(i) If the cost of 3 pens is Rs 18, then the cost of 5 pens is ……..
(ii) If Karkuzhali earns Rs 1800 in 15 days, then she earns Rs 3000 in …….. days
Solution:
(i) ₹ 30
Hint: $$5 \times \frac{18}{3}$$ = 5 × 6 = ₹ 30
(ii) 25 Days
Hint:
$$\frac{1800}{3000}=\frac{15}{x}$$
⇒ x = $$\frac{15 \times 3000}{1800}$$ = 25 days

Question 2.
Say True or False.
(i) If the weight of 40 books is 8 kg, then the weight of 15 books is 3 kg.
(ii) A car travels 90 km in 3 hours with constant speed. It will travel 140 km in 5 hours at the same speed.
Solution:
(i) True
Hint: Weight of 1 book = $$\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5} \mathrm{kg}$$
Flence Weight of 15 books = $$\frac{1}{5} \times 15=3 \mathrm{kg}$$
(ii) False
1 hour the car travels = $$\frac{90}{3}$$ = 30 km
In 5 hours the car travels = 30 × 5 = 150 km

Question 3.
If a person reads 20 pages of a book in 2 hours, how many pages will he read in 8 hours at the same speed?
Solution:
In 2 hours, pages read = 20
In 1 hour, pages read = $$\frac{20}{2}$$ = 10
In 8 hours, pages read = 10 × 8
= 80 pages

Question 4.
The cost of 15 chairs is ₹ 7500. Find the number of such chairs that can be purchased for ₹ 12,000?
Solution:
Cost of 15 chairs = Rs 7500
Cost of 1 chair = Rs $$\frac{7500}{15}$$ = Rs 500
Number of chairs that can be purchased for Rs 12000 = $$\frac{12000}{500}$$ = 24 chairs

Question 5.
A car covers a distance of 125 km in 5 kg of LP Gas. How much distance will it cover in 3 kg of LP Gas?
Solution:
In 5 kg of LPG gas, distance covered = 125 km
In 1 kg of LPG gas, distance covered = $$\frac{125}{5}$$ = 25 km
In 3 kg of LPG gas, distance covered = 3 × 25 km = 75 km

Question 6.
Cholan walks 6 km in 1 hour at a constant speed. Find the distance covered by him in 20 minutes at the same speed.
Solution:
In 1 hour (60 minutes), distance covered = 6 km
In 1 minute, distance covered = $$\frac{6 km}{60 min}$$ = $$\frac{6000 m}{60}$$ = 100 m
In 20 minutes, distance covered = 20 × 100 m = 2000 m = 2 km

Question 7.
The number of correct answers given by Kaarmugilan and Kavitha in a quiz competition are in the ratio 10 : 11. If they had scored a total of 84 points in the competition, then how many points did Kavitha get?
Solution:
Total points scored = 84 Ratio = 10 : 11
Sum of the ratio = 10 + 11 = 21
21 parts = 84 points
1 part = $$\frac{84}{21}$$ = 4 points
Kavitha = 11 parts
Kaarmugilan = 10 parts
Foints scored by Kavitha = 11 parts = 11 × 4 points = 44 points

Question 8.
Karmegam made 54 runs in 9 overs and Asif made 77 runs in 11 overs. Whose run rate is better? (run rate = ratio of runs to overs)
Solution:
Karmegam Runs made in 9 overs = 54
Runs made in 1 over = $$\frac{54}{9}$$ = 6 runs
Asif Runs made in 11 overs = 77
Runs made in 1 over = $$\frac{77}{11}$$ = 7 runs
∴ Asif’s run rate is better than Karmegam.

Question 9.
You purchase 6 apples for Rs 90 and your friend purchases 5 apples for Rs 70. Whose purchase is better?
Solution:
Myself
Cost of 6 apples = Rs 90
Cost of 1 apple = $$\frac{Rs 90}{6}$$ = Rs 15
Friend’s purchase
Cost of 5 apples = Rs 70
Cost of 1 apple = $$\frac{70}{5}$$ = Rs 14
