So, total number of mangoes is given by the rule = 50 × number of boxes
                                                                       = 50𝑏

Q.5) The teacher distributes 5 pencils per student. Can you tell how many pencils are needed given the number of students? (Use 𝑠 for the number of students.)
Sol.5) Number of students is given by the variable 𝑠.
Number of pencils given to one student = 5
So, total number of pencils is given by the rule = 5 × number of students
                                                                    = 5𝑠

Q.6) A bird flies 1 kilometre in one minute. Can you express the distance covered by the bird in, terms of its flying time in minutes? (Use 𝑡 for flying time in minutes.)
Sol.6) Flying time in minutes is given by the variable 𝑡.

Distance covered by the bird in minutes is given by the rule = distance covered in 1 min × flying time = 1 × 𝑡 = 𝑡 𝑘𝑚.

Q.7) Radha is drawing a dot Rangoli (a beautiful pattern of lines joining dots) with chalk powder. She has 9 dots in a row. How many dots will her Rangoli have for r rows? How many dots are there if there are 8 rows? If there are 10 rows?
Sol.7) Number of dots in a row = 9
Number of rows is a variable 𝑟.
Total number of dots in r rows = number of dots in one row × number of rows
                                            = 9𝑟
Total number of dots in 8 rows = number of dots in one row × number of rows
                                             = 9 × 8 = 72
Total number of dots in 10 rows = number of dots in one row × number of rows
                                               = 9 × 10 = 90

Q.8) Leela is Radha's younger sister. Leela is 4 years younger than Radha. Can you write Leela's age in terms of Radha's age? Take Radha's age to be 𝑥 years.

Leela’s age = 𝑥 – 4 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠

Q.9) Mother has made laddus. She gives some laddus to guests and family members; still 5 laddus remain. If the number of laddus mother gave away is l, how many laddus did she make?
Sol.9) Number of laddus mother gave away = 𝑙.
Number of laddus remaining = 5
Total number of laddus she made = 𝑙 + 5

Q.10) Oranges are to be transferred from larger boxes into smaller boxes. When a large box is emptied, the oranges from it fill two smaller boxes and still 10 oranges remain outside. If the number of oranges in a small box are taken to be 𝑥, what is the number of oranges in the larger box?
Sol.10) Number of oranges in the small box = 𝑥
When a large box is emptied, the oranges from it fill two smaller boxes and still 10 oranges remain outside.
That is, Number of oranges in the larger box = Number of oranges in two small boxes +
10 oranges = 𝑥 + 𝑥 + 10
= 2𝑥 + 10

Q.11) (a) Look at the following matchstick pattern of squares (Fig 11.6). The squares are not separate. Two neighbouring squares have a common matchstick. Observe the patterns and find the rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of squares.

So the pattern for n number of triangles is 1 more than twice the number of triangles, 𝑛, OR 2𝑛 + 1

Exercise: 11.2

Q.1) The side of an equilateral triangle is shown by 𝑙. express the perimeter of the equilateral triangle using 𝑙.
Sol.1) An equilateral triangle has three equal sides, 𝑙 and its perimeter is the sum of the three sides,
Length of side of equilateral triangle = 𝑙
Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 𝑙 + 𝑙 + 𝑙 = 3𝑙 .

Q.2) The side of a regular hexagon (fig: 11.10) is denoted by 𝑙. Express the perimeter of the hexagon using 𝑙.

""NCERT-Solution-Class-6-Maths-Algebra-4
Sol.2) Given, the each side of a regular hexagon = 𝑙
Perimeter of the regular hexagon = sum of all sides
= 𝑙 + 𝑙 + 𝑙 + 𝑙 + 𝑙 + 𝑙 = 6𝑙

Q.3) A cube is a three-dimensional figure as shown in fig: 11.11. It has six faces and all of them are identical squares. The length of an edge of the cube is given by l. Find the formula for the total length of the edges of a cube.
Sol.3) Length of one edge of a cube = 𝑙
Total number of edges in a cube = 12
Total length of the edges of a cube = No. of edges × length of one edge
= 12 × 𝑙 = 12𝑙
So, Total length of the edges of a cube is 12 𝑙 .

Q.4) The diameter of a circle is a line which joins two points on the circle and also passes through the centre of the circle. (In the adjoining fig: 11.12) 𝐴𝐵 is a diameter of the circle; 𝐶 is its centre. Express the diameter of the circle (𝑑) in terms of its radius (𝑟).
Sol.4) 𝐶 is the centre of the circle.
𝐴𝐶 and 𝐶𝐵 are the radius(𝑟) of the circle.
Diameter of a circle is double of radius.
So, Diameter 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐶 + 𝐶𝐵 = 𝑟 + 𝑟 = 2𝑟

Q.5) To find sum of three numbers 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways:
(a) We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or
(b) We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54.
Thus, (14 + 27) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13)
This can be done for any three numbers. This property is known as the associativity of addition of numbers. Express this property which we have already studied in the chapter on Whole Numbers, in a general way, by using variables 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐.
Sol.5) For any three whole numbers a, b, and c
(𝑎 + 𝑏) + 𝑐 = 𝑎 + (𝑏 + 𝑐)

So, we see that 𝑚 = 12 satisfy the equation and is the solution.

b) 𝑛 + 12 = 20
For 𝑛 = 12, 𝑛 + 12 = 12 + 12 = 24
For 𝑛 = 8, 𝑛 + 12 = 8 + 12 = 20
For 𝑛 = 20, 𝑛 + 12 = 20 + 12 = 32
For 𝑛 = 0, 𝑛 + 12 = 0 + 12 = 12
So, we see that 𝑛 = 8 satisfy the equation and is the solution.

c) 𝑝 – 5 = 5
Let's try the equation of each given value of 𝑝
For 𝑝 = 0, 𝑝 – 5 = 0 – 5 = −5
For 𝑝 = 10, 𝑝 – 5 = 10 – 5 = 5
For 𝑝 = 5, 𝑝 – 5 = 5 – 5 = 0
For 𝑝 = −5, 𝑝 – 5 = −5 – 5 = −10
So, we see that 𝑝 = 10 satisfy the equation and is the solution.

d) 𝑞/2 = 7
For 𝑞 = 7, 𝑞/2 = 7/2
For 𝑞 = 2, 𝑞/2 = 2/2 = 1
For 𝑞 = 10, 𝑞/2 = 10/2 = 5
For 𝑞 = 14, 𝑞/2 = 14/2 = 7
So, we see that 𝑞 = 14 satisfy the equation and is the solution.

e) 𝑟 – 4 = 0
For 𝑟 = 4, 𝑟 – 4 = 4 – 4 = 0
For 𝑟 = −4, 𝑟 – 4 = −4 – 4 = −8
For 𝑟 = 8, 𝑟 – 4 = 8 – 4 = 4
For 𝑟 = 0, 𝑟 – 4 = 0 – 4 = −4
So, we see that 𝑟 = 4 satisfy the equation and is the solution.

f) 𝑥 + 4 = 2
For 𝑥 = −2, 𝑥 + 4 = −2 + 4 = 2
For 𝑥 = 0, 𝑥 + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4
For 𝑥 = 2, 𝑥 + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6
For 𝑥 = 4, 𝑥 + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8
So, we see that 𝑥 = −2 satisfy the equation and is the solution.

From the table, solution for equation 𝑚 − 7 = 3 is 𝑚 = 10

Q.5) Solve the following riddles, you may yourself construct such riddles.
Who am I?
(i) Go round a square
Counting every corner
Thrice and no more!
Add the count to me
To get exactly thirty-four!
(ii) For each day of the week
Make an up count from me
If you make no mistake
You will get twenty-three!
(iii) I am a special number
Take away from me a six!
A whole cricket team
You will still be able to fix!
(iv) Tell me who I am
I shall give a pretty clue!
You will get me back
If you take me out of twenty two!
Sol.5) i)
A square has 4 sides.
“Counting every corner Thrice and no more!”
Implies we go around the square thrice, i.e. 12 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠.
“Add the count to me to get exactly thirty-four!”
That is, when 12 is added to a number
Let us assume the number as 𝑦, we get 34.
12 + y = 34
y = 34 – 12 = 22
So, 22 is the number.

ii) If 23 is the number for Sunday,
Then counting up,
Saturday is 22, Friday is 21, Thursday is 20, Wednesday is 19, Tuesday is 18, Monday is
17 and Sunday is 16.
Therefore, the number considered is 16.

iii) Let the number be 𝑥.
If we take away 6 from 𝑥, we get a cricket team. [A cricket team has 11 players].
𝑥 – 6 = 11
𝑥 = 11 + 6 = 17
The special number is 17.

iv) Let the number be 𝑥.
22 – 𝑥 = 𝑥
22 = 𝑥 + 𝑥 = 2𝑥
𝑥 = 22/2 = 11
The number is 11.
