Answer key and explanations
- (b) Rs 420. Amount after 2 years = 2000 × 1.1 × 1.1 = Rs 2,420. Interest = Rs 420.
- (c) 60. 3x + 5x = 96, so 8x = 96 and x = 12. The larger number is 5 × 12 = 60.
- (b) 3 hours. Time = distance ÷ speed = 15 ÷ 5 = 3 hours.
- (b) 25%. Profit = 500 − 400 = 100. Profit % = 100 ÷ 400 × 100 = 25%.
- (b) 42. The differences are 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, so the next term is 30 + 12 = 42.
- (b) 6 days. Combined rate = 1/10 + 1/15 = 5/30 = 1/6. Time = 6 days.
- (b) 17. Sum of the four numbers = 4 × 15 = 60. New sum = 85. New average = 85 ÷ 5 = 17.
- (c) Cannot be determined. The second statement says some flowers are red, which does not tell us whether any rose is among those red flowers.
- (a) 20. Let the numbers be x and y. x + y = 50 and x − y = 10, so x = 30 and y = 20. The smaller number is 20.
- (b) Repo rate. The repo rate is the rate at which RBI lends to banks against government securities.
