Answer:

(i) HCF of 24 and 40 is 8.
∴ 24 : 40 = 2440= 24 ÷ 840 ÷ 8= 35 = 3 : 5

Hence, 24 : 40 in its simplest form is 3 : 5.

(ii) HCF of 13.5 and 15 is 1.5.

 13.515=135150The HCF of 135 and 150 is 15.=135 ÷ 15150 ÷ 15=910

Hence, 13.5 : 15 in its simplest form is 9 : 10.

(iii)  203 : 152=40 : 45
The HCF of 40 and 45 is 5.

∴ 40 : 45 = 4045=40 ÷ 545 ÷ 5=89  = 8 : 9

Hence, 623 : 712 in its simplest form is 8 : 9

(iv) 9 : 6
The HCF of 9 and 6 is 3.

9 : 6 = 96=9 ÷ 36 ÷ 3 = 3 : 2
Hence, 16:19 in its simplest form is 3 : 2.

(v) LCM of the denominators is 2.

4 : 5 : 92 = 8 : 10 : 9
The HCF of these 3 numbers is 1.


∴ 8 : 10 : 9 is the simplest form
.

(vi) 2.5 : 6.5 : 8 = 25 : 65 : 80

The HCF of 25, 65 and 80 is 5.
25 : 65 : 80 = 256580= 25 ÷ 565 ÷ 580 ÷ 5=51316 = 5 : 13 : 16

Answer:

(i) Converting both the quantities into the same unit, we have:
   75 paise : (3 × 100) paise = 75 : 300

= 75300= 75 ÷ 75300 ÷ 75=14    (∵ HCF of 75 and 300 = 75)
= 1 paise : 4 paise

(ii)  Converting both the quantities into the same unit, we have:
105 cm : 63 cm = 10563=105÷2163÷21= 53   (∵ HCF of 105 and 63 = 21)
= 5 cm : 3 cm

(iii) Converting both the quantities into the same unit
65 min : 45 min = 6545= 65÷545÷5=139  (∵ HCF of 65 and 45 = 5)
= 13 min : 9 min

(iv) Converting both the quantities into the same unit, we get:
8 months : 12 months = 812=8÷412÷4=23  (∵ HCF of 8 and 12 = 4)
= 2 months : 3 months

(v) Converting both the quantities into the same unit, we get:

2250g : 3000 g = 22503000=2250÷7503000÷750= 34    (∵ HCF of 2250 and 3000 = 750)

= 3 g : 4 g

(vi)  Converting both the quantities into the same unit, we get:
1000 m : 750 m =  1000750=1000÷250750÷250 = 43    (∵ HCF of 1000 and 750 = 250)
= 4 m : 3 m

Answer:

Sum of the ratio terms  = 7 + 8 = 15

Now, we have the following:

Kunal's share = Rs 360 ×715= 24×7 = Rs 168

Mohit's share = Rs 360 ×815 = 24×8 = Rs 192

Answer:

Sum of the ratio terms = 15+16=1130

Now, we have the following:
Rajan's share = Rs 880 ×151130 = Rs 880 ×611 = Rs 80×6  =  Rs 480
Kamal's share = Rs 880 ×161130= Rs 880 ×511= Rs 80 ×5 = Rs 400

Page No 125:

Answer:

Sum of the ratio terms is (1 + 3 + 4) = 8

We have the following:

A's share =  Rs 5600 ×18 =Rs 56008 = Rs 700

B's share =  Rs 5600 ×38= Rs 700 × 3 = Rs 2100

C's share = Rs 5600 ×48 =Rs 700 ×4 = Rs 2800

Answer:

Let x be the required number.
Then, (9 + x) : (16 + x) = 2 : 3

9+x16+x = 2327 + 3x = 32 + 2x x =5

Hence, 5 must be added to each term of the ratio 9 : 16 to make it 2 : 3.

Answer:

Suppose that x is the number that must be subtracted.
Then, (17 − x) : (33 − x) = 7 : 15

17 - x33 - x=715255 - 15x = 231 - 7x  8x = 255 - 231 = 24 x = 3

Hence, 3 must be subtracted from each term of ratio 17 : 33 so that it becomes 7 : 15.

Answer:

Suppose that the numbers are 7x and 11x.

Then, (7x + 7) : (11x + 7) = 2 : 3
7x + 711x + 7=23

⇒ 21x + 21 = 22x + 14

⇒ x = 7

Hence, the numbers are (7 × 7 =) 49 and (11 × 7 =) 77.

Answer:

Suppose that the numbers are 5x and 9x.
Then, (5x − 3) : (9x − 3) = 1 : 2

5x - 39x -3=12

⇒ 10x − 6 = 9x − 3
x = 3

Hence, the numbers are (5 × 3 =) 15 and (9 × 3 =) 27.

Page No 125:

Answer:

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x.
Their LCM is 12x.
Then, 12x = 180
x = 15

∴ The numbers are (3 × 15 =) 45 and (4 × 15 =) 60.

Answer:

Suppose that the present ages of A and B are 8x yrs and 3x yrs.
Then, (8x  + 6) : (3x + 6) = 9 : 4
8x+63x+6= 94
⇒ 32x + 24 = 27x + 54
⇒ 5x = 30
x = 6

Now, present age of A = 8 × 6 yrs = 48 yrs
Present age of  B = 3 × 6 yrs = 18 yrs

Answer:

Suppose that the monthly income of the family is Rs x.

Then, x : 2500 = 11 : 2

x = 11×25002=11×1250
x = Rs 13750

Hence, the income is Rs 13,750.
∴ Expenditure = (monthly income − savings)
                         =Rs (13750 − 2500)
                          = Rs 11250

Answer:

Let the numbers one rupee, fifty paise and twenty-five paise coins be 5x, 8x and 4x, respectively.

Total value of these coins = (5x ×100100+ 8x×50100 + 4x ×25100)

 5x + 8x2 + 4x4= 20x + 16x + 4x4=40x4=10x

However, the total value is Rs 750.
∴ 750 = 10x
x = 75

Hence, number of one rupee coins = 5 × 75 = 375
Number of fifty paise coins = 8 × 75 = 600
Number of twenty-five paise coins = 4 × 75 = 300

Answer:

Suppose that the numbers are 5x and 7x.
The sum of the numbers is 720.
i.e., 5x + 7x = 720
⇒ 12x = 720
x = 60

Hence, the numbers are (5 × 60 =) 300 and (7 × 60 =) 420.

Answer:

(a)  18 years

Suppose that the present ages of A and B are 3x yrs and 8x yrs, respectively.
After six years, the age of A will be (3x+6) yrs and that of B will be (8x+6) yrs.
Then, (3x +6) : (8x + 6) = 4 : 9

3x + 68x+6= 4927x + 54 = 32x + 245x = 30x = 6Hence, the present ages of A and B are 18 yrs and 48 yrs, respectively.

Answer:

The given fractions are 45 and 79.
LCM of 5 and 9 = 5 × 9 = 45

Now, we have:4×95×9=3645 and  7×59×5= 3545Clearly, 3545<3645Hence, (7 : 9 ) <(4 : 5)

Answer:

The sum of ratio terms is 10.

Then, we have:

A's share = Rs 210×1100 = Rs 220

B's share =Rs 310× 1100 =Rs 330 

C's share =Rs 510× 1100 = Rs 550

Answer:

Product of the extremes = 25 × 6 = 150
Product of the means = 36 × 5 = 180

The product of the extremes is not equal to that of the means.

Hence, 25, 36, 5 and 6 are not in proportion.

Answer:

x : 18 :: 18 : 108

 x × 108 = 18×18            (Product of extremes =Product of means)108x = 324x =3Hence, the value of x is 3.

Answer:

Suppose that the numbers are 5x and 7x.
Then, 5x + 7x = 84
⇒ 12x = 84
x = 7

Hence, the numbers are (5 × 7 =) 35 and (7 × 7 =) 49.

Answer:

Suppose that the present ages of A and B are 4x yrs and 3x yrs, respectively.
Eight years ago, age of A = (4x − 8) yrs
Eight years ago, age of B = (3x − 8) yrs
Then, (4x − 8) : (3x − 8) = 10 : 7

4x-83x - 8=10728x - 56 = 30x - 802x = 24x= 12Hence, present age of A = 4×12 yrs = 48 yrs and present age of B = 3×12 yrs = 36 yrs

Answer:

Suppose that the third proportional to 8 and 12 is x.
Then, 8 : 12 :: 12 : x

⇒ 8x = 144  (Product of extremes = Product of means)
x = 18

Hence, the third proportional is 18 .

1 man can finish the work in 60 × 40 days.     [Less men, more days]
75 men can finish the work in 60×4075 = 32 days 

Hence, 75 men will finish the same work in 32 days.

Answer:

(c) 40 years

Suppose that the present ages of A and B are 5x yrs and 2x yrs, respectively.
After 5 years, the ages of A and B will be (5x+5) yrs and (2x+5) yrs, respectively.

Then, (5x + 5) : (2x + 5) = 15 : 7

5x+52x +5=157

Cross multiplying, we get:

35x + 35 = 30x + 75
⇒ 5x = 40
x = 8

Hence, the present age of A is 5 × 8 = 40 yrs.
