(a) loss of â‚¹200
(b) profit of â‚¹400
(c) loss of â‚¹400
(d) profit of â‚¹200

Answer:

Cost Price of buffalo = ₹44000
loss % on buffalo = 5%
loss on buffalo = 5% of 44000
                        =5100×44000=2,200
∴ Selling Price of buffalo =CP1-Loss%100=44,0001-5100=44,000×95100=41,800
Cost Price of cow = ₹18000
Profit % on cow = 10%
∴ Selling Price of cow =CP1+Profit%100=180001+10100=18000×110100=19,800
Total cost price = ₹44000 + 18000
= ₹62000
Total selling price = ₹41,800 + ₹19800
= ₹61600
Total selling price < Total cost price
∴ Net loss = Total CP − Total SP
= ₹62,000 − ₹61600
= ₹400

Narain bought 120 oranges at â‚¹ 4 each. He sold 60 % of the oranges at â‚¹ 5 each and the remaining at â‚¹ 3.50 each. His ________ is ________%.

Answer:

Lost of 1 orange = ₹4
Lost of 120 oranges = ₹4 × 120
= ₹480
60% of 120 =60100×120=72
Selling price of 72 oranges = ₹5 × 72
= ₹360
Selling price of 48 (120 − 72) orange = ₹3.50 × 48
= ₹168
Total selling price of 120 oranges = ₹360 + ₹168
= ₹528
Profit = SP − CP
= ₹528 − ₹480

A fruit seller purchased 20 kg of apples at â‚¹ 50 per kg. Out of these, 5% of the apples were found to be rotten. If he sells the remaining apples at â‚¹ 60 per kg, then his _________is _________%.

Answer:

Weight of apples bought = 20 kg
Cost price of 1 kg apples = ₹50
Cost price of 20 kg apples = ₹50 × 20
= ₹1000
Percentage of rotten apples = 5%
Quantity of rotten apples = 5% of 20 kg
=5100×20 kg=1 kg
Quantity of good apples = (20 − 1) kg
= 19 kg
Selling price of 1 kg of apples = ₹60
Selling Price of 1 kg  of apples = ₹60 × 19
= ₹1140
Profit = SP − CP
= ₹(1140 − 1000)
= ₹140
Profit% = ProfitCP×100=1401000×100%=14%
Hence, his Profit is 14%

Question 102:

Chalk contains 10% calcium, 3% carbon and 12% oxygen. Find the amount of carbon and calcium (in grams) in 212kg of chalk.

Answer:

Total amount of chalk=212kg=52kg
Amount of calcium = 10% of 52kg
=110×52kg=0.25 kg =0.25×1000 g=250 g

Amount of carbon = 3% of 52kg
=3100×52kg=0.075 kg =0.075×1000 g=75 g
Thus, the amount of carbon and calcium (in grams) in 212kg of chalk are 250g and 75g.

Question 104:

In a furniture shop, 24 tables were bought at the rate of â‚¹ 450 per table. The shopkeeper sold 16 of them at the rate of â‚¹ 600 per table and the remaining at the rate of 400 per table. Find her gain or loss percent.

Answer:

CP of 1 table = ₹450
∴ CP of 24 tables = ₹ (24 × 450) = ₹10800
SP of 16 tables = ₹ {(16 × 600) = ₹9600
SP of remaining tables i.e., 8 tables
= ₹(8 × 400) = 3200
SP of 24 tables = ₹(9600 + 3200) = ₹12800
Here, SP > CP
Therefore, there is a gain of ₹(12800 – 10800) = ₹2000
Gain%=200010800×100=18.5%

2. An active child should eat around 55.11 calories for each kilogram desired weight.
3. 55 per cent of calories should come from carbohydrates. There are 4 calories in each gram of carbohydrates.
4. 15 per cent of your calories should come from proteins. There are 4 calories in each gram of proteins.
5. 30 per cent of your calories may come from fats. There are 9 calories in each gram of fat.
Following is an example to design your own healthy diet.
Example
1. Ideal weight = 40 kg.
2. The number of calories needed = 40 × 55.11 = 2204.4
3. Calories that should come from carbohydrates
                                      = 2204.4 × 0.55 = 1212.42 calories.
Therefore, required quantity of carbohydrates
                                     =  1212.424= 300 g. (approx).
4. Calories that should come from proteins
                                     = 2204.4 × 0.15 = 330.66 calories.
Therefore, required quantity of protein
                                   =330.664 g = 82.66 g.
5. Calories that may come from fat = 2204.4 × 0.3
                                   = 661.3 calories.
Therefore, required quantity of fat
                                  =661.39g = 73.47 g.
Answer the Given Questions
1. Your ideal desired weight is __________ kg.
2. The quantity of calories you need to eat is _______.
3. The quantity of protein needed is ________ g.
4. The quantity of fat required is ___________ g.
5. The quantity of carbohydrates required is __________ g.

Answer:

(1) Ideal weight – 45 kg
(2) Quantity of calories needed = 45 × 55.11 = 2479.95 calories
(3) Calories that should come from carbohydrates=2479.95×55100
=2479.95×0.55=1363.97 calories
Required quantity of carbohydrates=1363.974g=340.99 g

(4) Calories that should come from proteins=2479.95×15100
=2479.95×0.15=1371.99 calories
Required quantity of protien=371.994g=392.99 g

(5) Calories that may come from fat=2479.95×30100
=2479.95×0.3=743.985 calories
Required quantity of carbohydrates=743.9854g=185.99 g

Question 137:

150 students are studying English, Maths or both. 62 per cent of students study English and 68 per cent are studying Maths. How many students are studying both?

Answer:

Total number of students = 150
Number of students studying English =62% of 150
=62100×150=93
Number of students studying Maths=68% of 150
=68100×150=102
∴ Number of students studying both subjects = (93 + 102) – 150 = 45

Question 138:

Earth Science: The table lists the world’s 10 largest deserts.
             Largest Deserts in the World

Desert Area (km2)
Sahara (Africa) 8,800,000
Gobi (Asia) 1,300,000
Australian Desert (Australia) 1,250,000
Arabian Desert (Asia) 850,000
Kalahari Desert (Africa) 580,000
Chihuahuan Desert (North America) 370,000
Takla Makan Desert (Asia) 320,000
Kara Kum (Asia) 310,000
Namib Desert (Africa) 310,000
Thar Desert (Asia) 260,000

(a) What are the mean, median and mode of the areas listed?
(b) How many times the size of the Gobi Desert is the Namib Desert?
(c) What percentage of the deserts listed are in Asia?
(d) What percentage of the total area of the deserts listed is in Asia?
 

Answer:

(a) Total area of 10 Deserts = 8800000 + 1300000 + 1250000 + 850000 + 580000 + 370000 + 320000 + 310000 + 310000 + 260000 = 14350000 km2
Mean=1435000010km2=1435000 km2

Since, n = 10 which is even
Median=5th observation+6th observation2=580000+3700002=9500002=475000 km2

Since, area = 310000 km2 occurs two times.
∴ Mode = 310000 km2

(b) Area of Gobi Desert = 1300000 km2
Area of Namib Desert = 310000 km2
Now, 1300000 = x × 310000
= 130000031000 = 4.19
So, size of the Gobi Desert is 4.19 times the Namib Desert.

(c) Total number of Deserts = 10
Deserts listed in Asia = 5
Required percentage=510×100%=50%

(d) Total area of Deserts listed in Asia = 1300000 + 850000 + 320000+ 310000 + 260000 = 3040000 km2
Total area of all Deserts = 14350000 km2
Percentage of Deserts in Asia=304000014350000×100 = 21.1%

Question 139:

Geography Application: Earth’s total land area is about 148428950 km2. The land area of Asia is about 30 per cent of this total. What is the approximate land area of Asia to the nearest square km?

 

Answer:

Earth’s total land area = 148128950 km2
Land area of Asia = 30% of 148128950 km2
=30100×148428950=44528685 km2
Thus, the approximate land area of Asia to the nearest square km is 44528685 km2.

=30100×148428950=44528685km2

Question 140:

The pieces of Tangrams have been rearranged to make the given shape.

By observing the given shape, answer the following questions:
• What percentage of total has been coloured?
   (i) Red (R) = _________
   (ii) Blue (B) = ________
   (iii) Green (G) = _______
• Check that the sum of all the percentages calculated above should be 100.
• If we rearrange the same pieces to form some other shape, will the percentatge of colours change?

Answer:

(i) Total traction for Red (R)
=18+18+18=38
38=38×100100=3008%=37.5%

∴ Percentage of red colour = 37.5%

(ii) Total fraction for Blue (B)
=14+14=24=12
12=12×100%=1002%=50%

∴ Percentage of blue colour = 50%

(iii) Total fraction for Green (G)
=116+116=216=18
18=18×100%=1008%=12.5%

∴ Percentage of green colour = 12.5%
Now, sum of all percentage
= 37.5% + 50% +12.5% = 100%
If we rearrange the same pieces to form some other shape, then percentage of colours will not change.
