14. 3.i participated in a race 1/5th of those who are before me and 5/6th are behind me. Find the total number of
participants. 3 marks
Ans : 31

4.A & B are two friends. Together they go from shopping .A buys a hat and a suit.all together A spends 15
rupees. B buys a hat which costs same as the suit bought buy A. B says to a that”if at all i had bought my hat
by spending 1.5 times u spent on buyingh ur hat, we both would have spent the same amount on buying our
items(together ie 15 rs)
a.what is cost of hat bought by A
b. the money A & B spent all together. 6marks
Ans (a) 6.4rs
(b)rs 29
Ans 4 a. lets sayA spent x & y on hat and suit resp.
From the condition we can say B spent y and x-1 rs on hat and dress resp.
From what B told to A we can write
x+y=15
=1.5x+(x-1)=15
=2.5x-1=15
=x=16/2.5=6.4rs
b. total A alone spent =x+y=15.
B spent =y+(x-1)=14
=x+y-1
=15-1=14
so together they spent 15+14=29 rs

Q5) A man starts from XYZ city and drives a constant speed. After some time he sees a milestone with two
digits written on it. after he drives for an hour, he sees another milestone with the same digits, but in reversed
order. After another hour of journey, he sees another milestone with original digits but with a zero between
them.
What was the speed of his car if milestones show kilometers? ( 6 marks)
Ans ) 45 kmph
Let speed of car be x kmph
Let at first he sees digits as ‘ab’…that is the value of number is: 10a+b
After traveling for one hour, he sees the number as ‘ba’…thus its value is 10b+a

16. After traveling another hour,he sees the number as ‘a0b’…thus value is 100a+b
Now,
10a+b+x=10b+a..which gives x=9b-9a
10b+a+x=100a+b..which gives x=99a-9b
Equating we get,
b=6a
since ‘a’ and ‘b’ are digits, a=1 and b=6 and thus x=45

she added “if we had divided our hat money differently so that we bought different hats mine costing 1 and 1/2
time cost of yours” then we each would have spent the same amount of money.
In that case Uncle Reuben asked "how much would my hat have cost" (6 marks)
Ans). Uncles hat costs $9 (total money was $29)(not sure)check it

Sides of cube = 3 X 3 X 3
No faces painted=(n-2) X (n-2) X (n-2)
=(3-2) X (3-2) X (3-2) = 1(Sure)
1 side painted = 6 X (n-2) X (n-2)

Solution:

18. Let the fifth digit be X, then fourth digit =2X and third digit = 4X.
And also Second digit is 5 more than the last digit.
Therefore 2nd digit = X + 5
Also first digit = 4X * 2
It is clear from the above statements that the fifth digit must be 1.
Therefore the number is 86421. (Sure)

The Death Car

19. It was cold night in September. The rain was drumming on the car roof as George & Marie Winstion drove
through the empty country roads towards the house of their friends, the Harrissons, where they were going to
attend a party to celebrate the engagement of the Harrisons daughter, Lisa. As they drove, they listened to the
local radio station, which was playing classical music. They were about 5 miles from the destination when the
music on the radio was interrupted by a news announcement: “The Cheshire police have issued a serious
warning after a man escaped from Colford Mental Hospital earlier this evening. The man, John Downey, is
murderer who killed 6 people before he was captured 2 years ago. He is described as large, very strong &
extremely dangerous. People in the Cheshire area are warned to keep their doors & windows locked, & to call
the police immediately if they se anyone acting strangely.” Marie shivered, “A crazy killer. And he’s out there
somewhere. That’s scary.”“Don’t worry about it,” said her husband. “We’re nearly there now. Anyway, we have
more important things to worry about. This car is losing power for some reason—it must be that old problem
with the carburetor, If it gets any worse, we’ll have to stay at the Harrisons’ tonight & get it fixed before we
travel back tomorrow,” As he spoke, the car began to slow down, George pressed the accelerator, but the
engine only coughed. Finally they rolled to a halt, as the engine died completely, Just as they stopped, George
pulled the car off the road, & it came to rest under a large tree. “Blast!” said George angrily. “Now we’ll have to
walk in the rain.” “But that’ll take us an hour at least,” said Marie. “And I have my high-held shoes & my nice
clothes on. They’ll be ruined!” “Well, you’ll have to wait while I run to the nearest house & call the Harissons.
Someone can come out & picks us up,” said George. “But George! Have you forgotten what the radio said?
There’s a homicidal maniac out there! You can’t leave me alone here!” “You’ll have to hide in the back of the car.
Lock all the doors & lie on the floor in the back, under this blanket. No-one will see you, when I come back, I’ll
knock 3 times on the door. Then you can get up & open it. Don’t open it unless you here 3 knocks.” George
opened the door & slipped out into the rain. He quickly disappeared into the blackness. Marie quickly locked the
doors & settled down under the blanket in the back for a long wait. She was frightened & worried, but she was
a strong-minded woman. She had not been waiting long, however, when she heard a strange scratching noise.
It seemed to be coming from the roof of the car. Marie was terrified. She listened, holding her breath. Then she
heard 3 slow knocks, one after the other, also on the roof of the car. Was it her husband? Should she open the
door? Then she heard another knock, and another. This was not her husband. It was somebody--or something--
else. She was shaking with fear. But she forced herself to lie still. The knocking continued-- bump, bump, bump,
bump Many hours later, as the sun rose, she was still lying there. She had not slept for a moment. The
knocking had never stopped, all night long. She did not know what to do. Where was George? Why had he not
come for her? Suddenly, she heard the sound of 3 or 4 vehicles, racing quickly down the road. All of them
pulled up around her, their tires screeching on the road. At last! Some one had come! Marie sat up quickly &
looked out the window. The 3 vehicles were all police cars, & 2 still had their lights flashing. Several policemen
leap out. One of them rushed towards the car as Marie opened the door. He took her by the hand. “Get out of
the car & walk with me to the police vehicle. miss. You’re safe now. Look straight ahead. Keep looking at police
car. Don’t look back. Just don’t look back.” Something in the way he spoke filled Marie with cold horror. She
could not help herself. After 10 yards from the police car, she stopped, turned & looked back at the empty
vehicle. George was hanging from the tree above the car, a rope tied around his neck. As the wind blew his
body back & forth, his feet were bumping gently on the roof of the car-- bump, bump, bump, bump
