            Example  :  In an examination, 180765 students appeared. 89929 students
                              passed. How many students failed ?
                                                                                                      17  9
            Solution  :  Students appeared  = 180765                                               0  7  10  17  5  15

                          Students passed    =   89929                                             1  8  0  7  6  5

                          \ Number of students failed                                               – 8  9  9  2  9


                                                       = 180765 – 89929                            0  9  0  8  3  6

            Example  :  The population of a town is 290745. There are 80670 men and

                              60907 women. The remaining are children. How many children

                              are there in the town ?                                                     1
                                                                                                      8  0  6  7  0
            Solution  :  Number of men    = 80670
                                                                                                   + 6  0  9  0  7
                          Number of women  = 60907
                                                                                                   1  4  1  5  7  7
                          Therefore, the total number of men and
                              women                      = 80670 + 60907
                                                                                                       8  10  6  13  15
                                                         = 141577                                  2  9  0  7  4  5

                          Total population    = 290745                                           – 1  4  1  5  7  7

                                                                                                   1  4  9  1  6  8
                          Number of children = 290745 – 141577

                                                         = 149168
