ANS
28 A part of monthly hostel charges in a college is fixed and the remaining depends on the 3
number of days one has taken food in the mess. When a student ‘A’ takes food for 22 days,
he has to pay Rs. 1380 as hostel charges; whereas a student ‘B’, who takes food for 28
days, pays Rs. 1680 as hostel charges. Find the fixed charges and the cost of food per day.

OR

Meena went to a bank to withdraw Rs 2,000. She asked the cashier to give her Rs. 50 and
Rs. 100 notes only. Meena got 25 notes in all. How many notes of Rs. 50 and Rs. 100 she
received?

ANS :

Let the fixed hostel charges be Rs. x and the cost of food per day be Rs. y. According to the
question,

we get x + 22y = 1380 ...(i)

and x + 28y = 1680 ...(ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii),

we get 6y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 ÷ 6 = 50

Putting y = 50 in (i),

we get x + 22(50) = 1380

⇒ x + 1100 = 1380
 ⇒ x = 280

∴ Fixed hostel charges = Rs. 280 and cost of the food per day = Rs. 50.

OR

Ans: Let Meena has received x no. of Rs. 50 notes and y no. of Rs. 100 notes.

So, 50x + 100y = 2000 ... (i)

x + y = 25 ... (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii),

we get y = 15 Putting y = 15 in equation (ii),

we get x + 15 = 25 ⇒ x = 10

Meena has received 10 pieces of Rs. 50 notes and 15 pieces of Rs. 100 notes.

29 Prove that: 3

OR

If cos θ + sin θ = √2 cos θ, show that cos θ – sin θ = √2 sin θ.

30 One card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the 3

locality. Find median, mean and mode of the data and compare them.
35 200 logs are stacked in the following manner: 20 logs in the bottom row, 19 in the next 5
row, 18 in the row next to it and so on (see below figure). In how may rows are the 200 logs
placed and how many logs are in the top row?
 Clearly, the number of logs in the 16th row is 5. However, the number of logs in
the 25th row is negative 4, which is not possible. Therefore, 200 logs can be placed
in 16 rows. The number of logs in the top (16th) row is 5

A person/observer on the sea coast observes two ships in the sea, both the ships are in
same straight path one behind the other. If the observer is on his building of height 20

 (i) If a person observes a ship whose angle of depression is 60° then how much
distance is the ship away from the building?
(ii) If a person observes another ship whose angle of depression is 45° then how
much distance that ship is away from the building?
(iii) If a person observes the ship whose angle of depression changes from 60° to
30° then how far be ship from the building if the observer is at 20 m of height
(including him)?

OR

iii) At a time when a person observes two ships whose angle of depressions are 60° and
