10 (4) + 1 = 41

Solution 14

Let the digit at unit’s place be x and the digit at ten’s place be y.

Required no. = 10y + x

If the digit’s are reversed

Reversed no. = 10x + y

According to the question,

Solution 17

Let present age of A = x years

And present age of B = y years

According to the question,

Five years ago,

x - 5 = 4(y - 5)

x - 4y = -15...(1)

Five years later,

x + 5 = 2(y + 5)

 

Now subtracting (1)from(2)

 

From (1)

x - 4 (10) = -15

x = 25

Present ages of A and B are 25 years and 10 years respectively.

Solution 18

Let A’s presentage be x years

and B’s present age be y years

According to the question

x = y + 20

x - y = 20...(1)

Five years ago,

x - 5 = 3(y - 5)

Subtracting (1)from(2),

 

y = 15

From (1)

x = 15 + 20

x = 35

Thus, present ages of A and B are 35 years and 15 years.

Solution 20

Solution 21

Let A’s annual in come = Rs.x

and B’s annual income = Rs. y

According to the question,


4x - 3y = 0...(1)

and,

 

7x - 5y = 10000...(2)

Multiplying equation no. (1) by 7 and (2) by 4.and subtracting (4) from (3)

 

From (1)

4x - 3 (40000) = 0

x = 30000

Thus, A’s income in Rs. 30,000 and B’s income is Rs. 40,000.

Solution 22

Let the no. of pass candidates be x

and the no. of fail candidates be y.

According to the question,

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

and

 

x - 5y = -30...(2)

 

From (1)

- 4(30) = 0

x = 120

Total students appeared = x + y

= 120 + 30

= 150

Solution 23

Let the numberof pencils with A = x

and the number of pencils with B = y.

If A gives 10 pencils to B,

y + 10 = 2(x - 10)

2x - y = 30...(1)

If B gives to pencils to A

y - 10 = x + 10

 

From (1)

2(50) - y = 30

y = 70

Thus, A has 50 pencils and B has 70 pencils.

Solution 24

Let the number of adults = x

and the number of children = y

According to the question,

x + y = 1250...(1)

and 75x + 25y = 61250

 

x = 6000

From (1)

600 + y = 1250

y = 650

Thus, number of adults = 600

and the number of children = 650.

Solution 25

Let Rohit has Rs. x

and Ajay has Rs. y

When Ajay gives Rs. 100 to Rohit

x + 100 = 2(y - 100)

x - 2y = -300...(1)

When Rohit gives Rs. 10 to Ajay

6(x-10) = y + 10

6x - y = 70...(2)

Multiplying equation no. (2) By 2.

x = 40


From (1)

40 - 2y = -300

-2y = -340

y = 170

 

Thus, Rohit has Rs. 40

and Ajay has Rs. 170

 

Solution 26

Solution 27

Let the digit at ten’s place be x

And the digit at unit’s place be y

Required number = 10x + y

When the digits are interchanged,

Reversed number = 10y + x

According to the question,

7(10x + y) = 4(10y + x)

66x = 33y

2x - y = 0...(1)

Also,

From (1) 2(3) - y = 0

y = 6

Thus, Required number = 10(3) + 6 = 36

begin mathsize 14px style Let space the space tens space digit space of space the space number space be space straight x space and space the space units space digit space be space straight y.
So comma space the space number space is space 10 straight x plus straight y.
The space number space obtained space by space interchanging space the space digits space will space be space 10 straight y plus straight x.
According space to space question comma space we space have
10 straight x plus straight y plus 10 straight y plus straight x equals 121
rightwards double arrow 11 straight x plus 11 straight y equals 121
rightwards double arrow 11 left parenthesis straight x plus straight y right parenthesis equals 121
rightwards double arrow straight x plus straight y equals 11 space space space space space space space space space space.... left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis
And comma
straight x minus straight y equals 3 space space space space space space space space space space.... left parenthesis ii right parenthesis
Adding space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis space and space left parenthesis ii right parenthesis comma space we space get
2 straight x equals 14
rightwards double arrow straight x equals 7
rightwards double arrow straight y equals 11 minus straight x equals 11 minus 7 equals 4
Hence comma space the space number space is space 74. end style

Solution 17

Let the cost price of article A = Rs. x

and the cost price of articles B = Rs. y

According to the question,

(x + 5% of x) +(y + 7% of y) = 1167

105x + 107y = 1167...(1)

and

 

107x + 105y = 116500...(2)

Adding(1) and (2)

212x + 212y = 233200

x + y = 1100...(3)

subtracting (2)from (1)

-2x + 2y = 200

 y = 600

from (3)

x +600 = 1100

x = 500

Thus, cost price of article A is Rs. 500.

and that of article B is Rs. 600.

Solution 18

Let Pooja’s 1 day work =

and Ritu’s 1 day work =

According the question,

 

and,

 

 Using the value of y from (2) in (1)

From (2)

y = 30

Pooja will complete the work in 40 days and Ritu will complete the work in 30 days.

Solution 19

Weight of Mr. Ahuja = x kg

and weight of Mrs. Ahuja = y kg.

After the dieting,

x - 5 = y

x - y = 5...(1)

and,

7x - 8y = -32...(2)

Multiplying equation no. (1) by 7, we get

 

Now subtracting (2) from (3)

From (1)

x - 67 = 5x = 72

Thus, weight of Mr. Ahuja = 72 kg.

and that of Mr. Anuja = 67 kg.
