c) The number of taxis is 1579 more than the number of tractors? How many taxis are there? Jeeps: 6304 Buses Tractors Taxis +253 −5247 +1579 The vehicle chart from page 158.

Jeeps: 6304 Buses Tractors Taxis +253 −5247 +1579 The vehicle chart from page 158. Tractors = 1310. Taxis are 1579 more , so add. 1310 + 1579 Ones: 0 + 9 = 9 Tens: 1 + 7 = 8 Hundreds: 3 + 5 = 8 Thousands: 1 + 1 = 2 = 2889 There are 2889 taxis in the town. Jeeps: 6304 Buses: 6557 Tractors: 1310 Taxis: 2889 +253 −5247 +1579 The vehicle chart from page 158. Why it happens: Each box in the chart is worked out from the box before it, so we must do them in order.

d) Arrange the numbers of each type of vehicle from lowest to highest. Jeeps: 6304 Buses Tractors Taxis +253 −5247 +1579 The vehicle chart from page 158.

Jeeps: 6304 Buses: 6557 Tractors: 1310 Taxis: 2889 +253 −5247 +1579 The vehicle chart from page 158. The four counts are 6304, 6557, 1310 and 2889. Look at the thousands digit first: 1310 → 1 thousand 2889 → 2 thousands 6304 and 6557 → 6 thousands each For 6304 and 6557, look at the hundreds: 3 is less than 5 Order Vehicle Number Lowest Tractors 1310 2nd Taxis 2889 3rd Jeeps 6304 Highest Buses 6557 1310 < 2889 < 6304 < 6557 Why it happens: In four-digit numbers the thousands place decides first. Only if two thousands digits match do we look at the hundreds.

NCERT Solutions for Class 4th Maths Chapter 10 Visitors, juice bottles, vehicles and deposit slips — Let Us Do

Book page 157 Updated on2026-09-19

Q1.

The board in the ticket office in the Kaziranga National Park shows the following: a) How many more visitors came in December than in November?

Month	Number of visitors
December	8591
November	6415
October	?

The board at the ticket office of Kaziranga National Park.

Answer

Month	Number of visitors
December	8591
November	6415
October	?

The board at the ticket office of Kaziranga National Park.

‘How many more’ means we subtract.

8591 − 6415
Ones: 1 − 5 cannot be done → take 1 ten, 11 − 5 = 6
Tens: 8 left, 8 − 1 = 7
Hundreds: 5 − 4 = 1
Thousands: 8 − 6 = 2
= 2176

2176 more visitors came in December than in November.

Why it happens: Taking November’s count away from December’s count leaves only the extra visitors.

Check it yourself: 6415 + 2176 = 8591.

Q2.

b) The number of visitors in November is 1587 more than October. How many visitors were there in October?

Month	Number of visitors
December	8591
November	6415
October	?

The board at the ticket office of Kaziranga National Park.

Answer

Month	Number of visitors
December	8591
November	6415
October	?

The board at the ticket office of Kaziranga National Park.

November is the bigger number, so October is found by subtracting.

6415 − 1587
Ones: 5 − 7 cannot be done → take 1 ten, 15 − 7 = 8
Tens: 0 left, 0 − 8 cannot be done → take 1 hundred, 10 − 8 = 2
Hundreds: 3 left, 3 − 5 cannot be done → take 1 thousand, 13 − 5 = 8
Thousands: 5 − 1 = 4
= 4828

4828 visitors came in October.

Why it happens: October + 1587 = November, so November − 1587 takes us back to October.

Check it yourself: 4828 + 1587 = 6415.

Q3.

In a juice making factory, women make different types of juices as given below: a) The number of bottles of guava juice is 759 more than the number of bottles of pineapple juice. Find the number of bottles of guava juice.

Type of juice	Number of bottles packed in a month
Pineapple	1348
Guava
Orange
Passion Fruit	4781

The juice factory table from page 157.

Answer

Type of juice	Number of bottles packed in a month
Pineapple	1348
Guava
Orange
Passion Fruit	4781

The juice factory table from page 157.

Pineapple has 1348 bottles. Guava has 759 more, so add.

1348 + 759
Ones: 8 + 9 = 17 → write 7, carry 1 ten
Tens: 4 + 5 + 1 = 10 → write 0, carry 1 hundred
Hundreds: 3 + 7 + 1 = 11 → write 1, carry 1 thousand
Thousands: 1 + 1 = 2
= 2107

2107 bottles of guava juice are packed in a month.

Why it happens: Guava has everything pineapple has, and 759 bottles more, so we put the two amounts together.

Q4.

b) The number of bottles of orange juice is 1257 more than the number of bottles of guava juice and 1417 less than the number of bottles of passion fruit juice. How many bottles of orange juice are made in a month?

Type of juice	Number of bottles packed in a month
Pineapple	1348
Guava
Orange
Passion Fruit	4781

The juice factory table from page 157.

Answer

Type of juice	Number of bottles packed in a month
Pineapple	1348
Guava
Orange
Passion Fruit	4781

The juice factory table from page 157.

Guava has 2107 bottles (from part a). Orange has 1257 more.

2107 + 1257
Ones: 7 + 7 = 14 → write 4, carry 1 ten
Tens: 0 + 5 + 1 = 6
Hundreds: 1 + 2 = 3
Thousands: 2 + 1 = 3
= 3364

3364 bottles of orange juice are made in a month.

The book gives a second clue. Let us use it as a check.

Passion fruit − 1417 = 4781 − 1417 = 3364 ✔

Type of juice	Number of bottles packed in a month
Pineapple	1348
Guava	2107
Orange	3364
Passion Fruit	4781

The juice factory table from page 157.

Why it happens: Both clues point to the same bottle count, so we know our answer is right.

Q5.

c) Is the total number of bottles of guava juice and orange juice more or less than the number of bottles of passion fruit juice? How much more or less?

Type of juice	Number of bottles packed in a month
Pineapple	1348
Guava
Orange
Passion Fruit	4781

The juice factory table from page 157.

Answer

Type of juice	Number of bottles packed in a month
Pineapple	1348
Guava	2107
Orange	3364
Passion Fruit	4781

The juice factory table from page 157.

First add guava and orange.

2107 + 3364
Ones: 7 + 4 = 11 → write 1, carry 1 ten
Tens: 0 + 6 + 1 = 7
Hundreds: 1 + 3 = 4
Thousands: 2 + 3 = 5
= 5471

Now compare with passion fruit, which has 4781 bottles.

5471 is bigger than 4781
5471 − 4781 = 690

Guava and orange together are more — 690 bottles more than passion fruit.

Why it happens: 5471 and 4781 both have 4 digits, so we compare the thousands first. 5 thousands beat 4 thousands.

Q6.

In a small town, the following vehicles were registered in the year 2022. Find the number of vehicles as per the conditions given below. a) The number of buses is 253 more than the number of jeeps. How many buses are there in the town?

The vehicle chart from page 158.

Answer

The vehicle chart from page 158.

Jeeps = 6304. Buses are 253 more, so add.

6304 + 253
Ones: 4 + 3 = 7
Tens: 0 + 5 = 5
Hundreds: 3 + 2 = 5
Thousands: 6
= 6557

There are 6557 buses in the town.

Why it happens: The arrow on the chart points from jeeps to buses and says +253, so we add.

Q7.

b) The number of tractors is 5247 less than the number of buses. How many tractors are in the town?

The vehicle chart from page 158.

Answer

The vehicle chart from page 158.

Buses = 6557. Tractors are 5247 less, so subtract.

6557 − 5247
Ones: 7 − 7 = 0
Tens: 5 − 4 = 1
Hundreds: 5 − 2 = 3
Thousands: 6 − 5 = 1
= 1310

There are 1310 tractors in the town.

Why it happens: ‘Less than’ means we go backwards, so we take 5247 away from the bus count.

Q8.

c) The number of taxis is 1579 more than the number of tractors? How many taxis are there?

The vehicle chart from page 158.

Answer

The vehicle chart from page 158.

Tractors = 1310. Taxis are 1579 more, so add.

1310 + 1579
Ones: 0 + 9 = 9
Tens: 1 + 7 = 8
Hundreds: 3 + 5 = 8
Thousands: 1 + 1 = 2
= 2889

There are 2889 taxis in the town.

The vehicle chart from page 158.

Why it happens: Each box in the chart is worked out from the box before it, so we must do them in order.

Q9.

d) Arrange the numbers of each type of vehicle from lowest to highest.

The vehicle chart from page 158.

Answer

The vehicle chart from page 158.

The four counts are 6304, 6557, 1310 and 2889.

Look at the thousands digit first:
1310 → 1 thousand
2889 → 2 thousands
6304 and 6557 → 6 thousands each
For 6304 and 6557, look at the hundreds: 3 is less than 5

Order	Vehicle	Number
Lowest	Tractors	1310
2nd	Taxis	2889
3rd	Jeeps	6304
Highest	Buses	6557

1310 < 2889 < 6304 < 6557

Why it happens: In four-digit numbers the thousands place decides first. Only if two thousands digits match do we look at the hundreds.

Q10.

Solve a) 1459 + 476 b) 3863 + 4188 c) 5017 + 899 d) 4285 + 2132 e) 3158 + 1052 f) 7293 – 2819 g) 3105 – 1223 h) 8006 – 5567 i) 5000 – 4124 j) 9018 – 487

Answer

	Sum	How the places work out	Answer
a)	1459 + 476	9+6=15 carry 1; 5+7+1=13 carry 1; 4+4+1=9; 1	1935
b)	3863 + 4188	3+8=11 carry 1; 6+8+1=15 carry 1; 8+1+1=10 carry 1; 3+4+1=8	8051
c)	5017 + 899	7+9=16 carry 1; 1+9+1=11 carry 1; 0+8+1=9; 5	5916
d)	4285 + 2132	5+2=7; 8+3=11 carry 1; 2+1+1=4; 4+2=6	6417
e)	3158 + 1052	8+2=10 carry 1; 5+5+1=11 carry 1; 1+0+1=2; 3+1=4	4210
f)	7293 − 2819	13−9=4; 8−1=7; 11−8=3 after borrowing; 6−2=4	4474
g)	3105 − 1223	5−3=2; 10−2=8 after borrowing; 10−2=8; 2−1=1	1882
h)	8006 − 5567	16−7=9; 9−6=3; 9−5=4; 7−5=2	2439
i)	5000 − 4124	10−4=6; 9−2=7; 9−1=8; 4−4=0	876
j)	9018 − 487	8−7=1; 11−8=3; 9−4=5; 8	8531

Why it happens: We always start from the ones place. If a column is too small to subtract, we borrow one bundle from the next place on the left.

Check it yourself: Add your subtraction answer back. For (i), 876 + 4124 = 5000.

Q11.

Multiply the number of notes by the value of each note.

50 × 2 = 100
10 × 14 = 140
5 × 1 = 5
2 × 0 = 0
1 × 0 = 0

Now add all the amounts.

1500 + 300 + 100 + 140 + 5 = 2045 ✔

Count the notes and coins: 3 + 3 + 2 + 14 + 1 + 0 + 0 = 23.

50 × 1 = 50
10 × 2 = 20
5 × 1 = 5
2 × 1 = 2
1 × 1 = 1
3500 + 50 + 20 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 3578
