A farmer bought a buffalo for â¹44000 and a cow for â¹18000. He sold the buffalo at a loss of 5% but made a profit of 10% on the cow. The net result of the transaction is
(a) loss of â¹200
(b) profit of â¹400
(c) loss of â¹400
(d) profit of â¹200
Answer:
Cost Price of buffalo = â¹44000
loss % on buffalo = 5%
loss on buffalo = 5% of 44000
∴ Selling Price of buffalo
Cost Price of cow = â¹18000
Profit % on cow = 10%
∴ Selling Price of cow
Total cost price = â¹44000 + 18000
= â¹62000
Total selling price = â¹41,800 + â¹19800
= â¹61600
Total selling price < Total cost price
∴ Net loss = Total CP − Total SP
= â¹62,000 − â¹61600

Question 56:
Fill in the blanks to make the statements true.
The _________ of interest on a sum of â¹ 2000 at the rate of 6% per annum for years and 2 years is â¹ 420.
Answer:
Principal (P) = â¹2000
Rate (R) = 6%
Case I: Time (T1) =
Case II: Time (T2) = 2 years
Now, I1 + I2 = 180 + 240 = â¹420
Thus, the sum of interest on a sum of â¹2000 at the rate of 6% per annum for year and 2 years is â¹420.

(c) Shade 17% of the grid. What is 17% of 300? Compare the two answers.
(d) What is the value of of the grid?
Answer:
(a)
Now, each small square is worth 3.
∴ 25 small square worth is 25 × 3 = 75
Both the values are same.
(b) From part (a), value of 25 small squares is 75.
Now, each small square is worth 3

Answer:
CP of 1 table = â¹450
∴ CP of 24 tables = â¹ (24 × 450) = â¹10800
SP of 16 tables = â¹ {(16 × 600) = â¹9600
SP of remaining tables i.e., 8 tables

Question 125:
A memorial trust donates â¹ 5,00,000 to a school, the interest on which is to be used for awarding 3 scholarships to students obtaining first three positions in the school examination every year. If the donation earns an interest of 12 per cent per annum and the values of the second and third scholarships are â¹ 20,000 and â¹ 15,000 respectively, find out the value of the first scholarship.
Answer:
Total donation amount = â¹500000
Interest on donation amount
Value of the second and third scholarships = â¹(20000 + 15000) = â¹35000
Now, value of the first scholarship = â¹(60000 – 35000) = â¹25000

Question 128:
Harish bought a gas-chullah for â¹ 900 and later sold it to Archana at a profit of 5 per cent. Archana used it for a period of two years and later sold it to Babita at a loss of 20 per cent. For how much did Babita get it?
Answer:
For Harish: CP = â¹900, Profit % = 5
Now, S.P. for Harish would be the C.P. for Archana.
For Archana : C.P. = â¹ 945, Loss % = 20
Again, SP for Archana would be the CP for Babita.
So, Babita got the gas-chullah for â¹756.

Question 131:
Divide â¹ 10000 in two parts so that the simple interest on the first part for 4 years at 12 per cent per annum may be equal to the simple interest on the second part for 4.5 years at 16 per cent per annum.
Answer:
The total amount which has to be divided = â¹10000
Let the first part be = â¹x
Then, second part = â¹(10000 – x)
Interest in first part
Interest in the second part
According to the question,
So, the first part = â¹6000
And second apart = â¹(10000 – 6000) = â¹4000

Question 136:
Designing a Healthy Diet
When you design your healthy diet, you want to make sure that you meet the dietary requirements to help you grow into a healthy adult. As you plan your menu, follow the following guidelines
1. Calculate your ideal weight as per your height from the table given at the end of this question.
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
= = 300 g. (approx).
4. Calories that should come from proteins
= 2204.4 × 0.15 = 330.66 calories.
Therefore, required quantity of protein
g = 82.66 g.
5. Calories that may come from fat = 2204.4 × 0.3
= 661.3 calories.
Therefore, required quantity of fat
= 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
(4) Calories that should come from proteins
(5) Calories that may come from fat

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
Since, n = 10 which is even
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
So, size of the Gobi Desert is 4.19 times the Namib Desert.
(c) Total number of Deserts = 10
Deserts listed in Asia = 5
(d) Total area of Deserts listed in Asia = 1300000 + 850000 + 320000+ 310000 + 260000 = 3040000 km2
Total area of all Deserts = 14350000 km2

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
Thus, the approximate land area of Asia to the nearest square km is 44528685 km2.

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)
∴ Percentage of red colour = 37.5%
(ii) Total fraction for Blue (B)
∴ Percentage of blue colour = 50%
(iii) Total fraction for Green (G)
∴ 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.
