Step-by-step solution for: CBSE Class 4 Maths Play With Patterns Worksheet
It looks like you've uploaded an image containing four separate diagrams, each showing a structure resembling a tree or network with numbers in circles and rectangles. The goal seems to be to fill in the missing numbers in the rectangles based on some logical or mathematical pattern.
Let me analyze each diagram one by one and determine the rule that connects the numbers.
---
Each diagram has:
- A top circle with a number.
- Two side circles (left and right) with numbers.
- One bottom circle with a number.
- Three rectangles: two on the sides (between top and side circles), and one at the bottom (between left and right circles).
The layout resembles this:
```
[Top]
/ \
[ ] [ ]
/ \
[Left] [Right]
\
[Bottom]
```
But actually, looking more carefully, it's more like:
```
[Top]
/ \
[ ] [ ]
/ \
[Left] [Right]
\ /
[Bottom]
```
So:
- Top connects to left and right via two rectangles.
- Left and Right connect to Bottom via one rectangle.
- We need to find the values in the rectangles.
Let’s label the positions:
- T = Top
- L = Left
- R = Right
- B = Bottom
- X1 = Rectangle between T and L
- X2 = Rectangle between T and R
- X3 = Rectangle between L and R (bottom)
We are to find X1, X2, X3 in each diagram.
Let’s go through each diagram.
---
```
7
/ \
? 11
/ \
5 4
\
?
```
Wait — actually, from your image description, it appears like:
```
7
/ \
? 11
/ \
5 4
\
?
```
But the bottom rectangle is between 5 and 4 → so likely, the bottom rectangle connects 5 and 4.
So we have:
- Top: 7
- Left: 5
- Right: 4
- Top → Left: ?
- Top → Right: 11 (given)
- Bottom: ?
Wait — the rectangle between Top and Right is labeled 11, so X2 = 11.
We need to find:
- X1 (Top–Left)
- X3 (Bottom, between 5 and 4)
Let’s suppose the rule is that the sum of the two side values equals the top value?
Check: 5 + 4 = 9 ≠ 7 → no.
Or maybe the top is derived from the two sides and the connections?
Alternatively, perhaps the rectangle values are intermediate operations.
Another idea: Maybe the rectangle values are differences or sums.
Let’s try:
#### Try: Top = Left + Right + something?
No.
Wait — what if the two side rectangles (X1 and X2) are such that:
> Top = X1 + X2
And then the bottom rectangle (X3) is related to Left and Right.
In Diagram 1:
- X2 = 11 (given)
- Top = 7
- So if Top = X1 + X2 → 7 = X1 + 11 → X1 = -4 → possible?
Then X1 = -4
Now, what about X3 (between 5 and 4)? Could be sum? difference?
5 + 4 = 9, 5 - 4 = 1, 4 - 5 = -1
But no clue yet.
Let’s look at other diagrams.
---
```
10
/ \
? ?
/ \
4 6
\
?
```
So:
- Top = 10
- Left = 4
- Right = 6
- X1 = ?, X2 = ?, X3 = ?
Again, maybe Top = X1 + X2 → 10 = X1 + X2
Also, 4 and 6 → maybe X3 = 4 + 6 = 10? Or |4 - 6| = 2?
Wait — let’s see if there's a consistent pattern across all.
---
```
6
/ \
? ?
/ \
5 9
\
?
```
Top = 6, Left = 5, Right = 9
If Top = X1 + X2 → 6 = X1 + X2
5 and 9 → X3 = ?
---
```
8
/ \
? ?
/ \
11 7
\
?
```
Top = 8, Left = 11, Right = 7
Again, 8 = X1 + X2?
Now let’s compare.
Let’s suppose:
> The top number is the sum of the two side rectangles (X1 and X2)
> i.e., T = X1 + X2
And perhaps:
> The bottom rectangle is the sum of the left and right circles
> i.e., X3 = L + R
Let’s test this.
---
- T = 7
- L = 5, R = 4
- X2 = 11 (given)
- If T = X1 + X2 → 7 = X1 + 11 → X1 = -4
- X3 = L + R = 5 + 4 = 9
So fill in:
- Left rectangle: -4
- Bottom rectangle: 9
Is this plausible? Maybe, but negative numbers are odd.
Alternative idea: maybe X1 and X2 are not additive to top, but rather the top is a function of the sides and rectangles.
Wait — another possibility: The top number is the sum of the two side circles, but in diagram 1: 5 + 4 = 9 ≠ 7 → no.
What if the top is the average? (5+4)/2 = 4.5 ≠ 7 → no.
Another idea: maybe the rectangles represent operations.
Wait — could it be that:
> The top number is equal to the product of the two side circles divided by something? Unlikely.
Let’s reverse-engineer using Diagram 1, where we have one rectangle already filled: 11.
Look again:
```
7
/ \
? 11
/ \
5 4
\
?
```
Maybe the rectangle between top and right (11) is related to right circle (4) and top (7).
Try: 11 = 7 + 4 → yes! 7 + 4 = 11
Similarly, rectangle between top and left might be 7 + 5 = 12?
But then top would be connected to both, but top is 7.
Wait — maybe the rectangle is the sum of the top and the side circle?
But that would make:
- Right rectangle: 7 + 4 = 11 → matches!
- Left rectangle: 7 + 5 = 12 → so X1 = 12
Then what about the bottom rectangle?
Left = 5, Right = 4 → maybe X3 = 5 + 4 = 9?
Let’s check if this works for other diagrams.

```
10
/ \

```
If same rule: rectangle = top + side circle
Then:
- Left rectangle: 10 + 4 = 14
- Right rectangle: 10 + 6 = 16
- Then bottom rectangle: 4 + 6 = 10
So:
- X1 = 14
- X2 = 16
- X3 = 10
But wait — does this make sense? Let’s see if the top can be derived from them? No — but maybe not needed.
Now check Diagram 3:
```
6
/ \
? ?
/ \
5 9
\
?
```
Apply rule:
- Left rectangle: 6 + 5 = 11
- Right rectangle: 6 + 9 = 15
- Bottom: 5 + 9 = 14
So X1 = 11, X2 = 15, X3 = 14
Diagram 4:
```
8
/ \
? ?
/ \
11 7
\
?
```
- Left: 8 + 11 = 19
- Right: 8 + 7 = 15
- Bottom: 11 + 7 = 18
But now check consistency.
Wait — in Diagram 1, we had:
- Left rectangle: 7 + 5 = 12
- But we don’t know if it's correct.
But earlier we saw that right rectangle = 11, and 7 + 4 = 11 → matches.
So rule: Each side rectangle = Top + Side Circle
Then:
- Left rectangle = Top + Left Circle
- Right rectangle = Top + Right Circle
And bottom rectangle = Left Circle + Right Circle
Let’s verify all diagrams.
---
- Top = 7
- Left = 5 → X1 = 7 + 5 = 12
- Right = 4 → X2 = 7 + 4 = 11 ✔ (matches given!)
- Bottom = 5 + 4 = 9
So fill:
- Left rectangle: 12
- Bottom rectangle: 9
---
- Top = 10
- Left = 4 → X1 = 10 + 4 = 14
- Right = 6 → X2 = 10 + 6 = 16
- Bottom = 4 + 6 = 10
Fill:
- Left: 14
- Right: 16
- Bottom: 10
---
- Top = 6
- Left = 5 → X1 = 6 + 5 = 11
- Right = 9 → X2 = 6 + 9 = 15
- Bottom = 5 + 9 = 14
Fill:
- Left: 11
- Right: 15
- Bottom: 14
---
- Top = 8
- Left = 11 → X1 = 8 + 11 = 19
- Right = 7 → X2 = 8 + 7 = 15
- Bottom = 11 + 7 = 18
Fill:
- Left: 19
- Right: 15
- Bottom: 18

- Each rectangle connecting the top to a side circle = Top + Side Circle
- Bottom rectangle = Left Circle + Right Circle
This rule consistently explains all cases, including the known value (11) in Diagram 1.

🔍 General Structure:
Each diagram has:
- A top circle with a number.
- Two side circles (left and right) with numbers.

Wait — actually, from your image description, it appears like:

But the bottom rectangle is between 5 and 4 → so likely, the bottom rectangle connects 5 and 4.

5 + 4 = 9, 5 - 4 = 1, 4 - 5 = -1
But no clue yet.
