QUESTION: 2

### Find x and y x2 - xy = 4 and y2 - xy = -3

Solution:

x2 - xy = y .....(1)
y2 - xy = -3 .....(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1) we

Putting the value of x - y in equation (1) we get

Putting value of x in equation (2) we get,

putting value of y in equation (2) we get
y2 - xy = -3
⇒ 9 - 3x = -3
⇒-3x - -3 -9 = - 12
⇒ x = 4
So, (x, y) = (4, 3) or (-4, -3)

QUESTION: 6

A square is inscribed in a circle of radius 10 units. The area of the circle not included in the square......(use π = 3.14)

Solution:

Let the side of square be x unit.
sider the right triangle ABD
have x2 + x2 = (10 + 10)2
⇒ 2x2 = 400
x2 = 200
Area of square = 200 sq units
One of circle = πr2 = 22/7 x (10)2 = 314 sq units
One of shaded region not included in square
= 314 sq unit - 200 sq unit
= 114 sq unit.

QUESTION: 7

Size of a tile is 9 inches by 9 inches. The number of tiles needed to cover a floor of 12 feet by 12 feet is

QUESTION: 18

Two numbers,both greater than 29, have HCF 29 and LCM 4147. The sum of the numbers is

Solution:

Product of numbers = 29 × 4147
Let the numbers be 29a and 29b
Then, 29a × 29b = (24 × 4147)
⇒ ab = 143
Now, co-primes with product 143 are (1, 143) and (11, 13)
So,the numbers are (29 × 1, 29 × 143) and (29 × 11, 29 × 13)
Since both numbers are greater than 29, the suitable pair is (29 × 11, 29 × 13)
i.e., (319, 377)
∴ Required sum = (319 + 377) = 696

QUESTION: 23

Suresh's monthly income is 30% more than that of Vinod. Vinod's monthly income is 20% less than that of Vinay.If the difference between the monthly incomes of Suresh and Vinay is Rs 800.What is the monthly income of Vinod?

Solution:

Suresh = Vinod + 30% of Vinod
= 1.3 Vinod
Vinod = Vinay - 20% of Vinay
= 80% of Vinay
= 0.8 Vinay
∴ Suresh = 1.3 x 0.8 Vinay
= 1.04 Vinay
Now, Suresh - Vinay = 1.04 Vinay - Vinay
= 0.04 Vinay
= Rs 800 (given)
∴ Vinay = Rs 20000
∴ Vinod = 0.8 x 20000 = Rs 16000

The distance between two cities A and B is 330 km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travels towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m. and travels towards A at 75 km/hr. At what time do they meet?

Solution:

The two trains meet x hrs after 8 a.m.
Distance covered by 1st train in x hrs + Distance covered by 2nd train in (x - 1) hrs = 330 km
60x + 75 (x - 1) = 330
60x + 75x - 75 = 330
x = 405/135 = 3
So, they will meet 3 hrs past 8 a.m. i.e., 11 a.m.

QUESTION: 44

The following line-graph gives the percent profit earned by two companies X and Y during the period 1996-2001. Study the line-graph and answer the questions that are based on it.

Q. If the expenditure of companies X and Y in 1996 were equal and the total income of the two companies in 1996 was Rs. 342 crores, what was the total profit of the two companies together in 1996 ?

Solution:

Let the expenditures of each companies X and Y in 1996 be Rs x crores
And let the income of Company X in 1996 be Rs z crores
So that the income of Company Y in 1996 = Rs (342 - z) crores
Then, for Company X we have:

Substituting z = 168 in (i), we get : x = 120
∴ Total expenditure of Companies X and Y is 1996 = 2x = Rs 240 crores
Total income of Companies X and Y in 1996 = Rs 342 crores
∴ Total profit = Rs (342 - 240) crores = Rs 120 crores
