Section B

13. Weight of an empty cylinder = 18.075 kg

Weight of the gas filled in it = 12.350 kg
Total weight =

Hence, the total weight of the cylinder filled with gas = 30.425 kg = 30 kg 425 g

14. This data can be represented in a tabular form as shown below:

Standard VI Girls Boys Total
Div A 10 12 22
Div. B 6 20 26
Div. C 18 12 30
Div. D 16 24 40
Total 50 68 118
15. Let the length of the fourth side be x cm.
Perimeter = 130 cm
30 + 40 + 25 + x = 130 cm
95 + x = 130 cm
x = 130 – 95
x = 35 cm
Therefore, length of the fourth side is 35 cm.

16. Number of ball in smaller boxes = x

Number of balls in the larger box = 2 × number of balls in small Box + balls left over
= 2x + 10

17. Point A represents 0.8

Point B represents 1.3
Point C represents 2.2
Point D represents 2.9

18. Length of rectangular field = 20 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 15 m
The ratio of the breadth to the length is 15 : 20
15 15  5 3
Now, 15:20     3: 4
20 20  5 4
Thus, the required ratio is 3 : 4.

19. Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line segment AB of any length and mark a point P on it.
2. Taking P as centre and any radius draw two arcs one on left side of P and other
on right side of P, which cut AB at Q and R.
3. Taking Q and R as a centre draw two arcs and let them intersect at S.
4. Join PS.
5. PS is the required perpendicular of AB.
20. Subtract 74.5 from 91

Hence, 16.5 should be added to 74.5 to get 91.

21. a. y + 7

22. The complete image is as below:

23. (a) Number of students whose favourite colour is blue = 30.

(b) Number of students whose favourite colour is green = 45
Number of students whose favourite colour is red = 25
Thus, required number of students = 45 – 2 5 = 20

24. Speed of the bus = v km per hour

Distance travelled by the bus in 10 hours = 10v km
According to the question,
Distance from Delhi to Mumbai
= Distance travelled by bus in 10 hours + 80 km
= 10v km + 80 km
= (10v + 80) km

Section C

25. Total balls = 55

Blue balls = 25
Remaining balls are = 55 – 25 = 30
Given that remaining balls are in the ratio of 2 : 1.
Let these balls be 2x and 1x respectively.
 2x + 1x = 30
 3x = 30  x = 10
Thus, number of other two balls are
2x = 2 × 10 = 20 and 1x = 1 × 10 = 10
30 6
Ratio of sum of other two balls to the blue balls    6 :5
25 5
26.
1. Maximum rainfall occurred in city B, i.e., 25 × 10 = 250 cm
2. Minimum rainfall was in city F that is 25 × 1 = 25 cm
3. Difference between rainfalls of city A and F = (7 – 1) × 25 = 150 cm

27. The steps of construction are as follows:

1. Draw right angle triangle ABC with right angle at B.
2. Construct perpendicular bisectors of sides AB and BC.
3. Let the point of intersection of the perpendiculars be P.
4. By observing this point P lies on hypotenuse AC.

28. Total area of tiles must be equal to the area of the floor of the room.
Length = 15 m and Breadth = 16 m
Area of the floor = length × breadth = 15 × 16 = 240 sq. m
Area of one rectangular tile = length × breadth = 1.5 × 1 = 1.5 sq. m
Area of floor 240
 Number of tiles required    160
Area of one tile 1.5

29. Number of girls in the class = 35

Number of boys in the class = 45
Total number of students = 35 + 45 = 80
Ratio of boys to girls = 45 : 35 = 9 : 7 (dividing by 5)
Ratio of boys to total number of students = 45 : 80 = 9 : 16
30. Area of a square wall = side × side = 10 × 10 = 100 sq. m
Area of four square walls = 4 × 100 = 400 sq. m
Cost of painting 1 sq. m of wall = Rs. 20
Therefore, total cost of painting = Rs. 20 × 400 = Rs. 8000

31. Let the breadth of the rectangular field be x.

Therefore, its length will be 2x.
As per given in question,
Perimeter = 180 m
⇒ 2(length + breadth) = 180 m
⇒ 2(x + 2x) = 180 m
⇒ 2(3x) = 180 m
⇒ 6x = 180 m
⇒ x = 30 m
Thus, its breadth = 30 m and its length = 2 × 30 = 60 m

32. Let the age of Shrehan be x years.

Then, age of Jasmine = x + 6 years
Sum of their ages = 30
⇒ x + x + 6 = 30
⇒ 2x + 6 = 30
Subtracting 6 from both sides,
⇒ 2x = 30 – 6
⇒ 2x = 24
⇒ x = 12
Age of Shrehan = 12 years
Age of Jasmine = 18 years

Section D

33. Steps of construction:

1. Draw a circle with centre O and any radius and
make a chord AB.
2. Taking O as a centre and a suitable radius, draw
an arc which cut the chord AB at two points X
and Y.
3. Taking X and Y as centre and same radius draw
two arcs and let them intersect at C.
4. Join OC; name the point of intersection of AB
and OC as P.
Measure AP and PB, we find that AP = PB.
Hence, the perpendicular from centre divides
the chord in two equal parts.
34. The bar graph is as follows:

35.
A. Since M is between K and N, KM + MN = KN .
KM + MN = KN
(2x – 4) + 3x = 26
5x – 4 = 26
5x = 30
x=6
Therefore,
MN = 3x = 3(6) = 18

B. There can be maximum four lines of symmetry.

36.
a) Let the number be x.
∴ Twice the number = 2x
∴ Equation becomes 2x + 6 = 10
Put x = 1 in L.H.S.,
2×1+6=2+6=8
Again, put x = 2
2 × 2 + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10.
Thus for x = 2, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
So, the required number is 2.

b) Let the number be x.

∴ L.H.S. = 6x - 3 and R.H.S. = 9
Put x = 1 in L.H.S.,
6x1-3=6-3=3
Again put x = 2
6 × 2 - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9.
Thus, for x = 2, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
So, the required number is 2.

37. Distance covered by Rohit = perimeter of triangle

= 3 × length of one side
= 3 × 30 m
= 90 m

Distance covered by Mohit = Perimeter of square

= 4 × length of one side
= 4 × 25 m
= 100 m

Difference in the distance covered = 100 m – 90 m = 10 m

Therefore, Mohit covered 10 m more distance than Rohit.
