Karnataka State Syllabus Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers Ex 2.3
Question 1.
 Which of the following will not represent zero:
 a) 1 + 0
 b) 0 × 0
 c) \(\frac{0}{2}\)
 d) \(\frac{10-10}{2}\)
 a) 1 + 0 = 1 It does not represent zero
 b) 0 × 0 = 0 It represent zero
 c) \(\frac{0}{2}=0\) It represents zero
 d) \(\frac{10-10}{2}=\frac{0}{2}=0\) It represent zero
 Solution:
 a) 1 + 0 = 1
Question 2.
 If the product of two whole numbers is zero, can we say that one or both of them will be zero ? Justify through examples.
 Solution:
 If the product of 2 whole numbers is zero, then one of them is definitely zero,
 For example, 0 × 2 =0 and 17 × 0 = 0
 It the product of 2 whole numbers is zero them both of them may be zero 0 × 0 = 0
 However, 2 × 3 = 6
 (Since number to be multiplied are not equal to zero, the result of the product will also be non-zero.

Question 3.
 If the product of two whole numbers is 1, can we say that one or both of them will be 1? Justify through examples?
 Solution:
 If the product of 2 numbers is, then both the numbers have to be equal to 1
 For example ,1 × 1 = 1 However, 1 × 6 = 6
 Clearly, the product of two whole numbers will be 1 in the situation when both numbers to be multiplied are 1.
Question 4.
 Find using distributive property:
 a) 728 × 101
 b) 5437 × 1001
 c) 824 × 25
 d) 4275 × 125
 e) 504 × 35
 Solution:
 a) 728 × 101 = 728 × (100+1)
 = 728 × 100 + 728 + 1
 = 72800 + 728 = 73528
b) 5437 × 1001 = 5437 × (1000 + 1)
 = 5437 × 1000 + 5437 × 1
 = 5437000 + 5437 = 5442437
c) 824 × 25 = (800 + 024) × 25
 = (800 + 25 – 1) × 25
 = 800 × 25 + 25 × 25 – 1 × 25 = 20000 + 625 – 25
 = 20000 + 600 = 20600

d) 4275 × 125
 = (4000 + 200 + 100 – 25 ) × 125 = 4000 × 125 + 200 × 125 + 100 + 125 – 25 × 125
 = 500000 + 25000 + 12500 – 3125
 = 534375
e) 504 × 35 = ( 500 + 4) × 35
 = 500 × 35 + 4 × 35
 = 17500 + 140 = 17640

Question 5.
 Study the pattern :
 1 × 8 + 1 = 9
 12 × 8 + 2 = 98
 123 × 8 + 3 = 987
 1234 × 8 + 4 = 9876
 12345 × 8 + 5 = 98765
 Write the next two steps, can you say how the pattern works?
 (Hint: 12345 = 11111 + 1111 +111 +11 +1).
 Solution
 123456 × 8 + 6 = 987648 + 6 = 987654
 1234567 × 8 + 7 = 9876536 + 7 = 9876543
 Yes, the pattern works.
 As 123456= 111111 + 11111 + 1111 + 111 + 11 + 1.
 123456 × 8 = ( 111111 + 11111 + 1111 + 111 + 11 + 1) × 8
 = 111111 × 8 + 11111 × 8 + 1111 × 8 + 111 × 8 + 11 × 8 + 1 × 8
 = 888888 + 88888 + 8888 +888 + 88 + 8 = 987648
 = 123456 × 8 + 6 = 987648 + 6 = 987654
