Addition and Subtraction (Class 2)

What this worksheet covers

This is a fifteen-question practice worksheet on addition and subtraction for Class 2, written to the pattern of the SOF International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO). It carries 18 marks and is designed to be attempted in 35 minutes, split across three sections — Adding and Taking Away, Everyday Sums and Achievers Section. Every question is multiple choice with exactly one correct option, and every one comes with a fully worked solution rather than just an answer key — so a child who gets one wrong can see where the reasoning went astray instead of only learning that it did.

1. 1. 34 + 25 = _______

   • A49
   • B59correct
   • C69
   • D509
   Solution: Add the ones: 4 + 5 = 9.
   Add the tens: 30 + 20 = 50.
   Total = 50 + 9 = 59.

2. 2. There were 240 mangoes in a basket. 85 were sold. How many mangoes are left?

   • A145
   • B155correct
   • C165
   • D325
   Solution: Mangoes were sold, so subtract.
   240 − 85: borrow to get 10 − 5 = 5 in the ones, then 13 − 8 = 5 in the tens, leaving 1 hundred.
   Answer = 155 mangoes.

3. 3. Neha had ₹500. She spent ₹185 on books and ₹120 on a bag. How much money is left with her?

   • A₹315
   • B₹205
   • C₹305
   • D₹195correct
   Solution: First add what she spent: 185 + 120 = ₹305.
   Then take it from what she had: 500 − 305 = ₹195.
