ANSWERS:

  1. 40, 32
  2. Circle
  3. 2
  4. 80
  5. 35: 3
  6. 400
  7. 40 degree
  8. 3
  9. 4.5
  10. 175 rupees

Explanation:

  1. Let the numbers be x and y
    Given x + y = 72 and x – y = 8
    Add these equations, 2x = 80
    x = 40
    Therefore, y = 72 – 40 = 32
  2. Circle
  3. Let the number be x
    Given 6x + 5 = 17
    6x = 17 – 5 = 12
    x = 12/6 = 2
  4. 5
    5 + 13 = 18
    18 + 13 = 31
    31 + 18 = 49
    49 + 31 = 80
  5. When father was 35 years age, his son’s age will be 3 years
    So the ratio is 35: 3
  6. 12% of x = 48
    12x/100 = 48
    12x = 4800
    x = 4800/12 = 400
  7. Given ratio is 2: 3: 4
    Sum of the parts = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9
    Measure of each angles are (2/9) x 180 = 40 degree
    (3/9) x 180 = 60 degree
    (4/9) x 180 = 80 degree
    So smallest measure of angle is 40 degree
  8. Given 4x = 2x + 6
    4x – 2x = 6
    2x = 6
    x = 6/2 = 3
  9. 4.5
  10. Cost of 15 pens = 105 rupees
    Cost of 1 pen = 105/15 = 7 rupees
    Cost of 25 pens = 7 x 25 = 175 rupees
