Question 1.
If you subtract \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) from a number and multiply the result by \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) you get \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\). What is the number?
Solution:
Let the required number be x.
āˆ“According to the condition, we have
(- \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)) Ɨ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 8 }\) Ɨ 2
(Multipling both sides by 2)
x – \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\)
Adding both sides \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) we have
x – \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) or x = \(\frac { 1 + 2 }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\)
āˆ“The required number = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\)

Question 2.
The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154 m. Its length is 2 m more than twice its breadth. What are the length and the breadth of the pool?
Solution:
Perimeter of the rectangular pool =154 m Let breadth = x metres
āˆ“Length = 2(breadth) + 2 metres.
= (2x + 2) metres.
Since, perimeter of a rectangle
= 2(length + breadth)
āˆ“2[(2x + 2) + x] = 154
or (2x + 2) + x = \(\frac { 154 }{ 2 }\) = 77
(Dividing both sides by 2)
or 2x + 2 + x = 77 or 3x + 2 = 77
Transposing 2 to RHS, we have
3x = 77 – 2 = 75
Dividing both sides by 3, we have
x = \(\frac { 75 }{ 3 }\) = 25
āˆ“Breadth = 25 m
Length = 2(25) + 2 = 52 m

Question 3.
The base of an isosceles triangle is \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) cm.
The perimeter of the triangle is 4\(\frac { 2 }{ 15 }\) cm. What is the length of either of the remaining equal sides?
Solution:
Base of the isosceles triangle = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) cm.
Let the length of either equal sides = x cm.
Perimeter of the triangle = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) + x + x = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) + 2x
But the perimeter of the triangle = 4\(\frac { 2 }{ 15 }\) cm
āˆ“\(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) + 2x = 4\(\frac { 2 }{ 15 }\) = \(\frac { 62 }{ 15 }\)
Transposing \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) to RHS, we have 2x = \(\frac { 62 }{ 15 }\) – \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\)
or 2x = \(\frac { 62 }{ 15 }\) – \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) or 2x = \(\frac { 62 – 20 }{ 15 }\) = \(\frac { 42 }{ 15 }\)
Dividing both sides by 2, we have
x = \(\frac { 42 }{ 15 }\) Ɨ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 21 }{ 15 }\) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 5 }\)
or x = \(\frac { 7 }{ 5 }\) = 1 \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) cm

Dividing both sides by 2, we have
\(\frac { 2x }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 18 }{ 2 }\) or x = 9
āˆ“5x = 5 x 9 = 45 and 3x = 3 x 9 = 27
āˆ“The required numbers are 45 and 27.

Question 6.
Three consecutive integers add up to 51. What are these integers?
Solution:
Let the three consecutive numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2.
According to the condition, we have
x + [x + 1] + [x + 2] = 51
or x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51
or 3x + 3 = 51
Transposing 3 to RHS, we have
3x = 51 – 3 = 48
Dividing both sides by 3, we have:
\(\frac { 3x }{ 3 }\) = \(\frac { 48 }{ 3 }\) or x = 16
Now x + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

According to the condition, we have
[x] + [x + 8] + [x + 16] = 888
or x + x + 8+ x + 16 = 888
or 3x + 24 = 888
Transposing 24 to RHS, we have
3x = 888 – 24 = 864
Dividing both sides by 3, we have
x = 864 + 3 = 288
āˆ“ x + 8 = 288 + 8 = 296
and x + 16 = 288 + 16 = 304
Thus, the required multiples of 8 are: 288, 296 and 304.

Let their present ages are: 5x and 7x.
4 years later: Age of Rahul = (5x + 4) years
Age of Haroon = (7x + 4) years
According to the condition, we have
(5x + 4) + (7x + 4) = 56
or 5x + 4 + 7x + 4 = 56
or + 8 56
Transposing 8 to RHS, we have
12K = 56 – 8 – 48
Dividing both sides by 12, we have x = \(\frac { 48 }{ 12 }\) = 4

Question 11.
Baichungā€™s father is 26 years younger than Baichungā€™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?
Solution:
Let the age of Baichung = x years
His fatherā€™s age = (x + 29) years and
His grandfatherā€™s age = (x + 29 + 26)
years = (x + 55) years
According to the condition, we have
[x] + [x + 29] + [x + 55]= 135 years
or x + x + 29 + x + 55 = 135
or 3x + 84 = 135
Transposing 84 to RHS, we have
3x = 135 – 84 or 3x = 51
Dividing both sides by 3, we have
x = 51 + 3 = 17
Now, Baichungā€™s age = 17 years
His fatherā€™s age = 17 + 29 = 46 years
His grandfatherā€™s age = 46 + 26 = 72 years

Solution:
Let the number of:
ā‚¹ 100-notes = 2x
ā‚¹ 50-notes = 3x
ā‚¹ 10-notes = 5x
Value of ā‚¹ 100-notes = 2x x ā‚¹ 100 = ā‚¹ 200x Value of ā‚¹ 50-notes = 3x Ɨ ā‚¹ 50 = ā‚¹ 150x Value of ā‚¹ 10 we have 10-notes = 5x Ɨ ā‚¹ 10 = ā‚¹ 50x
According to the condition, we have
ā‚¹ 200x + ā‚¹ 150x + ā‚¹ 50x = ā‚¹ 4,00,000
or 200x + 150x + 50x = 400000
or 400x = 400000

Dividing both sides by 400, we have
x = 400000 – Ć· 400 = 1000
2x = 2 x 1000 = 2000
3x = 3 x 1000 = 3000
5x = 5 x 1000 = 5000
Thus, the number of
ā‚¹ 100-notes = 2000

Question 15.
I have a total of ā‚¹ 300 in coins of denomination ā‚¹ 1, ā‚¹ 2 and ā‚¹ 5. The number of ā‚¹ 2 coins is 3 times the number off 5 coins. The total number of coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me?
Solution:
Let the number of ā‚¹ 5 coins = x
The number of ā‚¹ 2 coins = 3x
Total number of coins = 160
Number of ā‚¹ 1 coins = 160 – 3x – x = (160 – 4x)
Now, value of:
ā‚¹ 5-coins = ā‚¹ 5 x x = ā‚¹ 5x
ā‚¹ 2-coins = ā‚¹ 2 x 3x = ā‚¹ 6x
ā‚¹ 1-coins = ā‚¹ 1 x (160 – 4x) = ā‚¹ (160 – 4x)
According to the condition, we have
5x + 6x + (160 – 4x) = 300
or 5x – 6x +160 – 4x = 300
or 7x + 160 = 300
Transposing 160 to RHS, we have
7x = 300 – 160 = 140
Dividing both sides by 7, we have
x = \(\frac { 140 }{ 7 }\) = 20
Number of: ā‚¹ 5-coins = 20
ā‚¹ 2-coins = 3 x 20 = 60
ā‚¹ 1-coins = 160 – (20 x 4) = 80

Question 16.

Solution:
Let the number of winners = x
Number of participants who are not winners = (63 – x)
āˆ“ Prize money given to:
Winners = x Ɨ ā‚¹ 100 = ā‚¹ 100x
Non-winner participants = ā‚¹ 25 x (63 – x) = ā‚¹ 25 x 63 – ā‚¹ 25x = ā‚¹ 1575 – ā‚¹ 25x
According to the condition, we have
100x + 1575 – 25x = 3000
or 75x = 3000 – 1575
[Transposing 1575 to RHS]
or 75x = 1425
or x = 1425 – 75 = 19
Thus, the number of winners = 19
