Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given, Selling price = ₹ 13,500
Loss% = 20%
Let the cost price be x.
Loss = 20% of x
Selling price = Cost price - Loss 
13500 = x20100×x
13500 = x15x
13500 = 45x
x = 16875
Therefore, she bought it for ₹ 16875.
So, cost price of the article = ₹ 16875

20% of the cost price
=20100×16875=3375
Net amount = 16875 + 3375 = ₹ 20250
So, in order to sell the washing machine at 20% profit, she needs to sell it at ₹ 20250.


Question 92.


A sum of   56000 gives  280 as interest in 2 years. Find the rate of interest. If the interest rate was 11%, then find the interest in two years.  [4 MARKS]

Answer: Option A. ->
:
Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given,
Principal =   56,000
Time = 2 years
Interest =   280
Let the rate of interest be R % p.a.
S.I=P×R×T100
R=I×100P×T
R=280×10056000×2
R=280560×2
R=14=0.25
The rate of interest is 0.25 % .
We have to find the interest if the rate of interest was 11 %,
Interest = P×R×T100
On substituting the values we get,
Interest = 56000×11×2100 =  ₹ 12320
Hence, the interest in two years if the rate was 11% is   12320.
Question 93.


Find the amount to be paid at the end of 3 years of the sum of ₹ 1,200 at the rate of 12% p.a.
[4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given,
Principal (P) = ₹ 1200
Rate (R) = 12% p.a.
Time (T) = 3 years
S.I.=P×R×T100
S.I.=1200×12×3100
S.I.=432
Total amount to be paid at the end of three years = P + S.I.
Amount = ₹ 1200 + ₹ 432
Amount = ₹ 1632
₹ 1632 has to be paid at the end of three years.


Question 94.


The population of a town 2 years ago was 62500. Since some people migrate to different cities the number of people decreases every year at the rate of 4% per annum. Find its present population.  [4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Formula: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that,
Population 2 years ago = 62500.
Rate of decrease = 4 % p.a.

For population 1 year ago,
P = 62500 , R = 4 %, T = 1 year
S.I=P×R×T100
I=62500×4×1100
I=2500
After 1 year the population will decrease by 2500 people
Population 1 year ago is = 62500 - 2500 = 60,000
For present population, 
P = 60,000, R = 4 %, T = 1 year
S.I=P×R×T100
I=60000×4×1100
I=2400
Present population = 60,000 - 2400 = 57,600
[We are subtracting the population because population is decreasing by 4% p.a.]
The present population is 57,600.


Question 95.


If a shopkeeper incurs 10% loss and 25% profit on items sold for   45 and   40 respectively, then find his net profit/loss.
[4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Application: 1 Mark 
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark


Let the cost price of item sold at loss be  x


x10 % of x=45


x10100×x=45


x110×x=45


10xx10=45


x=50Cost price is   50


Loss =   (50 - 45) =   5


Similarly, let the cost price of an item sold at profit be ₹ y.


y+25 % of y=40


y+25100×y=40


y+14×y=40


4y+y4=40


y=32Cost price is    32


Profit =  (40 - 32) =   8


Net gain =   (8 - 5) =  ₹ 3
 
So, the shopkeeper makes a profit of   3.

Question 97.


In a city out of 15000 voters, 60% voted. Find the number of voters who did not vote. [2 MARKS]

Answer: Option A. ->
:

Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that:
In a city, there are 15000 voters.
60% of the voters voted.
Total percentage of voters = 100%
Voters who voted in % = 60%
Percentage of voters who did not vote
= 100 - 60 = 40%
Total Voters = 15000
40% of 15000 did not vote.
Then, the number of voters who did not vote is:
= 40% of 15000
40100×15000=6000
6000 voters did not vote.

Question 99.


One day Rashi travelled 6 km whereas Soham travelled only 5000 m. What will be the ratio of their distances travelled?
[2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Units: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that:
Rashi travelled 6 km.
Soham travelled 5000 m. 
We have to find the ratio of their distance travelled. 
We can only find the ratio if they have the same units.
First, we will convert both the distances to the same unit.
So, 6 km=6×1000 m=6000 m.
Thus, the required ratio is:
 6000 m : 5000 m
6:5
