Answers 

1(3); Time=[(35-30)/(30×10-35×8)]×100=25

2.(3); A=P(1+r1/100)(1+r2/100)(1+r3/100)

12945.93=P(1+7/100)(1+9/100)(1+11/100)

P=10000

3(2);  2 R 36

72

3 V 24

Work done in 6 days=6x2=12

Remaining time=10/(3+1)=12 days

4.(3);

Let distance be x

x/25+x/15=8

x=75

Total distance=75x2=150

5(2);

Let the speed of train be U & V

U+V=150/5=30……………(i)

U=V+10 …………(ii)

From Eq. (i) & (ii)

U=20, V=10

6.(2);

x=11/3, 9/2

Y=-2, -7/5

7(4);

x=3, 4/5

Y=4/5, -3

8.(1);

x=+-3.13

Y=5, 11/2

9.(2);

x=-7

Y=-8

10.(3);

x=3/2, 4

Y=4, 9/2
