CHAPTER
2 PREPARED BY: BALABHADRA SURESH

1. 1, 2, 3, 4,... counting numbers as Natural numbers.


2. Predecessor and successor: Just before number is called predecessor and just after number is
called successor.
3. If you add 1 to a number, we get its successor. If you subtract 1 from a number, you get its
predecessor.

1. Write the predecessor and successor of 19; 1997; 12000; 49; 100000.
Predecessor Number Successor
18 19 20
1996 1997 1998
11999 12000 12001
48 49 50
99999 100000 100001

2. Is there any natural number that has no predecessor?

Sol: The natural number 1 has no predecessor.

3. Is there any natural number which has no successor? Is there a last natural number?

Sol: Every natural numbers has a successor. There is no last natural number.

Whole Numbers
The natural numbers along with zero form the collection of whole numbers.
Whole numbers (W)={0,1,2,3,4,5…}

1. Are all natural numbers also whole numbers?

Sol: Yes, all natural numbers also whole numbers.

2. Are all whole numbers also natural numbers?

Sol: No, 0 is a whole number but not natural number.

3. Which is the greatest whole number?

BALABHADRA SURESH-AMALAPURAM-9866845885 Page 1


Sol: There is no greatest whole number.

In addition move towards right with 1 jump of 1 unit.

Find 4 + 5; 2 + 6; 3 + 5 and 1+6 using the number line

4+5=9
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

2+6=8
𝟎 𝟏 𝟐 𝟑 𝟒 𝟓 𝟔 𝟕 𝟖 𝟗 𝟏𝟎

3+5=8 𝟏 𝟐 𝟓
𝟎 𝟑 𝟒 𝟔 𝟕 𝟖 𝟗 𝟏𝟎

1+6=7 𝟎 𝟏 𝟐 𝟑 𝟒 𝟓 𝟔 𝟕 𝟖 𝟗 𝟏𝟎

Subtraction on the number line:

In subtraction move towards left with 1 jump of 1 unit.

Find 8 – 3; 6 – 2; 9 – 6 using the number line

8−3=5
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

6−2=4 1 2 5
0 3 4 6 7 8 9 10

9−6=3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Multiplication on the number line

Find 2 × 6; 3 × 3; 4 × 2 using the number line.

2 × 6 = 12

3×3=9

4×2=8

1. Write the next three natural numbers after 10999.

Sol: 11,000; 11,001; 11,002

2. Write the three whole numbers occurring just before 10001.

Sol: 9,998; 9,999; 10,000

3. Which is the smallest whole number?

Sol: 0(zero)

4. How many whole numbers are there between 32 and 53?

Sol: (53 − 32) − 1 = 21 − 1 = 20

5. Write the successor of


(a) 2440701 (b) 100199 (c) 1099999 (d) 2345670

Sol: (a) Successor of 2440701 is 2440701+1=2440702

(b) Successor of 100199 is 100199+1=100200

(c) Successor of 1099999 is 1099999+1=1100000

(d) Successor of 2345670 is 2345670+1=2345671

6. Write the predecessor of :


(a) 94 (b) 10000 (c) 208090 (d) 7654321

Sol: (a) predecessor of 94 is 94 − 1 = 93.

(b) Predecessor of 10000 is 10,000 − 1 = 9,999.

(c) Predecessor of 208090 is 2,08,090 − 1 = 2,08,089.

(d) Predecessor of 7654321 is 7654321 − 1 = 7654320.

7. In each of the following pairs of numbers, state which whole number is on the left of the other
number on the number line. Also write them with the appropriate sign (>, <) between them.
(a) 530, 503 (b) 370, 307 (c) 98765, 56789 (d) 9830415, 10023001
Sol: (a) 530 > 503 (b) 370 > 307 (c) 98765 > 56789 (d) 9830415<10023001
8. Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F) ?
