- (b) 2:3
- (c) 3:2
- (d) 4:5
Answer Key & Solutions
- (b) 100 (If 20% = 50, then 40% = 100)
- (b) 120 (Let original no. = x; x + 25% of x = 150 ⇒ x = 120)
- (b) 20% (Profit = ₹100, % Profit = (100/500) × 100 = 20%)
- (a) ₹500 (CP = SP / (1 – Loss%) = 450 / 0.9 = ₹500)
- (b) 16 (M1D1 = M2D2 ⇒ 12×8 = M2×6 ⇒ M2 = 16)
- (c) 30 days (B’s efficiency = (1/10 – 1/15) = 1/30 ⇒ 30 days)
- (a) 5% (SI = ₹400, Rate = (400×100)/(2000×4) = 5%)
- (c) 10 years (SI needed = ₹5000, Time = (5000×100)/(5000×10) = 10 yrs)
- (c) 40 (Total of 5 nos. = 120, Total of 4 nos. = 80 ⇒ Excluded no. = 40)
- (c) 21 (Total age of 4 boys = 64, New total = 85 ⇒ New boy’s age = 21)
- (b) 16.67 m/s (Speed = 300/5 = 60 km/h = 60×5/18 ≈ 16.67 m/s)
- (c) 10 min (Distance = 6×(20/60) = 2 km; Time = 2/12 hrs = 10 min)
- (a) 5:8 (A:B = 3:4, B:C = 5:6 ⇒ A:B:C = 15:20:24 ⇒ A:C = 15:24 = 5:8)
- (c) ₹750 (B’s share = (5/8) × 1200 = ₹750)
- (b) 12 (HCF of 36 & 48 = 12)
- (c) 300 (LCM of 15, 20, 25 = 300)
- (b) 53 (125 ÷ 5 = 25; 12 × 3 = 36 ⇒ 25 + 36 – 8 = 53)
- (c) 220 (40% of 250 = 100; 30% of 400 = 120 ⇒ Total = 220)
- (b) ₹3 (CP per pen = ₹8, SP per pen = ₹11 ⇒ Profit = ₹3)
- (c) 3:2 (0.2(A+B) = 0.5B ⇒ 0.2A = 0.3B ⇒ A/B = 3/2)
