  2. 1000.001
  3. 4/5
  4. 10000
  5. 1440
  6. 63
  7. 30 degree
  8. 5
  9. 45m
  10. 1875

EXPLANATION:

  1. Let the number be x.
    Given 2/5 of x = 526
    x = (526 x 5)/2 = 1315
  2. 1000 + 0.001 = 1000.001
  3. 80% = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5
  4. Perimeter = 2 (l + b) = 2 (125 +75) = 2 x 200 = 400 m
    Cost of fencing = 400 x 25 = 10000 rupees
  5. The sum of angles of a polygon with n sides = (n – 2) x 180
    (10 – 2) 180 = 8 x 180 = 1440 degree
  6. 8 and 27 are perfect cubes.
    63 is not a perfect cube
  7. 30 degree
  8. First 5 odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9
    Average = (1+ 3 + 5 + 7 + 9)/5 = 25/5 = 5
  9. 45m
  10. Given 60% are girls. So the remaining 40% are boys
    Let the total number of students be x
    Then 40% of x = 1250
    i.e., x = (1250 x 100)/40 = 3125
    So the number of boys = 3125 – 1250 = 1875
