Question 7
In a match of 50 overs, the team batting second was given a target of 310.They lost the match by 10 runs. The team batting second, i.e. the team which lost, scored one-half of their runs in 30 overs and in next five overs they scored one-half of the remaining runs. Later in the next 8 overs, they scored 15th of the remaining runs. In last seven overs, they scored the remaining runs. How many runs did they score in the last seven overs?
[3 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: [2 Marks]
Result: [1 Mark]
Total runs scored by the team that lost = 310 - 10 = 300
Now, total no. of overs played by them = 50
i.e. in 30 overs, this team scored =3002
=150 runs
The balance 300 - 150 = 150 runs were scored by this team in balance 20 overs.
By the given condition
In the next 5 overs 12 of 150 runs
= 75 runs were scored.
⇒ 150 runs - 75 runs = 75 runs are still in balance.
Again in the next 8 overs.
15 of 75 = 15 runs were scored.
Now No. of overs left = 20 - (5 + 8)
=20 - 13
=7 overs
In seven overs, runs scored will be 75 - 15 = 60 runs

SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 3 Marks
Result: 1 Mark
Given that
Ram purchased 1.5 kgs of tomato for 35 rupees.
Also, 5.6 kg of tomato is required to prepare 5 kg of tomato pickle.
The first step is to find per kg cost of tomato.
Now, cost of 1 kg of tomato = 351.5 rupees = 35×21.5×2 = 703 rupees
Given that 5.6 kg of tomato is required to prepare 5 kg tomato pickle
Then tomatoes required for making of 1 kg of pickle = 5.65 kgs = 1.12 kgs
Cost of 1kg of tomato pickle =(1.12)×703 = 26.133 rupees
Question 12

[4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: [2 Marks]
Application: [1 Mark]
Answer: [1 Mark]
Let the total volume of the bottle be Vm3
Volume filled in the first minute is V2
Volume of the bottle remaining=V−V2=V2
Volume filled in the second minute is (34)×(V2) m3
Volume filled in the third minute is V−(V2)−(34)×(V2)
=(V8) m3
Then the remaining volume =7 m3
(V8)=7
V=56 m3
The volume of the bottle is 56 m3
Question 13
A train got derailed and 1114th of the length of the train was found off the track. If the length of the train was 322 m, find out what length of the train was found off the track? What length of the train was still on track? [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution : Steps: 2 Marks
Answers: 2 Marks
Given the length of the train is 322 m
Let x metres be the length that was found off the track. Then using unitary method we have
Or, x×1414=322×1114
Or, 14x=322×11
∴x=322×1114
=32214×11
=23×11
=253 metres
The total length of the train = 322 m
Total length of the train off the track = 253 m
So, the length of the train which was still on track = 322 - 253 = 69 m.
