(b) 3 m, 4.5 m, 6 m 
(c) 4 m, 6 m, 8 m 
(d) 5 m, 7.5 m, 10 m 

ANSWERS AND SOLUTION
1.(c); Side of tiles = HCF of 999 cm and 407 cm
= 37
so Required no. of tiles = (999 * 407)/ (37 * 37) = 297

2.(b); Let the fare from p to Q = Rs. X
And the fare form P to R = Rs. Y
According to question,
5x + 10y = 350 …….(i)
x + y = 42 ……………..(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
x = Rs. 14/-  y = Rs.  28/-

3.(c) lest cost price =x
marked price = x * 140/100 = 14x/10
Selling price = 14x/10 * 90/100
= 126x/100
profit= sp-cp = 126x/100 - x= 26x/100
Net profit = 26x/100 * 90/100
so 468 = (26*90)/(100*100)x
x = 2000

4.(b) Let smaller number = x
so Larger number = 80 – x
Accroding to question,
80 – x = 4x + 5
5x = 75
=> X = 15

5.(c); Let salary of x = Rs.x
Salary of y = x*100/120
= Rs. 10x/12
Salary of X – salary of Y = x – 10x/12 = 2x/12 = x/6
so Required salary = x/6/x * 100 = 50/3%

6.(d)
By law of mixture
1/4          3/8


     x

3                2

so (3/8 -x)/(x-1/4) = 3/2
3/4-2x=3x-3/4
5x=6/4 = 3/2 =>x = 3/10

7.(c) Let A’s age = 2x
so B’s age = 5x
According to question,
(2x + 8)/(5x + 8) = 1/2
4x + 16 = 5x + 8
X = 8
so Required differecne = (5x – 2x)
= 3x
= 3 * 8 = 24 years

8.(b) A = P (1 + r/100)^n
A = 7500 (1 + 16/100)^2
= 7500 * 29/25 * 29/25
= Rs. 10,092

9.(b) A’s one day work = 1/24
so B’s one day work = 1/24 * 160/100 = 1/15
so B’s can do a piece of work in 15 days.

10.(b) ; Let the  dimensions by 2x, 3x and 4x
According to question
2(2x * 3x + 3x * 4x + 4x * 2x)(10 – 8) = 234
=> 4 * 26x^2 = 234
=> X^2 = 234/104 = 2.35
X = 1.5
Dimensions are 3m, 4.5 m and 6 m.
