## Practice Set 4.5 Algebra 9th Std Maths Part 1 Answers Chapter 4 Ratio and Proportion

Question 1.
Which number should be subtracted from 12, 16 and 21 so that resultant numbers are in continued proportion?
Solution:
Let the number to be subtracted be x.
∴ (12 – x), (16 – x) and (21 – x) are in continued proportion.

∴ 84 – 4x = 80 – 5x
∴ 5x – 4x = 80 – 84
∴ x = -4
∴ -4 should be subtracted from 12,16 and 21 so that the resultant numbers in continued proportion.

Question 2.
If (28 – x) is the mean proportional of (23 – x) and (19 – x), then find the value ofx.
Solution:
(28 – x) is the mean proportional of (23 – x) and (19-x). …[Given]

∴ -5(19 – x) = 9(28 – x)
∴ -95 + 5x = 252 – 9x
∴ 5x + 9x = 252 + 95
∴ 14x = 347
∴ x = $$\frac { 347 }{ 14 }$$

Question 3.
Three numbers are in continued proportion, whose mean proportional is 12 and the sum of the remaining two numbers is 26, then find these numbers.
Solution:
Let the first number be x.
∴ Third number = 26 – x
12 is the mean proportional of x and (26 – x).
∴ $$\frac { x }{ 12 }$$ = $$\frac { 12 }{ 26 – x }$$
∴ x(26 – x) = 12 x 12
∴ 26x – x2 = 144
∴ x2 – 26x + 144 = 0
∴ x2 – 18x – 8x + 144 = 0
∴ x(x – 18) – 8(x – 18) = 0
∴ (x – 18) (x – 8) = 0
∴ x = 18 or x = 8
∴ Third number = 26 – x = 26 – 18 = 8 or 26 – x = 26 – 8 = 18
∴ The numbers are 18, 12, 8 or 8, 12, 18.

Question 4.
If (a + b + c)(a – b + c) = a2 + b2 + c2, show that a, b, c are in continued proportion.
Solution:
(a + b + c)(a – b + c) = a2 + b2 + c2 …[Given]
∴ a(a – b + c) + b(a – b + c) + c(a – b + c) = a2 + b2 + c2
∴ a2 – ab + ac + ab – b2 + be + ac – be + c2 = a2 + b2 + c2
∴ a2 + 2ac – b2 + c2 = a2 + b2 + c2
∴ 2ac – b2 = b2
∴ 2ac = 2b2
∴ ac = b2
∴ b2 = ac
∴ a, b, c are in continued proportion.

Question 5.
If $$\frac { a }{ b }$$ = $$\frac { b }{ c }$$ and a, b, c > 0, then show that,
i. (a + b + c)(b – c) = ab – c2
ii. (a2 + b2)(b2 + c2) = (ab + be)2
iii. $$\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{a b}=\frac{a+c}{b}$$
Solution:
Let $$\frac { a }{ b }$$ = $$\frac { b }{ c }$$ = k
∴ b = ck
∴ a = bk =(ck)k
∴ a = ck2 …(ii)

i. (a + b + c)(b – c) = ab – c2
L.H.S = (a + b + c) (b – c)
= [ck2 + ck + c] [ck – c] … [From (i) and (ii)]
= c(k2 + k + 1) c (k – 1)
= c2 (k2 + k + 1) (k – 1)
R.H.S = ab – c2
= (ck2) (ck) – c2 … [From (i) and (ii)]
= c2k3 – c2
= c2(k3 – 1)
= c2 (k – 1) (k2 + k + 1) … [a3 – b3 = (a – b) (a2 + ab + b2]
∴ L.H.S = R.H.S
∴ (a + b + c) (b – c) = ab – c2

ii. (a2 + b2)(b2 + c2) = (ab + bc)2
b = ck; a = ck2
L.H.S = (a2 + b2) (b2 + c2)
= [(ck2) + (ck)2] [(ck)2 + c2] … [From (i) and (ii)]
= [c2k4 + c2k2] [c2k2 + c2]
= c2k2 (k2 + 1) c2 (k2 + 1)
= c4k2 (k2 + 1)2
R.H.S = (ab + bc)2
= [(ck2) (ck) + (ck)c]2 …[From (i) and (ii)]
= [c2k3 + c2k]2
= [c2k (k2 + 1)]2 = c4(k2 + 1)2
∴ L.H.S = R.H.S
∴ (a2 + b2) (b2 + c2) = (ab + bc)2

iii. $$\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{a b}=\frac{a+c}{b}$$

9th Standard Algebra Practice Set 4.5 Question 6. Find mean proportional of $$\frac{x+y}{x-y}, \frac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{x^{2} y^{2}}$$.
Solution:
Let a be the mean proportional of $$\frac{x+y}{x-y}$$ and $$\frac{x^{2}-y^{2}}{x^{2} y^{2}}$$

….(Subtracting 35 from both sides)
∴x = 55
∴The complementary angle of 35° is 55°.

ii. Let the measure of the complementary angle be x°.
a + x = 90

= 3x × (7x – 8y) + 2yx (7x – 8y)
= 21x² – 24xy + 14xy – 16y²
= 21x² – 10xy – 16y²

iii. (7m – 5n) – (-4n – 11m)
= 7m – 5n + 4n + 11m
= (7m + 11m) + (-5n + 4n)
= 18m – n

iv. (11m – 12n + 3p) – (9m + 7n – 8p)
= 11m – 12n + 3p – 9m – 7n + 8p
= (11m – 9m) + (-12n – 7n) + (3p + 8p)
= 2m – 19n + 11p

Question 20.
Solve the following equations:
i 4(x + 12) = 8
ii. 3y + 4 = 5y – 6
Solution:
i. 4(x + 12) = 8
∴4x + 48 = 8
∴4x + 48 – 48 = 8 – 48
….(Subtracting 48 from both sides)
∴ 4x = -40
∴ x = $$\frac { -40 }{ 4 }$$
∴ x = -10

ii. 3y + 4 = 5y – 6
∴ 3y + 4 + 6 = 5y – 6 + 6
∴ 3y + 10 = 5y
∴ 3y + 10 – 3y = 5y – 3y
….(Subtracting 3y from both sides)
∴ 10 = 2y
∴ 2y = 10
∴ y = $$\frac { 10 }{ 2 }$$
∴ y = 5

Solution:
Here, P = Rs 15000, R = 9 p.c.p.a., I = Rs 5400

∴ T = 4
∴ Angela had deposited the amount for 4 years.

Question 2.
Ten men take 4 days to complete the task of tarring a road. How many days would 8 men take?
Solution:
Let us suppose that 8 men require x days to tar the road.
Number of days required by 10 men to tar the road = 4
The number of men and the number of days required to tar the road are in inverse proportion.
∴ 8 × x = 10 x 4
∴ $$x=\frac{10 \times 4}{8}$$
∴ x = 5
∴ 8 men will require 5 days to tar the road.

Question 3.
Nasruddin and Mahesh invested Rs 40,000 and Rs 60,000 respectively to start a business. They made a profit of 30%. How much profit did each of them make?
Solution:
Total amount invested = Rs 40,000 + Rs 60,000
= Rs 1,00,000
Profit earned = 30%
∴ Total profit = 30% of 1,00,000
= $$\frac { 30 }{ 100 }$$ × 100000
= Rs 30000
Proportion of investment = 40000 : 60000
= 2:3 …. (Dividing by 20000)
Let Nasruddin’s profit be Rs 2x and Mahesh’s profit be Rs 3x.
∴ 2x + 3x = 30000
∴ 5x = 30000
∴ x = $$\frac { 30000 }{ 5 }$$.
∴ x = 6000
∴ Nasruddin’s profit = 2x = 2 × 6000 = Rs 12000
Mahesh’s profit = 3x = 3 × 6000 = Rs 18000
∴ The profits of Nasruddin and Mahesh are Rs 12000 and Rs 18000 respectively.

Question 4.
The diameter of a circle is 5.6 cm. Find its circumference.
Solution:
Diameter of the circle (d) = 5.6 cm
Circumference = πd
= $$\frac{22}{7} \times 5.6$$
= $$\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{56}{10}$$
= 17.6 cm
∴ The circumference of the circle is 17.6 cm.

Question 5.
Expand:
i. (2a – 3b)²
ii. (10 + y)²
iii. $$\left(\frac{p}{3}+\frac{q}{4}\right)^{2}$$
iv. $$\left(y-\frac{3}{y}\right)^{2}$$
Solution:
i. Here, A = 2a and B = 3b
∴ (2a – 3b)² = (2a)² – 2 × 2a × 3b + (3b)²
…. [(A – B)² = A² – 2AB + B²]
= 4a² – 12ab + 9b²

ii. Here, a = 10 and b = y
(10 + y)² = 102 + 2 × 10xy + y²
…. [(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²]
= 100 + 20y + y²

iii. Here, a = $$\frac { p }{ 3 }$$ and b = $$\frac { q }{ 4 }$$
$$\left(\frac{p}{3}+\frac{q}{4}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{p}{3}\right)^{2}+2 \times \frac{p}{3} \times \frac{q}{4}+\left(\frac{q}{4}\right)^{2}$$
…. [(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²]
$$\frac{p^{2}}{9}+\frac{p q}{6}+\frac{q^{2}}{16}$$

iv. Here, a = y and b = $$\frac { 3 }{ y }$$
$$\left(y-\frac{3}{y}\right)^{2}=y^{2}-2 \times y \times \frac{3}{y}+\left(\frac{3}{y}\right)^{2}$$
…. [(a – b)² = a² – 2ab + b²
= $$y^{2}-6+\frac{9}{y^{2}}$$

Question 6.
Use a formula to multiply:
i. (x – 5)(x + 5)
ii. (2a – 13)(2a + 13)
iii. (4z – 5y)(4z + 5y)
iv. (2t – 5)(2t + 5)
Solution:
i. Here, a = x and b = 5
(x – 5)(x + 5) = (x)² – (5)²
…. [(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²]
= x² – 25

ii. Here, A = 2a and B = 13
(2a – 13)(2a + 13) = (2a)² – (13)²
…. [(A + B)(A – B) = A² – B²]
= 4a² – 169

iii. Here, a = 4z and b = 5y
(4z – 5y)(4z + 5y) = (4z)² – (5y)²
…. [(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²]
= 16z² – 25y²

iv. Here, a = 2t and b = 5
(2t – 5)(2t + 5) = (2t)² – (5)²
…. [(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²]
= 4t² – 25

Question 7.
The diameter of the wheel of a cart is 1.05 m. How much distance will the cart cover in 1000 rotations of the wheel?
Solution:
Diameter of the wheel (d) = 1.05 m
∴ Distance covered in 1 rotation of wheel = Circumference of the wheel
= πd
= $$\frac{22}{7} \times 1.05$$
= 3.3 m
∴ Distance covered in 1000 rotations = 1000 x 3.3 m
= 3300 m
= $$\frac { 3300 }{ 1000 }$$ km …[1m = $$\frac { 1 }{ 1000 }$$km]
= 3.3 km
∴ The distance covered by the cart in 1000 rotations of the wheel is 3.3 km.

Question 8.
The area of a rectangular garden of length 40 m, is 1000 sq m. Find the breadth of the garden and its perimeter. The garden is to be enclosed by 3 rounds of fencing, leaving an entrance of 4 m. Find the cost of fencing the garden at a rate of Rs 250 per metre.
Solution:
Length of the rectangular garden = 40 m
Area of the rectangular garden = 1000 sq. m.
∴ length × breadth = 1000
∴ 40 × breadth = 1000
∴ breadth = $$\frac { 1000 }{ 40 }$$
= 25 m
Now, perimeter of the rectangular garden = 2 × (length + breadth)
= 2 (40 + 25)
= 2 × 65
= 130 m
Length of one round of fence = circumference of garden – width of the entrance
= 130 – 4
= 126 m
∴ Total length of fencing = length of one round of wire × number of rounds = 126 × 3
= 378 m
∴ Total cost of fencing = Total length of fencing × cost per metre of fencing
= 378 × 250
= 94500
∴ The cost of fencing the garden is Rs 94500.

Question 9.
From the given figure, find the length of hypotenuse AC and the perimeter of ∆ABC.
Solution:

In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°, and l(BC) = 21, and l(AB) = 20
∴ According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
∴ l(AC)² = l(BC)² + l(AB)²
∴ l(AC)² = 21² + 20²
∴ l(AC)² = 441 + 400
∴ l(AC)² = 841
∴ l(AC)² = 29²
∴ l(AC) = 29
Perimeter of ∆ABC = l(AB) + l(BC) + l(AC)
= 20 + 21 + 29
= 70
∴ The length of hypotenuse AC is 29 units, and the perimeter of ∆ABC is 70 units.

Question 10.
If the edge of a cube is 8 cm long, find its total surface area.
Solution: ,
Total surface area of the cube = 6 × (side)²

= 384 sq. cm
The total surface area of the cube is 384 sq.cm.

Question 11.
Factorize: 365y4z3 – 146y2z4
Solution:
= 365y4z3 – 146y2z4
= 73 (5y4z3 – 2y2z4)
= 73y2 (5y2z3 – 2z4)
= 73y2z3(5y2 – 2z)

Question 1.
Observe the figures given below and say which of them are quadrilaterals. (Textbook pg. no. 81)

Solution:

Question 2.
Draw a quadrilateral. Draw one diagonal of this quadrilateral and divided it into two triangles. Measures all the angles in the figure. Is the sum of the measures of the four angles of the quadrilateral equal to the sum of the measures of the six angles of the two triangles? Verity that this is so with other quadrilaterals. (Textbook pg. no. 84)
Solution:

m∠PQR = 104°
m∠QRP = 26°
m∠RPQ = 50°
m∠PRS = 34°
m∠RSP = 106°
m∠SPR = 40°
∴ Sum of the measures of the angles of quadrilateral = m∠PQR + m∠QRP + m∠RPQ + m∠PRS + m∠RSP + m∠SPR
= 104° + 26° + 50° + 34° + 106° + 40°
= 360°
Also, we observe that
Sum of the measures of the angles of quadrilateral = Sum of the measures of angles of the two triangles (PQR and PRS)
= (104°+ 26°+ 50°)+ (34° + 106° + 40°)
= 180° + 180°

i. y – 3 = 11
∴ y – 3 + 3 = 11 + 3
…. (Adding 3 to both sides)
∴ y + 0 = 14
∴ y = 14

ii. 17 = n + 7
∴ 17 – 7 = n + 7 – 7
…. (Subtracting 7 from both sides)
∴ 17 + (-7) = n + 7 – 7
∴ 10 = n
∴  n = 10

iii. 30 = 5x
∴ $$\frac{30}{5}=\frac{5x}{5}$$
…. (Dividing both sides by 5)
∴  6 = 1x
∴ 6 = x
∴  x = 6

iv. $$\frac { m }{ 2 }$$ = 14
∴ $$\frac { m }{ 2 }$$ × 2 = 14 × 2
…. (Multiplying both sides by 2)
$$\frac { m\times2 }{ 2\times1 }$$ = 28
∴ m = 28

Question 4.
Solve the following equations:
i. y – 5 = 1
ii. 8 = t + 5
iii. 4x = 52
iv. 19 = m – 4
v. $$\frac { p }{ 4 }=9$$
vi. x + 10 = 5
vi. m – 5 = -12
vii. p + 4 = -1
Solution:
i. y – 5 = 1
∴y – 5 + 5 = 1 + 5
…. (Adding 5 to both sides)
∴y + 0 = 6
∴y = 6

ii. 8 = t + 5
∴8 – 5 = t + 5 – 5
……(Subtracting 5 from both sides)
∴8 + (-5) = t + 0
∴ 3 = t
∴t = 3

iii. 4x = 52
∴$$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{52}{4}$$
…. (Dividing both sides by 4)
∴ 1x = 13
∴ x = 13

iv. 19 = m -4
∴ 19 + 4 = m – 4 + 4
…. (Adding 4 to both sides)
∴ 23 = m + 0
∴ m = 23

v. $$\frac { p }{ 4 }$$ = 9
∴ $$\frac { p }{ 4 }$$ × 4 = 9 × 4 …. (Multiplying both sides by 4)
∴ $$\frac { p\times4 }{ 4\times1 }=36$$
∴ 1p = 36
∴ p = 36

vi. x + 10 = 5
∴ x + 10 – 10 = 5 – 10
…. (Subtracting 10 from both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 5 + (-10)
∴ x = -5

vii. m – 5 = -12
∴m – 5 + 5 = – 12 + 5
…. (Adding 5 to both sides)
∴m + 0 = -7
∴m = -7

viii. p + 4 = – 1
∴p + 4 – 4 = -1 – 4
…. (Subtracting 4 from both sides)
∴p + 0 = (-1) + (-4)
∴P = -5

Question 5.
Write the given information as an equation and find its solution:
i. Haraba owns some sheep. After selling 34 of them in the market, he still has 176 sheep. How many sheep did Haraba have at first?

ii. Sakshi prepared some jam at home and filled it in bottles. After giving away 7 of the bottles to her friends she still has 12 for herself. How many bottles had she made in all? If she filled 250g of jam in each bottle, what was the total weight of the jam she made?

iii. Archana bought some kilograms of wheat. She requires 12 kg per month and she got enough wheat milled for 3 months. After that, she had 14 kg left. How much wheat had Archana bought altogether?
Solution:
i. Let the number of sheep before selling be x.
∴ x – 34 = 176
∴ x – 34 + 34 = 176 + 34 ….(Adding 34 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 210
∴ x = 210
The number of sheep with Haraba before selling is 210.

ii. Let the total number of bottles be x.
∴ x – 7 = 12
∴ x – 7 + 7 = 12 + 7 ….(Adding 7 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 19
∴ x = 19
Weight of jam in each bottle = 250g
∴ Total weight of jam = 19 × 250g = 4750 g = $$\frac { 4750 }{ 1000 }$$kg = 4.75 kg
∴ The total number of bottles of jam made by Sakshi is 19, and the total weight of jam made is 4.75 kg.

iii. Let the total wheat bought by Archana be x kg.
Wheat used in 1 month = 12 kg
∴ Wheat used in 3 months = 3 × 12 = 36 kg
∴ x – 36 = 14
∴ x – 36 + 36 = 14 + 36 ….(Adding 36 to both sides)
∴ x + 0 = 50
∴ x = 50
∴ The total amount of wheat bought by Archana was 50 kg.

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.
∴ Anita should reduce her speed by 30.6 km per hour to be within the speed limit.
