Answer:

1) 240

2) 211

Explanation:

The counting sequence in base 5 is similar to that in base 10, except the digits 5 through 9 are not used. The first few counting numbers are ...

1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, ...

When 1 is added to 4 in the units place, a carry to the fives place is generated and the units digit is returned to zero.

234₅ +1 = 240₅

210₅ +1 = 211₅
