Explanation
1. Let the number be x.
According to the question,
2. Required number = 786 × 964 = 757704
3. Let the number be x.
According to the question,
X2 – (46)2 = 485
X2 – 2601= 485
X2 = 2116 + 485 = 2601
X = 51
4. Let the maximum marks be x.
According to the questions,
5. Let the smallest even number be x.
According to the question,
X + x +2 + x +4 + x + 6 = 180
4x + 12 = 180
4x = 168
X + 6 = 42 + 6 = 48
Required sum = 50 + 52 + 54 + 56 = 212
6. Let the original fraction be x/y.
According to the question,
7. Required percentage
8. Let the percentage ages of the women and her daughter be 5x and x yr respectively.
According to the question,
5x + x = 21 × 2
6x = 42
Woman’s age = 5 × 7 = 35 yr
Required ratio = (35 + 5): (7 +5) = 40 : 12 = 10 : 3
9. The average
10. Let the cost prices of 1 bowl and 1 bottle are Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
According to the question,
4x + 6y = 142.5
2 (4x + 6y) = 2 × 142.5
8x + 12 y = Rs. 285
