  • Question 1
    4 / -1

    A car travels a distance of \(840\) km at a uniform speed. If the speed of the car is \(10\) kmph more, it takes two hours less to cover the same distance. The original speed of the car is:

    Solution

    Let the original speed of the car is \(x \) km/hr.

    Then, time taken in moving \(840\) km \(=\frac{840}{x}\) hr

    If speed is going \(10 \) km/hr more \(= x+10\)

    Then, time taken in moving \(840 \) km\(=\frac{840}{x+10}\) hr

    \(\therefore \frac{840}{x}-\frac{840}{x+10}=2\)

    \(\Rightarrow 840(x+10)-840 x=2 x(x+10)\)

    \(\Rightarrow 2 x^{2}+20 x-8400=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow x^{2}+70 x-60 x-4200=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow(x+70)(x-60)=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow x=60\) or \(x=-70\)

    If \(x=-70\) is not true because the speed is not negetive.

    So, speed is \(60\) km/hr.

  • Question 2
    4 / -1

    Mrs. Vijaya takes a total of \(9\) hours \(50\) minutes in walking a distance and running back to same place where she started. She could walk both ways in \(12\) hours\(20\) minutes. The time taken by her to run both ways is:

    Solution

    Time taken by Vijaya to walk both ways \(=12\) hours \(20\) minutes

    \(=(12 \times 60)+20\)

    \(=740\) minutes

    Time taken by Vijaya to walk one way \(=\frac{740}{2}=370\)

    Time taken by Vijaya in walking a distance and running back to same place \(=9\) hours \(50\) minutes

    \(=(9 \times 60)+50\)

    \(=590\) minutes

    Time taken by Vijaya to run one way \(=590-370=220\) minutes

    Time taken by her to run back both ways \(=220 \times 2=440\) minutes

    \(=(7 \times 60)+20\)

    \(=7\) hours \(20\) minutes

    Therefore, the time taken by her to run both ways is \(7\) hours \(20\) minutes.

  • Question 3
    4 / -1

    The length of the bridge, which a train \(130\) m long and traveling at \(45\) km/hr can cross in \(30\) sec, is:

    Solution

    Speed \(=45 \times \frac{5}{18}\) m/sec

    \( =\frac{25}{2}\) m/sec

    Time \(=30\) sec

    Let the length of the bridge be \(x\) m,

    Then, \(\frac{130+x}{30}=\frac{25}{2}\)

    \(\Rightarrow 2(130+x)=750\)

    \(\Rightarrow x=245\) m

  • Question 4
    4 / -1

    Find the value of \(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\), if a and \(b\) are the roots of the quadratic equation \(x^{2}+8 x+4=0\)?

    Solution

    Given,

    \(x^{2}+8 x+4=0\)

    We know that the

    Sum of zeros \(=-\frac{\text { coefficient of } x}{\text { coefficientof } x^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow a+b=-\frac{8}{1}=-8\)

    Also we know that,

    Product of the zeros \(=\frac{\text { constant }}{\text { coefficientof } x^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow\) product of the zeros \(=\frac{4}{1}\)

    \(\Rightarrow a b=4\)

    Now, we will be finding value of the following:-

    \(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\)

    \(=\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{a b}\)

    \(=\frac{(a+b)^{2}-2 a b}{a b}\)

    \(=\frac{64-8}{4}\)

    \(=\frac{56}{4}\)

    \(=14\)

  • Question 5
    4 / -1

    Express \(\frac{2}{3}\) of \(\frac{1}{4}\) of Rs.\(25.20\) as a fraction of \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) of Rs. \(36\).

    Solution
    Let the required fraction be \('m'\).
    As per given conditions, we can say that
    \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} \times 25.20=m \times 1 \frac{1}{2} \times 36\)
    \(\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} \times 25.20=m \times \frac{3}{2} \times 36\)
    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{m}=\frac{2 \times 1 \times 2 \times 25.20}{3 \times 4 \times 3 \times 36}=\frac{7}{90}\)
  • Question 6
    4 / -1

    The average score in Mathematics of \(90\) students of sections \(A\) and \(B\) of class IX was \(63\). The number of students in \(A\) were \(10\) more than those in \(B\). The average score of students in \(A\) was \(30\%\) more than that of students in \(B\). The average score of students in \(B\) is:

    Solution

  • Question 7
    4 / -1

    The sum of two numbers is 50 and their difference is 30. Find the numbers.

    Solution

    Let the numbers be x and y. Now, according to the given condition,

    x + y = 50……………………(i)

    And x - y = 30………………(ii)

    We can write x = 50 - y from equation (i).

    Therefore, on substituting the value of x in equation (ii), we get,

    50 - y - y = 30

    ⇒ 50 - 2y = 30

    ⇒ 2y = 50 - 30 = 20

    ⇒ y = \(\frac {20} {2} \) = 10

    And x = 50 - y

    50 - 10 =40

    Therefore, the two numbers are 40 and 10.

  • Question 8
    4 / -1

    In a mixture, the ratio of alcohol and water is \(6: 5\). When 22 litres mixture are replaced by water, the ratio becomes \(9: 13\). Find the quantity of alcohol after replacement.

    Solution

    Let alcohol \(=6 x\) and water \(=5 x\)

    In 21 litre mixture, alcohol \(=\left(\frac{6}{11}\right) \times 22=12\) litre

    And water \(=\left(\frac{5}{11}\right) \times 22=10\) litre

    (6x -12) : (5x-10+22)= 9 : 13

    \(\Rightarrow 13(6 x-12)=9(5 x+12) \Rightarrow 33 x=264\Rightarrow x=8\)

    So, alcohol after replacement \(=6 \times 8-12=36\) litre

  • Question 9
    4 / -1

    In a box, there are \(8\) red, \(7\) blue and \(6\) green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?

    Solution

    Total number of balls\(=(8+7+6)\)\(=21\)

    \(\therefore n(S)=21\)

    Let \(E=\) event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green that means the ball drawn is blue.

    Number of blue balls \(=7\)\(\therefore n(E)=7\)

    \(\therefore P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{7}{21}\)\(=\frac{1}{3}\)

  • Question 10
    4 / -1

    In \(\triangle ABC , D\) is the mid point of \(BC\) and \(E\) is the mid-point of \(AD\), then area of \(\triangle BED\) is equal to:

    Solution

    A line segment that joins any vertex of the triangle and the mid-point of its opposite side is called a median.

    The area of the triangle is divided in half by a median.

    Since AD is the mid-point of \(B C\),

    \(\Rightarrow AD\) is the median on the line \(BC\)

    Since the median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area. \(\Rightarrow \operatorname{ar}(\triangle ABD )=\frac{1 }{ 2} \times\) area of \(\triangle ABC \quad \cdots(1)\)

    Now, BE is the mid-point of \(AD\),

    \(\Rightarrow BE\) is the median on the line \(AD\)

    \(\Rightarrow \operatorname{ar}(\triangle BED )=\frac{1 }{ 2} \times\) area of \(\triangle ABD\)

    \(\Rightarrow \operatorname{ar}(\triangle BED )=\frac{1 }{ 2} \times\frac{1 }{ 2} \times\) area of \(\triangle ABC \quad[\) Using (1) \(]\)

    \(\Rightarrow \operatorname{ar}(\triangle B E D)=\frac{1 }{ 4} \times\) area of \(\triangle A B C\)
