Q1 Text Solution: Q4 Text Solution:
Let the salaries of Akash, Bablu, and Chintu will Ratio of amount collected from first and second
be 2x, 3x, and 5x respectively. class = 7×4 : 3×6
2x
After 15% increase in Akash's salary = 15 × 100
= => 28 : 18 = 14 : 9
0.3x Let amount collected from first and second class
New salary = 2x + 0.3x = 2.3x be 14x and 9x respectively,
3x According to question,
New salary of Bablu = 3x + 10 × 100 = 3.3x
5x 14x + 9x = 46000
New salary of Chintu = 5x + 20× 100 = 6x
New ratio = 2.3x : 3.3x : 6x = 23:33:60 23x = 46000
x = 2000
Q2 Text Solution:
Amount collected from first class passengers = 14
Let the third number be x
140x 7x × 2000
Then first number will be 100 = 5
=> Rs.28000
And second number will be 160x
100
= 8x

Q5 Text Solution:
Difference of two numbers = 8x

– 7x

= x5
x Let income of A, B and C be x, y and z
Required ratio = 5
x = x5 × x1 respectively.
1
1 1 2
=1:5 20% = 5 , 25% = 4 and 40% = 5
x y 2z
Hence, savings of A, B and C will be 5 , 4 and 5 .
Q3 Text Solution:
x 4x
New ratio is 3 ∶ 7. Now, expenditure of A = x − 5 = 5
y 3y
The price of the diamond before broken is Rs. Expenditure of B = y − 4 = 4
15000. Expenditure of C = z − 2z
5
= 3z5
Let the weight of each piece of diamond be 3x According to question
4x 3y
and 7x. : 4 = 16: 12
5
Total weight of diamond = 3x + 7x = 10x 16x
=16:12
15y
Cost of the diamond = (10x)2 = 100x2 ⇒ x : y= 5 : 4 ----(1)
Cost of first piece = (3x)2 = 9x2 3y 3z
2 2
And, 4 : 5
= 12 : 9
Cost of second piece = (7x) = 49x 3y 3z
: = 4:3
Total cost of diamond after weight = 9x2 + 49x2 = 4 5
y:z=16:15----(2)
58x2
Combining (1) and (2), we get
⇒ New cost = 58x2
x : y : z = 20 : 16: 15
According to the question,
Given That total income of A ,B and C are =10200
100x2 = 15000
∴ Income of A = ( 20 ) × 10200 = Rs. 4000.
⇒ x2 = 150 51
The loss in the price of diamond after broken = Q6 Text Solution:
2 2
100x – 58x Let the income of Ashu in 2020 and 2019 be 3x
2
⇒ The required loss = 42x and 5x respectively.
⇒ 150×42 Let the income of Ravi in 2020 and 2019 be 3y
⇒ Rs.6300 and 2y respectively
∴ The loss in the price of the diamond after Since, the ratio of their income in the year 2019
breaking is Rs.6300. was 5 : 4

Q1 Text Solution: And,
Let the distribution of amounts among P, Q, and 3y × 5 - 4x × 2 = 51
R be 7x, 8x, and 9x respectively. 15y - 8x = 51 —---------(2)
ATQ, (7 + 8 + 9)x = 9600 From equations (1) and (2):
24x = 9600 15y - 8(8 - y) = 51
i.e. x = 400. 15y - 64 + 8y = 51
So the respective amounts of P, Q, and R are y=5
2800, 3200, and 3600. From equation (1):
Let the expenditures be in the ratio 3y, 2y, and 4y x=3
ATQ, 4y = 400. So, the total amount received by B = (4 × 3 × 2)
y = 100. + (3 × 5 × 5)
So the respective expenditures are 300, 200 and = ₹99
400.
Q4 Text Solution:
Hence the savings of P, Q, and R are 2500, 3000, 3
Number of Steel coins = 5 × 500 = 300
3200.
Number of iron coins = 500 − 300 = 200
So the ratio is 25:30:32.
So; after converting steel coins into iron coins;
Q2 Text Solution: Number of steel coins left = 13 × 300 = 200
Let total people who read newspaper A and B is Thus,
‘2x’ and ‘3x’ respectively. Number of iron coins = 200 + 100 = 300
People who read Hindi newspaper A =
4 Q5 Text Solution:
2x × 5
= 1.6x
Let the weight of soaked gram seeds = 8x
People who read English newspaper A =
1
And the weight of soaked kidney beans = 9x
2x × = 0.4x
5 ATQ (8x + 9x) = 170 i.e. x=10
People who read Hindi newspaper B = So the weight of soaked gram seeds = 80
1
3x × 3
=x the weight of soaked kidney beans = 90
People who read English newspaper B = Let the weight of kidney beans be reduced by x
2
3x × 3
= 2x gm
Total people who read Hindi newspaper (both A (80−8)
6
ATQ (90−x) = 5
and B) = 1.6x + x = 2.6x
72 × 5 = 6 × (90 − x) ⇒ x = 30.
Total people who read English newspaper (both
A and B) = 0.4x + 2x = 2.4x Q6 Text Solution:
Required ratio = 2.6x: 2.4x = 13: 12 Given the ratio of last year income of P, Q, and R
is 3:4:5
Q3 Text Solution:
The ratio of their last year income to the current
Let the number of 2 rupees coins received by A
year's income is 4:5, 2:3, and 3:4
and B be 5x and 4x respectively.
So, the ratio of their current year income is :
Also, let the number of 5 rupee coins received by 3 4 5
×5: ×3: × 4.
A and B be 2y and 3y respectively. 4 2 3
I.e. 45: 72 : 80.
So,
ATQ, Total income of P,Q, and R = Rs 88,650
5x × 2 + 2y × 5 = 80
i.e. (45 + 72 + 80) units = 88650
x + y = 8 —---------(1)
