students study in that school?

Let the total no of students be s.

2 2𝑠
No. of students coming by car = 5 x s = 5

No. of students coming by bus = 4 x s = 4

2𝑠 𝑠 7𝑠
No. of students walking to school = s – ( 5 + 4) = 20

4. b
5. a

Fill in the blanks:

6. If 0.4 (3x - 1) = 0.5x +1

1.2x – 0.4 = 0.5x + 1
1.2x – 0.5x = 1 + 0.4
0.7x = 1.4
1.4
x = 0.7 = 2

7. Let the breadth of the rectangle be x cm.

Thus, length = (x + 8) cm
Perimeter = 2(l + b)
Perimeter is given as 80 cm.
So, 2(𝑥 + 𝑥 + 8) = 80
2(2𝑥 + 8) = 80
4𝑥 + 16 = 80
4𝑥 = 64
𝑥 = 16
Thus, breadth of the rectangle is 16cm and length is 16 + 8 = 24 cm.
So, area = l × b
= 16 × 24
= 384 sq cm.

8. Let the number be x.

Then, 5 𝑥 − 𝑥=4

x = 80

The required number is 80.

4
 5𝑎 + 30 – 2𝑎 + 18 + 15𝑎 – 60 = 0
18𝑎 – 12 = 0
18𝑎 = 12
12 2
a = 18 = 3
10. 2 (x + 3) + 3 (x + 1) = 4(2x - 3) + 3
2𝑥 + 6 + 3𝑥 + 3 = 8𝑥 − 12 + 3
5𝑥 + 9 = 8𝑥 − 9
18 = 3𝑥
𝑥=6
11. Let the distance covered be d and speed of boat in still water be x km/hour.
𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 = Speed × Time
Given that, time taken for downstream is 5 hours, the net speed of the boat in downstream
is (x + 1.5) [Water helps in moving]
So, 𝑑 = (𝑥 + 1.5) × 5
Given that, time taken for upstream is 5.5 hours, the net speed of the boat in upstream is
(x - 1.5) [Water slows the motion]
So, 𝑑 = (𝑥 − 1.5) × 5.5
Thus, (𝑥 + 1.5) × 5 = (𝑥 − 1.5) × 5.5 (Distance covered is the same)
5𝑥 + 7.5 = 5.5𝑥 − 8.25
15.75 = 0.5𝑥
x = 31.5
Thus, Speed of boat in still water is 31.5 km/hr.
12. Let the numerator be x.
Thus, denominator is 2x – 2
Now, adding 3 to the numerator and denominator.
𝑥+3 2
=
2𝑥 − 2 + 3 3
𝑥+3 2
=
2𝑥 + 1 3
3(𝑥 + 3) = 2(2𝑥 + 1)
3𝑥 + 9 = 4𝑥 + 2
𝑥=7
Thus, the numerator is 7, denominator is 2x – 2 = 2 × 7 – 2 = 12
7
The required fraction is 12
13. Let the required number of kilos of tea be x.
According to the problem,
(𝑥 × 72) + (10 × 90) = 78(𝑥 + 10)
72𝑥 + 900 = 78𝑥 + 780
78𝑥 − 72𝑥 = 900 − 780
6𝑥 = 120
𝑥 = 20
Hence, 20 kilos of tea must be mixed.
14. Let B’s age be x.
So, A’s age is x + 5

5
 According to the problem,
𝑥+5−5 3
=
𝑥−5 2
𝑥 3
=
𝑥−5 2
2𝑥 = 3𝑥 − 15
x = 15
A’s age is 20 years and B is 15 years.
15. Let the total number of students be x.
𝑥
So, number of students in Chemistry lab = 3
𝑥
Number of students in Physics lab = 4
𝑥
Number of students in Biology lab = 6
𝑥 𝑥 𝑥
Thus, 3 + + + 12 = 𝑥

12
9𝑥
− 𝑥 = −12
12
−3𝑥

12
−3𝑥 = −144
𝑥 = 48
So, total number of students is 48.
16. Let the digit in the ones place be x
So, the digit in the tens place is 8 – x
The number will be 10(8 − 𝑥) + 𝑥
= 80 − 9𝑥
Number obtained by reversing the digits
= 10𝑥 + (8 − 𝑥)
= 9𝑥 + 8
Original number + 18 = Number obtained by reversing the digits
80 − 9𝑥 + 18 = 9𝑥 + 8
98 − 9𝑥 = 9𝑥 + 8
90 = 18𝑥
𝑥=5
The number is 35.
17. Let the breadth of the rectangle be x cm.
So, the length will be (x + 4) cm
Area is 𝑥(𝑥 + 4) = 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 sq cm.
New breadth = (x + 3) cm
New length = x + 4 + 3 = (x + 7) cm
New area = (𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 7)
= 𝑥 2 + 10𝑥 + 21
Now, 𝑥 2 + 10𝑥 + 21 = 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 81
6𝑥 = 60

6
 𝑥 = 10
Breadth of the rectangle is 10 cm and length is 14 cm.
18. Let the present age be x years.
After 12 years = (𝑥 + 12)
4 years ago = (𝑥 − 4)
According to the problem,
(𝑥 + 12) = 3(𝑥 − 4)
𝑥 + 12 = 3𝑥 − 12
24 = 2𝑥
𝑥 = 12
Thus, present age is 12 years.

1728 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3
∴ 1728 must be multiplied by 3 to make a perfect square
1728 × 3 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3×3

√5184 = 2×2×2×3×3

16
 = 72

∴ Ans: 3; 72
10.

(212)2 < 45156 < (213)2

The required number to be added = (213)2 − 45156

= 45369 – 45156
= 213
11.

Hence, the required least number = 32

and the required square number = 2433 – 32

= 2401

Also √2401 = 49
12. The least number divisible by each of 8,12,15,20 is their LCM.

∴ LCM of 8,12,15,20 = 2×2×5×3×2

120 is not a perfect square so, to make it perfect square it must be multiplied by 2×3×5
= 30
Hence required number = 120 × 30
= 3600

13. Smallest 6-digit number = 100000

17
(316)2 < 100000 < (317)2

∴ The least number to be added = (317)2 − 100000

= 100489 – 100000
= 489
Hence the required number = 100000 + 489 = 100489

Also √100489 = 317

𝑥 1
14. √289 − 2 = 1 17

𝑥 18
√289 − 2 = 17

𝑥 324
− 2 = (Squaring both sides)
289 289

𝑥 324
= 289 + 2
289

𝑥 324+578
=
289 289

𝑥 902
= 289
289

∴ 𝑥 = 902
15. Since the square root is required to be corrected to 2 places of decimal. We shall find
it upto 3 places of decimal and round it off to 2 places of decimal.
For finding the square root upto 3 decimal places, we need 3 pairs of decimal places
So, we write 0.07688 = 0.076880

∴ √0.07688 = 0.277 upto 3 places of decimal

= 0.28 Correct upto 2 places of
decimal.

11. In the number 857375, 375 is the first group and 857 is the second group.
The number 375 ends with 5, so the cube root will have 5 at the unit’s place.
Second group is 857.

We know that 93 = 729 and 103 = 1000

729< 857 < 1000 , i.e 93 < 857 < 103

9 is smaller than 10, so 9 will be taken as the tens place of the required cube root.

So √857375 is 95.

16. Let the number be x.

∴ Double the number = 2x

Its cube = (2𝑥)3 = 8𝑥 3 …………(1)

Now, 8 times the cube of the number = 8× 𝑥 3 = 8𝑥 3 ………….(2)

Thus verified.
17. Let the numbers be 2x, 3x and 4x
sum of cubes = 33957

⇒ (2x)³ + (3x)³ + (4x)³ = 33957

⇒8x³ + 27x³ + 64x³ = 33957

⇒99x³ = 33957

⇒x³ = 33957÷ 99 = 343
