🔑 Show Answer Key — Set 3
  1. 1. (a) 62° As per property of A. exterior angle is equals to sum of interior opposite angles Let the other interior angle to be found be ‘x’ ∴ x + 58 = 120° ∴ x = 120 – 58 = 62°
  2. 2. (D) 200 Hint: Let the number be ‘X’ 60% of the number is \(\frac{60}{100}\) × x = \(\frac{60x}{100}\) Given that when 60 is subtracted from 60%, we get 60 i.e \(\frac{60}{100}\) x – 60 = 60 ∴ \(\frac{60}{100}\) x 60 + 60 = 120 ∴ x = \(\frac{120 \times 100}{60}\) = 200
  3. 3. (C) 0
  4. 4. (b) 20 Hint: Let number be ‘x’ ∴ half of number is \(\frac{x}{2}\) Sum of number and it’s half is given by x + \(\frac{x}{2}\) = 30 [Multiplying by 2 on both sides] 2x + x = 30 × 2 3x = 60 x = \(\frac{60}{3}\) = 20

  33. 33. Here what we know a + b + c = 58 (sum of three numbers is 58) Let the first number be b ‘x’ b = a + 3 (the second number is three times of of the first \(\frac{2}{5}\) number) b = 3 × \(\frac{2}{5}\)x \(\frac{6}{5}\)x Third number = x – 6 Sum of the numbers is given as 58. ∴ x + \(\frac{6}{5}\)x + (x – 6) = 58 Multiplying by 5 throughout, we get 5 × x + 6x + 5 × (x – 6) = 58 × 5 5x + 6x + 5x – 30 = 290 ∴ 16x = 290 + 30 ∴ 16x = 320 ∴ x = \(\frac{320}{16}\) x = 20 1 st number = 203 rd number = 24 – 16 = 14
  34. 34. Area of the sector A = \(\frac{l r}{2}\) sq. units l = 48m r = 10m = \(\frac{48 \times 10}{2}\) m 2 = 24 × 10m 2 = 240 m 2 Area of the sector = 240 m 2 (ii) length of the arc = 50 cm, r = 13.5 cm Length of the arc l = 12.5 cm Radius r = 6 cm Area of the sector A = \(\frac{l r}{2}\) sq. units A = \(\frac{12.5 \times 6}{2}\) A = 12.5 × 3cm 2 A = 37.5 cm 2 Area of the sector A = 37.5 cm 2
  35. 35. In a day, there are 24 hours . ∴ 10 hrs out of 24 hrs is \(\frac{10}{24}\) As a percentage, we need to multiply by 100 ∴ Percentage = \(\frac{10}{24}\) × 100 = 41.67%
