(A) 4 (B) 40000 (C) 400000 (D) 40000000
Solution:-
(C) 400000
The product of the place values of two 2’s in 428721 is
There are two 2’s in the given number.
So, the first 2 is in the tenth place,
Then, the product is = 2 × 10
= 20
The other 2 is in place value of ten thousand.
Then, = 2 × 10000
= 20000
Therefore, the product of place values = 20 × 20000
= 400000

2. 3 × 10000 + 7 × 1000 + 9 × 100 + 0 ×10 + 4 is the same as

(A) 3794 (B) 37940 (C) 37904 (D) 379409
Solution:-
(C) 37904
3 × 10000 = 30000
The place value is 30000
7 × 1000 = 7000
The place value is 7000
9 × 100 = 900
The place value is 900
0 × 10 = 0
4=4
Therefore, the sum of all place value is = 30000 + 7000 + 900 + 0 + 4
= 37904

Solution:-
 NCERT Exemplar Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 1
Number System

(C) 50
Let us assume the number be x.
From the question it is given that, number is added to 25 = x + 25
The same number is subtracted to from 25 = 25 – x
Then, the sum of the resulting numbers is = (x + 25) + (25 - x)
= x + 25 + 25 – x
= 50 + x – x
= 50 + 0
= 50

18. Which of the following is not true?

(D) 7 × (8 + 9) = (7 × 8) + (7 × 9)
Solution:-
(C) 7 + 8 × 9 = (7 + 8) × (7 + 9)
Consider the left hand side = 7 + 8 × 9
= 7 + (8 × 9)
= 7 + 72
= 79
Now, consider the right hand side = (7 + 8) × (7 + 9)
= 15 × 16
= 240
By comparing LHS and RHS

Prime factors of 10000 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
So, 10000 = 24 × 54
Therefore, distinct prime factors are = 2 and 5
Number of distinct prime factors of the smallest 5-digit number is = 2

29. If the number 7254*98 is divisible by 22, the digit at * is

(A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 6 (D) 0
Solution:-
(C) 6
Take the alternating sum of the digits in the number, read from left to right. If that is
divisible by 11, then the original number.
7 – 2 + 5 – 4 + * - 9 + 8 = (5 + *)
For the given number 7254 * 98 to be divisible by 11,
(5 + *) must also be divisible by 11
So, 5 + * = 11
Therefore * = 11 - 5
=6

= 39

33. The greatest number which always divides the product of the predecessor and
successor of an odd natural number other than 1, is
(A) 6 (B) 4 (C) 16 (D) 8
Solution:-
(B) 4
Let us assume an odd natural number be 5.
Then, predecessor of 5 = 5 -1 = 4
Successor of 5 = 5 + 1 = 6
Then, the product of predecessor and successor = 4 × 6
= 24
24 is divided by 4 = 24/4 = 6
Therefore, the greatest number which always divides the product of the predecessor
and successor of an odd natural number other than 1, is 4.

To check the divisibility of a number by 11, the rule is, find the difference between the
sum of the digits at odd places (from the right) and the sum of the digits at even places
(from the right) of the number. If the difference is either 0 or divisible by 11, then the
number is divisible by 11.
So, 2 – 2 + 2 - 2 + 2 – 2 + 2 – 2 = 0
Therefore, 22222222 is divisible by 11.

itself.

70. There is a natural number which when added to a natural number, gives the
number itself.
Solution:-
False.
We know that, ‘0’ is not a natural number.
Therefore, there is no any natural number which when added to a natural number, gives
the number itself.

As per the standard rule, if a whole number is divided by another whole number, which
is greater than the first one, the quotient is not equal to zero.

72. Any non-zero whole number divided by itself gives the quotient 1.
Solution:-
True.
Consider any non-zero whole number i.e. 5
5 is divided by itself = 5/5 = 1

73. The product of two whole numbers need not be a whole number.
Solution:-
False.
 NCERT Exemplar Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 1
Number System

The product of two whole number is always a whole number.

Because, we know that, whole numbers are closed under multiplication.

74. A whole number divided by another whole number greater than 1 never gives the
quotient equal to the former.
Solution:-
True.
As per the standard rule, a whole number divided by another whole number greater
than 1 never gives the quotient equal to the former.

75. Every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to the number.

Solution:-
True.
As per the standard rule, every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to the
number.
2×1=2

76. The number of multiples of a given number is finite.

Solution:-
False.
The number of multiples of a given number is infinite.
Because, we know that numbers are infinite.

77. Every number is a multiple of itself.

Solution:-
True.
We know that, 1 is the identity for multiplication of whole numbers
Therefore, any number is multiplied by 1 we get the number itself.
Hence, every number is a multiple of itself.

78. Sum of two consecutive odd numbers is always divisible by 4.

Solution:-
True.
For example, 1 + 3 = 4 = 4/4 = 1

79. If a number divides three numbers exactly, it must divide their sum exactly.
Solution:-
True.
As per the standard rule, if a number divides three numbers exactly, it must divide their
sum exactly.
Let us consider one number i.e. 2, it divides 4, 6 and 8.
Then, sum of three numbers = 4 + 6 + 8
= 18 is exactly divisible by 2

80. If a number exactly divides the sum of three numbers, it must exactly divide the
numbers separately.
Solution:-
False.

81. If a number is divisible both by 2 and 3, then it is divisible by 12.

Solution:-
False.
Let us consider the number 6, it is actually divisible by 2 and 3, But 6 is not divisible by
12.

82. A number with three or more digits is divisible by 6, if the number formed by its
last two digits (i.e., ones and tens) is divisible by 6.
Solution:-
False.

83. A number with 4 or more digits is divisible by 8, if the number formed by the last
three digits is divisible by 8.
Solution:-
True.
As per the rule of divisibility test, a number with 4 or more digits is divisible by 8, if the
number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8.

84. If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, then the number itself is
divisible by 9.
Solution:-
False.
As per the rule of divisibility test, the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, then
 NCERT Exemplar Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 1
Number System

the number itself is divisible by 9.

85. All numbers which are divisible by 4 may not be divisible by 8.

Solution:-
True.
Consider the number 20, it is divisible by 4 but not divisible by 8.

86. The Highest Common Factor of two or more numbers is greater than their Lowest
Common Multiple.
Solution:-
False.
The Highest Common Factor of two or more numbers is lower than their Lowest
Common Multiple.

87. LCM of two or more numbers is divisible by their HCF.

Solution:-
True.
As per the rule, LCM of two or more numbers is divisible by their HCF.

88. LCM of two numbers is 28 and their HCF is 8.

Solution:-
False.
From the question it is given that, LCM of two numbers is 28 and their HCF is 8.
But, 28 is not exactly divide by 8.

89. LCM of two or more numbers may be one of the numbers.

Solution:-
True.
Consider the two numbers 2 and 4.
Then, LCM of 2 and 4 is 4.

90. HCF of two or more numbers may be one of the numbers.

Solution:-
True.

91. Every whole number is the successor of another whole number.

Solution:-
 NCERT Exemplar Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 1
Number System

False.
We know that, 0 is the whole number.
0 is no the successor of another whole number.

92. Sum of two whole numbers is always less than their product.
Solution:-
False.
For example:-
2+3=5
2×3=6
From the above example, we can say that sum of two whole numbers is not always less
than their product.

93. If the sum of two distinct whole numbers is odd, then their difference also must be
odd.
Solution:-
True.
Consider the two odd numbers 2 and 5.
Then, sum = 2 + 5 = 7 it is an odd number.
Now, difference = 2 – 5 = 3 it also an odd number.

94. Any two consecutive numbers are coprime.

Solution:-
True.
Co-prime number is a set of numbers or integers which have only 1 as their common
factor i.e. their highest common factor (HCF) will be 1. Co-prime numbers are also
known as relatively prime or mutually prime numbers. It is important that there should
be two numbers in order to form co-primes.

In questions 99 to 151, fill in the blanks to make the statements true.

99. (a) 10 million = _____ crore.
Solution:-
10 million = 1 crore
We know that, 1 million = 10 lakh
Then, 10 million = 10 × 10 = 100 lakh = 1,00,00,000
Therefore, 10 million = 1 crore.

(b) 10 lakh = _____ million.

Solution:-
10 lakh = 1 million.

100. (a) 1 metre = _____ millimetres.

Solution:-
1 metre = 1000millimetres
We know that, 1 metre = 100 centimetre
1 centimetre = 10 millimeter
Then, 100 cm = 10 × 100 = 1000 millimetres

(b) 1 centimetre = _____ millimetres.

Solution:-
1 centimetre = 10 millimetres.

(c) 1 kilometre = _____ millimetres.

Solution:-
1 kilometre = 10,00,000 millimetres.
 NCERT Exemplar Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 1
Number System

We know that, 1 km = 1000 meters.

1 metre = 100 centimetre
1000 metre = 1000 × 100
= 1,00,000 centimetre
1 cm = 10 millimetres
Then, 1,00,000 centimetre = 10 × 1,00,000 = 10,00,000 millimetres
