Ans.
3. Magic Squares
____Do you remember magic triangles? Cone now, let’s make some magic squares.
Q. Fill this square using all the numbers from 46 to 54.
Ans. In this magic square, the sum of each of the row of numbers (across down and diagonally) is always the same. We have to complete the magic squares, remembering that the numbers in each line are equal to 150.
Clearly:
In 3 rd row: The required number= 150-52-47=150-99=51
In 3 rd column: The required number =150-49-47=150-96=54
In 2 nd row: The required number = 150-46-54= 150-100=50
In 2 nd column: The required number= 150-50-52= 150-102=188
In 1 st row: The required number= 150-18-49=150-97= 53
Therefore, the complete magic square is
Q. Fill this square suing all the numbers from 21 to 29.
Rule: The total of each side is 75.
Ans. Let us fix 26 on the top most left hand side box.
Taking the diagonal of the square, we have
26+25=51 and 75-51=24
Therefore, put 24 at the end of this diagonal.
Fix 22 on the top most-right side box.
Taking the diagonal in which 22 lies, we have
22+25=47 and 75-47=28
Therefore, put 28 at the end of this diagonal.
Clearly,
In 1 st row: The required number =75-(26+22) =75-48=27
In 1 st column: The required number = 75-(26+28) =75-54=21
In 2 nd row: The required number =75- (21+25) =75-46=29
In 2 nd column: The required number =75-(28+24) =75-52=27
Therefore, the complete magic square is as shown below:
3. Fill in the blank spaces in the same way.
(a) 14+…..+……=34+24+20
(b) ……+ 42+ ……=65+…. +80
(c) 200 + 300 + ….. = ….. + 400 + …….
(d) ….. + ….. + ….. = ….. + ….. + …….
Ans. (a) 14 + 20 + 34 = 34 + 14 +20
(b) 80 + 42 + 65 = 65 + 42 + 80
(c) 200 + 300 + 400 = 300 + 400 + 200
(d) 34 + 29 +47 = 47 + 34 +29
4. Now you try and change these numbers into special numbers:
(a) 28 (b) 132 (c) 273
Ans. (a)

5. Choose any 3
3 box from a calendar and find the total in the same way. Play this game with your family.
Ans.Let us mark a 3
3 box (9 dates) on the calendar and see some magic.
Take the smallest number: 2
Add 8 to it: +8
10
Multiply it by 9
9
Total 90
6. Take any number. Now multiply it by 2, 3, …… at every step. Also add 3 to it at each step. Look at the difference in the answer. Is it the same at every step?
12
2 + 3 = 27
12
3 + 3 = 39
12
4 + 3 = 51
12
5 + 3 = 63
Ans. Filling in the blank boxes, we have
12
6 + 3 = 75
12
7 + 3 = 87
12
8 + 3 = 99

7. Look at the numbers below. Look for the pattern. Can you take it forward?
(9 – 1) ÷ 8 = 1
(98 – 2) ÷ 8 = 12
(987 – 3) ÷ 8 = 123
(9876 – 4) ÷ 8 = ____
(98765 – 5) ÷ 8 = ____
( ____–__ ) ÷ 8 = ____
( ____–__ ) ÷ 8 = ____
Ans. Yes, the given pattern can be taken forward as under:
(9 – 1) ÷ 8 = 1
(98 – 2) ÷ 8 = 12
(987 – 3) ÷ 8 = 123
(9876 – 4) ÷ 8 = 1234
(98765 – 5) ÷ 8 = 12345
(987654 – 6) ÷ 8 = 123456
(9876543 – 7) ÷8 = 1234567

How far can you go on?
Ans. Let us complete it.
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 +9 = 25 = 5
5
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = 36 = 6

Can you guess their secret numbers?
(a) It is larger than half of 100.
Ans. (a) It is larger than half of 100 means > 50.
(b) It is more than 6 tens and less than 7 tens.
Ans. (b) It is more than 6 tens and less than 7 tens it lies between 60 and 70.
(c) The tens digit is one more than he one’s digit.
Ans. (c) The tens digit is one more than one’s digit is 6-5 =5.
(d) Together the digits have a sum of 11.

12. (a) Ask your friend-Write down his age. Add 5 to it. Multiply the sum by 2. Subtract 10 from it. Next divide it by 2. What do you get?
Ans.(a) Age: 7
Add 5 to it: 7 + 5 =12
Multiply the sum by 2= 12
2 =24
Subtract 10 from it = 24 -10 =14
Divide it by 2 =14/2= 7
Ans. (b) Take a number as 5(say)
Double it 5
2 = 10
Multiply by 5 = 10
5 = 50
Divide your answer by 10 = 50 ÷ 10 = 5
Thus, we got the supposed answer.
