Q5 It takes 12 hours to fill a swimming pool using two pipes. If the pipe of larger diameter is
used for 4 hours and the pipe of smaller diameter for 9 hours, only half the pool can be filled.
How long would it take for each pipe to fill the pool separately?
Q6The sum of a two digit number and the number formed by reversing its digits is 110. If 10 is
subtracted from the number, the new number is 4 more than 5 times the sum of the digits in the
original number. Find the
number.
Q7Susan invested certain amount of money in two schemes A and B, which offer interest at the
rate of 8% per annum and 9% per annum, respectively. She received 1860 as annual interest.
However, had she interchanged the amount of investments in the two schemes, she would have
received 20 more as annual
interest. How much money did she invest in each scheme?
Q8 X takes 3 hours more than Y to walk 30 km. But, if X doubles his speed, he is ahead of Y by
1.5 hours. Find their speed of walking.
Q9 In a function if 10 guests are sent from room A to B, the number of guests in room A and B
are same. If 20 guests are sent from B to A, the number of guests in A is double the number of
guests in B. Find number of
guests in both the rooms in the beginning.
Q10 A vessel contains a mixture of 24 litres milk and 6 litres water and second vessel contains
a mixture of 15 litres milk and 10 litres water. How much mixture of milk and water should be
taken from the first and the second vessel separately and kept in a third vessel so that the third
vessel may contain a mixture of 25 litres milk and 10 litres water.
Q11 A shopkeeper sells a shirt at 8% profit and a sweater at 10% discount, thereby, getting a
sum 1008. If she had sold the shirt at 10% profit and the sweater at 8% discount, she would
have got 1028. Find the cost
price of the shirt and the list price
18 A lab assistant has a solution of 50% acid and the other one having 25% acid. How much of
each should be mixed to make 10 litres of 40% acid solution?
18. Vijay had some sweets. He divided them into two lots A and B. He sold the first lot at the
rate of 2 for 3 sweets and the second lot at 1 per sweet and thus received a total of 400. Had he
sold the first lot at the rate of 1 per sweet and the second lot at 4 for 5 sweets, his total
collection would have been 460. Find the total no of sweets he had?

𝑎 and 𝐵𝐶 = 𝑏, then
prove that 1/x +1/y=1/z
Q1 The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of
incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.Ramesh places a mirror on level ground to
determine the height of a pole (with traffic light fired on it). He stands
at a certain distance so that he can see the top of the pole reflected from the mirror.
Ramesh’s eye level is 1.5 m above the ground. The distance of Ramesh and the pole from
the mirror are 1.8 m and 6 m respectively.
(i) Which criterion of similarity is applicable to similar triangles?
(ii) What is the height of the pole?
(iii) If angle of incidence is i
iv Now Ramesh move behind such that distance between pole and Ramesh is 13 meters.
He place mirror between him and pole to see the reflection of light in right position. What
is the distance between mirror and Ramesh
Q2 Vijay is trying to find the average height of a tower near his house. He is using the
properties of similar triangles. The height of Vijay's house is 20m when Vijay's house
casts a shadow 10m long on the ground, at the same time , the tower casts a shadow 50
m long on the ground and the house of Ajay casts 20m shadow on the ground
