Question 7:

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888. Find the multiples.

Answer:

Let the three consecutive multiples of 8 be 8x, 8(x + 1), 8(x + 2).

Sum of these numbers = 8 x + 8( x + 1) + 8( x + 2) = 888

8( x + x + 1 + x + 2) = 888

8(3 x + 3) = 888

On dividing both sides by 8, we obtain

3 x + 3 = 111

On transposing 3 to R.H.S, we obtain

3 x = 111 − 3

3 x = 108

Number of boys = 7x

Number of girls = 5x

According to the given question,

Number of boys = Number of girls + 8

∴ 7x = 5x + 8

On transposing 5x to L.H.S, we obtain

7x − 5x = 8

2x = 8

On dividing both sides by 2, we obtain

x = 4

Number of boys = 7x = 7 × 4 = 28

Number of girls = 5x = 5 × 4 = 20

Hence, total class strength = 28 + 20 = 48 students

Question 11:

Baichung's father is 26 years younger than Baichung's grandfather and 29 years older than Baichung. The sum of the ages of all the three is 135 years. What is the age of each one of them?

Answer:

Let Baichung's father's age be x years. Therefore, Baichung's age and Baichung's grandfather's age will be (x − 29) years and (x + 26) years respectively.

According to the given question, the sum of the ages of these 3 people is 135 years.

x + x − 29 + x + 26 = 135

3x − 3 = 135

On transposing 3 to R.H.S, we obtain

3x = 135 + 3

3x = 138

On dividing both sides by 3, we obtain

x = 46

Baichung's father's age = x years = 46 years

Baichung's age = (x − 29) years = (46 − 29) years = 17 years

Baichung's grandfather's age = (x + 26) years = (46 + 26) years = 72 years

Answer:

Let the common ratio between the numbers of notes of different denominations be x. Therefore, numbers of Rs 100 notes, Rs 50 notes, and Rs 10 notes will be2x, 3x, and 5x respectively.

Amount of Rs 100 notes = Rs (100 × 2x) = Rs 200x

Amount of Rs 50 notes = Rs (50 × 3x)= Rs 150x

Amount of Rs 10 notes = Rs (10 × 5x) = Rs 50x

It is given that total amount is Rs 400000.

∴ 200x + 150x + 50x = 400000

⇒ 400x = 400000

On dividing both sides by 400, we obtain

x = 1000

Number of Rs 100 notes = 2x = 2 × 1000 = 2000

Number of Rs 50 notes = 3x = 3 × 1000 = 3000

Number of Rs 10 notes = 5x = 5 × 1000 = 5000

Question 15:

I have a total of Rs 300 in coins of denomination Re 1, Rs 2 and Rs 5. The number of Rs 2 coins is 3 times the number of Rs 5 coins. The total number of coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me?

Answer:

Let the number of Rs 5 coins be x.

Number of Rs 2 coins = 3 × Number of Rs 5 coins = 3x

Number of Re 1 coins = 160 − (Number of coins of Rs 5 and of Rs 2)

= 160 − (3x + x) = 160 − 4x

Amount of Re 1 coins = Rs [1 × (160 − 4x)] = Rs (160 − 4x)

Amount of Rs 2 coins = Rs (2 × 3x)= Rs 6x

Amount of Rs 5 coins = Rs (5 × x) = Rs 5x

It is given that the total amount is Rs 300.

∴ 160 − 4x + 6x + 5x = 300

160 + 7x = 300

On transposing 160 to R.H.S, we obtain

7x = 300 − 160

7x = 140

On dividing both sides by 7, we obtain

x = 20

Number of Re 1 coins = 160 − 4x = 160 − 4 × 20 = 160 − 80 = 80

Number of Rs 2 coins = 3x = 3 × 20 = 60

Number of Rs 5 coins = x = 20

Answer:

Let the number of winners be x. Therefore, the number of participants who did not win will be 63 − x.

Amount given to the winners = Rs (100 × x) = Rs 100x

Amount given to the participants who did not win = Rs [25(63 − x)]

= Rs (1575 − 25x)

According to the given question,

100x + 1575 − 25x = 3000

On transposing 1575 to R.H.S, we obtain

75x = 3000 − 1575

75x = 1425

On dividing both sides by 75, we obtain

x = 19

Question 3:

Sum of the digits of a two digit number is 9. When we interchange the digits it is found that the resulting new number is greater than the original number by 27. What is the two-digit number?

Answer:

Let the digits at tens place and ones place be x and 9 − x respectively.

Therefore, original number = 10x + (9 − x) = 9x + 9

On interchanging the digits, the digits at ones place and tens place will be x and 9 − x respectively.

Therefore, new number after interchanging the digits = 10(9 − x) + x

= 90 − 10x + x

= 90 − 9x

According to the given question,

New number = Original number + 27

90 − 9x = 9x + 9 + 27

90 − 9x = 9x + 36

Transposing 9x to R.H.S and 36 to L.H.S, we obtain

90 − 36 = 18x

54 = 18x

Dividing both sides by 18, we obtain

3 = x and 9 − x = 6

Hence, the digits at tens place and ones place of the number are 3 and 6 respectively.

Therefore, the two-digit number is 9x + 9 = 9 × 3 + 9 = 36

Page No 31:

Question 4:

One of the two digits of a two digit number is three times the other digit. If you interchange the digit of this two-digit number and add the resulting number to the original number, you get 88. What is the original number?

Answer:

Let the digits at tens place and ones place be x and 3x respectively.

Therefore, original number = 10x + 3x = 13x

On interchanging the digits, the digits at ones place and tens place will be x and 3x respectively.

Number after interchanging = 10 × 3x + x = 30x + x = 31x

According to the given question,

Original number + New number = 88

13x + 31x = 88

44x = 88

Dividing both sides by 44, we obtain

x = 2

Therefore, original number = 13x = 13 × 2 = 26

By considering the tens place and ones place as 3x and x respectively, the two-digit number obtained is 62.

Therefore, the two-digit number may be 26 or 62.

Question 6:

There is a narrow rectangular plot, reserved for a school, in Mahuli village. The length and breadth of the plot are in the ratio 11:4. At the rate Rs 100 per metre it will cost the village panchayat Rs 75, 000 to fence the plot. What are the dimensions of the plot?

Answer:

Let the common ratio between the length and breadth of the rectangular plot be x. Hence, the length and breadth of the rectangular plot will be 11x m and 4x m respectively.

Perimeter of the plot = 2(Length + Breadth)

It is given that the cost of fencing the plot at the rate of Rs 100 per metre is Rs 75, 000.

∴ 100 × Perimeter = 75000

100 × 30x = 75000

3000x = 75000

Dividing both sides by 3000, we obtain

x = 25

Length = 11x m = (11 × 25) m = 275 m

Breadth = 4x m = (4 × 25) m = 100 m

Hence, the dimensions of the plot are 275 m and 100 m respectively.

100.80 × (2x) + 55 × (3x) = 36660

201.60x + 165x = 36660

366.60x = 36660

Dividing both sides by 366.60, we obtain

x = 100

Question 9:

A grandfather is ten times older than his granddaughter. He is also 54 years older than her. Find their present ages

Answer:

Let the granddaughter's age be x years. Therefore, grandfather's age will be

10x years.

According to the question,

Grandfather's age = Granddaughter's age + 54 years

10x = x + 54

Transposing x to L.H.S, we obtain

10xx = 54

9x = 54

x = 6

Granddaughter's age = x years = 6 years

Grandfather's age = 10x years = (10 × 6) years = 60 years

Question 10:

Aman's age is three times his son's age. Ten years ago he was five times his son's age. Find their present ages.

Answer:

Let Aman's son's age be x years. Therefore, Aman's age will be 3x years. Ten years ago, their age was (x − 10) years and (3x − 10) years respectively.

According to the question,

10 years ago, Aman's age = 5 × Aman's son's age 10 years ago

3x − 10 = 5(x − 10)

3x − 10 = 5x − 50

Transposing 3x to R.H.S and 50 to L.H.S, we obtain

50 − 10 = 5x − 3x

40 = 2x

Dividing both sides by 2, we obtain

20 = x

Aman's son's age = x years = 20 years

Aman's age = 3x years = (3 × 20) years = 60 years
