2. The saplings are planted at a distance of 2 m 50
cm in the road of length 5 km by saravanan.
If he has 2560 saplings, how many saplings will be planted by him? how many saplings
are left?
Length of the road = 5 km = 500000 cm
Distance between each sapling = 2 m 50 cm = 250 cm
Number of saplings planted = 500000 ÷ 250 = 2000
Number of saplings Saravanan has = 2560
Number of saplings planted = 2000
Number of saplings left = 560

Challenge Problems
6.
A squirrel wants to eat the grains quickly. Help the Squirrel to find the shortest
way to reach the grains. ( Use your scale to measure length of the line segments)
AB + BC + CD + DE
(1.7 + 2.2 + 2 + 1.7) cm = 7.6 cm
AG + GF + FE
(2.2 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 2.3) cm = 7.5 cm
AH + HI + IJ + JE
(2.5 + 2 + 0.7 + 2.7) cm = 7.9 cm
The shortest way to reach the grains is the way from A through
G, F and reach E.
7. A room has a door whose measures are 1 m wide and 2 m 50 cm high.

8. A post office functions from 10 a.m to 5.45 p.m
with a lunch break of 1 hour. If the post office works for 6 days a week, find the
total duration of working hours in a week.
The duration of working hours in one day
Working hours in 1 day = 6.45 hrs
Working hours in 6 days = 6.45 × 6
= 36 hrs 270 mts.
= 36 hrs + 4 hrs 30 minutes
= 40 hrs 30 minutes
Total duration of working hours in a
week = 40 hours 30 minutes.

to get ready and travels 15 minutes to reach the railway station. If the train departs
exactly at 6:00 a.m, will Seetha catch the train?
Seetha wakes up at 5.20 am = 5 hours 20 minutes
Time taken to get ready = 35 minutes
Traveling Time = 15 minutes
The time she reached the railway station = 5
hours 70 minutes
= 5hrs + (60 +10) minutes
= 6 hours 10 minutes
The train departure time =
6 hours
So, Seetha will not catch the train
