Answers & Solutions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let,
\nThe number of apples bought by Ravi = x+23
\nThe number of oranges bought by Ravi = 7-x
\nThe number of apples bought by Hari = x
\nThe number of oranges bought by Hari = 40-x
\nThe price of an apple = y+10
\nThe price of an orange = y
\nIt is given that they both paid the same amount. So we get,
\n(y+10)(23+x)+y(7-x) = (y+10)x+y(40-x)
\n=> y = 23
\nTherefore the price of an apple = 23+10 = Rs. 33<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let cost of 1 bat be \u2018b\u2019 Rs , cost of 1 gloves be \u2018g\u2019 Rs,
\ncost of 1 stumps be \u2018s\u2019 Rs , cost of 1 helmet be \u2018h\u2019 Rs
\nFrom question we get following equations,
\n3b+2g+5s+7h = 86 \u2026(1)
\n12b+9g+19s+28h = 339 \u2026(2)
\n18b+10g+33s+42h = 533 \u2026(3)
\nMultiplying eqn (1) by 4 and subtracting it from eqn (2) we get
\ng – s = -5 \u2026(4)
\nMultiplying eqn (1) by 6 and subtracting it from eqn (3) we get
\n-2g + 3s = 17 \u2026(5)
\nSolving equation 4 and 5 we get,
\ng = 2 and s = 7
\nHence, one stump costs 7 Rs<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Answer:\u00a07<\/b><\/p>\n

Let one franc be f rupees, one dinar be d rupees.
\nLet\u2019s calculate all the values in rupees.<\/p>\n

Sam now has 58 rupees.<\/p>\n

This means that Sam, after giving 26 rupees had 58 rupees with him.<\/p>\n

16f + 9d – 26 = 58
\n16f + 9d = 84 \u2026\u2026 i<\/p>\n

Similarly, Ram, after giving 32 rupees had 58 rupees with him.<\/p>\n

14f + 12d – 32 = 58
\n14f + 12d = 90 \u2026\u2026 ii<\/p>\n

Multiplying i by 4 and ii by 3 and subtracting, we get<\/p>\n

22f =66
\nf = 3<\/p>\n

Substituting the value of f in I, we get d = 4<\/p>\n

Thus, the value of one franc and one dinar is 7 rupees.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since each carton should contain boxes of the same brand of chocolates and all boxes being of equal size, to get the minimum number of cartons, we should have the maximum number of boxes in each carton.<\/p>\n

Thus, the number of boxes in each carton = H.C.F (96,240,336)<\/p>\n

= 48<\/p>\n

So, we will get minimum number of cartons if there are 48 boxes in each carton.<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Number of cartons = $\\frac{96}{48} + \\frac{240}{48} + \\frac{336}{48}$<\/p>\n

= $2 + 5 + 7 = 14$<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Answer:\u00a027<\/b><\/p>\n

Let the cost of one pen, one paper and one crayon be x, y, z respectively.
\nGiven,
\n4x + 3y + 2z = 29 \u2026.. i
\nAnd
\n9x + 7y + 5z = 68 \u2026. Ii<\/p>\n

Multiplying I by 2 we get,
\n8x + 6y + 4z = 32<\/p>\n

Subtracting from ii<\/p>\n

x + y + z = 10<\/p>\n

Since, x, y and z are distinct natural numbers, the possible cases are:<\/p>\n

(1, 3, 6); (1, 4, 5); (1, 2, 7); (2, 3, 5)<\/p>\n

Given, the cost of the paper is least. Hence, y can be 1 or 2.<\/p>\n

Checking the values by substituting in i, we get<\/p>\n

x = 4, y = 1 and z = 5.<\/p>\n

Cost of 4 crayons and 7 papers = 4 * 5 + 7 * 1 = 27<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0Answer:\u00a07<\/b><\/p>\n

The given equation is
\n$29x + 21y + 8z = 256$<\/p>\n

Dividing the equation by 8,<\/p>\n

$3x + 2y + \\frac{5(x + y)}{8} + z = 32$<\/p>\n

We know that x, y and z are positive integers.
\nThe above equation will be true only if x + y = 8k, where k is a natural number.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with x + y = 8<\/p>\n

$3x + 2y + z = 27$
\nLet\u2019s check for all x + y = 8,<\/p>\n

x = 1, y = 7, z = 10
\nx = 2, y = 6, z = 9
\nx = 3, y = 5, z = 8
\nx =4, y = 4, z = 7
\nx = 5, y = 3, z = 6
\nx = 6, y = 2, z = 5
\nx = 7, y = 1, z = 4<\/p>\n

Now, let x+y = 16<\/p>\n

3x + 2y + z = 22<\/p>\n

There is no value of x, y such that they satisfy both the equations. (x, y and z are positive integers)<\/p>\n

Hence, there are 7 solutions.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the number of strawberry flavoured candy = x and the number of\u00a0chocolate flavoured candy = y
\nThus, as given in the question:-
\n3.3x + 2.9y = 249
\nUsing options,
\nOption A = 3.3*21 + 2.9*57 = 69.3+165.3 = 234.6 Rs $\\neq$ 249
\nHence, option A cannot be the answer.
\nOption B = 3.3*57 + 2.9*21 = 188.1+60.9 = 249
\nThus, option B can be the answer.
\nOption C = 3.3*37 + 2.9*57 = 241.8 $\\neq$ 249
\nHence, option C cannot be the answer.
\nOption D = 3.3*27 + 2.9*51 = 237 $\\neq$ 249
\nThus, option D cannot be the answer.<\/p>\n

Hence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are given that, The vendors are charged Rs. 20 per packet up to 2000 packets in a box. Additions can be made only in a lot size of 200 packets. Each addition of one lot to the box results in a discount of one rupee an all the packets in the box.
\nLet x be number of additional lots.
\nThus,
\n$(20-x)(2000+200x) = 40000 – 2000x + 4000x -200x^2$
\n=> $-200x^2+2000x+40000$
\nWe need to maximize this
\nThe minimum\/maximum value of a quadratic equation is when $x = -b\/2a$
\nThus, the maximum value = $-2000\/400 = 5$
\nThus, the maximum size of the box that would maximize the revenue per box for Mother Dairy = 2000+200*5 = 3000<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0Answer:\u00a010<\/b><\/p>\n

Let
\n$\\frac{1}{3x – y} = a$ and $\\frac{1}{2x + 3y} = b$<\/p>\n

Therefore,<\/p>\n

$92b – 36a = 2$ and<\/p>\n

$46b + 90a = 7$<\/p>\n

Multiplying ii by 2 and subtracting i from it,<\/p>\n

$216a = 12$
\n$a = \\frac{1}{18}$
\nSubstituting in ii,
\n$b = \\frac{1}{23}$<\/p>\n

Therefore,
\n$3x – y = 18$ and $2x + 3y = 23$<\/p>\n

Multiplying the first equation by 3 and adding both the equations.<\/p>\n

$11x = 77$, $ x = 7$<\/p>\n

Hence, $y = 3$<\/p>\n

$x + y = 10$<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given equation 5x + 7|y| = 405?
\nIf x = 4, then y can be 55 or -55. Now the next solution will be obtained when x increased by 7 and y decreases by 5. Thus the next solution will be
\nx = 11 and y = 50, -55. Thus we can see that for every value of x, there are two corresponding values of y.
\nHence we can just find the possible values of x.
\nThe values of x will be given by 4, 11, 18 . . . . . . 81. If x is greater than 81, then |7y| will have to be less than 0 which is not possible. At x =81, only one value of \u2018y\u2019 will be possible (0). For, all other values of x, y can take two values. Hence, the required number of solutions will be
\n11*2 + 1 = 23.<\/p>\n
