Question 1.
If 20 metres of cloth costs Rs 3600, find the cost of 16 m of cloth.
Solution:
Cost of 20 metres of cloth = Rs 3600
∴ Cost of 1 metre of cloth = \(\frac{\text { cost of } 20 \text { metres of cloth }}{20}=\frac{3600}{20}\)
= Rs 180
∴ Cost of 16 metres of cloth = Cost of 1 metre of a cloth × 16
= 180 x 16 = Rs 2880
∴ The cost of 16 metres of cloth is Rs 2880.

Question 2.
Find the cost of 8 kg of rice, if the cost of 10 kg is Rs 325.
Solution:
Cost of 10 kg rice = Rs 325
∴ Cost of 10 kg rice

Cost of 8 kg rice = Cost of 1 kg rice x 8

∴ The cost of 8 kg rice is Rs 260.

Question 3.
If 14 chairs cost Rs 5992, how much will have to be paid for 12 chairs?
Solution:
Cost of 14 chairs = Rs 5992
∴ Cost of 1 chairs

= Rs 428
∴ Cost of 12 chairs = Cost of 1 chair x 12
= 428 x 12 = Rs 5136
∴ The amount to be paid for 12 chairs is Rs 5136.

Question 4.
The weight of 30 boxes is 6 kg. What is the weight of 1080 such boxes?
Solution:
Weight of 30 boxes = 6 kg
∴ Weight of 1 box

∴ Weight of 1080 boxes = Weight of 1 box x 1080

∴ The weight of 1080 boxes is 216 kg.

Question 5.
A car travelling at a uniform speed covers a distance of 165 km in 3 hours. At that same speed,
a. How long will it take to cover a distance of 330 km?
b. How far will it travel in 8 hours?
Solution:
Distance covered in 3 hours = 165 km
Distance covered in 1 hour

= 55 km
a. Time required to covered a distance of 330 km

= 6 hours
∴ The time required to cover a distance of 330 km is 6 hours.

b. Distance traveled in 8 hours = Distance covered in 1 hour x 8
= 55 x 8 = 440 km
∴ The distance traveled in 8 hours is 440 km.

Question 6.
A tractor uses up 12 litres of diesel while ploughing 3 acres of land. How much diesel will be needed to plough 19 acres of land?
Solution:
Diesel required to plough 3 acres of land =12 litres
∴ Diesel required to plough 1 acre of land

= 4 liters
∴ Diesel required to plough 19 acres of land = Diesel required to plough 1 acre of land x 19
= 4 x 19 = 76 litres
∴ Diesel needed to plough 19 acres of land is 76 litres.

Question 7.
At a sugar factory, 5376 kg of sugar can be obtained from 48 tonnes of sugarcane. If Savitatai has grown 50 tonnes of sugarcanes, how much sugar will it yield?
Solution:
Sugar obtained from 48 tonnes of sugarcane = 5376 kg
∴ Sugar obtained from 48 tonnes of sugarcane

∴ Sugar obtained from 50 tonnes of sugarcane = Sugar obtained from 1 tonne of sugarcane x 50
= 112 x 50 = 5600 kg
∴ 50 tonnes of sugarcane will yield 5600 kg of sugar.

Question 8.
In an orchard, there are 128 mango trees in 8 rows. If all the rows have an equal number of trees, how many trees would there be in 13 rows?
Solution:
Number of mango trees in 8 rows =128
Number of mango trees in 1 row

∴ Number of mango trees in 13 rows = Number of mango trees in 1 row x 13
= 16 x 13 = 208
∴ The number of mango trees in 13 rows are 208.

Question 9.
A pond in a field holds 120000 litres of water. It costs Rs 18000 to make such a pond. How many ponds will be required to store 480000 litres of water, and what would be the expense?
Solution:
Capacity of 1 pond = 1,20,000 litres
Total quantity of water = 4,80,000 litres
∴ Number of ponds required

Amount required to make 1 pond = Rs 18,000
∴ Amount required to make 4 ponds = Amount required to make 1 pond x 4
= 18,000 x 4 = Rs 72,000
∴ The number of ponds required to store 4,80,000 litres of water is 4, and the expense incurred in making the ponds is Rs 72,000.

Balbharti Maharashtra State Board Class 6 Maths Solutions covers the Std 6 Maths Chapter 13 Profit-Loss Class 6 Practice Set 34 Answers Solutions.

6th Standard Maths Practice Set 34 Answers Chapter 13 Profit-Loss

Question 1.
Cost price Rs 1600, selling price Rs 2800.
Solution:
Sanju bought goods worth Rs 1600 and sold them for Rs 2800. What was his profit in percentage?
Cost price = Rs 1600, Selling price = Rs 2800
Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 2800 – 1600
= Rs 1200
Let Sanju make profit of x%.

∴ x = 75%
∴ Sanju made a profit of 75%.

Question 2.
Cost price Rs 2000, selling price Rs 1900.
Solution:
Rakhi bought books worth Rs 2000 and sold them for Rs 1900. What was her loss in percentage?
Cost price = Rs 2000, Selling price = Rs 1900
Loss = Cost price – Selling price .
= 2000 – 1900
= Rs 100
Let Rakhi incur a loss of x%.

∴ x = 5%
∴ Rakhi suffered a loss of 5%.

Question 3.
Cost price of 8 articles is Rs 1200 each, selling price Rs 1400 each.
Solution:
Pallavi bought 8 tables for Rs 1200 each and sold them for Rs 1400 each. What was the percentage of her profit or loss?
Cost price of 1 table = Rs 1200
∴ Cost price of 8 tables = 1200 x 8 = Rs 9600
Selling price of 1 table = Rs 1400
∴ Selling price of 8 tables = 1400 x8 = Rs 11200
Selling price is greater than the cost price.
∴ Pallavi made a profit.
∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 11200 – 9600
= Rs 1600
Let Pallavi make a profit of x%.

∴ Pallavi made a profit of \(16\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\) %.

Question 4.
Cost price of 50 kg grain Rs 2000, Selling price Rs 43 per kg.
Solution:
Ramesh bought 50 kg grains for Rs 2000 and sold it at the rate of Rs 43 per kg. Find the percentage of profit or loss.
Cost price of 50 kg grains = Rs 2000
Selling price of 1 kg grains = Rs 43
∴ Selling price of 50 kg grains= 43 x 50
= Rs 2150
Selling price is greater than the cost price.
∴ Ramesh made a profit.
∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 2150 – 2000
= Rs 150
Let Ramesh make profit of x%.

∴ Ramesh made a profit of \(7\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) %.

Question 5.
Cost price Rs 8600, Transport charges Rs 250, Portage Rs 150, Selling price Rs 10000.
Solution:
Faruk bought a fridge for Rs 8600. He spent Rs 250 on transport and Rs 150 on portage.
If he sold the fridge for Rs 10,000, what was his percent profit or loss?
Total cost price of a fridge = Cost of fridge + Transportation cost + Portage
= 8600 + 250 + 150
= Rs 9000
∴ Selling price = Rs 10,000
Selling price is greater than the total cost price.
∴ Faruk made a profit.
Profit = Selling price – Total cost price
= 10000 – 9000
= Rs 1000
Let Faruk make a profit of x% on cost price.

∴ Faruk made a profit of \(11\frac { 1 }{ 9 }\) %.

Question 6.
Seeds worth Rs 20500, Labour Rs 9700, Chemicals and fertilizers Rs 5600, selling price Rs 28640.
Solution:
Ramchandra bought sunflower seeds worth Rs 20500. He spent Rs 9700 on labour and Rs 5600 on chemicals and fertilizers. He sold it for Rs 28640. What is the percentage of profit or loss?
Total cost price = Cost of seeds + Labour cost + Cost of chemicals and Fertilizers
= 20500 + 9700 + 5600
= Rs 35800
Selling price = Rs 28,640
The total cost price is greater than selling price.
∴ Ramchandra suffered a loss.
Loss = Total cost price – Selling price
= 35800- 28640

ii. Veena has some beads. She wants to make necklaces with an equal number of beads in each. If She makes necklaces of 16 or 24 or 40 beads, there is no bead left over. What is the least number of beads with her?

iii. An equal number of laddoos have been placed in 3 different boxes. The laddoos in the first box were distributed among 20 children equally, the laddoos in the second box among 24 children and those in the third box among 12 children. Not a single laddoo was left over. What was the minimum number of laddoos in the three boxes altogether?

iv. We observed the traffic lights at three different squares on the same big road. They turn green every 60 seconds, 120 seconds and 24 seconds. When the signals are switched on at 8 o’clock in the morning, all the lights were green. How long after that will all three signals turn green simultaneously again?

v. Given the fractions \(\frac { 13 }{ 45 }\) and \(\frac { 22 }{ 75 }\). Write their equivalent fractions with same denominators and add the fractions.
Solution:
i. The lowest possible number of children is equal to the lowest common multiple of 20 and 25.
Multiples of 20 = 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200
Multiples of 25 = 25, 50, 75, 100
∴ LCM of 20 and 25 = 100
∴ The least number of students in the school is 100.

ii. The least number of beads with Veena is equal to the lowest common multiple of 16,24 and 40.
Multiples of 16 = 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, 240, 256, 272, 288
Multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216, 240
Multiples of 40 = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240
∴ LCM of 16, 24 and 40 = 240
∴ The least number of beads with Veena are 240.

iii. The lowest common multiple of 20,24 and 12 gives the minimum number of laddoos in one box.
Multiples of 20 = 20, 40, 60, 80, 100,120, 140, 160, 180, 200
Multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96, 120
Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120
∴ LCM of 20, 24 and 12 = 120
∴ Minimum number of ladoos in 1 boxes =120
∴ Minimum number of ladoos in 3 boxes = 3 x 120 = 360
∴ The minimum number of ladoos in 3 boxes are 360.

iv. All three signals will turn green for lowest common multiple of 60 seconds, 120 seconds and 24 seconds.
Multiples of 60 = 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, 480
Multiples of 120 = 120, 240, 360
Multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96, 120
LCM of 60, 120 and 24 = 120
Since, 60 seconds = 1 minute
∴ 120 seconds = 2 minutes
∴ The signals will turn green simultaneously again after 120 seconds i.e. 2 minutes.

v. The lowest common multiple of 45 and 75 gives the same denominator.
Multiples of 45 = 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, 360, 405, 450
Multiples of 75 = 75, 150, 336
∴ LCM of 45 and 75 = 225

Question 1.
Pravin, Bageshri and Yash are cousins who live in the same house. Pravin is an Army Officer. Bageshri is studying in a Medical College in another city. Yash lives in a nearby town in a hostel. Pravin can come home every 120 days.
Bageshri comes home every 45 days and Yash, every 30 days. All three of them left home at the same time on the 15th of June 2016. Their parents said, “We shall celebrate like a festival the day you all come home together.” Mother asked Yash, “What day will that be?”
Yash said, “The number of days after which we come back together must be divisible by 30, 120. That means we shall be back together on the 10th of June next year. That will certainly be a for us!”
How did Yash find the answer? (Textbook pg. no. 49)

Solution:
The day when Pravin, Bageshri and Yash come back together is lowest common multiple of 30, 45 and 120.
Multiples of 30: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180,210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360
Multiples of 45: 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, 360
Multiples of 120: 120, 240, 360
∴ They will come together after 360 days
Day when they left home = 15th June
∴ Day when they come back together = 15th June + 360 days
= 10th June next year
∴ Pravin, Bageshri and Yash will come back together on 10th June next year.

Question 2.
A Maths Riddle! (Textbook pg. no. 50)
We have four papers. On each of them there is a number on one side and some information on the other. The numbers on the papers are 7, 2, 15, 5. The information on the papers is given below in random order.
i. A number divisible by 7
ii. A prime number
iii. An odd number
iv. A number greater than 100
If the number on every paper is mismatched with the information on its other side, what is the number on the paper which says ‘A number greater than 100?
Solution:

Analysis	Reason	Outcome
The paper having information (iii) ‘an odd number’ can be mismatched with the number ‘2’ from the other available options.	Only the number ‘2’ is an even number, while the rest are odd numbers.	The number ‘2’ and (iii) ‘an odd number’ will appear on the opposite sides of the same paper.
Now, we are left with the numbers 7, 15 and 5. The paper having information (i) ‘a number divisible by 7′ can be mismatched with the number ‘5’.	The number ‘5’ is not divisible by 7.	The number ‘5’ and (i) ‘a number divisible by 7’ will appear on the opposite sides of the same paper.
Now, we are left with the numbers 7 and 15. The paper having information (ii) ‘a prime number’ can be mismatched with the number ‘15’.	The number ‘15’ is not a prime number.	Hence, the number ‘15’ and (ii) ‘a prime number’ will appear on the opposite sides of the same paper.
