Then, the number of boys = π‘₯ + 8
According to the question, π‘₯+8/π‘₯ = 7/5
β‡’ 5(π‘₯ + 8) = 7π‘₯
β‡’ 5π‘₯ + 40 = 7π‘₯
β‡’ 5π‘₯ βˆ’ 7π‘₯ = βˆ’40                   [Transposing 7π‘₯ to L.H.S. and 40 to R.H.S.]
β‡’ βˆ’2π‘₯ = βˆ’40
β‡’ βˆ’2π‘₯/βˆ’2 = βˆ’40/βˆ’2             [Dividing both sides by -2]
β‡’ π‘₯ = 20
Hence the number of girls = 20
and number of boys π‘₯ + 8 = 20 + 8 = 28

β‡’ 400π‘₯/400 = 4,00,000 400                                 [Dividing both sides by 400]
β‡’ π‘₯ = 1,000
Hence, number of denominations of Rs.100 notes = 2 Γ— 1000 = 2000
Number of denominations of Rs.50 notes = 3 Γ— 1000 = 3000
Number of denominations of Rs.10 notes = 5 Γ— 1000 = 5000
Therefore, required denominations of notes of Rs.100, Rs.50 and Rs.10 are 2000, 3000 and 5000 respectively.

β‡’ 5π‘₯ + 6π‘₯ + 160 βˆ’ 4π‘₯ = 300
β‡’ 7π‘₯ + 160 = 300
β‡’ 7π‘₯ + 160 βˆ’ 160 = 300 βˆ’ 160 [Subtracting 160 from both sides]
β‡’ 7π‘₯ = 140
β‡’ 7π‘₯/7 = 140 7                                                   [Dividing both sides by 7]
β‡’ π‘₯ = 20
Hence, the number of coins of Rs.5 denomination = 20
Number of coins of Rs.2 denomination = 3 Γ— 20 = 60
Number of coins of Rs.1 denomination = 160 – 4 Γ— 20 = 160 – 80 = 80

β‡’ 100π‘₯ + 1575 βˆ’ 25π‘₯ = 3000
β‡’ 75π‘₯ + 1575 = 3000
β‡’ 7π‘₯ + 1575 βˆ’ 1575 = 3000 βˆ’ 1575 [Subtracting 1575 from both sides]
β‡’ 7π‘₯ = 1425
β‡’ 7π‘₯/7 = 1425/7                                                 [Dividing both sides by 7]
β‡’ π‘₯ = 19
Hence the number of winner is 19.

β‡’ 5π‘₯ = 20
β‡’ π‘₯ = 20/5 = 4
Hence, the number is 4.

Q.2) A positive number is 5 times another number. If 21 is added to both the numbers, then one of the new numbers becomes twice the other new number. What are the numbers?
Sol.2)
Let another number be π‘₯.
Then positive number = 5π‘₯

Q.3) Sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. When we interchange the digits, it is found that the resulting new number is greater than the original number by 27. What is the two-digit number?
Sol.3)
Let the unit place digit of a two-digit number be π‘₯.
Therefore, the tens place digit = 9ο€­ π‘₯
2-digit number = 10 x tens place digit + unit place digit
∴ Original number = 10(9 βˆ’ π‘₯) + π‘₯
According to the question,
New number = Original number + 27
β‡’ 10π‘₯ + (9 βˆ’ π‘₯) = 10(9 βˆ’ π‘₯) + π‘₯ + 27
β‡’ 10 + 9 βˆ’ π‘₯ = 90 βˆ’ 10π‘₯ + π‘₯ + 27
β‡’ 9π‘₯ + 9 = 117 βˆ’ 9π‘₯
β‡’ 9π‘₯ + 9π‘₯ = 117 βˆ’ 9
β‡’ 18π‘₯ = 108
β‡’ π‘₯ = 108/18 = 6
Hence, the 2-digit number = 10(9 βˆ’ π‘₯) + π‘₯ = 10(9 βˆ’ 6) + 6
= 10 Γ— 3 + 6 = 30 + 6 = 36

Q.4) One of the two digits of a two-digit number is three times the other digit. If you interchange the digits of this two-digit number and add the resulting number to the original number, you get 88. What is the original number?
Sol.4) Let the unit place digit of a two-digit number be π‘₯.
Therefore, the tens place digit = 3π‘₯
2-digit number = 10 x tens place digit + unit place digit
∴ Original number 10 Γ— 3π‘₯ + π‘₯ = 30π‘₯ + π‘₯ = 31π‘₯
According to the question, New number + Original number = 88
β‡’ 10π‘₯ + 3π‘₯ + 31π‘₯ = 88
β‡’ 44π‘₯ = 88

Q.6) There is a narrow rectangular plot, reserved for a school, in Mahuli village. The length and breadth of the plot are in the ratio 11:4. At the rate ` 100 per meter it will cost the village panchayat ` 75,000 to fence the plot. What are the dimensions of the plot?
Sol.6) Let the length and breadth of the rectangular plot be 11π‘₯ and 4π‘₯ respectively.
∴ Perimeter of the plot = π‘‘π‘œπ‘‘π‘Žπ‘™ π‘π‘œπ‘ π‘‘/π‘π‘œπ‘ π‘‘ π‘œπ‘“ 1 π‘šπ‘’π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿ = 75000/100 = 750 π‘š
We know that Perimeter of rectangle = 2(π‘™π‘’π‘›π‘”π‘‘β„Ž + π‘π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘‘π‘‘β„Ž)
Therefore, according to the question, 750 = 2(11π‘₯ + 4π‘₯)
β‡’ 750 = 2 Γ— 15π‘₯
β‡’ 750 = 30π‘₯
β‡’ π‘₯ = 750/30 = 25
Hence, length of rectangular plot = 11 Γ— 25 = 275 π‘š and
breadth of rectangular plot = 4 Γ— 25 = 100 π‘š

Therefore, Grandfather’s age = 10π‘₯ π‘¦π‘’π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘ 
According to question, 10π‘₯ = π‘₯ + 54
β‡’ 10π‘₯ βˆ’ π‘₯ = 54
β‡’ 9π‘₯ = 54
β‡’ π‘₯ = 54/9
= 6 π‘¦π‘’π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘

According to question, 3π‘₯ βˆ’ 10 = 5(π‘₯ βˆ’ 10)
β‡’ 3π‘₯ βˆ’ 10 = 5π‘₯ βˆ’ 50
β‡’ 3π‘₯ βˆ’ 5π‘₯ = βˆ’50 + 10
β‡’ βˆ’2π‘₯ = βˆ’40
β‡’ π‘₯ = βˆ’40/βˆ’2 = 20 π‘¦π‘’π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘ 
Hence, Aman’s son’s age = 20 π‘¦π‘’π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘  and
