Miscellaneous Practice Problems

Question 1.
A shopkeeper buys three articles for ₹ 325, ₹ 450 and ₹ 510. He is able to sell them for ₹ 350, ₹ 425 and ₹ 525 respectively. Find the gain or loss to the shopkeeper on the whole.
Solution:
C.P of three articles = 325 + 450 + 510 = ₹ 1285
S.P of three articles = 350 + 425 + 525 = ₹ 1,300
Here S.P > C.P
Profit = S.P – C.P = 1,300 – 1285 = ₹ 15
The shopkeeper gained = ₹ 15

Question 2.
A stationery shop owner bought a scientific calculator for Rs 750. He had put a battery worth Rs 100 in it. He had spent Rs 50 for its outer pouch. He was able to sell it for Rs 850. Find his profit or loss.
Solution:
CP = Rs 750 + Rs 100 + Rs 50
= Rs 900
SP = Rs 850
SP < CP
Loss = CP – SP
= Rs 900 – Rs 850
= Rs 50

Question 3.
Nathan paid ₹ 800 and bought 10 bottles of honey from a village vendor. He sold them in a city for ₹ 100 per bottle. Find his profit or loss.
Solution:
C.P of 10 bottles of honey = ₹ 800
C.P of 1 bottle honey = 800/10 = ₹ 80
S.P of a bottle honey = ₹ 100
Here S.P > C.P
Profit per bottle = ₹ 100 – ₹ 80 = ₹ 20
Profit for 10 bottles = 20 × 10 = ₹ 200
Profit = ₹ 200

Question 4.
A man bought 400 metre of cloth for Rs 60,000 and sold it at the rate of Rs 400 per metre. Find his profit or loss.
Solution:
Cost of 400 m of cloth = Rs 60,000
CP = Rs 60,000
Selling price of 400 m of cloth = 400 × Rs 400
SP = Rs 1,60,000
SP > CP
Profit = SP – CP
= Rs 1,60,000 – Rs 60,000
= Rs. 1,00,000

Challenge Problems

Question 5.
A fruit seller bought 2 dozen bananas at ₹ 20 a dozen and sold them at ₹ 3 per banana. Find his gain or loss.
Solution:
Cost of one dozen banana = ₹ 20
Cost of 2 dozen bananas = ₹ 20 × 2 = ₹ 40
C.P = ₹ 40
S.P per banana = ₹ 3
S.P for 2 dozen banana = ₹ 3 × 24 = ₹ 72
Here S.P > C.P
Profit = S.P – C.P = 72 – 40 = 32
Profit = ₹ 32

Question 6.
A store purchased pens at Rs 216 per dozen. He paid Rs 58 for conveyance and sold the pens at the discount of Rs 2 per pen and made an overall profit of Rs 50. Find the M.P. of each pen.
Solution:
Cost of 1 dozen pens = Rs 216 + Rs 58
CP = Rs 274
Discount for each pen = Rs 2
Overall profit = Rs 50
Total discount for 12 pens = Rs 2 × 12
= Rs 24
Selling price of 12 pens = Mp – Discount
SP = Mp – Rs 24
Profit = SP – CP
Rs 50 = Mp – Rs 24 – Rs 274
MP = Rs 50 + Rs 24 + Rs 274
= Rs 348 (1 dozen)
MP of each pen = Rs 348 / 12
= Rs 174/6
= Rs 29

Question 7.
A vegetable vendor buys 10 kg of tomatoes per day at ₹ 10 per kg, for the first three days of a weak. 1 kg of tomatoes got smashed on every day for those 3 days. For the remaining 4 days of the week, he buys 15 kg of tomatoes daily at ₹ 8 per kg. If for the entire week he sells tomatoes at ₹ 20 per kg, then find his profit or loss for the week.
Solution:
Total tomatoes bought for 3 days = 3 × 10 = 30 kg
Cost of 1 kg = ₹ 10
Cost of 30kg tomatoes = 30 × 10 = ₹ 300
Total tomatoes bought for other 4 days = 4 × 15 = 60 kg
Cost of 1 kg = ₹ 8
Cost of 60 kg tomatoes = 60 × 8 = ₹ 480
Total cost of 90 kg tomatoes = 300 + 480 = ₹ 780
C.P = ₹ 780
Tomatoes smashed = 3 kg
Total kg of Tomatoes for sale = 90 – 3 = 87 kg
S.P of 1 kg tomatoes = ₹ 20
S.P of 87 kg tomatoes = 87 × 20 = ₹ 1740
Here S.P > C.P
Profit = S.P – C.P = 1740 – 780 = ₹ 960
Profit = ₹ 960

Question 8.
An electrician buys a used T.V. for Rs 12,000 and a used Fridge for Rs 11,000. After spending Rs 1,000 on repairing the T.V. and Rs 1500 on painting the Fridge, he fixes up the M.P. of T.V. as Rs 15,000 and that of Fridge as Rs 15,500. If he gives Rs 1000 discount on each find his profit or loss.
Solution:
Total cost price of TV and Fridge = Rs 12,000 + Rs 11,000 + Rs 1,000 + Rs 1,500 = Rs 25,500
Selling price of TV = MP – Discount = Rs 15,000 – Rs 1,000 = Rs 14,000
Selling price of Fridge = MP – Discount = Rs 15,500 – Rs 1,000 = Rs 14,500
Total Selling price of TV and Fridge = Rs 14,000 + Rs 14,500 = Rs 28,500
SP > CP
Profit = SP – CP = Rs 28,500 – Rs 25,500 = Rs 3,000

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 6th Maths Solutions Term 3 Chapter 3 Perimeter and Area Ex 3.2

Miscellaneous Practice Problems

Question 1.
A piece of wire is 36 cm long. What will be the length of each side if we form
i) a square
ii) an equilateral triangle.
Solution:
Given the length of the wire = 36 cm
i) When a square is formed out of it
The perimeter of the square = 36 cm
4 × side = 36
side = \(\frac{36}{4}\) = 9 cm
Side of the square

ii) When an equilateral triangle is formed out of it, its perimeter = 36 cm
i.e., side + side + side = 36 cm .
3 × side = 36 cm
side = \(\frac{36}{3}\) = 12 cm
One side of an equilateral triangle = 12 cm

Question 2.
From one vertex of an equilateral triangle with side 40 cm, an equilateral triangle with 6 cm side is removed. What is the perimeter of the remaining portion?
Solution:

If an equilateral triangle of side 6 cm is removed the perimeter = (40 + 34 + 6 +34) cm = 114 cm
Perimeter of the remaining portion = 114 cm

Question 3.
Rahim and peter go for a morning walk, Rahim walks around a square path of side 50 m and Peter walks around a rectangular path with length 40 m and breadth 30 m. If both of them walk 2 rounds each, who covers more distance and by how much?
Solution:
Distance covered by Rahim
= 50 × 4 m
= 200 m
If he walks 2 rounds, distance covered = 2 × 200 m
= 400 m
Distance covered by peter
= 2 (40 + 30) m
= 2(70)m
= 140 m
If he walks 2 rounds, distance covered = 2 × 140 m
= 280 m
∴ Rahim covers more distance by (400 – 280) = 120 m

Question 4.
The length of a rectangular park is 14 m more than its breadth. If the perimeter of the park is 200 m, what is its length? Find the area of the park?
Solution:
Given length of rectangular park is 14m more than its breadth.
Let the breadth be b m .
∴ Length of the park will be l = b + 14 m
Given perimeter = 200 m
2 × (l + b) = 200 m
2 × (b + 14 + b) = 200 m [∵ l = b + 14]
2 × (2b + 14) = 200 m
2b + 14 = \(\frac{200}{2}\) m
2b + 14 = 100 m
2b = 100 – 14 m
2b = 86 m
b = \(\frac{86}{2}\) m
b 43 m
Length Length of the park = 57 m
Area of a rectangle = (length × breadth) unit²
= (57 × 43) m² = 2,451 m²
Area of the park = 2,451 m²

Question 5.
Your garden is in the shape of a square of side 5 m. Each side is to be fenced with 2 rows of wire. Find how much amount is needed to fence the garden at Rs 10 per meter.
Solution:
a = 5 m
Perimeter of the garden
= 4 a units
= 4 × 5 m
= 20 m
For 1 row
Amount needed to fence l m= Rs 10
Amount needed to fence 20 m
= Rs 10 × 20
= Rs 200
For 2 rows
Total amount needed = 2 × Rs 200
= Rs 400

Challenge Problems

Question 6.
A closed shape has 20 equal sides and one of its sides is 3 cm. Find its perimeter.
Solution:
Number of equal sides in the shape = 20
One of its side = 3 cm
Perimeter = length of one side × Number of equal sides
∴ Perimeter = (3 × 20) cm = 60 cm
∴ Perimeter = 60 cm

Question 7.
A rectangle has length 40 cm and breadth 20 cm. How many squares with side 10 cm can be formed from it.
Solution:
l = 40 cm, b = 20 cm
Area of the rectangle = l × b sq units
= 40 × 20 cm²
= 800 cm²
a = 10 cm
Area of the square = a × a sq. units
= 10 × 10 cm²
= 100 m²
No of squares formed = \(\frac{800}{100}\) cm²
= 8

Question 8.
The length of a rectangle is three times its breadth. If its perimeter is 64 cm, find the sides of the rectangle.
Solution:
Given perimeter of a rectangle = 64 cm
Also given length is three times its breadth.
Let the breadth of the rectangle = b cm
∴ Length = 3 × b cm
Perimeter = 64 m
i.e., 2 × (l + b) = 64 m
2 × (3b + b) = 64 m
2 × 4b = 64m
4b = \(\frac{64}{2}\) = 32 m
b = \(\frac{32}{4}\) = 8 m
l = 3 × b = 3 × 8 = 24 m
∴ Breadth of the rectangle = 8 m
Length of the rectangle = 24 m

Question 9.
How many different rectangles can be made with a 48 cm long string? Find the possible pairs of length and breadth of the rectangles.
Solution:
12 rectangles
(1, 23), (2, 22), (3, 21), (4, 20), (5, 19), (6, 18), (7, 17), (8, 16), (9, 15), (10, 14), (11, 13), (12, 12)

Question 10.
Draw a square B whose side is twice of the square A. Calculate the perimeters of the squares A and B.
Solution:

Perimeter of A = s + s + s + s units = 4 s units
Perimeter of B = (2s + 2s + 2s + 2s) units
= 8s units = 2 (4s) units.
∴ Perimeter of B is twice perimeter of A

Question 11.
What will be the area of a new square formed if the side of a square is made one – fourth?
Solution:
Area of the new square is reduced to \(\frac{1}{16}\) th times to that of the original area.

Question 12.
Two plots have the same perimeter. One is a square of side 10 m and another is a rectangle of breadth 8 m. Which plot has the greater area and by how much?
Solution:

Given perimeter of square = perimeter of rectangle
4 × side = 2 (length + breadth)
(4 × 10) m = 2(l + 8)m
\(\frac{4 \times 10}{2}\) = l + 8
20 = l + 8
l = 20 – 8
l = 12 m
∴ length of the rectangle = 12 m
Area of the square plot – side × side = 10 × 10 m² = 100 m²
Area of the rectangular plot = length × breadth = (12 × 8) m² = 96 m²
100 m² > 96 m²
∴ Square plot has greater area by 4m²

Question 13.
Look at the picture of the house given and find the total area of the shaded portion.

Solution:
Total area of the shaded region = Area of a right triangle + Area of a rectangle
= (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × b × h) + (l × b) cm²
= [(\(\frac{1}{2}\) × 3 × 4) + (9 × 6)] cm²
= (6 + 54) cm² = 60 cm²

Question 14.
Find the approximate area of the flower in the given square grid.

Solution:
Approximate area = Number of full squares + Number of more than half squares + \(\frac{1}{2}\) × Number of half squares.
= 10 + 5 + (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × 1) Sq units. = 10 + 5 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) sq. units
= 15 \(\frac{1}{2}\) sq. units = 15.5 sq. units.

B. Think and Answer.

Question 1.
Work in groups. Discuss and have a debate on life in bustling cities and life in calm towns.
Answer:
Introduction : Village life refers to the living conditions of rural people. City life refers to the life of urban people. There is a wide difference between village life and city life. Both the city and town or village serve functional purpose in their own way. The town feeds and clothes people and the city provides learning and culture. There is a wide gap in the amenities Of life between the city and the town.

A student about city life : Dear students, I would like to say that city life is full of glamour and is very fascinating. There are magnificient multistoreyed buildings, broad roads, shopping malls, multiplexes, electric lights, etc. In large cities there are mills, factories and industries too. All these dazzle the eyes of new comers to the city. Here, there is novelty in everything. The daily routine of life is different. People spend their evening in a park, a library, shopping mall or a cinema hall. Then there are football, tennis and cricket matches, public meetings, speeches by eminent persons, etc. All these are entirely absent in villages. So I conclude saying that city life is fascinating and provide livelihood for a larger number of poor people.

Second student about town life : I don’t agree with you. Though Town life is plain and simple, here there is no din and bustle of the city. Everything is calm and quiet. People are in direct touch with nature. Most of their time passes in looking after fields and cattle. They are religious and pious. They enjoy pure air. They get pure and unadulterated food grains, fruits, milk and milk products. They get fresh vegetables and fruits. So I conclude that village or town life is a calm, healthy and pleasant life.

Question 2.
Imagine you are the girl and give a different ending to the story.
Answer:
When my father was posted in Patna, we had to move there. On a fine Sunday morning, my brother challenged me for a cycle race. I agreed. We started off with a big scream. I was determined to win the race, as I have not won the race earlier. So I pedalled, as fast as I could. My legs and hands ached. Gradually, I moved ahead of my brother. Suddenly I bumped on a cow, which was in the middle of the *, road. The frightened cow ran away. I fell down and immediately got up. ‘I want to win’. This thought made me not to bother of my pain. My brother was closer to me. Slowly I managed to pedal the cycle again. My brother had gone a little further than me. I gathered courage and speed after sometime. I pedalled as fast as I could and reached the finishing point, two seconds before my brother. I screamed with glee that I had won the race.

Once there lived three friends Vani, Kavi and Sumi. They always played pranks on one another. One day Vani bought some delicious berries and she decided to share them with her friends.

Kavi and Sumi were delighted to see the berries. The three of them sat and started eating the berries. Suddenly Sumi decided to play a trick on Kavi. When she looked under her chair she saw a small heap of berry seeds. She stealthily pushed the heap of seeds under Kavi’s chair.

Then Sumi said, “What is this Kavi? You are so greedy! You alone have eaten so many berries.” Kavi felt bad and didn’t know what to say.

Vani looked here and there. When she looked under Sumi’s chair there were no seeds. So, she replied “Sumi, Kavi was at least greedy, but see yourself. You have eaten all the berries including its seeds.” Then Kavi understood that her friend had just played a trick on her and then all three of them laughed heartily.

Moral: It is a foolish thing to play stupid with others.

Nothing works faster to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humour lightens your burden, inspires hope, connects you to others and keeps you grounded, focussed and alert. A good hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after. It improves the function of blood and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against heart attack and other vascular diseases. Shared laughter is one of the most effective tool.

Section II

As Savita was ahead of her brother, she could see the comer in a cloudy form. She was about to shout with joy. Just then, she saw a cow that stood in the middle of the road. She applied the brakes suddenly, but was thrown off the cycle. She landed on to the back of the cow. The cow was startled and started running out of fear. Savita clunged to her tightly for her dear life. The frightened cow charged straight at the cavalry officers, who were on horseback. The horses panicked and scattered. There was regular rush everywhere. The cow managed to fall into ditch and in the process freed Savita. She landed on the soft earth bordering the ditch.

Read the events of the story. They are in the wrong order. Put them in the correct order.

• And it charged straight at the cavalry officers on horseback. [6]
• And so she flew onto the back of the cow. [4]
• So everybody panicked and made a general rush to safety. [7]
• The startled cow charged off in fear. [5]
• She applied the brakes, but was thrown off the cycle. [3]
• Just then, she saw a lone cow in the middle of the road. [2]
• Finally the cow fell into a ditch and dislodged the girl. [8]
• The girl cried out in delight as she overtook her brother on her cycle. [1]

Section III.

Savita sat up with pain. The cavalry horses were still out of control. Some of them were running madly in circles. Their riders tried to bring them under control. Two horses were not’seen anywhere and another horse threw its rider right in front of the narrator’s eyes. He landed in the ditch just next to the cow. The cow thought it was another attack and lowered its head at the unlucky man.

The poor man climbed hurriedly out of the ditch, tearing his pants at an awkward place. Realising his pants being tom, he sat on the road with a thump. Her brother approached her and commented that she looked such a sight on top of that cow. He started laughing and asked her whether she was alright. She did not want to admit to her brother that she was frightened. So she arrogantly told him that she was alright. Just then, her brother saw one of the horse riders coming towards them with a threatening look and there was also a man to whom the cow belonged coming behind him. So they thought that it would be safe, if both of them moved fast from that place.

Otherwise, they would be called in for a lot of explanation. Both got into their cycles and moved away fast, as they did not want to add another unpleasant episode to the morning event.

Based on your reading, put a (✓) for the correct and (×) for the incorrect statements.

Brought to Book Summary

This story ‘Brought to book’ written by Madhumita Gupta insists on the proper maintenance of books and note books by the students. Mahesh dreams that he had been taken to the court to be punished for his ill-treatment of his books and notebooks.

The story begins with Justice Mathematics striking the hammer for silence in the court. He glared at Mahesh and the crowd and called for the first witness. Mahesh chewed his nails nervously. Ms. English, the first witness, complained to him that she wore a pink and grey dress, when she came to the house of Mahesh. But at present, she looked unrecognizable, covered with ink, grease spots, mercilessly dog-eared and the two comers chewed away. She looked worn out and tears rolled down her cheeks. She told the judge that Mahesh brought her home a few months back, but never bothered to cover her properly with the nice brown paper, that his father had brought.

Though he was scolded and punished by his teacher for that, he did not bother to rectify himself. He mined her looks by dropping her carelessly, stuffed her anyhow in his crammed bag and sometimes stuffed her next to the lunch box dripping with oil. Listening to all this, Mahesh got worried and realised his mistake of not listening to his mother’s advice to take care of his books. He was otherwise a good boy and even managed to stay within the first five ranks in class. But he was extremely lazy.

Next Mr. Geography complained that he was in a worse condition than Ms. English. He had no cover, the content page was hanging in and the maps were filled mercilessly with colours. He envied his brother who belonged to Shobitha. She handled him neatly. Mr. Pencil box complained that Mahesh never cleaned it. He sometimes chewed him whenever he got stuck for an answer. The school bag complained about his broken straps and buckles. Master Notebook complained that he threw him against the wall, as he failed to solve a problem in Mathematics. So, finally all of them decided to punish him by thrashing him.

When everyone was almost upon him, Ms. English asked the Justice Mathematics to give Mahesh a second chance because that was his first offence and he deserved a little consideration. The others saw reason and slowly backed off. Suddenly he heard his Mother shouting at him to get up. It was a dream. He got up and covered all his books. The following year, Mahesh Kumar got the prize for the “Best Looked-After books”.
