Question 7

In thirteen years Gaurav will be twenty-four years old. Write the expression for Gaurav's age for 20 years from now. If after 20 years his father's age is 3 years less than 6 times Gaurav's present age. What is Gaurav's father's present age? [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Framing the equation: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Result: 1 Mark

Let the present age of Gaurav be x.

According to question, In 13 years, Gaurav' age =24

x+13=24

x=11

The expression for Gaurav's age for 20 years from now = x+20

After 20 years, Gaurav's age will be:

x+20

11+20=31 years

Since Gaurav's present age is 11 years
After 20 years father's age will be = 6(11)3=663=63
Hence, father's present age = 6320=43 years

y=824

Question 12

A fraction is given in which numerator is less than denominator by three. If we add number seven in the numerator and subtract one from the denominator, 32 is the new fraction which we get. Find the original fraction? [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Framing the equation: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark

Let the numerator of a rational number =x

Then the denominator of a rational number =x+3

When numerator is increased by 7, then new numerator =x+7

When denominator is decreased by 1, then new denominator =x+31

The new number formed =32

According to the question,

x+7x+31=32

x+7x+2=32

2(x+7)=3(x+2)

2x+14=3x+6

3x2x=146

x=8

Numerator = 8, then denominator = 8+3 = 11

Original fraction =811

Question 13

Ethan is given the responsibility of buying a week's supply of food and medication for the dogs and cats at a local shelter. The food and medication for each dog cost twice as much as the supplies for a cat. He needs to feed 164 cats and 24 dogs. His budget is Rs. 4240. How much can Ethan spend on each dog for food and medication? [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Framing the equation 2 Marks
Steps: 1 Mark
Result: 1 Mark

Let the expenditure on a cat be y

The expenditure on a dog =2y.

Total expenditure on cats =164×y=164y

Total expenditure of dogs =24×2y=48y

According to question:

164y+24×2y=4240

164y+48y=4240

 212y=4240

y=4240212=20

Hence, expenditure of a dog =2y=40

So, for 24 dogs the total expenditure is

=24×40=Rs.960

Question 14

(a) Aditya has a certain number of pencils. The cost of pencils is 10 greater than 4 times the number of pencils which Aditya has. The total cost of the pencils is Rs 162. Frame the equation and find the number of pencils.  

(b) People of Sundargram planted a total of 102 trees in the village garden. Some of the trees were fruit trees. The number of non-fruit trees was two more than three times the number of fruit trees. What was the number of fruit trees? [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution : (a) Steps: 1 Mark
     Result: 1 Mark
(b) Steps: 1 Mark
     Result: 1 Mark


(a)  Let Aditya have x pencils

Now 4 times the number of pencils which Aditya has is 4×x=4x

10 greater than 4x=4x+10


Now, given that the total cost is Rs 162, we get

(4x+10)=162

4x=16210
4x=152
x=1524
x=38
So, Aditya has 38 pencils.

(b) Total trees planted = 102
Let the number of fruit trees planted be x
The number of non-fruit trees planted is 3x+2
No. of Non-fruit trees + No. of fruit trees =  Total no. of trees
3x+2 + x = 102
4x+2=102
2x+1=51
2x=50
x=25
Therefore no. of fruit trees was 25.

Question 15

After 7 years Sarosh's father's age will be 3 times that of Sarosh's age which will be equal to 6 times of Sarosh's present age. What is the sum of their present ages? [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Framing of equation: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark

Let Sarosh's present age be x

After 7 years, Sarosh's age will be   x+7

Father's age after 7 years is     3(x+7)

This is equal to 6 times Sarosh's present age   =6x

So, 6x=3(x+7)=3x+21

6x=3x+21

6x3x=21

3x=21

x=213=7

Sarosh's present age is 7 years.

Father's age after 7 years is    6×7=42 years

His present age is     427=35 years


Sum of their present ages    =35+7=42 years
