(i)There are 4corners in a square
Thrice the number of corners in the square will be 3 × 4 =
12
When this result, i e 12, is added to the number, it comes to be
34 Therefore, the number will be the difference of 34 and 12 i e ,
34 − 12 = 22
(ii) 23 was the result when the old number was up counted on
Sunday
22 was the result when the old number was up counted on
Saturday
21 was the result when the old number was up counted on
Friday
20 was the result when the old number was up counted on
Thursday
19 was the result when the old number was up counted on
Wednesday
18 was the result when the old number was up counted on
Tuesday
17 was the result when the old number was up counted on
Monday
Therefore, number taken at the start = 17 − 1 = 16
(iii) In a cricket team, there are 11 players Hence, the number
is such that when 6 is subtracted from it, the result is 11
Therefore, the number is 11 + 6 = 17
(iv) The number is such that when it is subtracted from 22, the
result is again the number itself The number is 11, which again
gives 11, when it is subtracted from 22
