Section A Answers (Q1–10, 2 marks each)

Q1. Digit in thousands place of 73,418

• Place values: 7 (ten thousands), 3 (thousands), 4 (hundreds), 1 (tens), 8 (ones).
• Answer: 3
• Teaching note: Count from right: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands. The 3 is in the thousands place.
• Marks: 2 (1 for identifying position, 1 for correct digit)

Q2. Digit 6 in 56,209

• 5 (ten thousands), 6 (thousands), 2 (hundreds), 0 (tens), 9 (ones).
• The 6 is in the thousands place → stands for 6,000.
• Answer: 6,000
• Common mistake: writing "6" or "thousands" instead of its value.
• Marks: 2

Q3. Eighty-nine thousand and twenty-seven in numerals

• 89,000 + 27 = 89,027.
• Answer: 89,027
• Marks: 2

Q4. Round 42,736 to nearest hundred

• Hundreds digit = 7, next digit (tens) = 3 (<5) → keep 7, replace rest with 0.
• Answer: 42,700
• Marks: 2

Q5. Round 18,452 to nearest thousand

• Thousands digit = 8, next digit (hundreds) = 4 (<5) → keep 8.
• Answer: 18,000
• Marks: 2

Q6. Rounded to nearest ten = 5,430

• Original must be from 5,425 to 5,434. Only 5,435? No, 5,435 rounds to 5,440. 5,424→5,420. 5,436→5,440. 5,444→5,440. None? Check: 5,430 itself rounds to 5,430. Among options, none exactly fit; but 5,435 is closest over. Actually valid original: 5,425–5,434. Option A 5,424 rounds to 5,420 (no). B 5,435 rounds to 5,440 (no). C 5,436 no. D 5,444 no. Correction: question intends possible original; if 5,430 given as rounded, 5,425 to 5,434 inclusive. Since none listed, assume B 5,435 is typo; use B as intended within 5,425–5,434 boundary? We state: correct choice would be a number 5,425–5,434; based on options, none strictly correct, but if forced, B is closest. For key: B (intended).
