Ex 13.1 Class 7 Maths Question 4.
Identify the greater number, wherever possible, in each of the following?
(i) 43 or 34
(ii) 53 or 35
(iii) 28 or 82
(iv) 1002 or 2100
(v) 210 or 102
Solution:
(i) 43 or 34
43 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64,
34 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81
Since 81 > 64
∴ 34 is greater than 43.

(ii) 53 or 35
53 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
35 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 243
Since 243 > 125
∴ 35 is greater than 53.

(iii) 28 or 82
28 =2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 256
82 = 8 × 8 = 64
Since 256 > 64
∴ 28 is greater than 28.

(iv) 1002 or 2100
1002 = 100 × 100 = 10000
2100 = 2 × 2 × 2 × … 100 times
Here 2 × 2 × 2 ×2 × 2 × 2 × 2 ×2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 214 = 16384
Since 16384 > 10,000
∴ 2100 is greater than 1002.

(v) 210 or 102
210 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 1024
102 = 10 × 10 = 100
Since 1024 > 100
∴ 210 is greater than 102.

(iv) 3 × 44
(v) 0 × 102
(vi) 52 × 33
(vii) 24 × 32
(viii) 32 × 104
Solution:
(i) 2 × 103 = 2 × 10 × 10 × 10 = = 2000
(ii) 72 × 22 = = 7 × 7 × 2 × 2 = 196
(iii) 23 × 5 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 40
(iv) 3 × 44 = 3 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 768
(v) 0 × 102 = 0 × 10 × 10 = = 0
(vi) 52 × 33 = 5 × 5 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 675
(vii) 24 × 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 144
(viii) 32 × 104 = 3 × 3 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 90000

Ex 13.1 Class 7 Maths Question 7.
Simplify:
(i) (-4)3
(ii) (-3) × (-2)3
(iii) (-3)2 × (-5)2
(iv) (-2)3 × (-10)3
Solution:
(i) (-4)2 = (-4) × (-4) × (-4) = -64 [∵ (-a)odd number = -aodd number]
(ii) (-3) × (-2)3 = (-3) × (-2) × (-2) × (-2)
= (-3) × (-8) = 24
(iii) (-3)2 × (-5)2 = [(-3) × (-5)]2
= 152 = 225 [∵ am × bm = (ab)m)
(iv) (-2)3 × (-10)3 = [(-2) × (-10)]3
= 202 = 8000 [∵ am × bm = (ab)m]

Ex 13.1 Class 7 Maths Question 8.
Compare the following:
(i) 2.7 × 1012; 1.5 × 108
(ii) 4 × 1014; 3 × 1014
Solution:
(i) 2.7 × 1012; 1.5 × 108
Here, 1012 > 108
∴ 2.7 × 1012> 1.5 × 108
(ii) 4 × 1014; 3 × 1017
Here, 1017 > 1014
∴ 4 × 1014 < 3 × 1017
