Std 6 Maths Practice Set 35 Solutions Answers

Question 1.
At a rate of 10 p.c.p.a., what would be the interest for one year on Rs 6000?
Solution:
Principal Amount = Rs 6000
Rate of Interest = 10 p.c.p.a.
Let interest on principal Rs 6000 be Rs x.
By taking ratio of the interest to the principal for both, we obtain an equation x 10

∴ The interest for one year is Rs 600.

Question 2.
Mahesh deposited Rs 8650 in a bank at a rate of 6 p.c.p.a. How much money will he get at the end of the year in all?
Solution:
Principal Amount = Rs 8650
Rate of interest = 6 p.c.p.a.
Let interest on principal Rs 8650 be Rs x
By taking ratio of the interest to the principal for both, we obtain an equation

∴ Amount received at the end of the year = Principal amount + Interest
= Rs 8650 + Rs 519
= Rs 9169
∴ Mahesh will get Rs 9169 at the end of the year.

Question 3.
Ahmad Chacha borrowed Rs 25,000 at 12 p.c.p.a. for a year. What amount will he have to return to the bank at the end of the year?
Solution:
Principal Amount = Rs 25,000
Rate of interest = 12 p.c.p.a.
Let interest on principal Rs 25,000 be Rs x
By taking ratio of the interest to the principal for both, we obtain an equation

Amount to be returned to the bank at the end of the year = Principal Amount + Interest
= Rs 25,000 + Rs 3,000
= Rs 28,000
Ahmad Chacha has to return Rs 28,000 to the bank at the end of the year.

Question 4.
Kisanrao wanted to make a pond in his field. He borrowed Rs 35,250 from a bank at an interest rate of 6 p.c.p.a. How much interest will he have to pay to the bank at the end of the year?
Solution:
Principal Amount = Rs 35,250
Rate of interest = 6 p.c.p.a.
Let interest on principal Rs 35,250 be Rs x
By taking ratio of the interest to the principal for both, we obtain an equation

∴ Kisanrao will have to pay an interest of Rs 2115 to the bank at the end of the year.

Profit-Loss Class 6 Maths Chapter 13 Practice Set 34 Solutions Maharashtra Board

Std 6 Maths Practice Set 34 Solutions Answers

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
= Rs 7160
Let Ramchandra incur a loss of x%.

∴ x = 20%
∴ Ramchandra incurred a loss of 20%.

Question 2.
Solve the following problems:
i. On the playground, if the children are made to stand for drill either 20 to a row or 25 to a row, all rows are complete and no child is left out. What is the lowest possible number of children in that school?

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.

Maganlal bought trousers for Rs 400 and a shirt for Rs 200 and sold them for Rs 448 and Rs 250 respectively. Which of these transactions was more profitable?
Solution:
Cost price of trousers = Rs 400
Selling price of trousers = Rs 448
Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 448 – 400 = Rs 48
Let Maganlal make x % profit on selling trousers

∴ x = 12%
Cost price of shirt = Rs 200
Selling price of shirt = Rs 250
∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 250 – 200
= Rs 50
Let Maganlal make y% profit on selling shirt.

∴ y = 25%
∴ Transaction involving selling of shirt was more profitable.

Question 2.
Ramrao bought a cupboard for Rs 4500 and sold it for Rs 4950. Shamrao bought a sewing machine for Rs 3500 and sold it for Rs 3920. Whose transaction was more profitable?
Solution:
Cost price of cupboard = Rs 4500
Selling price of cupboard = Rs 4950
∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 4950 – 4500
= Rs 450
Let Ramrao make x% profit on selling cupboard

∴ x = 10%
Cost price of sewing machine = Rs 3500
Selling price of sewing machine = Rs 3920
∴Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 3920 – 3500
