Since, the total count of the bacteria after one week = $x×y×y×y×y×y×y=x×{y}^{6}=x{y}^{6}$

Hence, the correct alternative is option (d).

#### Question 4:

Mark the correct alternative in the following question:

(a) ab + a + b                             (b) a + b $-$ ab                             (c) a + ab                            (d) b + ab

As, the sum of a and b = a + b
And, the product of a and b = ab

So, the expression when the product is added to the sum = a + b + ab

Hence, the correct alternative is option (a).

#### Question 5:

Mark the correct alternative in the following question:

As,

${x}^{2}×2{y}^{3}×5{x}^{3}{y}^{2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\left(2×5\right)×\left({x}^{2}×{x}^{3}\right)×\left({y}^{3}×{y}^{2}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=10×{x}^{2+3}×{y}^{3+2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=10{x}^{5}{y}^{5}$

Hence, the correct alternative is option (c).

The sum of a and b is multiplied by taking away 5 from their sum. The expression representing the statement is

(a) (a + b)(a + b $-$ 5)                    (b) (+ b)(5 $-$ $-$ b)                    (c) (+ b)(5 $-$ + b)                    (d) (+ b)(5 + $-$ b)

As, the sum of a and b = (a + b)

So, the required expression representing the given statement = (a + b)(a + b $-$ 5)

Hence, the correct alternative is option (a).

The length of a rectangle is y times its breadth x. The area of the rectangle is

(a) xy                         (b) xy2                         (c) x2y                         (d) None of these

We have,
Breadth of the rectangle = x and
Length of the rectangle = y $×$ x = xy

Now,
The area of the rectangle = Length $×$ Breadth
= xy $×$ x
= x2y

Hence, the correct alternative is option (c).

#### Question 9:

Mark the correct alternative in the following question:

As,

$2{x}^{2}×3x{y}^{2}×4{x}^{3}{y}^{5}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\left(2×3×4\right)×\left({x}^{2}×x×{x}^{3}\right)×\left({y}^{2}×{y}^{5}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=24{x}^{6}{y}^{7}$

Hence, the correct alternative is option (b).

#### Question 10:

Thrice x added to y squared is written as

(a) 3xy2                           (b) x2 + y                           (c) x + y2                          (d) 3x + y2

As, thrice of x = 3x

And, the square of y = y2

So, the sum of the thrice of x and square of y = 3x + y2

Hence, the correct alternative is option (d).

#### Question 11:

$7x{y}^{2}×3{x}^{2}y×5{y}^{4}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\left(7×3×5\right)×\left(x×{x}^{2}\right)×\left({y}^{2}×y×{y}^{4}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=105{x}^{3}{y}^{7}$

#### Question 4:

The number of rooms on the ground floor of a building is 12 less than the twice of the number of rooms on first floor. If the first floor has x rooms, how many rooms does the ground floor has?

Let the number of rooms on the ground floor be y.

It is given that the ​number of rooms on the first floor is x; therefore, we have:

y = 2 $×$ x $-$ ​12
= 2x $-$ 12

Thus, the number of rooms on the ground floor is 2$-$ 12.

Binny spends Rs a daily and saves Rs b per week. What is her income for two weeks?

It is given that Binny spends Rs. in one day.

It is further given that he saves Rs. in one week; therefor we have:

Total income in one week = Total expenditure in one week + Total saving in one week
= 7a + b

$\therefore$ Binny's total income in 2 weeks = 2 $×$ (7a + b) = Rs. (14a + 2b)
