Estimate the sum (4505 + 27807 + 21397) to the nearest thousand.
Answer
4505 + 27807 + 21397 = 53709
In 53709 the last three digits i.e., 709 is greater than 500.
Hence, 1 will be added to the 4th last digit and the last three digits will become zero.
After rounding to nearest thousand we will get 54000.
Find the difference between the number 279 and that obtained on reversing its digits.
Answer
The number obtained on reversing 279 = 972
Difference = 972 - 279 = 693
Thus, the difference between 279 and that obtained on reversing its digits is 693.
