Question 8:

Solve: $0.5 x + \frac{x}{3} = 0.25 x + 7 .$

Answer:

$\begin{array}{l} We have: \\ 0.5 x + \frac{x}{3} = 0.25 x + 7 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1.5 x + x}{3} = 0.25 x + 7 \\ \Rightarrow 1.5 x + x = 3 (0.25 x + 7) \\ \Rightarrow 2.5 x = 0.75 x + 21 \\ \Rightarrow 2.5 x - 0.75 x = 21 \\ \Rightarrow 1.75 x = 21 \\ \Rightarrow x = \frac{21}{1.75} \\ \Rightarrow x = 12 \end{array}$

Question 10:

Reenu's father is thrice as old as Reenu. After 12 years he will be just twice his daughter. Find their present ages.

Answer:

$\begin{array}{l} Let Reenu's present age be x . \\ Then, her father's present age will be 3 x . \\ Reenu's age after 12 years = (x + 12) \\ Her father's age after 12 years = (3 x + 12) \\ Now, (3 x + 12) = 2 (x + 12) \\ \Rightarrow 3 x + 12 = 2 x + 24 \\ \Rightarrow x = 12 \\ ∴ Reenu's present age = 12 yrs \\ And her father's age = (3 \times 12) = 36 yrs \end{array}$

(a) 3
(b) 4
(c) $\frac{3}{4}$
(d) $\frac{4}{3}$

Answer:

$(d) \frac{4}{3} \begin{array}{l} 2 x + \frac{5}{3} = \frac{1}{4} x + 4 \\ \Rightarrow 2 x - \frac{1}{4} x = 4 - \frac{5}{3} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{8 x - 1 x}{4} = \frac{12 - 5}{3} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{7 x}{4} = \frac{7}{3} \\ \Rightarrow 21 x = 28 \\ \Rightarrow x = \frac{2 8^{4}}{2 1_{3}} = \frac{4}{3} \end{array}$

(b) 16 years
(c) 20 years
(d) 24 years

Answer:

$(b) 12 years Let the ages of A and B be x and y years, respectively . \begin{array}{l} Now, \frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{3} \\ \Rightarrow 3 x = 4 y \\ \Rightarrow x = \frac{4}{3} y \\ After 6 years, we have: \\ \frac{x + 6}{y + 6} = \frac{11}{9} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{4}{3} y + 6}{y + 6} = \frac{11}{9} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{4 y + 18}{3(y + 6)} = \frac{11}{9} \\ \Rightarrow 36 y + 162 = 33 y + 198 \\ \Rightarrow 3 y = 36 \\ \Rightarrow y = 12 \\ ∴ x = \frac{4}{3} \times 1 2^{4} = 16 \\ Hence, A's present age is 16 years. \end{array} \begin{array}{l} \end{array}$
