14. Let x be the ten's digit of the two-digit number.  
Then its unit's digit = x + 7.  
Number = unit's digit + 10(ten's digit) = (x + 7) + 10(x) = 11x + 7.  
Sum of the digits = (x + 7) + (x) = 2x + 7.  
Given, sum of the digits is half of the whole number. Therefore, 
 
4x + 14 = 11x + 7  
4x - 11x = 7 - 14  
-7x = -7  
x = 1  
Ten's digit of the two-digit number is x = 1.  
Unit's digit of the two-digit number = x + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8  
 Thus, the required number is 18. 
 
15. y = ? EHP (Alternate interior angles as OP||HE) 
y = 40°  
70° = ? EHO = z + 40 ? (Corresponding angles as OP||HE) 
70° - 40° = z 
z = 30° 
? HEP = ? EHO (Adjacent pair of angles as HO||EP) 
x + (z + 40 ?) = 180°  
x + 70 ? = 180° 
 x = 110°

14. Let x be the ten's digit of the two-digit number.  
Then its unit's digit = x + 7.  
Number = unit's digit + 10(ten's digit) = (x + 7) + 10(x) = 11x + 7.  
Sum of the digits = (x + 7) + (x) = 2x + 7.  
Given, sum of the digits is half of the whole number. Therefore, 
 
4x + 14 = 11x + 7  
4x - 11x = 7 - 14  
-7x = -7  
x = 1  
Ten's digit of the two-digit number is x = 1.  
Unit's digit of the two-digit number = x + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8  
 Thus, the required number is 18.

18. From the graph, it is clear that: 
5 students favoured orange and 1 student favoured green colour.  
Now, 5 - 1 = 4  
Therefore, 4 more students favoured orange colour than green. 
 
19. Cost of TV set = Rs. 36500. 
Sales tax = 8% of Rs. 36500 
 
 Therefore, Bill amount = Rs. (36500 + 2920) = Rs. 39420

Then its unit's digit = x + 7.  
Number = unit's digit + 10(ten's digit) = (x + 7) + 10(x) = 11x + 7.  
Sum of the digits = (x + 7) + (x) = 2x + 7.  
Given, sum of the digits is half of the whole number. Therefore, 
 
4x + 14 = 11x + 7  
4x - 11x = 7 - 14  
-7x = -7  
x = 1  
Ten's digit of the two-digit number is x = 1.  
Unit's digit of the two-digit number = x + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8
