 9

Concept used: 20. Solution (1)

Sum of Savings = Average saving × Number of Given:
months First glass contain acid= (2/5)
Total income = Total expenditure + Total savings Second glass contains acid= (1/4)
Calculation: Calculation:
Total saving for first 5 months First glass contain acid= (2/5)
= Rs. 2120 × 5 So, first glass contain water = 1 – 2/5 = 3/5
⇒Rs. 10,600 Second glass contains acid = (1/4)
Total savings for the next 3 months So, second glass contains water = 1 – 1/4
= Rs. 4260 × 3 = 3/4
⇒Rs. 12,780 Ratio of alcohol and water in a mixture in first glass
Remaining months = 12 – (5 + 3) months is 2 : 3
⇒ 4 months Ratio of acid and water in a mixture in second glass
Total savings for the last 4 months is 1 : 3
= Rs. 3140 × 4 Ratio of acid and water in a jug
⇒Rs. 12,560 = [(2/5) + (1/4)] : [(3/5) + (3/4)]
So, Total savings for 12 months = [(13/20) : (27/20)]
= Rs. (10,600 + 12,780 + 12,560) = 13 ∶ 27
⇒Rs. 35,940
Now, Average monthly expenditure for the 21. Solution (1)
complete year = Rs. 11,000 Formula used:
⇒ Total expenditure for the complete year Distance = Speed × Time
= Rs. 11000 × 12 Calculation:
⇒Rs. 132,000 Suppose the original speed of the train is V km/hr
Now, Total income Case I: If the train met an accident at point P
= Total expenditure + Total savings ⇒ 100/V + AQ/(2V/3) = (t + 42)/60 –––(1)
⇒Rs. 132,000 + Rs. 35,940 Case II: If the train met an accident at point Q
⇒Rs. 167,940 ⇒ 100/V + 40/V + BQ/(2v/3) = (t + 22)/60 –––
∴ Total income of year is Rs. 167,940 (2)
Equation (1) – Equation (2), we have
19. Solution (3) ⇒ AQ/(2V/3) – 40/V – BQ/(2V/3) = 20/60
Given: ⇒ 40/(2V/3) – 40/v = 1/3
Students who speak Hindi = 60% ⇒ 120/2v – 40/v = 1/3
Students who speak English = 70% ⇒ (120 – 80)/2v = 1/3
Students who can’t speak any of the two languages ⇒ 40/2v = 1/3
= 28% ⇒ 20/v = 1/3
Calculation: ⇒ v = 60 km/hr
Students who can’t speak Hindi ∴The original speed of the train is 60 km/hr.

Percentage of students who can speak both the In further 40 km, Train will run at its usual speed
languages = [100 – (12 + 28 + 2)]% and due to this, the difference in time = 42 minute
⇒ Percentage of students who can speak both the – 22 minute = 20 minute or 1/3 hours.
languages = (100 – 42)% According to question:
⇒ Percentage of students who can speak both the ⇒ 40/(2x/3) – 40/x = 1/3
languages = 58% ⇒ 20/x = 1/3 or x = 60
∴ Percentage of students who can speak both ∴The original speed of the train is 60 km/hr.
languages is 58%

22. Solution (1) So, after 8 months Q invested

⇒ Let the time taken to row 18 km with the flow = Rs. 6000 + Rs. 9000
and to row 14 km against the flow = x hours. ⇒Rs. 15,000
⇒ Speed of the boat against the flow = 14/x So, investment of Q in last 4 months
⇒ Speed of the boat with the flow = 18/x = Rs. 15000 × 4
∴ 63/(18/x) + 63/(14/x) = 16 ⇒Rs. 60,000
⇒ 63x/18 + 63x/14 = 16 So, Total investment of Q
⇒ (18x + 14x)/252 = 16/63 = Rs. 48,000 + 60,000
⇒ x = 2 hours ⇒Rs. 1,08,000
Now, R joined the partnership after 8 months which
⇒ Let the speed of boat and stream be u and v
means he invested for only 4 months
respectively.
So, R’s investment in 4 months
⇒ Speed of boat with flow = u + v = 18/2
= Rs. 12000 × 4
= 9 km/hr
⇒Rs. 48,000
⇒ Speed of boat against flow = u – v = 14/2 = 7
Now,
km/hr
P = Rs. 80,000
∴ (u + v) – (u – v) = 9 – 7 Q = Rs. 108,000
⇒ 2v = 2 ∴ v = 1 km/hr R = Rs. 48,000
∴P : Q : R = 80,000 : 108,000 : 48,000
23. Solution (4) ⇒P : Q : R = 20 : 27 : 12
Given: Now, as we know that the profit is proportional to
P invested Rs. 8000 and after 8 months he withdrew the Total investment
half his investment. So, if 20 = Rs. 8000
Q invested Rs. 6000 and after 8 months he invested ⇒ 12 = Rs. 4800
1.5 times of his investment more. ∴the profit share of R = Rs. 4800
R joined the partnership with Rs. 12000 after 8 Alternate Method
months. P’s Q’s R’s
Calculation: investment investment investment
P’s investment in 8 months = Rs. 8000 × 8 (in Rs.) (in Rs.) (in Rs.)
⇒ P’s investment in 8 months = Rs. 64,000
After 8 months, P withdrew half his investment i.e. 8000 × 8 6000 × 8
–
Rs. 4000 = 64000 = 48000
So, P’s investment in remaining 4 months 4000 × 4 15000 × 4 12000 × 4
= Rs. 4000 × 4 = 16000 = 60000 = 48000
⇒ P’s investment in 4 months = Rs. 16,000
∴ Total investment of P Total
= Rs. 64,000 + Rs. 16,000 Investment 80000 108000 48000
⇒ Total investment of P = Rs. 80,000
Ratio ⇒ 20 27 12
Now, Q’s investment for 8 months
= Rs. 6000 × 8
Now, as we know that the profit is proportional to
⇒ Q’s investment for 8 months = Rs. 48,000 the Total investment
After 8 months, Q invested 1.5 times of his So, if 20 = Rs. 8000
investment more i.e. Rs. 6000 × 1.5 ⇒ 12 = Rs. 4800
= Rs. 9000 ∴the profit share of R = Rs. 4800

24. Solution (2) Here, we will be using the fundamental concept of

No. of people tested positive in July = 48149 ratio.
Total people tested positive = 7% of 1200000 = Calculation:
84000. Let ‘x’ be the number of books that were printed in
∴Required percentage the year 2017.
= (48149 ÷ 84000) × 100 = 57.32% ⇒The ratio of the number of books that were
printed in the year 2012 to the number of books that
25. Solution (1) were printed in the year 2017 = 200 ∶ x
Number of people tested positive in may from ⇒The ratio of printing cost in the year 2012 to the
Mumbai year 2017 = 96 ∶ 120 = 4 ∶ 5
= (50% of 1200000) – 230068 = 369932 Now,
Number of people tested positive in april from ⇒ Total money spent on book printing = Number
Chennai = 147890 of printed books × The cost of printing a book
∴Required average = (369932 + 147890)/2 = ⇒The ratio of the total money spent = The ratio of
258911 printed books × The ratio of printing cost
⇒ 5 ∶ 6 = (200 ∶ x) × (4 ∶ 5)
26. Solution (3) ∵The compound ratio of ratios (a ∶ b) and (c ∶ d) =
Total number of case in april = 230068 + 48149 + ac ∶bd
83468 + 147890 = 509575 ⇒ 5/6 = 800/5x
Total number of case in may = 1200000 – 509575 ⇒ 5/6 = 160/x
= 690425 ⇒ x = (6/5) × 160 = 192
∴ Difference = 690425 – 509575 = 180850 ∴ 192 books were printed in the year 2017.
Total money spent for printing books in 2012
27. Solution (2) = 200 × 96 = Rs. 19200
Total people tested positive in Delhi = 7% of Now, Increased money spent in 2017
1200000 = 84000 = 19200 × 6/5 = Rs. 23040
Total people tested positive in Mumbai ∴ Number of books printed = 23040/120
= 50% of 1200000 = 600000 = 192
∴ Required percent = (84000 ÷ 600000) × 100 =
14% 30. Solution (2)
Let P = principal, R = rate of interest and N = time
28. Solution (4) period
People recovered in the month of april Compound interest = P(1 + R/100)n – P
= 70% of 147890 = 103523 Given, sum = 45000
People Died in the month of april Ratio of two parts = 4 : 5
= 10% of 147890 = 14789 Two parts of sum = 45000 × 4/9 and 45000 × 5/9
∴ Active cases = 147890 – 103523 – 14789 = 29578 = 20000 and 25000
Given, Compound interest

GIVEN: Given:
Quantity of mixture = 50 liters Five dice are tossed together
Ratio of soda and water = 3 : 2 Concept used:
CONCEPT: The classical definition of probability
The ratio of mixture before removal and after
Formula used:
removal is same.
Probability = Favorable Outcome/Total Outcome
CALCULATION:
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
Let the quantity of milk and water be 3x and 2x.
So, total quantity of mixture = 5x Calculation:
⇒ 5x = 50 L Total number of outcomes possible when a die is
⇒ x = 10 L tossed = 6
Initial Quantity of soda = 30 L Hence, the total number of outcomes possible
Initial Quantity of water = 20 L when 5 dice are thrown, n(S) = 65
After removal of 10 L mixture (6 L soda and 4 L n(E) = Number of ways of getting different faces in
water will be removed), all the dice
⇒ Remaining quantity of soda The number of arrangements of 6 numbers 1, 2, 3,
= 30 – 6 = 24 L 4, 5, 6 by taking all at a time = 6!
⇒ Remaining quantity of water P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
= 20 – 4 = 16 L
⇒ 6!/65
After adding 12 L soda and 12 L water,
∴ The probability of getting different faces in all
⇒ Final quantity of soda = 24 + 12 = 36 L
of the dice is 6!/65.
