Ques 2.
A trader sold an article at 12% loss. Had he sold the same article for Rs. 76.50 more, he would have earned a profit of 5%. What would be the selling price of the article if it is sold at 16% profit ?
Solution :
cp = 100x sp = 88x loss=12%
cp=100x sp= 88x+76.50 profit =5%
from case-2
cp =100x =450
450------100%
? ------116%
==>X = 522
Ques 3.
If the lengths of the three sides of a triangle are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm, then the length of the median to its greatest side is

Ques 5.
a sum of rs.4300 has been distributed among 45 people consisting of Man,Women,and Children.the amount given to man,women and children are in the ratio 12:15:16, but the amount received by each man,woman and Children are in the ratio 6:5:4,what each man,women and child received?

X----------100
men=1200
women=1500
children=1600
1200/6x : 1500/5x :1600/4x = 2:3:4
==>10:15:20
Each man=1200/10=120
woman=1500/15=100
children=1600/20=80
Ques 6.
The ratio between the number of passengers travelling by 1st and 2nd class between the two railway stations is 1 : 50, whereas the ratio of 1st and 2nd class fares between the same stations is 3 : 1. If an a particular day, Rs. 1325 were collected from the passengers travelling between these stations, then what was the amount collected from the 2nd class passengers?

2nd Class passengers = 50X= 50*25=1250
Ques 7.
a/3=b/4=c/7 then find (a+b+c)/c.
Solution :
a:b:c = 3:4:7
(a+b+c)/c = (3+4+7)/7 = 14/7=2
Ques 8.
The square of a number X is 80 more than the square of another number Y. If the value of X is1.5 times the value of Y, what is the difference between the value of X and that of Y ?
2.25y^2 - y^2 = 80
1.25y^2 = 80
X = 1.5*8 = 12
X - Y = 12 - 8 = 4
Ques 9.
If the average of 4 consecutive even numbers is 57. what is the largest number ?
Solution :
4X + 12 = 228
largest number = 54+6= 60
