NIM Game (2 Player Game) — Page 149
How to play and who wins

TRY THIS

Q1 Can you win the game if the other player has reached the total of 6 and it is your
turn?

ANSWER

Yes. You can win for sure.

Total now = 6

You add 1 → total 7

Now the other player can only make 8 or 9

From 8 you add 2 → 10

From 9 you add 1 → 10

Either way you reach 10 first, so you win.

Why it happens: 7 is a safe number. From 7 the other player can never touch 10, but
you always can.

Page 1 of 92

Page 3

Class 4 Maths Chapter 10 Elephants, Tigers, and Leopards AglaSem · NCERT Solutions

Tip: The safe numbers in this game are 1, 4, 7. Try to say them.

Q2 Can you win the game if the other player has reached the total of 7 and it is your
turn?

ANSWER

No. Here the other player wins.

Total now = 7. You need 3 more, but you may add only 1 or 2.

If you add 1 → total 8, and the other player adds 2 → 10

If you add 2 → total 9, and the other player adds 1 → 10

Whatever you do, the other player reaches 10 first and wins.

Why it happens: 7 is a safe number. It is 3 away from 10, and 3 is too big for one
move, so the player who must move from 7 always loses.

Tip: Try to be the one who says 7. Then you are safe.

Q3 Can you win the game if the other player has reached the total of 8 and it is your
turn?

ANSWER

Yes. You win in one move.

Total now = 8

8 + 2 = 10

You add 2 and reach 10, so you win.

Why it happens: 10 is only 2 away from 8, and 2 is a move you are allowed to make.

Page 2 of 92

Page 4

Class 4 Maths Chapter 10 Elephants, Tigers, and Leopards AglaSem · NCERT Solutions

Check it yourself: From 9 you also win, because 9 + 1 = 10.

Q4 Play the game to reach other target numbers (like 10, 11, or 12) by adding 1 or 2
each time. Can you find a number in each case when you are sure that you can win?

ANSWER

Yes. Count back from the target in threes.

TARGET SAFE NUMBERS TO SAY

10 1, 4, 7

11 2, 5, 8

12 3, 6, 9

If you say a safe number, you will surely win.

Why it happens: Each round the two players together add 1 + 2 = 3, or 2 + 1 = 3. So
the safe numbers go down in steps of 3 from the target.

Try This: For target 12, say 9. Then the other player must make 10 or 11, and you
finish at 12.

The addition chart. The pink block of four is the red window frame; the blue block of nine is the blue
window frame.

Every box is made by adding the row number and the column number.

The box in row 6 and column 5

= 6 + 5 = 11

The pink corner (+) sign tells us that. The blue strip on top gives one number, the pink strip on
the left gives the other.

Why it happens: The chart is a ready-made answer sheet. Instead of adding every
time, we just look where the row and the column meet.

The addition chart. The pink block of four is the red window frame; the blue block of nine is the blue
window frame.

Here are four easy patterns.

Move one step right and the number goes up by 1.
Move one step down and the number goes up by 1.
Move one step down and one step left and the number stays the same. So the slanting
lines (↗) carry equal numbers.
The chart is the same on both sides of the main slant, because 6 + 5 and 5 + 6 are equal.

Why it happens: Going right adds 1 to the column number and going down adds 1
to the row number, so the total goes up by 1 each time.

The addition chart. The pink block of four is the red window frame; the blue block of nine is the blue

No. There is no such row and no such column.

Row 3 → 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, …

even, odd, even, odd … one after the other

Every row is a line of numbers that go up by 1. So odd and even keep taking turns.

Why it happens: Adding 1 changes an even number into an odd number and an
odd number into an even number, every single time.

Left column: 10 + 11 = 21

Right column: 11 + 12 = 23

They are the same two sums as the rows — 21 and 23.

Why it happens: In this chart 10 + 11 and 11 + 10 give the same answer, so the row
sums and the column sums must match.

The addition chart. The pink block of four is the red window frame; the blue block of nine is the blue
window frame.

One slant: 10 + 12 = 22

Other slant: 11 + 11 = 22

Both slants give the same sum, 22.

Why it happens: One slant takes 1 less and 1 more than the middle number; the
other takes the middle number twice. So both come to the same total.

Try the window on rows 2–3 and columns 8–9.

10 11

Rows: 10 + 11 = 21, 11 + 12 = 23

Columns: 10 + 11 = 21, 11 + 12 = 23

Slants: 10 + 12 = 22, 11 + 11 = 22

Now try rows 7–8 and columns 3–4.

10 11

11 12

Same three answers again: 21, 23 and 22.

Wherever you put the window, the two row sums equal the two column sums, and the two
slant sums are equal.

The addition chart. The pink block of four is the red window frame; the blue block of nine is the blue
window frame.

The blue window holds nine numbers.

7 8 9

8 9 10

9 10 11

Each row goes up by 1. Each column goes up by 1.
The slant going up to the right is 9, 9, 9 — all the same.
The two opposite corners give equal sums: 7 + 11 = 18 and 9 + 9 = 18.
Add all nine numbers: 7 + 8 + 9 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 9 + 10 + 11 = 81. And 9 × 9 = 81, so the total is
nine times the middle number.

Why it happens: The middle number 9 sits exactly in between. Every number that is
a little less has a partner that is just as much more.

Why it happens: Add the two digits first. Whatever you get, the answer is that many
elevens.

Try This: Guess before you add. For 46, the digits make 4 + 6 = 10, so the sum should
be 110. Check: 46 + 64 = 110.

Q3 List down all numbers which when added to their reverse give i) 55 ii) 88

ANSWER

First find how many elevens the sum is.

55 = 11 × 5 → the two digits must add to 5

88 = 11 × 8 → the two digits must add to 8

i) Sum 55

14, 23, 32, 41, 50

Check: 14 + 41 = 55, 23 + 32 = 55, 50 + 5 = 55.
ii) Sum 88

17, 26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71, 80

Check: 17 + 71 = 88, 44 + 44 = 88, 80 + 8 = 88.

Why it happens: The sum only depends on the two digits added together, so every
pair of digits that makes 5 works for 55.

Q4 Can we get a 3-digit sum? What is the smallest 3-digit sum that we can get?

ANSWER

Yes, we can. The smallest 3-digit sum is 110.

Page 25 of 92

Page 27

Class 4 Maths Chapter 10 Elephants, Tigers, and Leopards AglaSem · NCERT Solutions

Digits add to 9 → 11 × 9 = 99 (still 2 digits)

Digits add to 10 → 11 × 10 = 110 (3 digits)

Example: 19 + 91 = 110

Other numbers that give 110 are 28, 37, 46, 55, 64, 73, 82 and 91.

Why it happens: 99 is the biggest 2-digit answer. The very next answer in the 11
table is 110, so that is the smallest 3-digit sum.

Q1 Fill in the blanks with appropriate numbers. a) 2540, 2590, ____, ____, ____, ____

2540 2590

Six trees in a row. Two of them already carry a number.

ANSWER

2540 2590

Six trees in a row. Two of them already carry a number.

First find the jump between the two given numbers.

Page 26 of 92

Page 28

Class 4 Maths Chapter 10 Elephants, Tigers, and Leopards AglaSem · NCERT Solutions

2590 − 2540 = 50

2590 + 50 = 2640

2640 + 50 = 2690

2690 + 50 = 2740

2740 + 50 = 2790

2540 2590 2640 2690 2740 2790

Six trees in a row. Two of them already carry a number.

Why it happens: The tens digit goes up by 5 each time, and 5 tens is 50. So we skip-
count in fifties.

Q2 Fill in the blanks with appropriate numbers. b) 354, 1354, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____

354 1354

Seven gates in a row. Two of them already carry a number.

ANSWER

354 1354

Page 27 of 92

Page 29

Class 4 Maths Chapter 10 Elephants, Tigers, and Leopards AglaSem · NCERT Solutions

Seven gates in a row. Two of them already carry a number.

Find the jump first.

1354 − 354 = 1000

1354 + 1000 = 2354

2354 + 1000 = 3354

3354 + 1000 = 4354

4354 + 1000 = 5354

5354 + 1000 = 6354

354 1354 2354 3354 4354 5354 6354

Seven gates in a row. Two of them already carry a number.

Why it happens: Only the thousands digit changes — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The last three
digits stay 354 all the way.

How Many Animals? — Page 152
Adding four-digit numbers with carrying

Q1 The population of elephants in Karnataka is 6049 and in Kerala is 3054. How many
total elephants are there in these two states? Estimate the answer.

ANSWER

Estimate first. 6049 is about 6000 and 3054 is about 3000.

6000 + 3000 = about 9000 elephants

Now the exact answer.

6049 + 3054

Ones: 9 + 4 = 13 → 10 O = 1 T, write 3, carry 1 ten
Tens: 4 + 5 + 1 = 10 → 10 T = 1 H, write 0, carry 1 hundred

Q2 The highest number of leopards are found in three states. Gujarat has 1355,
Karnataka has 1131 and Madhya Pradesh has 1817. How many total leopards are

ANSWER

Estimate first. 1355 is about 1400, 1131 is about 1100, 1817 is about 1800.

1400 + 1100 + 1800 = about 4300 leopards

Now the exact answer.

1355 + 1131 + 1817

Ones: 5 + 1 + 7 = 13 → write 3, carry 1 ten

Tens: 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 10 → write 0, carry 1 hundred

More or Less? — Page 155
Finding the smaller number by subtracting

Q1 Assam has 5719 elephants. It has 3965 more elephants than Meghalaya. How many
elephants are there in Meghalaya? Estimate the answer.

ANSWER

Assam: 5719 3965

Assam’s bar is 3965 longer than Meghalaya’s bar.

Estimate first. 5719 is about 5700 and 3965 is about 4000.

5700 − 4000 = about 1700 elephants

Now the exact answer. Assam has more, so we take the extra away.

Q2 The population of leopards as per the 2022 census was 8820 in the Central India and
the Eastern Ghats. It had increased by 749 in comparison to the number of leopards
in 2018 in the same region. How many leopards were there in 2018? Estimate the
answer.

ANSWER

? 8820

The 2018 number grew by 749 to become 8820 in 2022.

Estimate first. 8820 is about 8800 and 749 is about 700.

8800 − 700 = about 8100 leopards

Now the exact answer. The number grew, so we go back by 749.

8820 − 749

Ones: 0 − 9 cannot be done → take 1 ten, 10 − 9 = 1

Tens: 1 left, 1 − 4 cannot be done → take 1 hundred, 11 − 4 = 7

Regrouping shown in the place-value frame.

8071 leopards were there in 2018.

Why it happens: 749 leopards were added between 2018 and 2022, so taking 749
off 8820 brings us back to 2018.

Check it yourself: 8071 + 749 = 8820.

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.

Page 46 of 92

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?

+253 +1579

The vehicle chart from page 158.

ANSWER

+253 +1579

Jeeps: 6304 Buses Tractors Taxis

−5247

Page 54

Class 4 Maths Chapter 10 Elephants, Tigers, and Leopards AglaSem · NCERT Solutions

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?

+253 +1579

Jeeps: 6304 Buses Tractors Taxis

Q8 c) The number of taxis is 1579 more than the number of tractors? How many taxis
are there?

+253 +1579

Jeeps: 6304 Buses Tractors Taxis

−5247
The vehicle chart from page 158.

ANSWER

+253 +1579

Jeeps: 6304 Buses Tractors Taxis

−5247
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.

−5247
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.

+253 +1579

Jeeps: 6304 Buses Tractors Taxis

+253 +1579

Jeeps: 6304 Buses: 6557 Tractors: 1310 Taxis: 2889

−5247
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.

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

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.
