Question 3.
m∝n,n = 15 when m = 25. Hence
i. Find m when n = 87,
ii. Find n when m = 155. [Chapter 7]
Solution:
Given that, m ∝ n
∴ m = kn …(i)
where, k is the constant of variation.
When m = 25, n = 15
∴ Substituting, m = 25 and n = 15 in (i), we get
m = kn
∴ 25 = k × 15
∴ k = \(\frac { 25 }{ 15 }\)
∴ k = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }\)
Substituting k = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }\) in (i), we get
m = kn
∴ m = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }n\) …(ii)

i. When n = 87, m = ?
Substituting n = 87 in (ii), we get
m = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }n\)
m = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }\) × 87
m = 5 × 29
m = 145

ii. When m = 155, n = ?
∴ Substituting m = 155 in (ii), we get
m = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }n\)
∴ 155 = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }n\)
∴ \(\frac{155 \times 3}{5}=n\)
∴ n = 31 × 3
∴ n = 93

Question 4.
y varies inversely with x. If y = 30 when x = 12, find [Chapter 7]
i. y when x = 15,
ii. x when y = 18.
Solution:
Given that,
\(y \propto \frac{1}{x}\)
∴ \(y=k \times \frac{1}{x}\)
where, k is the constant of variation.
∴ y × x = k …(i)
When x = 12, y = 30
∴ Substituting, x = 12 and y = 30 in (i), we get
y × x = k
∴ 30 × 12 = k
∴ k = 360
Substituting, k = 360 in (i), we get
y × x = k
∴ y × x = 360 ….(ii)

i. When x = 15,y = ?
∴ Substituting x = 15 in (ii), we get
y × x = 360
∴ y × 15 = 360
∴ y = \(\frac { 360 }{ 15 }\)
∴ y = 24

ii. When y = 18, x = ?
∴ Substituting y = 18 in (ii), we get
y × x = 360
∴18 × x = 360
∴ x = \(\frac { 360 }{ 18 }\)
∴ x = 20

Question 7.
Expand.
i. (5x – 7) (5x – 9)
ii. (2x – 3y)³
iii. \(\left(a+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}\) [Chapter 5]
Solution:
i. (5x – 7) (5x – 9)
= (5x)² + (-7 -9) 5x + (-7) × (-9).
…[∵ (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab]
= 25x² + (-16) × 5x + 63
= 25x² – 80x + 63

ii. Here, a = 2x and b = 3y
(2x – 3y)³
= (2x)³ – 3 (2x)² (3y) + 3 (2x) (3y)² – (3y)³
…[∵ (a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³]
= 8x³ – 3 (4x²) (3y) + 3 (2x) (9y²) – 27y³
= 8x³ – 36x²y + 54xy² – 27p³

iii. Here, A= a and B = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
\(\left(a+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}=(a)^{3}+3(a)^{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+3(a)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}\)
…[(A + B)³ = A³ + 3A²B + 3AB² + B³]
\(=\mathbf{a}^{3}+\frac{3 \mathbf{a}^{2}}{2}+\frac{3 \mathbf{a}}{4}+\frac{1}{8}\)

Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 7
Here, point B is the orthocentre of ∆ABC.

Question 10.
Identify the variation and solve.
It takes 5 hours to travel from one town to the other if speed of the bus is 48 km/hr. If the speed of the bus is reduced by 8 km/hr, how much time will it take for the same travel? [Chapter 7]
Solution:
Let, v represent the speed of the bus and t represent the time required to travel from one town to the other.
The speed of the bus varies inversely with the time required to travel from one town to the other.
∴ \(\mathbf{v} \propto \frac{1}{\mathbf{t}}\)
∴ \(\mathbf{v}=\mathbf{k} \times \frac{1}{\mathbf{t}}\)
where, k is the constant of variation.
∴ v × t = k …(i)
It takes 5 hours to travel from one town to the other if speed of the bus is 48 km/hr.
i.e., when v = 48, t = 5
∴ Substituting v = 48 and t = 5 in (i), we get
v × t = k
∴ 48 × 5 = k
∴ k = 240
Substituting k = 240 in (i), we get
v × t = k
∴ v × t = 240 …(ii)
Since, the speed of the bus is reduced by 8 km/hr,
∴ Speed of the bus in second case (v)
= 48 – 8 = 40 km/hr
∴ When v = 40, t = ?
∴ Substituting v = 40 in (ii), we get
v × t = 240
∴ 40 × t = 240
∴ \(t=\frac { 240 }{ 40 }\)
∴ t = 6
∴ The problem is of inverse variation and the bus would take 6 hours to travel the distance if its speed is reduced by 8 km/hr.

Question 11.
Seg AD and seg BE are medians of ∆ABC and point G is the centroid. If l(AG) = 5 cm, find l(GD). If l(GE) = 2 cm, find l(BE). [Chapter 4]
Solution:
The centroid of a triangle divides each median in the ratio 2:1.
i. Point G is the centroid and seg AD is the median.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 8

ii. Point G is the centroid and seg BE is the median.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 9
∴ l(BG) × 1 = 2 × 2
∴ l(BG) = 4 cm
Now, l(BE) = l(BG) + l(GE)
∴ l(BE) = 4 + 2
∴ l(BE) = 6 cm

Question 12.

Question 13.
Factorize.
i. 2y² – 11y + 5
ii. x² – 2x – 80
iii. 3x² – 4x + 1
Solution:
i. 2y² – 11y + 5
= 2y² – 10y – y + 5
= 2y(y – 5) – 1(y – 5)
= (y – 5)(2y – 1)
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 14

ii. x² – 2x – 80
= x² – 10x + 8x – 80
= x (x – 10) + 8 (x – 10)
= (x – 10)(x + 8)
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 15

iii. 3x² – 4x + 1
= 3x² – 3x – x + 1
= 3x(x – 1) – 1(x – 1)
= (x – 1) (3x – 1)

discount = 15%
Let the discount percent be x
∴x = 15%
i. Discount
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Miscellaneous Exercise 1 17
= 500 × 15
= Rs 7,500

ii. Selling price = Marked price – Discount
= 50,000 – 7,500
= Rs 42,500
∴The price of the T.V. set for the customer is Rs 42,500.

Question 15.
Rajabhau sold his flat to Vasantrao for Rs 88,00,000 through an agent. The agent charged 2 % commission for both of them. Find how much commission the agent got. [Chapter 9]
Solution:
Here, selling price of the flat = Rs 88,00,000
Rate of commission = 2%
Commission = 2% of selling price
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 100 }\) × 88,00,000
= 2 × 88,000
= Rs 1,76,000
∴ Total commission = Commission from Rajabhau + Commission from Vasantrao
= Rs 1,76,000 + Rs 1,76,000
= Rs 3,52,000
∴ The agent got a commission of Rs 3,52,000.

Question 16.
Draw a parallelogram ABCD such that l(DC) = 5.5 cm, m∠D = 45°, l(AD) = 4 cm. [Chapter 8]

∴ LT = \(\frac { 6\times 8 }{ 10 } \)
∴ LT = 4.8 units

Question 9.
In ∆ABC,seg BD bisects ∠ABC. If AB = x,BC x+ 5, AD = x – 2, DC = x + 2, then find the value of x.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Similarity Practice Set 1.2 10
Solution:
In ∆ABC, seg BD bisects ∠ABC. [Given]
∴\(\frac { AB }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { AD }{ CD } \) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
∴\(\frac { x }{ x+5 } \) = \(\frac { x-2 }{ x+2 } \)
∴ x(x + 2) = (x – 2)(x + 5)
∴ x2 + 2x = x2 + 5x – 2x – 10
∴ 2x = 3x – 10
∴ 10 = 3x – 2x
∴ x = 10

∴\(\frac { AB }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { AE }{ EB } \) (i) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
Also, in ∆ABC, ray CE bisects ∠ACB. [Given]
∴\(\frac { AC }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { AE }{ EB } \) (ii) [Property of angle bisector of a triangle]
But, seg AB = seg AC (iii) [Given]
∴\(\frac { AB }{ BC } \) = \(\frac { AE }{ EB } \) (iv) [From (ii) and (iii)]
∴\(\frac { AD }{ DC } \) = \(\frac { AE }{ EB } \) [From (i) and (iv)]

To prove: \(\frac { AB }{ AC } \) = \(\frac { BD }{ DC } \)
Construction: Draw seg DM ⊥ seg AB A – M – B and seg DN ⊥ seg AC, A – N – C.
Solution:
Proof:
In ∆ABC,
Point D is on angle bisector of ∠A. [Given]
∴DM = DN [Every point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle]
\(\frac{A(\Delta A B D)}{A(\Delta A C D)}=\frac{A B \times D M}{A C \times D N}\) [Ratio of areas of two triangles is equal to the ratio of the product of their bases and corresponding heights]
∴ \(\frac{A(\Delta A B D)}{A(\Delta A C D)}=\frac{A B}{A C}\) (ii) [From (i)]
Also, ∆ABD and ∆ACD have equal height.
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ABD})}{\mathrm{A}(\Delta \mathrm{ACD})}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{CD}}\) (iii) [Triangles having equal height]
∴\(\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{DC}}\) [From (ii) and (iii)]

iii. d(P, C)
iv. d(J, H)
v. d(K, O)
vi. d(O, E)
vii. d(P, J)
viii. d(Q, B)
Solution:
i. Co-ordinate of the point B is 2.
Co-ordinate of the point E is 5.
Since, 5 > 2
∴ d(B, E) = 5 – 2
∴ d(B, E) = 3

ii. Co-ordinate of the point J is -2.
Co-ordinate of the point A is 1.
Since, 1 > -2
∴ d(J, A) = 1 – (-2)
= 1 + 2
∴ d(J, A) = 3

iii. Co-ordinate of the point P is -4.
Co-ordinate of the point C is 3.
Since, 3 > -4
∴ d(P,C) = 3 – (-4)
= 3 + 4
∴ d(P,C) = 7

iv. Co-ordinate of the point J is -2.
Co-ordinate of the point H is -1.
Since, -1 > -2
∴ d(J,H) = – 1 – (-2)
= -1 + 2
∴ d(J,H) = 1

v. Co-ordinate of the point K is -3.
Co-ordinate of the point O is 0.
Since,0 > -3
∴ d(K, O) = 0 – (-3)
= 0 + 3
∴ d(K, O) = 3

vi. Co-ordinate of the point O is 0.
∴ Co-ordinate of the point E is 5.
Since, 5 > 0
∴ d(O, E) = 5 – 0
∴ d(O, E) = 5

vii. Co-ordinate of the point P is -4.
Co-ordinate of the point J is -2.
Since -2 > -4
∴ d(P, J) = -2 – (-4)
= – 2+ 4
∴ d(P, J) = 2

viii. Co-ordinate of the point Q is -5.
Co-ordinate of the point B is 2.
Since,2 > -5
∴ d(Q,B) = 2 – (-5)
= 2 + 5
∴ d(Q, B) = 7

Question 2.
If the co-ordinate of A is x and that of B is . y, find d(A, B).
i. x = 1, y = 7
ii. x = 6, y = -2
iii. x = -3, y = 7
iv. x = -4, y = -5
v. x = -3, y = -6
vi. x = 4, y = -8
Solution:
i. Co-ordinate of point A is x = 1.
Co-ordinate of point B is y = 7
Since, 7 > 1
∴ d(A, B) = 7 – 1
∴ d(A, B) = 6

ii. Co-ordinate of point A is x = 6.
Co-ordinate of point B is y = -2.
Since, 6 > -2
∴ d(A, B) = 6 – ( -2) = 6 + 2
∴ d(A, B) = 8

iii. Co-ordinate of point A is x = -3.
Co-ordinate of point B is y = 7.
Since, 7 > -3
∴ d(A, B) = 7 – (-3) = 7 + 3
∴ d(A, B) = 10

iv. Co-ordinate of point A is x = -4.
Co-ordinate of point B is y = -5.
Since, -4 > -5
∴ d(A, B) = -4 – (-5)
= -4 + 5
∴ d(A, B) = 1

v. Co-ordinate of point A is x =-3.
Co-ordinate of point B is y = -6.
Since, -3 > -6
∴ d(A, B) = -3 – (-6)
= -3 + 6
∴ d(A, B) = 3

vi. Co-ordinate of point A is x = 4.
Co-ordinate of point B is y = -8.
Since, 4 > -8
∴ d(A, B) = 4 – (-8)
= 4 + 8
∴d(A, B) = 12

Question 3.
From the information given below, find which of the point is between the other two. If the points are not collinear, state so.
i. d(P, R) = 7, d(P, Q) = 10, d(Q, R) = 3
ii. d(R, S) = 8, d(S, T) = 6, d(R, T) = 4
iii. d(A, B) = 16, d(C, A) = 9, d(B, C) = 7
iv. d(L, M) =11, d(M, N) = 12, d(N, L) = 8
v. d(X, Y) = 15, d(Y, Z) = 7, d(X, Z) = 8
vi. d(D, E) = 5, d(E, F) = 8, d(D, F) = 6
Solution:
i. Given, d(P, R) = 7, d(P, Q) = 10, d(Q, R) = 3
d(P, Q) = 10 …(i)
d(P, R) + d(Q, R) = 7 + 3 = 10 .. .(ii)
∴ d(P, Q) = d(P, R) + d(Q, R) …[From (i) and (ii)]
∴ Point R is between the points P and Q
i. e., P – R – Q or Q – R – P.
∴ Points P, R, Q are collinear.

ii. Given, d(R, S) = 8, d(S, T) = 6, d(R, T) = 4
d(R, S) = 8 …(i)
d(S, T) + d(R, T) = 6 + 4 = 10 …(h)
∴ d(R, S) ≠ d(S, T) + d(R, T) … [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ The given points are not collinear.

iii. Given, d(A, B) = 16, d(C, A) = 9, d(B, C) = 7
d(A, B) = 16 …(i)
d(C, A) + d(B, C) = 9 + 7 = 16 …(ii)
∴ d(A, B) = d(C, A) + d(B, C) …[From(i) and (ii)]
∴ Point C is between the points A and B.
i. e., A – C – B or B – C – A.
∴ Points A, C, B are collinear

iv. Given, d(L, M) = 11, d(M, N) = 12, d(N, L) = 8
d(M, N) = 12 …(i)
d(L, M) + d(N, L) = 11 + 8 = 19 …(ii)
∴d(M, N) + d(L, M) + d(N, L) … [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ The given points are not collinear.

v. Given, d(X, Y) = 15, d(Y, Z) = 7, d(X, Z) = 8
d(X, Y) = 15 …(i)
d(X,Z) + d(Y, Z) = 8 + 7= 15 …(ii)
∴ d(X, Y) = d(X, Z) + d(Y, Z) …[From (i) and (ii)]
∴ Point Z is between the points X and Y
i. e.,X – Z – Y or Y – Z – X.
∴ Points X, Z, Y are collinear.

vi. Given, d(D, E) = 5, d(E, F) = 8, d(D, F) = 6
d(E, F) = 8 …(i)
d(D, E) + d(D, F) = 5 + 6 = 11 …(ii)
∴ d(E, F) ≠ d(D, E) + d(D, F) … [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ The given points are not collinear.

Question 4.
On a number line, points A, B and C are such that d(A, C) = 10, d(C, B) = 8. Find d(A, B) considering all possibilities.
Solution:
Given, d(A, C) = 10, d(C, B) = 8.

Case I: Points A, B, C are such that, A – B – C.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 2
∴ d(A, C) = d(A, B) + d(B, C)
∴ 10 = d(A, B) + 8
∴ d(A, B) = 10 – 8
∴ d(A, B) = 2

Case II: Points A, B, C are such that, A – C – B.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 3
∴ d(A, B) = d(A, C) + d(C, B)
= 10 + 8
∴ d(A, B) = 18

Case III: Points A, B, C are such that, B – A – C.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 4
From the diagram,
d (A, C) > d(B, C)
Which is not possible
∴ Point A is not between B and C.
∴ d(A, B) = 2 or d(A, B) = 18.

Question 5.
Points X, Y, Z are collinear such that d(X, Y) = 17, d(Y, Z) = 8, find d(X, Z).
Solution:
Given,d(X, Y) = 17, d(Y, Z) = 8
Case I: Points X, Y, Z are such that, X – Y – Z.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 5
∴ d(X, Z) = d(X, Y) + d(Y, Z)
= 17 + 8
∴ d(X, Z) = 25

Case II: Points X, Y, Z are such that, X – Z – Y.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 6
∴ d(X,Y) = d(X,Z) + d(Z,Y)
∴ 17 = d(X, Z) + 8
∴ d(X, Z) = 17 – 8
∴ d(X, Z) = 9

Case III: Points X, Y, Z are such that, Z – X – Y.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 7
From the diagram,
d(X, Y) > d (Y, Z)
Which is not possible
∴ Point X is not between Z and Y.
∴ d(X, Z) = 25 or d(X, Z) = 9.

Question 6.
Sketch proper figure and write the answers of the following questions. [2 Marks each]
i. If A – B – C and l(AC) = 11,
l(BC) = 6.5, then l(AB) = ?
ii. If R – S – T and l(ST) = 3.7,
l(RS) = 2.5, then l(RT) = ?
iii. If X – Y – Z and l(XZ) = 3√7,
l(XY) = √7, then l(YZ) = ?
Solution:
i. Given, l(AC) =11, l(BC) = 6.5
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 8
l(AC) = l(AB) + l(BC) … [A – B – C]
∴ 11= l(AB) + 6.5
∴ l(AB) = 11 – 6.5
∴ l(AB) = 4.5

ii. Given, l(ST) = 3.7, l(RS) = 2.5
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 9
l(RT) = l(RS) + l(ST) … [R – S – T]
= 2.5 + 3.7
∴ (RT) = 6.2

iii. l(XZ) = 3√7 , l(XY) = √7,
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Basic Concepts in Geometry Practice Set 1.1 10
l(XZ) = l(X Y) + l(YZ) … [X – Y – Z]
∴ 3 √7 ⇒ √7 + l(YZ)
∴ l(YZ)= 3√7 – √7
∴ l(YZ) = 2 √7

Question 7.

Pairing off objects from two groups in different ways

(1) Ajay wants to travel light. So he took with him three shirts – one red, one green and one blue and two pairs of trousers – one white and one black. How many different ways does he have of pairing off a shirt with trousers?

Writing ‘S’ for shirt and ‘T’ for trousers, the possible different pairs are :

(2) Suresh has three balls of different colours marked A, B and C and three bats marked P, Q and R. He wishes to take only one bat and one ball to the playground. In how many ways can he pair off a ball and a bat to take with him?

How many different pairs have been shown here?

(3) The three friends, Sanju, John and Ali went to the fair. A shop there, had five different types of hats. Each of the boys had photos taken of himself, wearing every type of hat, in turn. Find how many photographs were taken in all.
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Multiplication and Division Problem Set 14 29.

How many different pairs were formed ? That is, how many photos were taken ?

Take two collections, each containing the given number of objects. Make as many different pairs as possible, taking one object from each collection every time. Thus, complete the table below.
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Multiplication and Division Problem Set 14 30

What does this table tell us ?
The number of different pairs formed by pairing off objects from two groups is equal to the product of the number of objects in the two groups.

Division
Teacher : You have learnt some things about division. For example, we know that division means making equal parts of a given number, or, subtracting a number repeatedly from a given number. What else do you know ?
Shubha : We know that we get two divisions from one multiplication. From 9 × 4 = 36, we get the divisions 36 ÷ 4 = 9 and 36 ÷ 9 = 4.
Teacher : Very good! Right now, there’s nothing new to learn about division. Only the number of digits in the dividend and the divisor will grow. Tell me what is 354 ÷ 6 ?
Sarang : 354 = 300 + 54. 300 divided by six is 50. And 54 ÷ 6 = 9. Hence the quotient is 50 + 9 = 59.
Teacher : Right! Now let’s learn, step by step, how to divide a four-digit number by a one-digit number. So now, divide 4925 by 7 and tell me the quotient and the remainder.
Shubha : We cannot divide 4 thousands by 7 into whole thousands. Now, 4 Th = 40 H. So let us instead take the 40 hundreds together with 9 hundreds and divide 49 hundreds. 49 ÷ 7 = 7. So, everyone gets 7 hundreds. Now, we cannot divide 2T equally among 7 people. So we must write 0 in the tens place in the quotient. Then on dividing 25 by seven, we get quotient 3 and the remainder is 4. Thus, the answer is quotient 703, remainder 4.
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Multiplication and Division Problem Set 14 31
Teacher : Very good ! Now divide 7439 by 9.
Sarang : It’s difficult to do this mentally. I’ll write it down on paper. The quotient is 826 and the remainder, 5.
Teacher : We use the same method to divide a four-digit number by a two-digit number. If necessary, we can prepare the table of the divisor before we start.

Study the solved examples shown below.
Example (1)
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Multiplication and Division Problem Set 14 32
Quotient 170, Remainder 4

Example (2)
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Multiplication and Division Problem Set 14 33
Quotient 305, Remainder 23

Example (3) Divide. 9842 ÷ 45
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Multiplication and Division Problem Set 14 34
We can prepare the 45 times table to do this division.
But when the divisor is a big number, we can solve the example by first guessing what the quotient will be. Let us see how to do that.
We have 0 in the thousands place in the quotient.
Now, to guess the quotient when dividing 98 by 45, look at the first digits in both – the dividend and the divisor. These are 9 and 4, respectively.
Dividing 9 by 4, we will get 2 in the quotient. Let us see if 2 times 45 can be subtracted from 98. 45 × 2 = 90. 90 < 98. So, we write 2 in the hundreds place in the quotient.
Next, dividing 84 by 45 we can easily see that as 90 > 84, we have to write 1 in the tens place in the quotient.
Now, we have to divide 392 by 45. As 3 < 4, let us look at 39, the number formed by the first 2 digits, to guess the next digit in the quotient.
4 × 9 = 36 and 36 < 39. Let us check if the next digit can be 9. 45 × 9 = 405 and 405 > 392. Therefore, 9 cannot be the next digit in the quotient.
Let us check for 8. 45 × 8 = 360. 360 < 392. So, we write 8 in the units place of the quotient.
We subtract 8 × 45 from 392 and complete the division.
The quotient is 218 and the remainder, 32.

Example (4)
If 35 kilograms of wheat cost 910 rupees, what is the rate of wheat per kg?
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Multiplication and Division Problem Set 14 35
Weight of wheat in kg × rate of wheat per kg = cost of wheat Hence, 35 × rate per kg = 910
Therefore, when we divide 910 by 35, we will get the per kg rate of wheat.
The rate per kilogram of wheat is 26 rupees.

Answer:
A WONDERFUL ACT OF BRAVERY
It was the 26th of July in Mumbai. It was raining cats and dogs. Ten-year-old Sanyogita More stood at the door of her hut. The street was flooded with water. Sanyogita was frightened. Her parents had not returned from work and she was all alone.

Suddenly, she saw two little boys, Rohan and Sohan, come out from the neighbouring hut to play in the water. As Sanyogita watched, there came a sudden gush of water and the boys were dragged towards an open manhole, which had been marked with a pole. They caught hold of the pole, but the pole began to tilt. It would soon fall—and the boys would go down the manhole!

Maharashtra Board Solutions

Sanyogita ran as fast as she could towards the boys. Pulling a rope from a nearby door, she looped it around a large stone. She held onto the rope and extended her hand towards the boys. “Catch my hand, Sohan, Rohan,” she shouted. “Catch! Catch soon!”

The boys were in a panic but they did as they were told. Sohan held Rohan’s leg, Rohan held Sanyogita’s hand, and Sanyogita held onto the rope.

“Help! Help! she shouted, knowing that if the rope broke or the stone was dislodged, they would all go into the manhole.

She stood there shivering, her arms numb, for nearly 15 minutes before help arrived. Sanyogita collapsed after the incident. The news of her brave deed spread far and wide, and reached the ears of 1 the Prime Minister, who decided to honour her with an award. And so, with tears of joy and pride, the 10- I year-old Sanyogita More received the National Bravery ‘ Award from the Prime Minister.
