7. The population of a town is 96209. If the number of men is 29642 and that of women is 29167, determine the number of children.
Solution:
Population of a town = 96209
No. of men = 29642
No. of women = 29167
Total number of men and women = 29642 + 29167 = 58809
So the number of children = Population of a town – Total number of men and women
Number of children = 96209 – 58809 = 37400
Hence, there are 37400 children.
8. The digits of 6 and 9 of the number 36490 are interchanged. Find the difference between the original number and the new number.
Solution:
It is given that
Number = 39460
Number after interchanging 6 and 9 = 36490
Difference between them = 39460 – 36490 = 2790
Therefore, the difference between the original number and new number is 2970.
9. The population of a town was 59000. In one year it was increased by 4536 due to new births. However, 9218 persons died or left the town during the year. What was the population at the end of the year?
Solution:
Population of a town = 59000
Population increase = 4536
Population decrease = 9218
So the population at the end of year = 59000 + 4536 – 9218 = 54318
Therefore, the population at the end of the year is 54318.

Solution:
The option (c) is correct answer.
We know that the successor of 999 = 999 + 1 = 1000

So the predecessor of 1001 = 1001 − 1 = 1000

It can be written as
Product of them = (Successor of 999) × (Predecessor of 1001)
By substituting the values
 Product of them = 1000 × 1000 = 1000000 = one million
6. Which one of the following whole numbers does not have a predecessor?
(a) 1                            (b) 0                              (c) 2                               (d) None of these
Solution:

(a) 101                            (b) 100                              (c) 99                               (d) 98
Solution:
The option (d) is correct answer.
We know that the smallest whole number = 0

So the greatest 2 digit whole number = 99

Whole numbers which lie between 0 and 99 are 1, 2, 3, 4,…, 97, 98.

In order to find the number of whole numbers between 0 and 99, first subtract 1 from the difference of 0 and 99.

So the number of whole numbers between 0 and 99 = (99 − 0) − 1 = 99 − 1 = 98

So we get
47 × 99 = 47 × (100 − 1)

On further calculation
47 × 99 = 47× 100 – 47 = 4700 – 47 = 4653

Hence, the value of 47 × 99 is 4653.
