HINTS & SOLUTION

1. Amount of sales tax paid = 2700 – 2500
= 200
æ 200 ö
Rate of sales tax = ç ´ 100 ÷ % = 8%
è 2500 ø
2. Ratio of 5 m to 10 Km (10,000 m)
= 5:10,000
= 1:2000
3. Percent of students not good in English
= 100 – 76 = 24%
Number of Students not good in English
24
×50 =12
100
Number of students not good in English is 12.
4. We subtract 12x2 + 3x – 2 from 3x2 + 9x + 5
3x2 + 9x + 5
(–) 12x2 + 3x – 2
(–) (–) (+)
– 9x2 + 6x + 7
– 9x2 + 6x + 7 should be added to 12x2 + 3x – 2 to obtain 3x2 + 9x + 5
5. Here, 982 = (100 – 2)2 (using identity)(x – y)2 = x2 – 2xy + y2
= (100)2 – 2(100) (2) + (2)2
= 10000 – 400 + 4
= 9604
6. 7x + 5
(×) 2x – 3
14x2 + 10x (Multiplying by 2x)
– 21x – 15 (Multiplying by – 3)
14x2 – 11x –15 Adding
7. Cost price of an article = 15,500
Amount spent on repair = 450
Total amount spent = 15,950
15 ´ 15950
Profit = 15% of C.P =
100
= 2392.50
S.P of an article = C.P + Profit
= 15,950 + 2392.50
= 18342.50
8. Let the number be = 100
\ Number after 40% increase = 100 + 40
= 140
Decrease in the new number = 40% of 140
140
= 40 ´ = 56
100

3
 Final number = 140 – 56 = 84.
Net decrease = 100 – 84 = 16
Hence net decrease % = 16%
9. Suppose C.P = 100
M.P = 100 + 35% of 100
= 100 + 35
= 135
20
Discount = ´ 135 = 27
100
S.P = 135 – 27 = 108
\ Gain = 108 – 100 = 8
8
Gain% = ´ 100 = 8%.
100
OR
Here C.P = 500 and S.P = 560
Since S.P > C.P so, there is a profit = SP – CP
= 560 – 500 = 60
Pr ofit
Profit percent = ´ 100
C.P
60
= ´ 100 = 12%
500
10. 153 × 153 – 47 × 47
= 1532 – 472 (using identity)(x2 – y2) = (x – y) (x + y)
= (153 – 47) (153 + 47)
= 106 × 200
= 21200
11. 2x3y (– 3xy + xy2) = (2x3y) × (– 3xy) + (2x3y) × (xy2)
= – 6x4y2 + 2x4y3
= – 6(– 2)4 (3)2 + 2 (– 2)4 (3)3
= – 6(16) (9) + 2(16) (27) = – 864 + 864 = 0
12. (a) (12x2 – 13y2)2
Using the identity
(x – y)2 = x2 – 2xy + y2, we have
(12x2 – 13y2) = (12x2)2 – 2(12x2) (13y2) + (13y2)2
= 144x4 – 312x2y2 + 169y4
2 2
(b) (9x + 14y)
Using the identity, (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2, we have
(9x2 + 14y)2 = (9x2)2 + 2(9x2) (14y) + (14y)2
= 81x4 + 252x2y + 196y2

14. Let the cost price of each water bottle be 1
So the cost price of 17 water bottle be 17
C.P of 16 water bottles = 16
S.P of 16 water bottles = 17
! S.P > C.P
There is gain
and gain = S.P – C.P = 17 – 16 = 1

15. 27x3 + 64y3 =(3x)3 + (4y)3
Let 3x = a, and 4y = b
a3 + b3 = (a + b)3 – 3ab (a + b)
(3x)3 + (4y)3 = (3x + 4y)3 – 3 × 3x + 4y (3x + 4y)
= (3x + 4y)3 – 36xy (3x + 4y)
Substituting the given values, we get
= 183 – 36 × 6 ×18 = 5832 – 3888 = 1944
16. (a) 25x2y – 5xy + 30xy2
= 5xy (5 × x – 1 + 6 × y)
= 5xy (5x – 1 + 6y)
(b) x + 3 – 6xy – 18y
= (x + 3) – 6y (x + 3)

 = (x + 3) (1 – 6y)
17. Since the interest is compounded quarterly therefore
R = 12% ÷ 4 = 3% per quarter. Also,
! 3 months make 1 quarter
9
! 9 months = quarters = 3 quarters

Step-I

I1 = = = 42
100 100
A1 = P1 + I1 = 1400 + 42 = 1442 = P2
(Principal for the 2nd conversion period)
Step-II
1442 ´ 3 ´ 1 4326
I2 = = = 43.26
100 100
A2 = P2 + I2 = 1442 + 43.26 = 1485.26 = P3
(Principal for the 3rd conversion period)
Step-III
1485.26 ´ 3 ´ 1 4455.78
I3 = = = 44.5578 = 44.56
100 100
A3 = 1485.26 + 44.56 = 1529.82
Total compound interest = (42 + 43.26 + 44.56) = 129.82
