1) a)Convert 30kmh-1, 50kmh-1, 72kmh-1, 100kmh-1 and 144kmh-1 to ms-1.
b) Convert 100ms-1, 150ms-1, 200ms-1, 1000ms-1 and 1440ms-1 to kmh-1.

2 a) A boy runs 200m in 24 seconds find his speed.

b) A car travelling at a average speed of 45kmh-1 takes two hours to go from city A to city B find
the distance between cities.
3) A bird flying at a constant speed takes two minutes to cover 500m. Find its speed.
4) Find the time taken to travel 3000m at a constant speed of 12ms-1.
5) A train 1800m long takes 2 minutes to pass a signal post. Find its speed in ms-1. What is it’s
speed in kmh-1?
6) A train 1800m long takes 5 minutes to pass a platform of 3200m long. Find its speed in ms-1.
What is it’s speed in kmh-1?
7) Distance between two cities are 80km.A vehicle travelling on city to other, travels the first 20km
at a speed of 40kmh-1, next 40km at a speed of 60kmh-1, then stops for 10 minutes. The last part of
the journey is travelled at 50kmh-1

a) Find the time taken in minutes of each part of the journey.
b) What is the average speed of the vehicle?
8) A cyclist travels 25 kilometres at 20 kmh-1 and then a further 80 kilometres at 25 kmh-1.. Find

a) total time taken
b) his average speed.

Exercise 2
1) The length, breadth and the height of a cuboid shaped water tank is 2.5m, 2m, and 2m
respectively.
a) Find its base area.
b) find the capacity of its in l.
c) A pipe fills half of the tank in 10 minutes. Find the rate of water flow.
2) A cylindrical water tank has a volume of 5000l. If the base cross sectional area is 2m2 find the
height of the tank.
a) A pipe fills the tank at 250ml per second find the raise of water level in 10 minutes
b) If water is flown at 200lm per second from an outlet pipe what is the drop of water level
in twenty minutes if only the outlet pipe is kept open.
c) What will happen to the water level of the tank in both pipes are kept open?
d) In that situation find the rate of the change of the height of water in the tank.
3) Find how many 500ml bottles are needed to raise the water level by 50cm of a tank having a
rectangular cross section of length 2m and width 1.5m
4) In a cylindrical pipe water flows at a rate of 50cm per minute. If the pipe supply 22l in 100 seconds
find the radius of the pipe in cm. Give the answer as a surd in the most simple form.

Compound Interest :- When money is deposited in banks, the interest is calculated on the interest
earned in the previous year. This is compound interest.
Exercise 3:-
1) A person deposits Rs.25,000.00 in a bank which pays 20% annual compound interest.
Find the interest for each year and accumulated amount in two years.

2) Find the amount a person gets after 3 years if he deposits Rs.30,000.00 in a bank which
pays 15% annual compound interest.

3) A person deposits Rs.50,000.00 in a bank which pays 18% annual compound interest for
two years. At the beginning of the second he takes a loan of Rs. 50,000.00 at 20% simple
interest. Can he settle the loan by withdrawing the deposit at the end of the second year?. If
so how much will be left? If not how much more he has to pay?

4) A person starts a fixed deposit with Rs. 10,000. The interest he earns in the second year is
Rs. 1344.00. If the annual rate of interest is R% find the first year interest in terms of R and
show that R2+100R-1344 = 0.

Solve the quadratic equation by factorising and show R = 12.

5) Show that the accumulated amount of a p deposit at the annual rate of 15% in one year is

. Hence find the accumulated amount of a p deposit at the annual rate of 15% in two
years .
A person earns an interest of Rs.99,187.50 from a deposit at the annual rate of 15% in two
years. Find his deposit.
