Hints & Solutions
1. LCM of 32, 36, 48, 54 = 864 6. 9. Percentage of print price of radio
∴ Required number = 10000 − 864 = 9136 (Discount % + Profit %) × 100

2. Ratio of students in classes I, II and III C 100 – Discount%
S (20 + 15) × 100

100 − 20
Sum of ratios = 14 + 21 + 27 = 62
P Q 3500
∴ Number of student in class III = = 43.75%

27 Radius = R cm
= × 124 = 54 10. LCM of 12, 15, 20 and 54 = 540
62 4= R 2 − 16 − R 2 − 64
150 ∴ Required number = 540 + 4 = 544
3. Speed of first train = = 10 m / s ⇒ R 2 − 16 = 4 + R 2 − 64
15 11. We know that a certain sum of money
150 + 150 ⇒ R 2 − 16 = 16 + R 2 − 64 becomes n times in t yr when compounded
Second case, = 12, annually. It will become nx times at the same
x + 10 + 8 R 2 − 64
rate of compound interest in xt yr.
where x = speed of other train
⇒ 32 = 8 R 2 − 64 QA sum of money doubles itself at compound
⇒ 300 = 12 x + 120 interest in 15 yr.
180 ⇒ R − 64 = 16
2
⇒ x= = 15 m / s ∴It will become 8 times in 15 × 3 yr i.e. in 45 yr.
12 ⇒ R 2 = 80
12. Let the age of Renu = x yr
18 ∴ R =4 5
∴ Required speed = 15 × = 54 km / h and age Renu’s mother = y yr

1 and ( y + 5) = 2( x + 5)
⇒ a 2 + 2 = 36 − 2 = 34 ⇒ 12 x − 12 = 120 ⇒ y + 5 = 2 x + 10
a
2
⇒ 12 x = 132 ⇒ y − 2x = 5 …(ii)
⇒  a 2 + 1  = ( 34)2 ∴ x = 11
  On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
 a2 
8. Amount = ` P and it will be three times in x yr. x = 15, y = 35
1
⇒ a4 + + 2 = 1156 ∴ Amount in 10 yr = `2 P ∴ Renu’s present age = 15 yr
a4
1 ∴ Simple interest in 10 yr = 2 P − P = ` P 13. Here sum of 5 observations
∴ a +

= 1156 − 2 = 1154 = x + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 4) + ( x + 6) + ( x + 8)
a 4 100 × P
Rate of interest in 10 yr = = 10% = 5 x + 20
5. Total cost of car = 6000 + 500 = ` 6500 P × 10
5 x + 20
Interest for 3 times amount = 3P − P ∴ Mean of total observations = = 11
Selling price = ` 7020 5
Profit = 7020 − 6500 = ` 520 = `2 P
⇒ 5 x + 20 = 55 ⇒ x = 7
520 100 × 2 P
∴ Gain per cent = × 100 = 8% Time ( x ) = = 20 yr ∴Mean of first three observations
