Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Operations on Fractions Practice Set 13 4

  • Add the four numbers in the rows, the columns and along the diagonals of this square.
  • What is the sum?
  • Is it the same every time?
  • What is the peculiarity?
  • Look at the numbers in the first row, 22 – 12 – 1887. Find out why this date is special.

Obtain and read a biography of the great Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
Solution:
Sum of the numbers in each row:
i. 22 + 12 + 18 + 87 = 139
ii. 88 + 17 + 9 + 25 = 139
iii. 10 + 24 + 89 + 16 = 139
iv. 19 + 86 + 23 + 11 = 139

Sum of the numbers along the diagonals:
i. 22 + 17 + 89 + 11 = 139
ii. 87 + 9 + 24 + 19 = 139

Sum of the numbers in each column:
i. 22 + 88 + 10 + 19 = 139
ii. 12 + 17 + 24 + 86 = 139
iii. 18 + 9 + 89 + 23 = 139
iv. 87 + 25 + 16 + 11 = 139

∴ We observe that the sum of the numbers in each of the rows, the columns and along each diagonal remains the same every time. The numbers in the first row 22 – 12 – 1887 is the birth date of Srinivasa Ramanujan.
