solutions:-
S6.Ans(b)
Sol.
Let the number of days he was absent be x days.
180 (40 – x) – 20 x = 5200
7200 – 180x – 20x = 5200
7200 – 200x = 5200
x = 2000/200 = 10 days
S7.Ans(d)
Sol.
Amount of salt in 40 kg of solution = 4/100 * 40 = 1.6 kg
Let x kg of pure salt be added.
Then, (1.6 + x)/ (40 + x) = 12/100
160 + 100x = 480 + 12x
88x = 320
x = 3.64 kg
S8.Ans(c)
Sol.
(80x + 94y)/(x + y) = 86
80x + 94y = 86x + 86y
8y = 6x
x/y = 8/6 = 4/3 = 4 : 3
S9.Ans(b)
Sol.
Let the age of Angad be x years
Bankie’s age = 3x
Cherry’s age = x + 12
x + 3x + x + 12 = 57
or, 5x + 12 = 57
x = 9
Angad, Bankie and Cherry’s age are 9, 27, 21 years
S10.Ans(a)
Sol.
N2 – 35% of N1 = 4/5 N2
N2 – 4/5N2 = 35/100N1
N2/5 = 35/100N1
N1/N2 = 1/5 * 100/35 = 4 : 7
