## NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 2 Whole Numbers Exercise 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 + 01 Hence, it does not represent zero.

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.
Yes, if we multiply any number with zero the resultant product will be zero.
Example: 2 × 0 = 0, 5 × 0 = 0, 9 × 0 = 0 If both numbers are zero, then the result also be zero.
0 × 0 = 0
Yes, if the product of two whole numbers is zero, then both of them will be zero.

Question 3.
If the product of two whole numbers is 1, can we say that one of both of them will be 1? Justify through examples.
If only one number be 1 then the product cannot be 1.
Examples: 5 × 1 = 5, 4 × 1 = 4, 8 × 1 = 8
If both number are 1, then the product is 1.
1 × 1 = 1

Question 4.
Find using distributive property:
(a) 728 × 101
(b) 5437 × 1001
(c) 824 × 25
(d) 4275 × 125
(e) 504 × 35
(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 = 824 × (20 + 5)
= 824 × 20 + 824 × 5 = 16480 + 4120 = 20600
(d) 4275 × 125 = 4275 × (100 + 20 + 5)
= 4275 × 100 + 4275 × 20 + 4275 × 5 = 427500 + 85500 + 21375 = 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)
