Question 5

Amita has 12 marbles and Reeta has 8 marbles. Reeta says that she has x/y times the marbles that Amita has, where x and y are co-prime numbers.

Then x + y = 


___

SOLUTION

Solution :

Since 8 = 23 × 12

Reeta has 23 times the marbles that Amita has

Therefore, x + y = 2 + 3 = 5

Question 6

A survey shows that out of 40 students in a class, 30 students like studying Mathematics. That means ___% of students like studying Mathematics.

SOLUTION

Solution :

Percentage of students who like studying mathematics = no of students who like mathstotal no of students × 100 = 3040 x 100 = 75%

Question 7

Aju read a fact that bronze contains 88% copper and 12% tin. So, there will be ___ gms of copper in 200gms of bronze.

SOLUTION

Solution :

Given that 88% of bronze is copper.

Question 8

Mahibur paid an interest of Rs. 750 for 2 years on a sum of Rs. 4500 on simple interest. If the rate of interest is x13% p.a, then 'x' is ___.

SOLUTION

Solution :

Simple Interest = PRT100
Principle, P = 4500.
Rate of Interest, R = x13.
Time, T = 2.

750 = 4500×R×2100

R = 253 

R = 813

Hence, x = 8.

Question 9

Are the ratios 2:5 and 10:15 equivalent? (Yes/No)


__.

SOLUTION

Solution :

Here, we have to check whether 25 is equal to 1015
