(1)26 km/hr 

(2) 35 km/hr 

(3) 36 km/hr 

(4) 63 km/hr 

ANSWERS AND SOLUTION :
1.(2) If the marked price of the wrist watch be Rs. x, then
x * 90/100 = (450 * 120)/100 = 540
=> x = (540 * 100)/90 = Rs. 600

2.(1) Difference = Rs.(8652 – 8400)
= Rs. 252
so Rate = (2 * Difference)/S.I * 100
= (2 * (252/8400) * 100 = 6%

3.(2) Ratio of their efficiency
= 100 : 160 = 5 : 8
so Ratio of time taken = 8 : 5
so Time taken by B
= 12 * 5/8 = 15/2 = 7 1/2 days

4.(2) Capacity of the tank = x gallons.
so Part of the tank filled in 1 minute
= x/24 + x/40 – 30
so 60 (x/24 + x/40 – 30)  = x
so x/24 + x/40 – x/60 = 30
=> (5x + 3x – 2x)/120 = 30
=> x/20 = 30
x = 600 gallons

5.(1)
CP of article = Rs. x
so Marked price = 130x/100 = Rs. 13x/100
so S.P.
= 13x/10 * 85/100 = Rs. 221x/200
so 221x/200 – x = 84 => 21x/200 = 84
=> x = (84 * 200)/21 = Rs.  800

6.(2) Marked price = Rs. x. then.
(x * 95)/100 = (95 * 110)/100
=> x = Rs. 110

7.(4) If b invested for y months, then
(5* 8)/(6 * y) = 5/9
=> y = 12 months

8.(1) volume of the cylinder = πr^2 h
= π × (3)^2  ×8 = 72 πcm^3
Volume of one coin
= π×(0.75)^2 ×0.2
so Number of coins
= 72π/(π ×0.75 × 0.75 ×0.2) = 640

9.(2) If the distance between the school and home be x km. then
x/3 – x/4 = 10/60
=> x/12 = 1/6
x = 1/6 * 12 = 2 km

10.(3) 60 kmph = (60 * 5)/18 m/sec
= 50/3 m/sec
If the speed of second train be x m/sec, then
50/3 – x = 120/18 = 20/3
x = 50/3 – 20/3 = 10 m/sec
= (10 * 18/5) kmph
= 36 kmph

(a) 2 : 3 

(b) 3 : 2 

(c) 3 : 4 

(d) 4 : 3

ANSWERS AND SOLUTION
1.(d) V = 4/3π (R^3 – r^3) = 4/3π (6^3 - 4^3)
= 4/3 π(152) = 608/3 π cm^3

2.(b) Volume of pyramid = 1/3 * base area * height
= 1/3 * 20 * 15 = 100 cm^3

3.(d)
Volume of cylinder/volume of cone = (π r^2 h)/((1/3)πr^2h)=3/1

4.(c) 1/3 ×π × (5x)^2 ×(12x)=314 2/7=2200/7
=> x = 1
so r = 5 and h = 12
so l = 13cm

5.(a) V = 1/3πr^2h
New radius = 2r and new height = 2h
so New volume = V1 =  1/3 π(2r)^2(2h)
=8(1/3 πr^2 h)= 8v

6.(c) Area of the base = 1/2 * (diagonal)^2
= 1/2 * 24√2 × 24√2= 576 sq.metre.
so Volume of pyramid = 1/3 * height * area of base
=> 1728 = 1/3 * h * 576
=> h = (1728 * 3)/576 = 9 metre

7.(d) (curved surface of cylinder)/(curved surface of cone)=8/5
=> (2π rh)/( πr√(h^2+ r^2 ) )=8/5
h/(√(h^2+ r^2) )  = 4/5
On squaring both sides,
h^2/( h^2+ r^2 )= 16/25
⇒ (h^2+ r^2)/( h^2 )= 25/16
=> 1 + (r^2)/( h^2 )= 25/16
⇒ r^2/( h^2 )=25/16- 1= 9/16
so r/h = 3/4

8.(d)
9.(c) Area of the base = 40 * 40
= 1600 sq.cm
Volume of pyramid = 1/3 (area of base) *  height
=> 8000 = 1/3 * 1600 * h
=> h = (8000 * 3)/1600 = 15cm

10.(b) Let the radius of cylinder be r cm and its height be h cm.
so 2πrh = 4πr^2 , h = 2r
so Ratio of volumes = πr^2 h ∶ 4/3 πr^3
= 2πr^3 ∶ 4/3 πr^3 = 3∶2
