Question 3.
Solve:
i. Suyash bought \(2\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) kg of sugar and Ashish bought \(3\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) kg. How much sugar did they buy altogether? If sugar costs Rs 32 per kg, how much did they spend on the sugar they bought?

ii. Aradhana grows potatoes in \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) part of her garden, greens in \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) part and brinjals in the remaining part. On how much of her plot did she plant brinjals?

iii. Sandeep filled water in \(\frac { 4 }{ 7 }\) of an empty tank. After that, Ramakant filled \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) part more of the same tank. Then Umesh used \(\frac { 3 }{ 14 }\) part of the tank to water the garden. If the tank has a maximum capacity of 560 litres, how many litres of water will be left in the tank?
Solution:
i. Sugar bought by Suyash = \(2\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) kg
Sugar bought by Ashish = \(3\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) kg
∴ Total sugar bought by both
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Operations on Fractions Practice Set 10 9
Cost of 1 kg of sugar = Rs 32
∴ Cost of 6 kg of sugar = 32 x 6
= Rs 192
∴ They bought 6 kg sugar altogether and the total money spent on sugar is Rs 192.

ii. Part of garden occupied by potatoes = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\)
Part of garden occupied by greens = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\)
Since brinjals are planted in the remaining part,
∴ (Part occupied by potatoes) + (part occupied by greens) + (part occupied by brinjals) = 1 entire garden.
∴ Part of garden occupied by brinjals = 1 – (part of garden occupied by potatoes + part of garden occupied by greens)
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Operations on Fractions Practice Set 10 10
∴ Aradhana planted brinjals on \(\frac { 4 }{ 15 }\) part of her plot.

iii. Part of tank filled by Sandeep = \(\frac { 4 }{ 7 }\)
Part of tank filled by Ramakant = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\)
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Operations on Fractions Practice Set 10 11
Since maximum capacity of tank is 560 litres
∴ Quantity of water left in tank = \(\frac { 17 }{ 28 }\times560\) = 340 litres
∴ The quantity of water left in the tank is 340 litres.
