 1 = < 5
∴ The capacity of 9 such glasses
19. (C) Distance between two flag posts
= 540 ml× 9 = 4860 ml
= ( 7 0) m = 7m
=4l860 ml
Distance between 2nd flag post and 16th
flag post 29. (B) Amount before going shopping = < 40
= (16 − 2) × 7 m = 14 × 7 m = 98 m Amount after shopping = < 13
20. (B) Time when Ali left home = 9:00 am ∴ Amount spent = < (4013)
Time spent in walking to Sams house = = < 27
15 min. = < 12 + < 15
Time spent at Sams house = 2 hour 15 ∴ Things bought are sketch pens and play
min. dough.
