Q1. Amina thinks of a number and subtracts `5/2` from it. She multiplies the result by `8`. The result now obtained is `3` times the same number she thought of. What is the number?
`text{Sol.}`
`text{Let Amina thinks of a number is x}`
`text{According to question}`
`(text{x} - 5/2)times8 = 3 times text{x}`
`text{8x - 20 = 3x}`
`text{8x - 3x = 20}`
`text{5x = 20}`
`text{x} = 20/5`
`text{x} = 4`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{The number is 4.}`


Q2. A positive number is `5` times another number. If `21` is added to both the numbers, then one of the new numbers becomes twice the other new number. What are the numbers?
`text{Sol.}`
`text{Let a positive no. is x}`
`text{and another no. is 5x}`
`text{According to question}`
`text{2(x +21) = 5x + 21}`
`text{2x + 42 = 5x + 21}`
`text{5x - 2x = 42 - 21}`
`text{3x = 21}`
`text{x} = 21/3`
`text{x} = 7`
`text{5x} = 7times5 = 35`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{The numbers are 7 and 35.}`
Q3. Sum of the digits of a two-digit 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?
`text{Sol.}`
`text{Let tens digit is x}`
`text{and ones digit is 9 - x}`
`text{original number 10x + (9 - x)}`____`text{(A)`
`text{According to question}`
`text{[10(9 - x) + x ]+ 27 = 10x + (9 - x)}`
`text{90 - 10x + x + 27 = 10x + 9 - x}`
`text{63 - 9x = 9x + 9}`
`text{9x + 9x = 63 - 9}`
`text{18x = 54}`
`text{x} = 54/18`
`text{x} = 3`
`text{9 - x} = 9 - 3 = 6`
`text{Put these values in equation (A)}`
`text{10(3) + 6 = 36}`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{The two digit no. is 36.}`
Q4. One of the two digits of a two-digit number is three times the other digit. If you interchange the digits of this two-digit number and add the resulting number to the original number, you get `88`. What is the original number?
`text{Sol.}`
`text{Let tens digit x}`
`text{and ones digit 3x}`
`text{original number 10x + 3x}`_______`text{(A)}`
`text{According to question}`
`text{(10x + 3x) + [10(3x) + x] = 88}`
`text{13x + 31x = 88}`
`text{44x = 88}`
`text{x} = 88/44`
`text{x} = 2`
`text{3x} = 3times2 = 6`
`text{Put these values in equation (A)}`
`text{10(2) + 6 = 26}`
`text{or}`
`62`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{The original no. is 26 or 62.}`
Q5. Shobo's mother's present age is six times Shobo's present age. Shobo's age five years from now will be one-third of his mother's present age. What are their present ages?
`text{Sol.}`
`text{Let Shobo's present age x years}`
`text{and mother's present age 6x years}`
`text{After 5 years}`
`text{Shobo's age x + 5 years}`
`text{According to question}`
`text{3(x + 5) = 6x}`
`text{3x + 15 = 6x}`
`text{6x - 3x = 15}`
`text{3x = 15}`
`text{x} = 15/3`
`text{x} = 5`
`text{6x} = 6 times 5 = 30`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{Shobo's age 5 years and}`
`text{mother's age 30 years.}`
Q6. 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 `₹ 100` per meter it will cost the village panchayat `₹ 75000` to fence the plot. What are the dimensions of the plot?
`text{Sol.}`
`text{Let Length of rectangular plot 11x}`
`text{and Breadth of rectangular plot 4x}`
`text{According to qiestion}`
`text{Preimeter of rectangular plot = 2(L + B)}`
`text{Total cost of fence}/text{Rate} = text{2(11x + 4x)}`
`75000/100 = text{ 2(15x)}`
`750 = text{ 30x}`
`text{x} = 750/30`
`text{x} = 25`
`text{11x} = 11 times 25 = 275`
`text{4x} = 4 times 25 = 100`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{Length 275 meters and Breadth 100 meters.}`
Q7. Hasan buys two kinds of cloth materials for school uniforms, shirt material that costs him `₹ 50` per meter and trouser material that costs him `₹ 90` per meter.
For every `3` meters of the shirt material, he buys `2` meters of the trouser material. He sells the materials at `12`% and `10`% profit respectively. His total sale is `₹36600`. How much trouser material did he buy?
`text{Sol.}`
`text{Ratio of shirt and trouser material bought is 3 : 2}`
`text{Let the shirt material bought 3x}`
`text{and the trouser material bought 2x}`
`text{cost price of shirt material 3x}times 50 = 150text{x}`
`text{cost price of trouser material 2x}times 90 = 180text{x}`
`text{selling price of shirt material =} (text{cp}(100 + p))/100`

`text{sp} = (150text{x}(100 + 12))/100`

`text{sp} = (150text{x} times 112)/100`

`text{sp} = 168text{x}`
`text{selling price of trouser material =} (text{cp}(100 + p))/100`

`text{sp} = (180text{x}(100 + 10))/100`

`text{sp} = (180text{x} times 110)/100`

`text{sp} = 198text{x}`
`text{According to question}`
`text{Total sp = 168x + 198x}`
`text{36600 = 366x}`
`text{x} = 100`
`text{Length of trouser material 2}times 100 = 200text{ m}`

`text{Sol.}`
`text{The no. of deer in the herd x}`
`text{and no. of deer are grazing } text{x}/2`
`text{and no. of deer are playing } 3/4times text{x}/2 = (3text{x})/8`
`text{According to question}`
`text{x - x}(1/2 + 3/8) = 9`
`text{x - x}((4 + 3)/8 )= 9`
`text{x - x} (7/8) = 9`
`text{8x - 7x}/8 = 9`
`text{x} = 9times8`
