    9. The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 5. On adding 27 to the number, its digits are reversed. Find
    the original number.
    Ans. Let the two-digit number be xy
    Given
    PHYSICS
    x + y =5 ………. (i)

    xy + 27 = yx
    10x + y + 27 = 10y + x
    9x + 27 = 9y
    Or x + 3 = y …………(ii)
    Solving (i) and (ii) together.
    x + 3 = (5 − x)
    2x = 2
    x =1
    y =4
    Hence the number = 14
    10. The lengths of a rectangle plot of land exceeds its breadth by 23 m if the length is decreased by 15 m. and
    the breadth is increased by 7 m. the area is reduced by 360 𝑚2 .
    Ans. Find the length and the breadth of the plot.
    Let the length = l and breadth = b
    l = 23 + b
    Given
    (l − 15)(b + 7) = lb − 360
    (23 + b − 15)(b + 7) = (23 + b)b − 360

    (b + 8)(b + 7) = 23b + b2 − 360

    b2 + 15b + 56 = 23b + b2 − 360


    416 = 8b
    Or b = 52m
    Therefore
    l = b + 23 = 52 + 23 = 75m
    11. A man is twice as old as his son. Twelve years ago, the man was thrice as old as his son. Find their present

    12 years ago
    Son’s age = x − 12
    Man’s age = 2x − 12
    2x − 12 = 3(x − 12)
    PHYSICS
    2x − 12 = 3x − 36
    X = 24 = Son’s age
    Man’s age = 48 years
    12. 5 years ago, the age of Parvati was 4 times the age of her son. The sum of their present ages is 55 years.
    Find Parvati’s age.
    Ans. Let the present age of Parvati = x yrs.
    age of son = y yrs.
    x + y = 55 …….. (i)
    Five years before
    Parvati = x − 5yrs.
    son = y – 5 yrs.
    Given,
    (x − 5) = 4(y − 5)
    x − 4y = −15 ……….(ii)
    solving (i) and (ii)
    x − 4(55 − x) = −15
    5x = 205
    or x = 44 = Parvati’s age
    Son’s age = 55 – 44 = 11 years
    13. The distance between two stations is 300 km. two motor-cyclist start simultaneously from these stations
    and move towards each other. The speed of one of them is 7 km/hr faster than that of other. If the distance
    between them after 2 hours is 34 km, find the speed of each motor-cycle
    Ans. Distance = 300 km
    Let the speed of 1𝑠𝑡 cyclist = x
    Then speed of 2𝑛𝑑 cyclist = x + 7
    Distance covered by 1𝑠𝑡 cyclist in 2hr =2x
    Distance covered by 2𝑛𝑑 cyclist in 2 hr = 2( x+7)
    Therefore
    2x + 34 + 2(x + 7) = 300
    4x + 48 = 300

    14. A certain number man can finish a piece of work in 50 days. If there are 7 more men, the work can be
    completed 10 days earlier. How many men were originally there?
    Ans. Let x men finish work in 50 days
    Total work = 50x man days
    x + 7 men finish work in 49 days
    Total work = (x + 7) × 40
    Therefore
    50x = 40(x + 7)
    5x = 4x + 28
    x = 28
    Original no of men = 28
    15. A workman is paid Rs. 150 for each day he works and is fined Rs. 50 for each day he is absent. In a month of
    30 days he earned Rs. 2100. For how many days did he remain absent?
    Ans. Salary = 150 Rs. /day
    Fine = 50 Rs. /day
    Let x be the number of days worked
    Therefore
    150x – (30 – x)50 = 2100
    Or x = 18 days.
