Q.3 The number is 7

Q4 The consecutive natural numbers are 16, 17 and 18

Q.5 The number is 3

Q.6 The three consecutive odd numbers are 33, 35 and 37

Q7 20 coins of 50 p and 80 coins of 25 paise

Q.8 Solution. Let's consider cost of the pen = q

cost of the notebook = q + 20

, the linear equation will be

3(q + 20) + 5q = 460

=> 3q + 60 + 5q = 460

=> 8q + 60 = 460

=> 8q = 400

=> q = 400 ÷ 8

=> q = 50

e cost of the pen and notebook is Rs. 50 and Rs. 70 respectively.
