                    Example 1. There are 645 oranges, 129 apples and 326 bananas in a store. How many
                    fruits are there in all?

                    Solution.

                    Number of oranges             =             6    4    5
                    Number of apples              =             1    2    9

                    Number of bananas             =    +        3    2    6

                    Total number of fruits  =               1   1    0    0

                    So, the store has 1100 fruits in all.
                    Example 2. A factory produces 2325, 2837 and 987 bulbs in three consecutive days.

                    How many bulbs are produced altogether in these three days?
                    Solution.

                    Number of bulbs produced on the 1st day   =                   2   3    2   5

                    Number of bulbs produced on the 2nd day =                     2   8    3   7

                    Number of bulbs produced on the 3rd day =                +        9    8   7
                    Total production of bulbs in three days              =        6   1    4   9

                    Example 3. In a colony, there are 2658 men, 2257 women and 3445 children. Find the
                    population of the colony.

                    Solution. In a colony:

                    Number of men                           =        2    6    5    8

                    Number of women                         =        2    2    5    7
                    Number of children                      =    +   3    4    4    5

                    The population of the colony            =        8    3    6   0

                                Exercise 2F

                    Solve these word problems.

                        1.  A  shopkeeper  has 562  bags  of rice  in  one  store  and  809  bags  of
                           rice in another store. How many bags of rice are there in both the
                           stores?

                       2.  A fruit seller has 565 mangoes, 645 bananas and 504 pineapples in
                           his shop. How many fruits in total does he have in his shop?

                                                                                                                  49
                                                                                                     Addition
