Exercise 12D page: 145

1. One-fifth of a number is 5, find the number.

Solution:

Consider the number = x

Based on the condition

(1/5)x = 5

By cross multiplication

x = 5 × 5 = 25

Hence, the number is 25.

2. Six times a number is 72, find the number.

Solution:

Consider the number = x

Based on the condition

6x = 72

So we get

x = 72/6 = 12

Hence, the number is 12.

3. If 15 is added to a number, the result is 69, find the number.

Solution:

Consider the number = x

Based on the condition

x + 15 = 69

So we get

x = 69 – 15 = 54

Hence, the number is 54.

4. The sum of twice a number and 4 is 80, find the number.

Solution:

Consider the number = x

Based on the condition

2x + 4 = 80

So we get

2x = 80 – 4 = 76

x = 76/2 = 38

Hence, the number is 38.

5. The difference between a number and one-fourth of itself is 24, find the number.

Solution:

Consider the number = x

Based on the condition

x – (1/4)x = 24

Taking LCM

(4x – x)/ 4 = 24

3x/4 = 24

By cross multiplication

x = 24 × 4/3

So we get

x = 8 × 4 = 32

Hence, the number is 32.

6. Find a number whose one-third part exceeds its one-fifth part by 20.

Solution:

Consider the number = x

Based on the condition

(1/3)x – (1/5)x = 20

Here the LCM of 3 and 5 is 15

(5x – 3x)/ 15 = 20

2x/15 = 20

So we get

x = 20 × 15/2 = 150

Hence, the number is 150.

7. A number is as much greater than 35 as is less than 53. Find the number.

Solution:

Consider the number = x

Based on the condition

x – 35 = 53 – x

By further calculation

2x = 88

So we get

x = 88/2 = 44

Hence, the number is 44.

8. The sum of two numbers is 18. If one is twice the other, find the numbers.

Solution:

Consider the first number = x

Second number = y

Based on the condition

x + y = 18 ….. (1)

x = 2y …… (2)

Now substituting the equation (2) in (1)

2y + y = 18

3y = 18

So we get

y = 18/3 = 6

Substituting the value of y in equation (2)

x = 2 × 6 = 12

Hence, the two numbers are 12 and 6.

9. A number is 15 more than the other. The sum of the two numbers is 195. Find the numbers.

Solution:

Consider the first number = x

Second number = y

Based on the condition

x = y + 15 ….. (1)

x + y = 195 …. (2)

Now substituting equation (1) in (2) we get

y + 15 + 7 = 195

2y = 195 – 15 = 180

So we get

y = 180/2 = 90

Substituting the value of y in equation (1)

x = 90 + 15 = 105

Hence, the two numbers are 105 and 90.

10. The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 54. Find the numbers.

Solution:

Consider the first even number = x

Second even number = x + 2

Third even number = x + 4

Based on the condition

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 54

By further calculation

3x + 6 = 54

3x = 54 – 6 = 48

So we get

x = 48/3 = 16

First even number = 16

Second even number = 16 + 2 = 18

Third even number = 16 + 4 = 20

11. The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 63. Find the numbers.

Solution:

Consider the first odd number = x

Second odd number = x + 2

Third odd number = x + 4

Based on the condition

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 63

By further calculation

3x + 6 = 63

3x = 63 – 6 = 57

So we get

x = 57/3 = 19

First odd number = 19

Second odd number = 19 + 2 = 21

Third odd number = 19 + 4 = 23

12. A man has ₹ x from which he spends ₹ 6. If twice of the money left with him is ₹ 86, find x.

Solution:

Consider ₹ x as the total amount

Based on the condition

2x = 86

By further calculation

x = 86/2 = 43

Amount spent by him = ₹ 6

So the total money he have = 43 + 6 = ₹ 49

13. A man is four times as old as his son. After 20 years, he will be twice as old as his son at that time. Find their present ages.

Solution:

Consider the present age of son = x years

So the present age of father = 4x years

After 20 years

Age of son = (x + 20) years

Age of father = (4x + 20) years

Based on the condition

4x + 20 = 2 (x + 20)

By further calculation

4x + 20 = 2x + 40

2x = 20

So we get

x = 10

So the present age of son = 10 years

Present age of father = 4 × 10 = 40 years

14. If 5 is subtracted from three times a number, the result is 16. Find the number.

Solution:

Consider x as the number

Based on the condition

3x – 5 = 16

By further calculation

3x = 16 + 5 = 21

So we get

x = 21/3 = 7

Hence, the number is 7.

15. Find three consecutive natural numbers such that the sum of the first and the second is 15 more than the third.

Solution:

Consider the first consecutive number = x

Second consecutive number = x + 1

Third consecutive number = x + 2

Based on the condition

x + x + 1 = 15 + x + 2

By further calculation

2x + 1 = 17 + x

2x – x = 17 – 1

So we get

x = 16

First consecutive number = 16

Second consecutive number = 16 + 1 = 17

Third consecutive number = 16 + 2 = 18
