Answers & Solutions   1 .     Answer : Option C Explanation : 60 + 23 + 53 = 136 2 .     Answer : Option A Explanation :   3 .     Answer : Option A Explanation : 5 + 10 + 15 + 2 = 32 4 .     Answer : Option D Explanation : 15 + 5 + 2 = 22 5 .     Answer : Option B Explanation : 200 – 10 = 190 6 .     Answer : Option A Explanation : Area of the circle = $\pi$$r^2$ $\pi$$r^2$ = 1386 $r^2$ = $1386 \times 7 \over 22$ = 441 r = $\sqrt{441}$ = 21 cm Circumference of the circle = 2$\pi$r = 2 $\times$ $22 \over 7$ x 21 = 132 cm Hence, the cost of fencing = 132 × 5 = `660 7 .     Answer : Option B Explanation : Let the number be x. Now, $x$ x $5\over 6$ - $35 \times 100$ = 1392 $50 x - 21 x \over 60$ = 1392 29 $x$ = 1392 x 60 x = $1392 \times 60 \over 29$ = 2880 Again, according to the question, 55% of 2880 = $55 \times 2880 \over 100$ = 1584 8 .     Answer : Option C Explanation : No.of Bundles = $27\times 14 \over 6$ = 63 9 .     Answer : Option D Explanation : speed of the stream = $1\over 2$ = $1\over 2$(16 - 11) = $1\over 2$ x 5 = 2.5 kmph 10 .     Answer : Option D Explanation : Let the present age of A be 2x years and that of B be 3x years Four years hence, $2x + 4 \over 3x + 4$ = $5\over 7$ 14x + 28 = 15x + 20 x = 8 years Hence, present age of A = 2 x 8 = 16 years
