13. A car is moving at an average speed of 56 km/hr. How much distance will it cover in 4 h?
9 2
 2 506
Sol:- Speed of the car = 56 km/hr = km/hr
9 9

1 9
Time = 4 hr = hr
2 2
Distance = speed × time

506 9
= × = 253 km

20. Find two positive rational numbers whose sum is 1 and if the number is divided by the greater,
1
the result is .
2
Sol:- Let the rational numbers be x and y

x + y = 1 -------------- eq 1
x 1
y
= 2 , y = 2 x ------------- eq 2

Put y = 2 x in eq 1

x+ 2x=1
