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

Question 126:
Ambika got 99 per cent marks in Mathematics, 76 per cent marks in Hindi, 61 per cent in English, 84 per cent in Science, and 95% in Social Science. If each subject carries 100 marks, then find the percentage of marks obtained by Ambika in the aggregate of all the subjects.
Answer:
Total maximum marks = 5 × 100 = 500
Total marks obtained by Ambika in all subjects = 99 + 76 + 61 + 84 + 95 = 415

Question 128:
Harish bought a gas-chullah for ₹ 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 = ₹900, Profit % = 5
Now, S.P. for Harish would be the C.P. for Archana.
For Archana : C.P. = ₹ 945, Loss % = 20
Again, SP for Archana would be the CP for Babita.
So, Babita got the gas-chullah for ₹756.

Question 131:
Divide ₹ 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 = ₹10000
Let the first part be = ₹x
Then, second part = ₹(10000 – x)
Interest in first part
Interest in the second part
According to the question,
So, the first part = ₹6000
And second apart = ₹(10000 – 6000) = ₹4000

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 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
Number of students studying Maths
∴ 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
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

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
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.
