Let the price of each note book be Rs.x.

Let the number of note books which can be brought for Rs.300 each at a price of Rs.x be y.

Hence xy = 300

=> y = 300/x

(x + 5)(y - 10) = 300 => xy + 5y - 10x - 50 = xy

=>5(300/x) - 10x - 50 = 0 => -150+x2+5x

multiplying both sides by -1/10x

=> x2+15x-10x-150=0

=> x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0

=> x = 10 or -15

As x>0, x = 10.

One hour = 60 min

18/60 = 3/10

Let 'K' be the total number of sweets.
Given total number of students = 112
If sweets are distributed among 112 children,
Let number of sweets each student gets = 'L'

=> K/112 = L ....(1)
But on that day students absent = 32 => remaining = 112 - 32 = 80
Then, each student gets '6' sweets extra.

=> K/80 = L + 6 ....(2)
from (1) K = 112L substitute in (2), we get
112L = 80L + 480
32L = 480
L = 15

Therefore, 15 sweets were each student originally supposed to get.

Distance = 70 x 1 ½ = 105 km

Relative Speed = 85 – 70 = 15

Time = 105/15 = 7 hrs

4:30 + 7 hrs = 11.30 p.m.

Once it is decided to place funds in the hands of the committee of local representatives, it is necessary to decide guidelines and norms for the functioning of the committee. Hence I follows. II is not related to the statement.

Let the two no's be a and b;
Given product of the no's is p = ab;
If the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be
(a+2)(b+2) = ab + 2a + 2b + 4
= ab + 2(a+b) + 4
= p + 2(a+b) + 4
Hence the new product is (p+4) times greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.

He has gain = 15 - 12 = 3,
Gain% = (3/12) x 100 = (100/4) = 25.
He has 25% gain.

4 x 27 x 3125 = 22 × 33 × 55 ;

8 x 9 x 25 x 7 = 23 × 32 × 52 × 7

16 x 81 x 5 x 11 x 49 = 24 × 34 × 5 × 11 × 72

H.C.F = 22 × 32 × 5 = 180.
