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:
Pages read in 2 hours = 20
Then pages read in 1 hour = \(\frac{20}{2}\) = 10 pages.
Pages will be read in 8 hours = 8 × 10 = 80 pages.
Number of pages will be read in 8 hrs = 80 pages
Question 4.
The cost of 15 chairs is Rs 7500. Find the number of such chairs that can be purchased for Rs 12000?
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:
With 5kg LP Gas distance covered = 125 km
With 1 kg LP Gas distance covered = \(\frac{125}{5}\) = 25 km
With 3 kg LP Gas distance covered = 25 × 3 = 75 km.
75 km can be covered with 3 kg LP Gas.
Question 6.
Cholan walks 6 km in 1 hour at 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 is 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:
Correct answers given by Kaarmugilan and Kavitha are in the ratio 10 : 11
Total of 84 points will be divided into 10 + 11 = 21 equal parts
Points scored by Kavitha = \(\frac{11}{21} \times 84\) = 44 points
Kavitha scored 44 points in the quiz.
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)
