Chapter 2: Whole Numbers

Exercise 2.1

Q1. Write the next three natural numbers after 10999.

Answer.

10,999 + 1 = 11,000

11,000 + 1 = 11,001

11,001 + 1 = 11,002

Q2. Write the three whole numbers occurring just before 10001.

Answer.

10,001 – 1 = 10,000

10,000 – 1 = 9,999

9,999 – 1 = 9,998

Q3. Which is the smallest whole number?

Answer. ‘0’ (zero) is the smallest whole number.

Q4. How many whole numbers are there between 32 and 53?

Answer. 53 – 32 – 1 = 20

There are 20 whole numbers between 32 and 53.

Q5. Write the successor of:

(a) 2440701

(b) 100199

(c) 1099999

(d) 2345670

Answer.

(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

Q6. Write the predecessor of:

(a) 94

(b) 10000

(c) 208090

(d) 7654321

Answer.

(a) The predecessor of 94 is 94 – 1 = 93

(b) The predecessor of 10000 is 10000 – 1 = 9999

(c) The predecessor of 208090 is 208090 – 1 = 208089

(d) The predecessor of 7654321 is 7654321 – 1 = 7654320

Q7. 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.

(a) Since 530 > 503

So 503 appear on left side of 530 on number line.

(b) Since 370 > 307

So 307 appear on left side of 370 on number line.

(c) Since 98765 > 56789

So 56789 appear on left side of 98765 on number line.

(d) Since 9830415 < 10023001

So 9830415 appear on left side of 10023001 on number line.

Q8. Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F):

(a) Zero is the smallest natural number.

(b) 400 is the predecessor of 399.

(c) Zero is the smallest whole number.
