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 = x−20100×x
⇒13500 = x−15x
⇒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.

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.

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.

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.

Answer: 1 Mark
Let the cost price of item sold at loss be ₹ x
⇒x−10 % of x=45
⇒x−10100×x=45
⇒x−110×x=45
⇒10x−x10=45
⇒x=50⇒Cost 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=32⇒Cost price is ₹ 32
⇒Profit = ₹(40 - 32) = ₹ 8
Net gain = ₹ (8 - 5) = ₹ 3
So, the shopkeeper makes a profit of ₹ 3.

For 6 students we need 3 balls.
⇒ For 1 student, we need 36=12 balls.
Therefore, 36 students would need:
36×12= 18 balls.

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.

Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that:
Rashi can travel for 4 hours after having a pizza.
Rashid can travel for 6 hours after having a pizza.
Number of hours Rashid travels more after having a pizza = 6 - 4 = 2 hours
In terms of percentage, it is given by,
Extra hoursNumber of hours Rashi can travel after having a pizza×100
On substituting the values we get,
24×100=50

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
