Question 11 Mark
The worldwide population of sheep (2024) is about $10^9$, and that of goats is also about the same. What is the total population of sheep and goats?
(i) $20^9$
(ii) $10^{11}$
(iii) $10^{10}$
(iv) $10^{18}$
(v) $2 \times 10^9$
(vi) $10^9+10^9$
Answer
Population of sheep $=10^9$
Population of goats $=10^9$
Total population of sheep and goats $=10^9+10^9$ or $2 \times 10^9$
Therefore, (v) $2 \times 10^9$ and (vi) $10^9+10^9$ are the correct answers.

Question 21 Mark
A digital locker has an alphanumeric (it can have both digits and letters) passcode of length 5. Some example codes are G89P0, 38098, BRJKW, and 003AZ. How many such codes are possible?
Answer
Length of passcode $=5$
Total choices of alphabets and letters for each slot $=26+10=36$
Total possible codes $=36 \times 36 \times 36 \times 36 \times 36=36^5$

Question 31 Mark
Identify the greater number in the following - $100^2$ or $2^{100}$
Answer
$100^2$ or $2^{100}$
$100^2=10,000$
$2^{100}=\left(2^{10}\right)^{10}=1024^{10}$, which is far greater than 10,000 .
So, $2^{100}$ is greater than $100^2$.
