Step 1
According to the question, we have to add the following rational numbers:

(2) b. 49, 17

Step 1
Let us assume that the two 2-digit numbers are,
10x1 + y1 and 10x2 + y2

Step 2
Given : The product of their units digit is 63 and tens digits is 4,
Therefore, x1 × x2 = 4 -----(1)
y1 × y2 = 63 -----(2)
and the product of the two numbers is 833,
(10x1 + y1) (10x2 + y2) = 833 -----(3)

Step 3
Now, we notice that there are four variables and only three equations have been specified. We know
that four variables cannot be uniquely determined from three equations. Therefore, let us check which
option satisfies the above three equations.

Step 4
If we look at option b. (49, 17), we notice that the product of their units digit is 63, the product of their
tens digits is 4, and the product of two numbers = 49 × 17 = 833.

Step 5
Since, 49, 17 satisfies all the three equations, we can say that the two numbers are 49, 17.

If we look at the circle chart carefully, we notice that the subject which has least covered area in the
circle chart is Science.

Step 2
We know that the least covered area in the circle chart implies the least liked subject.
Therefore, the least liked subject among the students of Srinagar is Science.

Step 3
Hence, option d is the correct answer.

(4) a. 4784

Step 1
Economy class tickets sold by the company = 66976.
Loss on every economy class ticket = ₹ 109.
Thus, the loss on 66976 economy class tickets = 66976 × 109
= ₹ 7300384

Step 2
The break-even point is the point at which cost/expenses and revenue are equal, there is no net loss or
gain. Therefore, the loss on 66976 economy class tickets is equal to the profit on 4784 business class
tickets.

Step 3
Profit on 4784 business class tickets = ₹ 7300384
Total profit made by the company on every business class ticket = ₹ 1526
7300384
Therefore, the number the tickets on which the company makes the profit of ₹ 7300384 =
1526
= 4784 tickets

Step 4
Thus, option a is the correct answer.

According to the question, the perimeter of the square board is m and we have to calculate the
6
length of each side.

Step 2
We know that the perimeter of a square = 4 × side of the square
So, to calculate the side of the given square, we have to divide the perimeter by 4.
Side of the square = Perimeter of the square ÷ 4

Step 1
We are given the fruits' name and their quantity available with a fruit vendor. We will represent the
information using a bar graph with vertical bars.

Step 2
The information in the table is represented below through a bar graph where the x-axis (horizontal axis)
represents the fruit's name and the y-axis (vertical axis) represents the number of fruits available with
the vendor.

(7) -1

Step 1
It is given that a = -1.

Step 2

The product of (a2) and (a2 - 2) = (a2) × (a2 - 2)

By putting a = -1, we get:
(a2) × (a2 - 2) = { (-1)2 } × { (-1)2 - 2 }
= (1) × (-1)
= -1

Step 3

Thus, the product of (a2) and (a2 - 2) for a = -1 is -1.

(9) A) 17 13

Step 1
We know that whenever we multiply two terms with the same base, we can add the
exponents and whenever we divide two terms with the same base, we can subtract the
exponents. Let us keep these facts in mind and simplify the given expression.

Step 2
The given expression is:
17 3 × 17 6 × 17 -9
× 17 8
17 -5

17 3 + 6 - 9
