Let number of notes of each denomination be x.
Then x + 5x + 10x = 480
16x = 480
Therefore x = 30.
Hence, total number of notes = 3x = 90.
Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively.
Then, x - 10 = y + 10 \(\Rightarrow\) x - y = 20 .... (i)
and x + 20 = 2(y - 20) \(\Rightarrow\) x - 2y = -60 .... (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80.
therefore The required answer A = 100.
Let the cost of a chair and that of a table be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
Then, 10x = 4y or y =\(\frac{5}{2}x.\)
Therefore 15x + 2y = 4000
15x + \(2\times\frac{5}{2}x = 4000\)
20x = 4000
Therefore x = 200.
So, y = \(\left(\frac{5}{2}\times200\right)=500\)
Hence, the cost of 12 chairs and 3 tables = 12x + 3y
= Rs. (2400 + 1500)
= Rs. 3900.
2ab = (a2 + b2) - (a - b)2
= 29 - 9 = 20
ab = 10.
Let the price of a saree and a shirt be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
Then, 2x + 4y = 1600 .... (i)
and x + 6y = 1600 .... (ii)
Divide equation (i) by 2, we get the below equation.
=> x + 2y = 800. --- (iii)
Now subtract (iii) from (ii)
x + 6y = 1600 (-)
x + 2y = 800
----------------
4y = 800
----------------
Therefore, y = 200.
Now apply value of y in (iii)
=> x + 2 x 200 = 800
=> x + 400 = 800
Therefore x = 400
Solving (i) and (ii) we get x = 400, y = 200.
Therefore Cost of 12 shirts = Rs. (12 x 200) = Rs. 2400.
Let C's share = Rs. x
Then, B's share = Rs. \(\frac{x}{4}\) , A's share = Rs. \(\left(\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{x}{4}\right)= Rs.\frac{x}{6}
\)
Therefore \(\frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{4}+x = 1360
\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{17x}{12}=1360\)
\(\Rightarrow x = \frac{1360\times12}{17} = Rs .960\)
Hence, B's share = Rs. \(\left(\frac{960}{4}\right)= Rs. 240.\)
Let savings in N.S.C and P.P.F. be Rs. x and Rs. (150000 - x) respectively. Then,
\(\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{1}{2}\left(150000-x\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{2}=75000\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{5x}{6}=75000\)
\(\Rightarrow x=\frac{75000\times6}{5}=90000\)
Savings in Public Provident Fund = Rs. (150000 - 90000) = Rs. 60000
Let the total number of shots be x. Then,
Shots fired by A = \(\frac{5}{8}x\)
Shots fired by B = \(\frac{3}{8}x\)
Killing shots by A =\(\frac{1}{3} of \frac{5}{8}x = \frac{5}{24}x\)
Shots missed by B = \(\frac{1}{2} of \frac{3}{8}x = \frac{3}{16}x\)
Therefore \(\frac{3x}{16} = 27 or x =\left(\frac{27\times16}{3}\right)=144. \)
Birds killed by A = \(\frac{5x}{24} = \left(\frac{5}{24}\times144\right) = 30.\)
Original share of 1 person = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
New share of 1 person = \(\frac{1}{7}\)
Increase = \(\left(\frac{1}{7}- \frac{1}{8}\right)= \frac{1}{56}\)
Therefore Required fraction = \(\frac{(\frac{1}{56})}{(\frac{1}{8})} = \left(\frac{1}{56}\times\frac{8}{1}\right) = \frac{1}{7} \)
Let the capacity of 1 bucket = x.
Then, the capacity of tank = 25x.
New capacity of bucket = \(\frac{2}{5}x\)
Required number of buckets = \(\frac{25x}{(\frac{2x}{5})}\)
= \(\left(25x\times\frac{5}{2x}\right)\)
= \(\frac{125}{2}\)
=62.5
