13. The correct descending order is in the sequence-
4982, 4781, 4578, 4138

14. 57 hundred = 5700

3 ones = 3
5700
Now, = 1900 = 190 tens

15. = 18

=6
Then,

= 6 × 9 = 54

16. If = 50 g
From the diagram,

=
= 6 × 50 = 300 g

= 100 g

∴ = 2 × 100 = 200 g

17. ∴ 1286 = 128 tens

18. 28 ÷ 7 × ? = 16
⟹ 4 × ? = 16
⟹ ?=4

19. Below are the given conditions:

2 ₹ 5 + 3 ₹ 2 = 2 × 5 + 3 × 2 = 10 + 6 = ₹ 16
3 ₹ 5 + 2 ₹ 2 = 3 × 5 + 2 × 2 = 15 + 4 = ₹ 19
4 ₹ 5 = 4 × 5 = ₹ 20
1 ₹ 5 + 8 ₹ 2 = 1 × 5 + 8 × 2 = 5 + 16 = ₹ 21
