Question 4.
Avinash traveled 42 km 365 m by bus, 12 km 460 in by car and walked 640 m. How many kilometers did he travel altogether? (Write your answer in decimal fractions)
Solution:
Distance traveled in bus = 42 km 365 m
= 42 km + \(\frac { 365 }{ 1000 }\) km
= 42 km + 0.365 km

= 42.365 km
Distance travelled in car = 12 km 460 m
= 12 km + \(\frac { 460 }{ 1000 }\) km
= 12 km + 0.460 km

= 12.460 km
Distance walked = 640 m
= \(\frac { 640 }{ 1000 }\) = 0.640 km
∴ Total distance travelled = Distance travelled in bus + Distance travelled in car + Distance walked
= 42.365 + 12.460 + 0.640

= 55.465 km
∴ Distance travelled altogether by Avinash is 55.465 km.

Question 5.
Ayesha bought 1.80 m of cloth for her salwaar and 2.25 for her kurta. If the cloth costs Rs 120 per metre, how much must she pay the shopkeeper?
Solution:
Total length of cloth bought = 1.80 m + 2.25 m
= 4.05 m

Cost of 1 m of cloth = Rs 120
∴ Cost of 4.05 m of cloth = 4.05 x 120

∴ Amount to be paid to the shopkeeper is Rs 486.

Question 6.
Sujata bought a watermelon weighing 4.25 kg and gave 1 kg 750 g to the children in her neighbourhood. How much of it does she have left?
Solution:
Total weight of watermelon = 4.25 kg
Weight of watermelon given to children = 1 kg 750 g
= 1 kg + \(\frac { 750 }{ 1000 }\) kg
= 1 kg + 0.75 kg

= 1.75 kg
∴ Weight of watermelon left = Total weight of watermelon – Weight of watermelon given to children
= 4.25 kg – 1.75 kg

= 2.5 kg
∴ Weight of watermelon left with Sujata is 2.5 kg.

Question 7.
Anita was driving at a speed of 85.6 km per hour. The road had a speed limit of 55 km per hour. By how much should she reduce her speed to be within the speed limit?
Solution:
Speed at which Anita is driving = 85.6 km per hr.
Speed limit = 55 km per hr.
∴ Anita should reduce her speed by 85.6 km per hr – 55 km per hr.

= 30.6 km per hr.

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?

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%.
