1) Let x be added
⇒ +x=

2)
Let the numerator be x
Denominator = x + 3
ATQ
⇒ 3x + 9 = x + 17
⇒ 2x = 8
⇒x=4
Fraction =
3) Let speed of steamer in still water be x km/hr
(x + 4)20 = (x – 4)25
⇒ 20x + 80 = 25x – 100
⇒ 5x = 180
⇒ x = 36
Distance = (36 + 4) × 20
= 40 × 20
= 800 km
4)
⇒
⇒ 5x – 10 = 4x – 2
⇒x=8
5) In rhombus, diagonals perpendicularly bisect each other.
So, in right angled triangle PQO,
PQ2 = 82 + 62
PQ2 = 64 + 36
PQ2 = 100
PQ = 10 cm
6) ∠DAB = ∠DCB = 75° (In parallelogram, opposite angles are equal)
∠BDC = 180° – (75° + 60°) (angle sum property of triangle)
= 45°
7) Fourth angle = 360° – [80° + 95° + 120°] (angle sum property of quadrilateral)
= 65°
8)
Let the observation be x1, x2, x3 …… x7
ATQ
x1 + x2 …….. x7 = 9 × 7 = 63
Now two observations 3 & 8 are added
New mean =

9) Range = max. data – Min. data
Range = 25.6 – 0.0 = 25.6 mm
10) On Thursday and Saturday, there was no. rainfall.
11)
So, next perfect square = 602 = 3600
⇒ 3600 – 3488 = 112
so, '112' must be added to 3488.
12)
1152 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
All the prime factors except 2 are paired.
Thus, we should divide 1152 by 2.
1152 2 = 576
576 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
Thus, the required least number is 2 and
= 24
13)
= =
= =
14) Largest 4 digit number → 9999
(20)3 = 8000
(21)3 = 9261
(22)3 = 10648
So, 9261 is perfect cube.
15) =
16)
26244 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 9 × 9 × 9 = 6 × 6 × 9 × 9 × 9
So, divide this number by 36 so, the number become a perfect cube.
17) ATQ ⇒ 1760 = VAT + SP
Given,
So,
= ₹1600
18) ∵ Amount = A = P(1 + )T
ATQ
P(1 + )3 = 13310 .....(1)
and P(1 + )5 = 16105.10 .....(2)
From (1) and (2)
⇒ (1 + )2 = 1.21
⇒1+ = 1.1
R = 10%
So from (1)
P(1 + )3 = 13310
P(1.1)3 = 13310
= Rs. 10,000
19)
Let first part = x
then other part = 8000 – x
ATQ, (SI)I = (SI)2
⇒
⇒ 60x = 288000 – 36x
⇒ 96x = 288000 ⇒ x = Rs. 3000
So first part = Rs. 3000 and second part = 8000 – 3000 = Rs. 5000

(x2 – 2x + 3) (x2 + 2x + 3)
24) ATQ, Radius of the large circle = diameter of small circle
⇒ R = 2r ⇒ r =
Area of small circle = πr2 = 13
Now area of shaded region = πR2 – πr2
= 52 – 13 = 39 m2
25) Let the length, breadth and height of a cuboid is 3x, 2x and x respectively.
Its total surface area = 2(3x × 2x + 2x × x + 3x × x) = 88 cm2
⇒ 22x2 = 88
x2 = 4
⇒ x = 2 cm
Hence, x = 2 cm, 2x = 4 cm, 3x = 6 cm
Its lateral surface area
2(3x + 2x) × x
= 10x2
= 10 × (2)2
= 40 cm2
26) By Euler's formula →

31) Let present age of son be x
⇒ Dilip’s present age = 3(x – 2) + 2 = 3x – 4
After two years,
Son's age = x + 2
Dilip’s age = 3x – 2
ATQ,
2(3x – 2) = 5(x + 2)
⇒ 6x – 4 = 5x + 10
⇒ x = 14
Thus, son's present age is 14 years
Dilip's age = 3 × 14 – 4 = 38 years
32) (i) =

So
Also,
33) Since, Diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.

34)
Let the one number be x
⇒ Other number = x + 10
ATQ,
(x) + (x + 10) = 40

50) The sum of the number of dots on the opposite face of the dice shown in the following
image is 7.
It means that the dice given is a standard dice.
The faces opposite to each other in a standard dice is:
Number on the top face of dice: If the dice labelled with vowels have an even number of dots
on their top faces:
(a) 6 (As, 4 and 5 are already present, so either 6 or 1 will be on the top face, out of which 6 is
an even number, so the top face has 6 dots)
(i) 6 (As, 2 and 4 are already present, so either 6 or 1 will be on the top face, out of which 6 is
an even number, so the top face has 6 dots)
(o) 6 (As, 4 and 5 are already present, so either 6 or 1 will be on the top face, out of which 6 is
an even number, so the top face has 6 dots)
Dice labelled with consonants have an even number of dots on their bottom faces: So, dice
labelled with consonants have an odd number on their top faces.
(b) 3 (As, 1 and 5 are already present, so either 3 or 4 will be on the top face, out of which 3 is
an odd number, so the top face has 3 dots
(c) 5 (As, 4 and 6 are already present, so either 2 or 5 will be on the top face, out of which 5 is
an odd number, so the top face has 5 dots)
(d) 5 (As, 3 and 6 are already present, so either 2 or 5 will be on the top face, out of which 5 is
an odd number, so the top face has 5 dots)
So, the sum of the number of dots on their top surface 6+6+6+3+5+5=31
Hence '31' is the correct answer.
