Question 1.
Find the cube root of the following numbers.
i. 8000
ii. 729
iii. 343
iv. -512
v. -2744
vi. 32768
Solution:
i. 8000
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 10 × 10 × 10
= (2 × 10) × (2 × 10) × (2 × 10)
= (2 × 10)³
= 20³
∴ \(\sqrt[3]{8000}=20\)

ii. 729
= (3 × 3) × (3 × 3) × (3 × 3)
= (3 × 3)³
= 9³
∴ \(\sqrt[3]{729}=9\)

iii. 343
= 7 × 7 × 7
= 7³
∴ \(\sqrt[3]{343}=7\)

iv. -512
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 4 × 4 × 4
= (2 × 4) × (2 × 4) × (2 × 4)
= (2 × 4)³
= 8³
∴ – 512 = (- 8) × (- 8) × (- 8)
= (-8)³
∴ \(\sqrt[3]{-512}=-8\)

v. -2744
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 7
= (2 × 7) × (2 × 7) × (2 × 7)
= (2 × 7)³
= 14³
∴ -2744 = (-14) × (-14) × (-14)
= (-14)³
∴ \(\sqrt[3]{-2744}=-14\)

vi. 32768
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
= (2 × 4 × 4) × (2 × 4 × 4) × (2 × 4 × 4)
= (2 × 4 × 4)³
= 32³
∴ \(\sqrt[3]{32768}=32\)

Question 2.
Simplify:
i. \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{27}{125}}\)
ii. \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{16}{54}}\)
iii. If \(\sqrt[3]{729}=9\) then \(\sqrt[3]{0.000729}\) = ?
Solution:
i. \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{27}{125}}\)

ii. \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{16}{54}}\)

iii. \(\sqrt[3]{0.000729}\)

Question 1.
17 is a positive number. The cube of 17, which is 4913, is also a positive number. Cube of -6 is -216. Take some more positive and negative numbers and obtain their cubes. Find the relation between the sign of a number and the sign of its cube. (Textbook pg. no. 17)
Solution:
Consider, 6³ = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216 and (-4)³ = (- 4) × (- 4) × (- 4) = – 64
Thus, cube of a positive number is positive and cube of a negative number is negative.
∴ Sign of a number = sign of its cube.

Question 2.
In example 4 and 5 on textbook pg. no. 17, observe the number of decimal places in the number and number of decimal places in the cube of the number. Is there any relation between the two? (Textbook pg. no. 17)
Solution:
Yes, there is a relation between the number of decimal places in the number and its cube.
(1.2)³ = 1.728, (0.02)³ = 0.000008
No. of decimal places in 1.2 = 1
No. of decimal places in 1.728 = 3
No. of decimal places in 0.02 = 2
No. of decimal places in 0.000008 = 6
Thus, number of decimal places in cube of a number is three times the number of decimal places in that number.

i.	2000	5	2
ii.	5000	8	3
iii.	4000	7.5	2

Solution:
i. Here P = Rs 2000, R = 5 p.c.p.a. and N = 2 years

= 5 × 441
∴ A = Rs 2205
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 2205 – 2000
= Rs 205
∴ The amount is Rs 2205 and the compound interest is Rs 205.

ii. Here, P = Rs 5000, R = 8 p.c.p.a. and N = 3 years

∴ A = Rs 6298.56
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 6298.56 – 5000
= Rs 1298.56
∴ The amount is Rs 6298.56 and the compound interest is Rs 1298.56.

iii. Here, P = Rs 4000, R = 7.5 p.c.p.a. and N = 2 years

∴A = Rs 4622.50
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 4622.50 – 4000
= Rs 622.50
∴The amount is Rs 4622.50 and the compound interest is Rs 622.50.

Practice Set 12.2 8th Std Maths Answers Chapter 12 Equations in One Variable

Equation In One Variable Practice Set 12.2 Question 1.
Mother is 25 years older than her son. Find son’s age, if after 8 years ratio of son’s age to mother’s age will be \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\).
Solution:
Let the son’s present age be x years.
∴ Mother’s present age = (x + 25) years
After 8 years,
Son’s age = (x + 8) years
Mother’s age = (x + 25 + 8) = (x + 33) years
Since, the ratio of the son’s age to mother’s age after 8 years is \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\).
∴ \(\frac{x+8}{x+33}=\frac{4}{9}\)
∴ 9 (x + 8) = 4 (x + 33)
∴ 9x + 72 = 4x + 132
∴ 9x – 4x = 132 – 72
∴ 5x = 60
∴ x = \(\frac { 60 }{ 5 }\)
∴ x = 12
∴ Son’s present age is 12 years.

8th Std Maths Practice Set 12.2 Question 2.
The denominator of a fraction is greater than its numerator by 12. If the numerator is decreased by 2 and the denominator is increased by 7, the new fraction is equivalent to \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) . Find the fraction.
Solution:
Let the numerator of the fraction be x.
The denominator of a fraction is greater than its numerator by 12.
∴ Denominator of the fraction = (x + 12)
∴ The required fraction = \(\frac { x }{ x+12 }\)
For the new fraction,
numerator is decreased by 2.
∴ The new numerator = (x – 2)
Also, denominator is increased by 7.
∴ The new denominator = (x + 12) + 7
= (x + 19)
Since, the new fraction is equivalent to \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\).
∴ \(\frac{x-2}{x+19}=\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ 2(x – 2) = 1(x + 19)
∴ 2x – 4 = x + 19
∴ 2x – x = 19 + 4
∴ x = 23
∴ The required fraction = \(\frac{x}{x+12}=\frac{23}{23+12}=\frac{23}{35}\)
∴ The required fraction is \(\frac { 23 }{ 35 }\)

Practice Set 12.2 Class 8 Question 3.
The ratio of the weights of copper and zinc in brass is 13:7. Find the weight of zinc in a brass utensil weighing 700 gm.
Solution:
Let the weight of zinc in the brass utensil be x gm.
Since, the ratio of the weights of copper to zinc in brass is 13:7.

∴ Weight of copper in the brass utensil = \(\left(\frac{13}{7} x\right)\) gm
The weight of the brass utensil = 700 gm
∴ \(\frac { 13 }{ 7 }x+x=700\)
∴ \(\frac { 13 }{ 7 }x\) x × 7 + x × 7 = 700 × 7
∴ 13x + 7x = 4900
∴ 20x = 4900
∴ \(x=\frac { 4900 }{ 20 }\)
∴ x = 245
∴ The weight of zinc in the brass utensil is 245 gm.

Practice Set 12.2 8th Class Question 4.
Find three consecutive whole numbers whose sum is more than 45 but less than 54.
Solution:
Let the three consecutive whole numbers be (x – 1), x and (x + 1).
∴ Sum of the three numbers
= (x – 1) + x + (x + 1)
= 3x
Given that, the sum of the three numbers is greater than 45 and less than 54.
When the sum of the three numbers is 45,
3x = 45
∴ x = \(\frac { 45 }{ 3 }\)
∴ x = 15
When the sum of the three numbers is 54,
∴ 3x = 54
∴ x = \(\frac { 54 }{ 3 }\)
∴ x = 18
∴ the value of x is greater than 15 and less than 18.
∴ the value of x is either 16 or 17

Case I:
If the value of x is 16, then the three consecutive whole numbers are
(16 – 1), 16,(16 + 1)i.e., 15, 16, 17

Case II:
If the value of x is 17, then the three consecutive whole numbers are (17 – 1), 17, (17 + 1) i.e., 16, 17, 18.
∴ The three consecutive whole numbers are 15, 16, 17 or 16, 17, 18.

Practice Set 12.2 8th Standard Question 5.
In a two-digit number, digit at the ten’s place is twice the digit at unit’s place. If the number obtained by interchanging the digits is added to the original number, the sum is 66. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the digit at unit’s place be x.
The digit at the ten’s place is twice the digit at unit’s place.
∴ The digit at ten’s place = 2x

	Digit in units place	Digit in tens place	Number
Original Number	x	2x	(2x × 10) + x = 20x + x = 21x
New Number	2x	x	(x × 10) + 2x = 10x + 2x = 12x

Since, the sum of the original number and the new number is 66.
∴ 21x + 12x = 66
∴ 33x = 66
∴ x = \(\frac { 66 }{ 33 }\)
∴ x = 2
∴ Original number = 21x = 21 × 2 = 42
∴ the original number is 42.

8th Standard Maths Practice Set 12.2 Question 6.
Some tickets of Rs 200 and some of Rs 100, of a drama in a theatre were sold. The number of tickets of Rs 200 sold was 20 more than the number of tickets of Rs 100. The total amount received by the theatre by sale of tickets was Rs 37000. Find the number of Rs 100 tickets sold.
Solution:
Let the number of tickets sold of Rs 100 be x.
The number of tickets of Rs 200 sold was 20 more than the number of tickets of Rs 100.
∴ Number of tickets sold of Rs 200 = (x + 20)
∴ Total amount received by the theatre through the sale of tickets = 100 × x + 200 × (x + 20)
= 100x + 200x + 4000
= 300x + 4000
Since, the total amount received by the theatre through the sale of tickets = Rs 37000
∴ 300x + 4000 = 37000
∴ 300x = 37000 – 4000
∴ 300x = 33000
∴ \(x=\frac { 33000 }{ 300 }\)
∴ x = 110
∴ 110 tickets of Rs 100 were sold.

8th Maths Practice Set 12.2 Question 7.
Of the three consecutive natural numbers, five times the smallest number is 9 more than four times the greatest number, find the numbers.
Solution:
Let the three consecutive natural numbers be (x – 1), x and (x + 1).
Here, the smallest number is (x – 1) and the greatest number is (x + 1).
Since, five times the smallest number is 9 more than four times the greatest number.
∴ 5 × (x – 1) = [4 × (x + 1)] + 9
∴ 5x – 5 = 4x + 4 + 9
∴ 5x – 5 = 4x + 13
∴ 5x – 4x = 13 + 5
∴ x = 18 .
∴ the three numbers are (18 – 1), 18, (18 + 1)
i. e., 17, 18, 19
∴ The three consecutive natural numbers are 17,18 and 19.

Raju Sold A Bicycle to Amit at 8 Question 8.
Raju sold a bicycle to Amit at 8% profit. Amit repaired it spending Rs 54. Then he sold the bicycle to Nikhil for Rs 1134 with no loss and no profit. Find the cost price of the bicycle for which Raju purchased it.
Solution:
Let the cost price at which Raju purchased the bicycle be Rs x.
Since, Raju sold the bicycle at 8% profit to Amit.
∴ Selling price of bicycle for Raju = x + 8% of x

Since, Amit spent Rs 54 on repairing the bicycle and then sold it to Nikhil for Rs 1134, at no loss and no profit.
∴ Selling price of bicycle + repairing cost = Rs 1134

∴ The cost price of the bicycle at which Raju purchased it is Rs 1000.

Class 8 Maths Practice Set 12.2 Question 9.
A cricket player scored 180 runs in the first match and 257 runs in the second match. Find the number of runs he should score in the third match so that the average of runs in the three matches be 230.
Solution:
Let the number of runs required by the cricket player to score in the third match be x.
Number of runs scored by the player in first match = 180
Number of runs scored in second match = 257
∴ Total runs scored by the player = 180 + 257 + x = 437 + x
Average of runs in the three matches = \(\frac { 437+x }{ 3 }\)
Since, the average of runs should be 230.
\(\frac { 437+x }{ 3 }=230\)
∴ 437 + x = 230 × 3
∴ 437 + x = 690
∴ x = 690 – 437
∴ x = 253
∴ The cricket player should score 253 runs in the third match.

8th Class Math Practice Set 12.2 Question 10.
Sudhir’s present age is 5 more than three times the age of Viru. Anil’s age is half the age of Sudhir. If the ratio of the sum of Sudhir’s and Viru’s age to three times Anil’s age is 5:6, then find Viru’s age.
Solution:
Let Viru’s present age be x years.
Sudhir’s present age is 5 more than three times the age of Viru.
∴ Sudhir’s present age = (3x + 5) years
Anil’s age is half the age of Sudhir.
∴ Anil’s present age = \(\left(\frac{3 x+5}{2}\right)\) years
Since, the ratio of the sum of Sudhir’s and Viru’s age to three times Anil’s age is 5:6.

∴ 2 × (24x + 30) = 45x + 75
∴ 48x + 60 = 45x + 75
∴ 48x – 45x = 75 – 60
∴ 3x = 15
∴ x = \(\frac { 15 }{ 3 }\)
∴ x = 5
∴ Viru’s present age is 5 years.

Question 1.
Questions and their alternative answers are given. Choose the correct alternative answer.
i. Find the circumference of a circle whose area is 1386 cm²? [Chapter 15]
(A) 132 cm²
(B) 132 cm
(C) 42 cm
(D) 21 cm²
Solution:
(B) 132 cm

Hint:
i. Area of the circle = πr²
1386 = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r²
r² = 1386 x \(\frac { 7 }{ 22 }\)
= 63 x 7
= 441
r = √441 … [Taking square root of both sides]
= 21 cm
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 x \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 21
= 132 cm

ii. The side of a cube is 4 m. If it is doubled, how many times will be the volume of the new cube, as compared with the original cube? [Chapter 16]
(A) Two times
(B) Three times
(C) Four times
(D) Eight times
Solution:
(D) Eight times

Hint:
ii. Original volume = (4)³ = 64 cu.m
New side = 8 m
∴ New volume = (8)² = 512 cu.m
Now, \(\frac{\text { new volume }}{\text { original volume }}=\frac{512}{64}\) = 8
original volume 64
∴ volume of new cube will increase 8 times as compared to the volume of original cube.

Question 5.
In ☐ABCD, side AB || side DC, seg AE ⊥ seg DC. If l(AB) = 9 cm, l(AE) = 10 cm, A(☐ABCD) = 115 cm² , find l(DC). [Chapter 15]
Solution:
Given, side AB || side DC.
∴ ☐ABCD is a trapezium.

Given, l(AB) = 9 cm, l(AE) = 10 cm,
A(☐ABCD) = 115 cm²
Area of a trapezium
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
∴ A(☐ABCD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(AB) + l(DC) x l(AE)]
∴ 115 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [9 + l(DC)] x 10
∴ \(\frac { 115 \times 2 }{ 10 }\) = 9 + l(DC)
∴ 23 = 9 + l(DC)
∴ l(DC) = 23 – 9
∴ l(DC) = 14cm

Question 6.
The diameter and height of a cylindrical tank is 1.75 m and 3.2 m respectively. How much is the capacity of tank in litre?
[π = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\)] [Chapter 16]
Solution:
Given: For cylindrical tank:
diameter (d) = 1.75 m, height (h) = 3.2 m
To Find: Capacity of tank in litre
diameter (d) = 1.75 m
= 1.75 x 100
….[∵ 1 m = 100cm]
= 175 cm
∴ radius (r) = \(=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}=\frac{175}{2}\) cm
h = 3.2 cm
= 3.2 x 100
= 320 cm
Capacity of tank = Volume of the cylindrical tank
= πr²h

∴ The capacity of the tank is 7700 litre.

Question 7.
The length of a chord of a circle is 16.8 cm, radius is 9.1 cm. Find its distance from the centre. [Chapter 17]
Solution:

Let CD be the chord of the Circle with centre O.
Draw seg OP ⊥ chord CD
∴l(PD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(CD)
…[Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to its chord bisects the chord]
∴l(PD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 16.8 …[l(CD) = 16.8cm]
∴l(PD) = 8.4 cm …(i)
∴In ∆OPD, m∠OPD = 90°
∴[l(OD)]² = [l(OP)]² + [l(PD)]² …..[Pythagoras theorem]
∴(9.1)² = [l(OP)]² + (8.4)² … [From (i) and l(OD) = 9.1 cm]
∴(9.1)² – (8.4)² = [l(OP)]²
∴(9.1 + 8.4) (9.1 – 8.4) = [l(OP)]²
…[∵ a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b)]
∴17.5 x (0.7) = [l(OP)]²
∴12.25 = [l(OP)]²
i.e., [l(OP)]² = 12.25
∴l(OP) = √12.25
…[Taking square root of both sides]
∴l(OP) = 3.5 cm
∴The distance of the chord from the centre is 3.5 cm.

Question 8.

Total	375	400	300	250
Percentage of females	40%	60%	30%	56%
Percentage of males	60%	40%	70%	44%

Question 9.
Solve the following equations.
i. 17 (x + 4) + 8 (x + 6) = 11 (x + 5) + 15 (x + 3)
ii. \(\frac{3 y}{2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
iii. 5(1 – 2x) = 9(1 -x)
[Chapter 12]
Solution:
i. 17 (x + 4) + 8 (x + 6) = 11 (x + 5) + 15 (x + 3)
∴ 17x + 68 + 8x + 48 = 11x + 55 + 15x + 45
∴ 17x + 8x + 68 + 48 = 11x + 15x + 55 + 45
∴ 25x + 116 = 26x + 100
∴ 25x + 116 – 116 = 26x + 100 – 116
… [Subtracting 116 from both the sides]
∴ 25x = 26x – 16
∴ 25x – 26x = 26x – 16 – 26x
… [Subtracting 26x from both the sides]
∴ -x = -16
∴ \(\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-16}{-1}\)
∴ x = 16

ii. \(\frac{3 y}{2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{3 y \times 2}{2 \times 2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{6 y}{4}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{6 y}{4} \times 4+\frac{y+4}{4} \times 4=5 \times 4-\frac{y-2}{4} \times 4\)
……[Multiplying both the sides by 4]
∴ 6y + y + 4 = 20 – (y – 2)
∴ 7y + 4 = 20 – y + 2
∴ 7y + 4 = 22 – y
∴ 7y + 4 – 4 = 22 – y – 4
…..[Subtracting 4 from both the sides]
∴ 7y = 18 – y
∴ 7y + y = 18 – y + y
…[Adding y on both the sides]
∴ 8y = 18
∴ \(\frac{8 y}{8}=\frac{18}{8}\) … [Dividing both the sides by 8]
∴ \(y=\frac { 9 }{ 4 }\)

iii. 5(1 – 2x) = 9(1 – x)
∴ 5 – 10x = 9 – 9x
∴ 5 – 10x – 5 = 9 – 9x – 5
….[Subtracting 5 from both the sides]
∴ -10x = 4 – 9x
∴ -10x + 9x = 4 – 9x + 9x
… [Adding 9x on both the sides]
∴ -x = 4
∴ -x x (- 1) = 4 x (- 1)
… [Multiplying both the sides by – 1]
∴ x = – 4

Question 10.

Solution:
a.

b. In ∆ADC and ∆ABC,
side AD ≅ side AB …..[Sides of a rhombus]
side DC ≅ side BC …..[Sides of a rhombus]
side AC ≅ side AC … [Common side]
∆ADC ≅ ∆ABC … [By SSS test]
∠DCA ≅ ∠BCA …[Corresponding angles of congruent triangles]
∠DAC ≅ ∠BAC …[Corresponding angles of congruent triangles]
From the above steps, property of rhombus revealed is ‘diagonal of a rhombus bisect the opposite angles’.

Question 11.
The shape of a farm is a quadrilateral. Measurements taken of the farm, by naming its corners as P, Q, R, S in order are as follows. l(PQ) = 170 m,
l(QR) = 250 m, l(RS) = 100 m, l(PS) = 240 m, l(PR) = 260 m.
Find the area of the field in hectare (1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m). [Chapter 15]
Solution:

Area of the field = A(∆PQR) + A(∆PSR)
In ∆PQR, a = 170 m, b = 250 m, c = 260 m
Semiperimeter of ∆PQR = s

Area of the field = A(∆PQR) + A(∆PSR)
= 20400 + 12000
= 32400 sq.m
= \(\frac { 32400 }{ 10000 }\)
…[1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m]
= 3.24 hectares
∴ The area of the field is 3.24 hectares.

Question 12.
In a library, 50% of total number of books is of Marathi. The books of English are \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) of Marathi books. The books on Mathematics are 25% of the English books. The remaining 560 books are of other subjects. What is the total number of books in the library? [Chapter 12]
Solution:
Let the total number of books in the library be x
50% of total number of books is of Marathi.
Number of Marathi books = 50% of x
= \(\frac { 50 }{ 100 }x\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 2 }\)
The books of English are \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) of Marathi books.
Number of books of English = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{x}{2}\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 6 }\)
The books on Mathematics are 25% of the English books.
Number of books of Mathematics
= 25% of \(\frac { x }{ 6 }\)
= \(\frac{25}{100} \times \frac{x}{6}\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 24 }\)
Since, there are 560 books of other subjects, the total number of books in the library are


∴ 24x – 17x = 17x + 13440 – 17x
∴ 7x = 13440
∴ \(\frac{7 x}{7}=\frac{13440}{7}\)
∴ x = 1920
∴ The total number of books in the library are 1920.

Question 7.
The calculated mean of 50 observations was 80. It was later discovered that observation 19 was recorded by mistake as 91. What Was the correct mean?
Solution:
Here, mean = 80, number of observations = 50
\( \text { Mean }=\frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)
∴ The sum of all observations = Mean x Total number of observations
∴ The sum of 50 observations = 80 x 50
= 4000
One of the observation was 19. However, by mistake it was recorded as 91.
Sum of observations after correction = sum of 50 observation + correct observation – incorrect observation
= 4000 + 19 – 91
= 3928
∴ Corrected mean

= 78.56
∴ The corrected mean is 78.56.

Question 8.
Following 10 observations are arranged in ascending order as follows. 2, 3 , 5 , 9, x + 1, x + 3, 14, 16, 19, 20. If the median of the data is 11, find the value of x.

∴ Number if observations (n) = 10 (i.e., even)
∴ Median is the average of middle two observations
Here, the 5th and 6th numbers are in the middle position.
∴ \( \text { Median }=\frac{(x+1)+(x+3)}{2}\)
∴ 11 = \(\frac { 2x+4 }{ 2 }\)
∴ 22 = 2x + 4
∴ 22 – 4 = 2x
∴ 18 = 2x
∴ x = 9

Question 9.
The mean of 35 observations is 20, out of which mean of first 18 observations is 15 and mean of last 18 observations is 25. Find the 18th observation.
Solution:
\( \text { Mean }=\frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)
∴ The sum of all observations
= Mean x Total number of observations
The mean of 35 observations is 20
∴ Sum of 35 observations = 20 x 35 = 700 ,..(i)
The mean of first 18 observations is 15
Sum of first 18 observations =15 x 18
= 270 …(ii)
The mean of last 18 observations is 25 Sum of last 18 observations = 25 x 18
= 450 …(iii)
∴ 18^th observation = (Sum of first 18 observations + Sum of last 18 observations) – (Sum of 35 observations)
= (270 + 450) – (700) … [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
= 720 – 700 = 20
The 18^th observation is 20.

Question 10.
The mean of 5 observations is 50. One of the observations was removed from the data, hence the mean became 45. Find the observation which was removed.
Solution:
\( \text { Mean }=\frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)
∴ The sum of all observations = Mean x Total number of observations
The mean of 5 observations is 50
Sum of 5 observations = 50 x 5 = 250 …(i)
One observation was removed and mean of remaining data is 45.
Total number of observations after removing one observation = 5 – 1 = 4
Now, mean of 4 observations is 45.
∴ Sum of 4 observations = 45 x 4 = 180 …(ii)
∴ Observation which was removed
= Sum of 5 observations – Sum of 4 observations = 250 – 180 … [From (i) and (ii)]
= 70
∴ The observation which was removed is 70.

Question 11.
There are 40 students in a class, out of them 15 are boys. The mean of marks obtained by boys is 33 and that for girls is 35. Find out the mean of all students in the class.
Solution:
Total number of students = 40
Number of boys =15
∴ Number of girls = 40 – 15 = 25
The mean of marks obtained by 15 boys is 33
Here, sum of the marks obtained by boys
= 33 x 15
= 495 …(i)
The mean of marks obtained by 25 girls is 35 Sum of the marks obtained by girls = 35 x 25
= 875 …(ii)
Sum of the marks obtained by boys and girls = 495 + 875 … [From (i) and (ii)]
= 1370
∴ Mean of all the students

= 34.25
∴ The mean of all the students in the class is 34.25.

A two digit number is 3 more than 4 times the sum of its digits. If 18 is added to this number, the sum is equal to the number obtained by interchanging the digits. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the digit in unit’s place be ‘x’ and the digit in ten’s place be ‘y’.

According to the first condition,
a two digit number is 3 more than 4 times the sum of its digits.
10y + x = 4(x + y) + 3
∴ 10y + x = 4x + 4y + 3
∴ x – 4x + 10y – 4y = 3
∴ – 3x + 6y = 3
Dividing both sides by -3,
x – 2y = -1 …(i)
According to the second condition,
if 18 is added to the number, the sum is equal to the number obtained by interchanging the digits.
10y + x + 18= 10x + y
∴ x – 10x + 10y – y = -18
∴ – 9x + 9y = -18
Dividing both sides by – 9,
x – y = 2 ……(ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i),

∴ y = 3
Substituting y = 3 in equation (ii),

According to the first condition,
the total cost of 8 books and 5 pens is ₹ 420.
∴ 8x + 5y = 420 …(i)
According to the second condition, the total cost of 5 books and 8 pens is ₹ 321.
5x + 8y = 321 ….(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 5,
40x + 25y = 2100 …(iii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 8,
40x + 64y = 2568 … (iv)
Subtracting equation (iii) from (iv),

∴ y = 12
Substituting y = 12 in equation (i),
8x + 5y = 420
∴ 8x + 5(12) = 420
∴ 8x + 60 = 420
∴ 8x = 420 – 60
∴ 8x = 360
∴ x = \(\frac { 360 }{ 8 }\)
∴ x = 45
Cost of 1 book and 2 pens = x + 2y
= 45 + 2(12)
= 45 + 24
= ₹69
∴ The cost of 1 book and 2 pens is ₹69.

Question 7.
The ratio of incomes of two persons is 9 : 7. The ratio of their expenses is 4 : 3. Every person saves ₹ 200, find the income of each.
Solution:
Let the income of first person be ₹ x and that of second person be ₹ y.
According to the first condition,
the ratio of their incomes is 9 : 7.
∴ \(\frac { x }{ y }\) = \(\frac { 9 }{ 7 }\)
∴ 7x = 9y
∴ 7x – 9y = 0 …….(i)
Each person saves ₹ 200.
Expenses of first person = Income – Saving = x – 200
Expenses of second person = y – 200
According to the second condition,
the ratio of their expenses is 4 : 3
∴ \(\frac { x – 200 }{ y – 200 }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\)
∴ 3(x – 200) = 4(y – 200)
∴ 3x – 600 = 4y – 800
∴ 3x – 4y = – 800 + 600
∴ 3x – 4y = -200 …(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 4,
28x-36y =0 …(iii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 9,
27x-36y = -1800 …(iv)
Subtracting equation (iv) from (iii),

Substituting x = 1800 in equation (i),
7x – 9y = 0
∴ 7(1800) – 9y = 0
∴ 9y = 7 x 1800
∴ y = \(\frac { 7 \times 1800 }{ 9 }\)
y = 7 x 200
∴ y = 1400
∴ The income of first person is ₹ 1800 and that of second person is ₹ 1400.

Question 8.
If the length of a rectangle is reduced by 5 units and its breadth is increased by 3 units, then the area of the rectangle is reduced by 9 square units. If length is reduced by 3 units and breadth is increased by 2 units, then the area of rectangle will increase by 67 square units. Then find the length and breadth of the rectangle.
Solution:
Let the length of the rectangle be ‘x’ units and the breadth of the rectangle be ‘y’ units.
Area of the rectangle = xy sq. units
length of the rectangle is reduced by 5 units
∴ length = x – 5
breadth of the rectangle is increased by 3 units
∴ breadth = y + 3
area of the rectangle is reduced by 9 square units
∴ area of the rectangle = xy – 9
According to the first condition,
(x – 5)(y + 3) = xy – 9
∴ xy + 3x – 5y – 15 = xy – 9
∴ 3x – 5y = -9 + 15
∴ 3x – 5y = 6 …(i)
length of the rectangle is reduced by 3 units
∴ length = x – 3
breadth of the rectangle is increased by 2 units
∴ breadth = y + 2
area of the rectangle is increased by 67 square units
∴ area of the rectangle = xy + 61
According to the second condition,
(x – 3)(y + 2) = xy + 67
∴ xy + 2x – 3y – 6 = xy + 67
∴ 2x – 3y = 67 + 6
∴ 2x – 3y = 73 …(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 3,
9x – 15y = 18 . ..(iii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 5,
10x – 15y = 365 …(iv)
Subtracting equation (iii) from (iv), 10x- 15y= 365 9x-15y= 18

Substituting x = 347 in equation (ii),
2x – 3y = 73
∴ 2(347) – 3y = 73
∴ 694 – 73 = 3y
∴ 621 = 3y
∴ y = \(\frac { 621 }{ 3 }\)
∴ y = 207
∴ The length and breadth of rectangle are 347 units and 207 units respectively.

Question 9.
The distance between two places A and B on a road is 70 kilometres. A car starts from A and the other from B. If they travel in the same direction, they will meet in 7 hours. If they travel towards each other they will meet in 1 hour, then find their speeds.
Solution:
Let the speed of the car starting from A (first car) be ‘x’ km/hr and that starting from B (second car) be ‘y’ km/hr. (x > y)
According to the first condition,
Distance covered by the first car in 7 hours = 7x km
Distance covered by the second car in 7 hours = 7y km

If the cars are travelling in the same direction, 7x – 7y = 70
Dividing both sides by 7,
x – y = 10 …(i)
According to the second condition,
Distance covered by the first car in
1 hour = x km
Distance covered by the second car in 1 hour = y km

If the cars are travelling in the opposite direction
x + y = 70 …(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii),

∴ x = 40
Substituting x = 40 in equation (ii), x + y = 70
∴ 40 +y = 70
∴ y = 70 – 40 = 30
∴ The speed of the cars starting from places A and B are 40 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively.

Question 10.
The sum of a two digit number and the number obtained by interchanging its digits is 99. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the digit in unit’s place be ‘x’ and the digit in ten’s place be ‘y’.

According to the given condition,
the sum of a two digit number and the number
obtained by interchanging its digits is 99.
∴ 10y + x + 10x +y = 99
∴ 11x + 11y = 99
Dividing both sides by 11,
x + y = 9
If y = 1, then x = 8
If y = 2, then x = 7
If y = 3, then x = 6 and so on.
∴ The number can be 18, 27, 36, … etc.
