10. The average price of 10 books is Rs. 12 while

(b)Rs.22 and Rs.14
(c)Rs.12 and Rs.22

(e)Rs.10 and Rs.16

Answers:
1.c
2.a

4.a
5.c
6.b
Let the length of the train be x metres.
Then, the train covers x metres in 8 seconds
(train is actually covering itself because length of man is very less
comparable to train)and (x + 180) metres in 20 seconds.
equate speed in both cases=d/t
∴ x/8 =( x + 180) / 20 ⇔ 20x =
8(x + 180) ⇔ x = 120.
∴ Length of the train = 120 m.
Speed of the train = [120/8]m/sec (convert to
km/hr. i.e. x 18/5)
=[120/8] x 18/5kmph = 54 kmph
7.e
5% of 2000=100
so 2000-100=1900
so, if he sells
1900 he will get 25% profit
cost per piece Rs 25……so 25x 1900
if 125%…………………..25×1900
100 %………………….?
?= 25x1900x100/125=38000=CP
if 50% rejected, only 1000 pieces sold
so 1000×25=25000=SP
loss=cp-sp= 38000-25000=13000
8.d
Let x, y and z
be the amounts invested in schemes P, Q and R respectively.
Then,
add individual interest to get total using SI=
p*r*t/100
[x * 10 * 1]/100 + [y x 12 x 1]/100 + [z x 15 x
1]/100 = 3200
10x + 12y + 15z = 320000…………..1
Now, z = 240%
of y =(12/5)y……… 2
And, z = 150%
of x =(3/2)x so, x=(2/3 )z = (2/3) x value of z from 2
x= (2/3) x (12/5) y = (8/5)y………..3
From (1), (2) and (3), we have :
16y + 12y + 36y = 320000
y = 5000
9.a
sum of ages is
360 years.
The ratio of
children and parents ages is 2:1.
Total age of parents = 360 x 1 / 3 = 120 years
Ratio of wife and husband age is 5:7.
Therefore, the
age of husband = 120 x 7 / 12 = 70
10.e
Total price of
the two books = Rs. [(12 x 10) – (11.75 x 8)] = Rs. (120 – 94) = Rs. 26
Let the price of one book be Rs.x
Then, the price of other book = Rs. (x + 60% of
x )= x + (3/5)x= (8/5)x
so, x +(8/5)x=26 , x=10
The prices of the two books hence are Rs. 10 and
Rs. 16
