2. Discount and Profit
a) Write the formula to find the discount percent. [1K]
Ans: Discount %=DMP×100%\text{Discount \%} = \frac{D}{MP} \times 100 \%
b) How much discount did Ramdev get on a 7% discount? [1U]
Discount = 7% of Rs. 3,900
= (7/100) × 3900 = Rs. 273
Ans: Rs. 273
c) What was the cost price if the shopkeeper gained 17% after giving 7% discount? [2A]
Selling Price (SP) = 3900 - 273 = 3627
17% profit ⇒ 3627 = x × 1.17
Let Cost Price (CP) be x.
x=36271.17=Rs.3,100x = \frac{3627}{1.17} = Rs. 3,100
Ans: Rs. 3,100

5. Area of Land and Well
a) Write the formula to find the area of the well. [1K]
Ans: πr2\pi r^2
b) What is the area of the well? [1U]
Diameter = 1.4 m, so radius r = 0.7 m
Area = πr2=3.14×0.72=3.14×0.49=1.54\pi r^2 = 3.14 \times 0.7^2 = 3.14 \times 0.49 = 1.54 m²
Ans: 1.54 m²
c) What is the area of land except the well? [2A]
Total land area (trapezium) = 2200 m² (implied)
Land except well = 2200 - 1.54 = 2198.46 m²
Ans: 2198.46 m²
d) Is 190 meters of wire enough to fence the land? [2A]
To determine this, calculate the perimeter of the trapezium:
Two parallel sides: 70 m and 40 m
Vertical side: 40 m
Slanted side: Use Pythagoras: (70−40)2+402=302+402=900+1600=2500=50\sqrt{(70 -
40)^2 + 40^2} = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2} = \sqrt{900 + 1600} = \sqrt{2500} = 50 m
Perimeter = 70 + 40 + 40 + 50 = 200 m
Bimala has 190 m wire, which is not enough. She needs 10 meters more.
Ans: No, 190 meters is not enough because the perimeter is 200 meters.
6. Laws of Indices and Algebra
a) Express xmxn\frac{x^m}{x^n} as the power of x. [1K]
Ans: xm−nx^{m - n}
b) Simplify: xx−y−xx+y\frac{x}{x - y} - \frac{x}{x + y} [2U]
x(x+y)−x(x−y)(x−y)(x+y)=x2+xy−x2+xyx2−y2=2xyx2−y2\frac{x(x + y) - x(x - y)}{(x - y)(x + y)} = \
frac{x^2 + xy - x^2 + xy}{x^2 - y^2} = \frac{2xy}{x^2 - y^2}
Ans: 2xyx2−y2\frac{2xy}{x^2 - y^2}
