Required number = 10x + y

 10x + y = 7(x + y)

     10x + y = 7x + 7y

       3x - 6y = 0---(1)


Number found on reversing the digits = 10y + x

(10x + y) - 27 = 10y + x

      10x - x + y - 10y = 27

        9x - 9y = 27

         (x - y) = 27

           x - y = 3---(2)


Multiplying (1) by 1 and (2) by 6

Hence the number is 63.

Solution 13

Let the ten's digit and unit's digits of required number be x and y respectively.

Then,

x + y = 15---(1)


Required number = 10x + y

10y + x - (10x + y) = 9

10y + x - 10x - y = 9

       9y - 9x = 9

        

 

Add (1) and (2), we get

 

Putting y = 8 in (1), we get

x + 8 = 15

x = 15 - 8 = 7

 

Required number = 10x + y

                         = 10 × 7 + 8

                         = 70 + 8

                         = 78

Hence the required number is 78.

Subtracting (2) from (1), we get

x = 3

 

Putting x = 3 in (1), we get

2 × 3 - y = 1

y = 6 - 1 = 5

x = 3, y = 5

 

Required number = 10x + y

                         = 10 × 3 + 5

                         = 30 + 5

                         = 35

 

Hence, required number is 35.

Solution 15

Let the ten's digit and unit's digit of required number be x and y respectively.

We know,

Dividend = (divisor × quotient) + remainder


According to the given questiion:

10x + y = 6 × (x + y) + 0

10x - 6x + y - 6y = 0

4x - 5y = 0 ---(1)

 

Number obtained by reversing the digits is 10y + x

 10x + y - 9 = 10y + x

9x - 9y = 9

9(x - y) =9

(x - y) = 1---(2)

 

Multiplying (1) by 1 and (2) by 5, we get

4x - 5y = 0 ---(3)

5x - 5y = 5 ---(4)

 

Subtracting (3) from (4), we get

x = 5

 

Putting x = 5 in (1), we get

x =5 and y= 4

 

Hence, required number is 54.

Solution 16

Let the ten's and unit's digits of the required number be x and y respectively.

Then, xy = 35

Required number = 10x + y


Also,

(10x + y) + 18 = 10y + x

9x - 9y = -18

9(y - x) = 18---(1)

y - x = 2

Now, 


 

Adding (1) and (2),

2y = 12 + 2 = 14

y = 7

 

Putting y = 7 in (1),

7 - x = 2

x = 5

 

Hence, the required number = 5 × 10 + 7

                                        = 57

Solution 17

Let the ten's and unit's digits of the required number be x and y respectively.

Then, xy = 18

Required number = 10x + y

Number obtained on reversing its digits = 10y + x

 

(10x + y) - 63 = (10y + x)

9x - 9y = 63

x - y = 7---(1)

Now,

 

 

Adding (1) and (2), we get

 

Putting x = 9 in (1), we get

9 - y = 7

y = 9 - 7

y =2


x = 9, y = 2

Hence, the required number = 9 × 10 + 2

                                        = 92.

Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 1

4y - 4x = 44---(3)

-3y + 4x = -8---(4)

 

Adding (3) and (4), we get

y = 36

 

Putting y = 36 in (1), we get

y - x = 11

36 - x = 11 

  x = 25


x = 25, y = 36

Hence the fraction is

x = 12

 

Putting x = 12 in (1),

y = 16 - x

   = 16 - 12

   = 4

The required numbers are 12 and 4

 x - y = 20---(1)


When 20 students are transferred from B to A:

 2(y - 20) = x + 20

 2y - 40 = x + 20

 

-x + 2y = 60---(2)

 

Adding (1) and (2), we get

y = 80

 

Putting y = 80 in (1), we get

Let P and Q be the cars starting from A and B respectively and let their speeds be x km/hr and y km/hr respectively.

Case- I

When the cars P and Q move in the same direction.

Distance covered by the car P in 7 hours = 7x km

Distance covered by the car Q in 7 hours = 7y km

Let the cars meet at point M.

        

AM = 7x km and BM = 7y km

AM - BM = AB

 7x - 7y = 70

7(x - y) = 70

x - y = 10 ----(1)


Case II

When the cars P and Q move in opposite directions.

Distance covered by P in 1 hour = x km

Distance covered by Q in 1 hour = y km


In this case let the cars meet at a point N.


AN = x km and BN = y km

AN + BN = AB

 x + y = 70---(2)


Adding (1) and (2), we get

2x = 80

 x = 40

 

Putting x = 40 in (1), we get

40 - y = 10

 y = (40 - 10) = 30

 

x = 40, y = 30

Hence, the speeds of these cars are 40 km/ hr and 30 km/ hr respectively.

Solution 32

Let the original speed be x km/h and time taken be y hours

Then, length of journey = xy km

 

Case I:

Speed = (x + 5)km/h and time taken = (y - 3)hour

Distance covered = (x + 5)(y - 3)km

(x + 5) (y - 3) = xy

xy + 5y -3x -15 = xy

5y - 3x = 15 ---(1)

 

Case II:

Speed (x - 4)km/hr and time taken = (y + 3)hours

Distance covered = (x - 4)(y + 3) km

(x - 4)(y + 3) = xy

xy -4y + 3x -12 = xy

 3x - 4y = 12 ---(2)


Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 5, we get

20y - 12x = 60 ---(3)

-20y + 15x = 60 ---(4)

 

Adding (3) and (4), we get

3x = 120

or x = 40

 

Putting x = 40 in (1), we get

5y - 3 × 40 = 15 

  5y = 135  

  y = 27

 

Hence, length of the journey is (40 × 27) km = 1080 km

Let the speed of the boat in still water be   km/hr and the speed of the stream be   km/hr. Then,

speed upstream = (x-y) km/hr

speed downstream = (x+y) km/hr

Time taken to cover 30 km upstream =  hours

Time taken to cover 44 km downstream =  hours

Total time taken = 10 hours

   (i)

Again,

Time taken to cover 40 km upstream =  hours

Time taken to cover 55 km downstream =  hours

Total time taken = 13 hours

  (ii)

Putting   in (i) and (ii), we get

On multiplying (iv) by 2 and subtracting (iii) from the result, we get

Then,

Adding equations (v) and (vi),

Therefore, speed of the stream is 3 km/hr and speed of the boat in still water is 8 km/hr.

The man will finish the work in 18 days and the boy will finish the work in 36 days when they work alone.

Solution 38

Let the length = x meters and breadth = y meters

Then,

x = y + 3

x - y = 3 ----(1)

Also,

(x + 3)(y - 2) = xy

 3y - 2x = 6 ----(2)

 

 

Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by 1

-2y + 2x = 6 ---(3)

3y - 2x = 6 ---(4)

 

Adding (3) and (4), we get

y = 12

 

Putting y = 12 in (1), we get

x - 12 = 3

x= 15


x = 15, y = 12

Hence length = 15 metres and breadth = 12 metres

Solution 39

Let the length of a rectangle be x meters and breadth be y meters.

Then, area = xy sq.m

Now,

xy - (x - 5)(y + 3) = 8

xy - [xy - 5y + 3x -15] = 8

xy - xy + 5y - 3x + 15 = 8 

3x - 5y = 7 ---(1)


And

(x + 3)(y + 2) - xy = 74

xy + 3y +2x + 6 - xy = 74

2x + 3y = 68---(2)


Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 5, we get

9x - 15y = 21---(3)

10x + 15y = 340---(4)

 

Adding (3) and (4), we get

 

Putting x = 19 in (3) we get

 

x = 19 meters, y = 10 meters

Hence, length = 19m and breadth = 10m

Let the present ages of the man and his son be x years and y years respectively.

Then,

 

Two years ago:

x - 2 = 5y - 10

  x - 5y = -8 ---(1)

 

Two years later:

(x + 2) = 3(y + 2) + 8


x + 2 = 3y + 6 + 8

x - 3y = 12 ---(2)


Subtracting (2) from (1), we get

-2y = -20

  y = 10


Putting y = 10 in (1), we get

x - 5 10 = -8

x - 50 = -8

x = 42

 

 

Hence the present ages of the man and the son are 42 years and 10 respectively.

Solution 44

Let the present ages of father and his son be x and y respectively.

According to given information

Subtracting (i) from (iii), we get

Putting x = 40 in (i), we get

40 + 2y = 70

2y = 30

 y = 15

x = 40, y = 15

Hence, the ages of father and son are 40 years and 15 years respectively.

Solution 45

Let the present ages of woman and daughter be x and y respectively.

Then,

 

Their present ages:

x = 3y + 3

x + 3 = 2y + 6 + 10

 x - 2y = 13---(2)


Subtracting (2) from (1), we get

 y = 10

 

Putting y = 10 in (1), we get

x - 3 × 10 = 3

 x = 33

 

x = 33, y = 10

Hence, present ages of woman and daughter are 33 and 10 years.
