of bride and groom was 3x, 4x years

= 3x + 8/4x + 8 = 4/5

or, 16x + 32 = 15x + 40

or, 16x – 15x

= 40 – 32

or, x = 8 years

The age of bride at the time of wedding

= 3 × 8

= 24 years

Therefore, age of the bride will be 24 years.

Question no – (13)

Suppose Lalitha’s and Sarita’s present ages are 5x, 4x, years

∴ 5x + 3/4x + 3 = 11/9

or, 45x + 27 = 44x + 33

or 45x – 44x

= 33 – 27

or, x = 6 years

Saritha’s present age = 4 × 6

= 24 years

Question no – (14)

Solution :

Suppose the breath is x cm

= 2[x + (x + 14) = 180

or, 2x + 14 = 180/2

= 90

or, 2x = 90 – 14 = 76

or, x = 76/2 = 38 cm

∴ Breath = 38 cm,

∴ Length = 38 + 14 = 52 cm

∴ Area = 38 × 52 = 1976 cm²

Question no – (15)

Solution :

∴ x (x + 7) =(x + 3) (x +7 – 4)

or, x² + 7x = (x + 3) (x + 3)

or, x² + 7x = x² + 6x + 9

or, 7x – 6x = 9

or, x = 9

∴ x+ 3x/2 + 3x/2 = 32

or, 2x + 3x + 3x/2 = 32

or, 8x = 32 × 2 = 64

or, x = 64/8 = 8 cm

Length of base = 8 cm

Length of others side 8 × 3/2 = 12 cm

Suppose, cost of the chair = x rupees

x = + 116x/100 = 1620

or, 100x + 116x/100 = 1620

or, 216x = 1620 × 100

or, x = 1620 × 100/216

= 750 rupees

Cost of chair = 750 rupees

Cost of table = 750 × 116/100

= 870 rupees

Question number – (19)

Solution :

Suppose Srividya gets x rupees

So, she deposits in bank = x/2 rupees

She gave her daughter = x/4 + 6000

She gave her daughter son = x/8 + 3000

∴ (x/8 + 3000) + (x/4 + 6000) = x/2

or, x/8 + x/4 – x/2 = – 6000 – 3000

or, x + 2x – 4x/8 = – 9000

or, – x/8 = – x/8 – 9000

or, x/8= 9000

∴ x = 8 × 900 = 72000

Question no – (20)

Solution :

Suppose Anuj has x coins of 5 rupees

Suppose Anuj has 5x/8 coins of 2 rupees

∴ (5 × x) + (5x/8 × 2) = 1000

or, 5x + 5x/4 = 1000

or, 20x + 5x/4 = 1000

or, 25x = 4 × 1000

or, x = 1000 × 4/25

= 160

= 160 coins of 5 rupees

= 160 × 5/8 = 1000 coins of 2 rupees

Question no – (21)

Solution :

Suppose the labourer came to work x days

∴ He did not come to work = (30 – x) days

∴ (80 × x) – 10 (30 – x) = 1860

or, 6x + 5x + 4x = 1500

or, 15x/6 = 1500

or, x = 1500 × 6/15 = 600 rupees

A’s Share = 600 × 5/6 = 500 rupees

C’s Share 500 × 4/5 = 400 rupees

Question no – (23)

Solution :

Suppose x adult tickets were sold

∴ 25x + 15 (210 – x) = 4300

or, 25x + 3150 – 15x = 4300

∴ 2(18 + x) = 2 1/2 × (18 – x

or, 2x + 36 = 5/2 (18 – x)

or, 2x + 36 = 45 – 5x/2

or, 2x + 5x/2 = 45 – 36

or, 9x/2 = 9

or, x = 9 × 2/9

= 2 km/hr

Question no – (26)

Solution :

Suppose the speeds of the trains are x km/hr, (x + 10) km/hr respectively

Since they were morning towards each other, their relative speed = (x + x + 10) km/hr

= (2x + 10) km/hr

∴ with (2x + 10) km/hr speed they travelled

= (500 – 45) = 455 km in 3 1/2 = 7/2 hours

∴ 455/7/2 = 2x + 10

or, 2x + 10 = 455 × 2/7 = 130

or, 2x = 120

or, x = 120/2

= 60

Speed of the trains = 60 km/hr

= 70 km/hr

Question no – (27)

Solution :

Suppose Devender bought x apples x bananas

∴ Total cost price of apples = 5x rupees

Total cost price of bananas = 2x rupees

∴ Profit from apples

= 5x × 20/100

= x rupees

Loss from apples

= 2x × 20/100

= 2x/5 rupees

Overall profit = x – 2x/5 = 360

or, 5x – 2x/5 = 360

or, 3x/5 = 360

or, x = 360 × 5/3 = 600

∴ He bought 600 apples.

Suppose the man’s age is – x years

His father age = 2x years his grandfather age = 3x years

∴ x + 2x + 3x = 150

or, 6x = 150

or, x = 25 years

Question no – (7)

Solution : 

Suppose now Sarita is x years old

∴ 4x + 5/x + 5 = 3/1

or, 4x + 5 = x + 15

or, 3x = 10

or, x = 10/3

Question no – (8)

Solution : 

Suppose the numbers are 9x, 5x

∴ 9x + 5x = 56

or, 14x = 56

or, x = 56/14

= 4

Question no – (9)

Solution : 

Suppose the unit’s digit is x ten’s digit = (7 – x)

∴ 10 (7 – x) + (x × 1) + 27

= (10 × x) + (7 – x)

or, 70x – 10x + x + 27

= 10x + 7 – x

or, 18x = 90

or, x = 90/18

= 5

∴ (7 – x) = 2

The number is 25

Question no – (10)

Solution : 

Suppose the tens digit = x

∴ units digit = (x + 2)

∴ x + x + 2 = 16

or, 2x = 14

or, x = 14/2 = 7

∴ (x + 2) = 9

The number is = 79

Question no – (11)

Solution : 

Suppose the numerator = x denominator = x + 6

∴ x + 3/x + 6 = 2/3

or, 3x + 9 = 2x + 12

or, 3x – 2x = 12 – 9

or, x = 3

∴ The original fraction = 3/3 + 6

= 3/9

Question no – (12)

Solution : 

Suppose he hit x times, missed y times

∴ x+ y = 160 – (i)

4x – y = 440 – (ii)

——————————————-
5x = 600

∴ x = 600/5 = 120

∴ He hit 120 times

Question no – (13)

Solution : 

Suppose speed of the stream = x km/hr

= 20/8 + x

= 12/8 – x

or, 96 + 12x = 160 – 20x

or, 12x + 20x – 160 – 96

or, 32x = 64

or, x = 64/32

= 2 km/hr

Question number – (14)

Solution : 

Suppose speed of the streams = x km/hr

∴ 9 (x + 1) = 10(x – 1)

or, 10x – 9x

= 10 + 9

or, x = 19 km/hr

∴ The total distance 2 × 9 × 919 + 1)

= 18 × 20

= 360 km

Question no – (15)

Solution : 

Suppose three were x number of 50 rupees notes

∴ 50x + 100 (25 – x) = 200

or, 50x – 100x

= 2000 – 2500

or, 50x = 500

or, x = 500/50 = 10

∴ Three were 10 notes of 50 rupees

Question no – (16)

Solution : 

Suppose the least one is 2x

∴ (4 × 2x) – 6

= (2x + 2) + (2x + 4) + (2x + 6)

or, 8x – 6 = 6x + 12

or, 8x – 6x

= 12 + 6

or, 2x = 18

∴ x = 18/2 = 9

∴ The numbers are (9 × 2) = 18

= (9 × 2 + 2) = 20

= 20 + 2 = 22

= 22 + 2 = 24
