Exercise 2.1
Question 1:- Write the next three natural numbers after 10999.
Answer 1:-
10,999 + 1 = 11,000
11,000 + 1 = 11,001
11,001 + 1 = 11,002
So, following 10999, the following three natural numbers are 11000, 11001, and 11002.
Question 2 :- Write the three whole numbers occurring just before 10001.
Answer 2 :-
10,001 – 1 = 10,000
10,000 – 1 = 9,999
9,999 – 1 = 9,998
So, the three whole numbers occuring just before 10001 are 10000, 9999 and 9998.
Question 3 :- Which is the smallest whole number?
Answer 3:
‘0’ (zero) is the smallest whole number.
Question 4 :- How many whole numbers are there between 32 and 53?
Answer 4 :-
53 – 32 – 1 = 20
From 32 to 53, there are 20 whole numbers.
So, the whole numbers between 32 and 53 are 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52.
Question 5 :- Write the successor of:-
(a) 2440701
(b) 100199
(c) 1099999
(d) 2345670
Answer 5:-
(a) Successor of 2440701 is 2440701 + 1 = 2440702
(b) Successor of 100199 is 100199 + 1 = 100200
(c) Successor of 1099999 is 1099999 + 1 = 1100000
(d) Successor of 2345670 is 2345670 + 1 = 2345671
Question 6 :- Write the predecessor of:
(a) 94
(b) 10000
(c) 208090
(d) 7654321
Answer 6 :-
(a) The predecessor of 94, 94 – 1 = 93
So, the predecessor of 94 is 93.
(b) The predecessor of 10000, 10000 – 1 = 9,999.
So, the predecessor of 10000 is 9999.
(c) The predecessor of 208090 is 208090 – 1 = 2,08,089
So, the predecessor of 208090 is 2,08,089.
(d) The predecessor of 7654321 is 7654321 – 1 = 76,54,320
So, the predecessor of 7654321 is 76,54,320.
Question 7 :- In each of the following pairs of numbers, state which whole number is on the left of the
other number on the number line? Also write them with the appropriate sign (>, <)
between them.
(a) 530, 503
(b) 370, 307
(c) 98765, 56789
(d) 9830415, 10023001
Answer 7:-
We know that the smaller number is always on the left side of the greater number on number line.
(a) 530 > 503;
So, 503 appear on left side of 530 on number line.
(b) 370 > 307;
So, 307 appear on left side of 370 on number line.
(c) 98765 > 56789;
So, 56789 appear on left side of 98765 on number line.
(d) 9830415 < 10023001;
So, 9830415 appear on left side of 10023001 on number line
