Pacific Ring of Fire
The Pacific Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions occur. In a large horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly
continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and plate movements.

Vikas is working with TCS, and he is sincer and dedicated to his work. He pay all his taxes on
time and invest the some amount of his salary in funds for his future.
He invested some amount at the rate of 12% simple interest and some other amount at the rate of
10% simple interest. He received yearly interest of ` 130. But, if he interchange the amounts
invested, he would have received ` 4 more as interest.
Now, answer the following questions
SAMPLE PAPER 7
41. Consider the amount invested at 12% be p and at 10% be q. Then, formulate the
required linear equation for first condition.
(a) 10 p + 12 q = 13400 (b) 8 p + 15q = 12000
(c) 12 p + 10q = 13000 (d) 5 p + 6q = 6000
42. Now, formulate the linear equation for the second condition?
(a) 12 p + 10q = 13000 (b) 10 p + 12 q = 13400
(c) 5 p + 6q = 12000 (d) 8 p + 15q = 6000
43. What is value of the variable p?

Multiply Eq. (ii) by 5 and then subtract Eq. (ii) Solutions (46-50)
from Eq. (i) 46. Here, we have to find the HCF of 420 and 130.

Prime factor of 420 = 7 ´ 3 ´ 2 2 ´ 5
\ q = 13 - 6 = 7
Prime factor of 130 = 13 ´ 2 ´ 5
\Area of each bedroom = 5 ´ 6 = 30 m 2
\HCF (420, 130) = 2 ´ 5 = 10
