*    Identifying Tens in a Number   Hereis a number. Inis at tens place. Second digit from right is the digit at tens place. For example, Inthe 2nd digit from right isand hence, it is the digit at tens place. In this case it is also saidhas tens. Inthe 2nd digit from right. isand this is the reason it will be called tens place digit in. This is also said thathastens. Now we can say that has one tens. has two tens. has three tens. This rule goes the same for every two or more digit numbers.              How many tens are there in 20? (a) It has 2 tens                                 (b) It has 5 tens (c) It has 3 tens   (d) It has 1 ten     Answer: (a) Explanation Inthe 2nd digit from right is. Therefore,is at tens place or it can be said thathastens.        How many tens are there in 34? (a) 4                                                       (b) 3 (c) 5                                                       (d) 2     Answer: (b) Explanation Inthe 2nd digit from right isand hence, it is at tens place.              
  • The digit 0 to 9 was invented in India.
  • 0 to 9 is the base of all the numbers.    
     
  • digit from right is at the ones place in a number.
  • digit from right is at the tens place in a number.  

Identifying Ones in a Number       In any number, first number from right is called ones and second number from right is called tens. For example, Infirst digit from right is. Thus the digit at one's place is. It is also said thathas ones. Similarly inthe first digit from right is. Thus the digit at one's place isand it is said hasones.     Now We Can Say:   hasones. hasones. hasones. This method goes the same for every number.               18 hasones. (a) 4                                                       (b) 8 (c) 5                                                       (d) 7     Answer: (b) Explanation Inthe first digit from right is.          Find out the number at ones place in. (a) 7                                                       (b) 2      (c) 8                                                       (d) 9     Answer: (a) Explanation Thedigit from right inisand therefore, it is the digit at ones place.  

* Numbers and Their Name       Let us look at the following patterns:      
Number Counting
Number Name One Two Three Four Five
  Let us look at the number counting and their appropriate name as given below:                                                                    Fill the blank box with one of the following options:  
One Two more...
*   Counting in Twenties       Look at the following: One twenty           = 1 twenty = Two twenties         = 2 twenties = Three twenties      = 3 twenties = Five twenties         = 5 twenties = Twelve twenties     = 12 twenties =   Now, it is clear that One twenty is one fold of Two twenties is twofold of Three twenties is three fold of Five twenties is fivefold of Twelve twenties is twelve fold of   Trick: While counting in twenties, just double the number of times the twenty to be counted and put it in the left side, the word twenty/twenties written in the right side will be replaced by a single zero (0).           (A) Here, we double the two that becomesand put it in the left while the word twenties written in the right get replaced by zero (0).   (B) Here, we double the five that becomesand put it in the left while the word twenties written in the right side get replaced by zero (0). Clearly counting in 20's goes as: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 ..........and so on.                               Four twenties (a) 140                                                  (b) 80 (c) 40                                                     (d) 60     Answer: (b)   Explanation 4 twenties is four fold of 20 = 80. It is clear from the following diagram:     Option (A) is incorrect because it is clear from the following diagram that 140 is equal to seven twenties:   Option (C) is incorrect because it is clear from the following diagram that 40 is equal to two twenties:     Option (D) is incorrect because it is clear from the following diagram that 60 is equal to three twenties:        Counting in twenties is given below. Fill the blank box with suitable number.

*  Counting in Tens       Look at the following: One ten       = 1 ten     = Two tens      = 2 tens    = Three tens   = 3 tens    = Ten tens       = 10 tens  = Twelve tens  = 12 tens  =   Now, it is clear that, One ten is one fold of Two tens is twofold of Three tens is three fold of Ten tens is tenfold of Twelve tens is twelve fold of   Trick: Just put a single zero (0) in place of ten     From the above given explanation, it is clear that while counting in tens, put number left side and a single zero (0) in the right side.             (A)                    (B)   Now, it is clear that counting in 10's goes as: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 ...................... so on.                  Five tens = ? (a) 40                                     (b) 50                                    (c) 60   (d) 80     Answer: (b)   Explanation Option (B) is correct because it is clear from the following diagram: Therefore, option (b) is correct and rest of the options is incorrect.         Option: (A) is incorrect as= four tens, it is clear from the following diagram:         Option: (C) is incorrect because it is equal totens or Six tens which is clear from the following diagram:         Option (D) is incorrect because it is equal to eight tens which is clear from the following diagram:            In figure (i) there are 10 balls inside a box and in figure (ii) there are also 10 balls inside another box. What will be the answer if balls in both the boxes are counted together?         (a) Four tens (b) Five tens (c) Three tens more...

*    What Comes before     In forth counting, smaller number always comes before greater number.         Forth Counting   Here, comes just before comes just before comes just before& comes just before   But, Numbers coming beforeare Numbers coming beforeare Numbers coming beforeare                        Forth Counting Here, comes just before comes just before comes just before comes just before comes just before   But, Numbers coming beforeare Numbers coming beforeare Numbers coming beforeare Numbers coming beforeare In back counting greater number always comes before smaller number.                                 Back Counting Here, comes just before comes just before comes just before comes just before comes just before comes just before   But in Back Counting, Numbers coming beforeare Numbers coming beforeare Numbers coming beforeare Numbers coming beforeareand Numbers coming beforeare              What comes just before 19 in a forth counting from more...
