A transport company consumed 8749 litres of diesel during the first year. Its consumption of diesel in the second year was 8956 litres more than that of the first year. In the third year, the consumption was 4678 litres more than that of the second year. What was the total consumption of diesel in these three years?
In an examination, 30378 students sat in the first year, 35410 sat in the second year, 36925 sat in the third year, and 27089 sat in the fourth year. How many students took the examination in four years?

There are 28539 bags of wheat, 25312 bags of rice, 43809 bags of sugar, and 19318 bags of barley in a godown. Find the total number of bags in that godown.
Answer (2)
Let's solve each part of the question step by step:
Total Diesel Consumption in Three Years:
First year: 8749 liters
Second year: 8749 + 8956 liters = 17705 liters
Third year: 17705 + 4678 liters = 22383 liters
To find the total consumption over the three years, add these values: 8749 + 17705 + 22383 = 48837 So, the total diesel consumption over the three years is 48,837 liters .
Total Students in Four Years:
Students in first year: 30378
Students in second year: 35410
Students in third year: 36925
Students in fourth year: 27089
To find the total number of students over these four years, add these values: 30378 + 35410 + 36925 + 27089 = 129802 Thus, 129,802 students took the examination over the four years.
Total Books in the Library:
Books in English: 35035
Books in Hindi: 58509
Books in other languages: 4299
To find the total number of books in the library, add these values: 35035 + 58509 + 4299 = 97843 So, the library has a total of 97,843 books .
Total Bags in the Godown:
Bags of wheat: 28539
Bags of rice: 25312
Bags of sugar: 43809
Bags of barley: 19318
To find the total number of bags in the godown, add these values: 28539 + 25312 + 43809 + 19318 = 116978 Therefore, there are 116,978 bags in the godown.
Each part involves straightforward addition, which is an elementary arithmetic operation often encountered in middle school mathematics.
In summary, the total diesel consumption over three years is 48,837 liters, 129,802 students took the examination over four years, the library has 97,843 books, and the godown contains 116,978 bags. Each part involved simple addition to arrive at these totals.
