Let the age of Sunita's mother = 2x yr
Then, according to the question,
Sunita's age = \(\frac{2x}{2}\) = x [half of her mother's age
(i) After 4 yr, present age is added in given years.
Sunita's age = (x + 4) yr
∴ Her mother's age = (2x + 4) yr
(ii) Before 3 yr, given year is subtracted from present age.
∴ Sun ita's age = (x - 3) yr
and her mother's age = (2x - 3) yr
13.
According to the question,
Tanks to collect rain water = 9
Rain water is collected per tank (in L) = x
Then, total rain water in tanks (in L)
= Number of tanks x Per tank collected rain water
= 9\(\times\)x = 9x
But in the one tank, already 200 L of water exist, then total amount of water is given by = 200 + [Total rain water in L]
= 200 + 9x or (9x + 200)L
14.
Let the cost of 1 dozen be Rs x.
Then, cost of 3 dozen = Rs 3x

(b) Humanity, Helpfulness, caring for others.
15.
Let the two numbers be x and y, which has solution 2 in equation.
(i) For getting first equation, the number x is multiplied by 2, then the number is 2x. After
that, 3 is subtracted from it which results Into 1.
Hence, we have 2x - 3 = 1
On solving, 2x = 3 + 1 ⇒ 2x = 4 ⇒ x = 2
(ii) For getting second equation the number y is multiplied by 3, then the number IS 3y After that
it will be added to 4 and equal to 10
Hence, we have, 3y + 4=10
On solving, 3y=10-4 ⇒ 3y=6 ⇒ y=2 Hence, two equations are 2x - 3 = 1and 3y + 4 = 10
16.
Given, length of bulletin board =r cm
and breadth of bulletin board = t cm
Then, perimeter of this board = 2 (r + t) cm
and area of this board =rt cm2
(a) Required length of aluminium strip = [2 (r+ t)+ 10) cm
(b) To repair one board number of nails required = x
For 15 boards, numbers of nails = 15x
(c) Area of one board = rt sq cm
Area of eight boards = 8 rt sq cm
Extra cloth for one board = 500 sq cm
Extra cloth for eight boards = 4000 sq cm
Required area of the cloth = (8rt + 4000) sq cm
(d) Charges for one board = Rs x
Charges for 23 board = Rs 23 x

a) Let number be x.
Twice the number = 2x Then,2x-13=3
(b) Let the number be x.
One-fifth of this number =\(\frac{x}{5}\)
Then,\(\frac{x}{5}\)=x-5
(c) Let the number be x.
Two-third of this number =\(\frac{2}{3}x\)
∴ \(\frac{2x}{3}=12\)
(d) Let the number be x.
Twice of this number = 2x
Then, 2x + 9 =13
(e) Let the number be x.
One-third of this number =\(\frac{x}{3}\)
Then, \(\frac{x}{3}\)-1=1
18.
(a) Let the number be x.
Then, the required equation is x + 14 = 70
(b) Let the number be x.
Then, the required equation is x - 3 = 10
(c) Let the number be x.
Given, five times of x = 5x
∴ Required equation is 5x = 25
(d) Let the number be x.
One-third of x = \(\frac{x}{3}\)
Then, the equation is \(\frac{x}{3}\)=15
(e) Let the number be x.
Two times of this number = 2x
∴ The equation is 2x + 3 = 13

(a) Given, Anil's present age = x yr
Anil's age after 15 yr = (x + 15) yr
(b) 5 yr ago Anil's age = (x - 5) yr
5 times Anil's age, 5 yr ago = 5(x - 5) yr
(c) Given, Anil's age = x yr
Father's age = (2x + 15) yr
(d) 5 yr ago Anil's age = (x - 5) yr
Now, cousin's age = \([\frac{1}{3}(x-5)-3]\)yr
(e) Given, Anil's age = x yr
Anil's father age = (x + 20) yr
Anil's grandfather age = 2(x + 20) yr

(i) Let I be denoted by x.
We know that, a square has 4 corners and each corner is counted thrice.
∴ Total number of corners = 4\(\times\)3 = 12
By given condition, my self + total number of corners
⇒ x+12=34
Now, x=34-12=22 ⇒ x=22
By inspection, we have 22 + 12 =34
Thus, I am 22.
ii) Let I be denoted by x. There are 7 days in a week.
By given condition upcounting from x for 7, we get the sum = 23
i.e. x + 7 = 23
Now, x=23-7=16 ⇒ x=16
By inspection, we have 16 + 7 = 23
Thus, I am 16.
(iii) Let the special number be x.
Then, as per given condition take away 6 from x =whole cricket team i.e. x - 6 = 11
In cricket team, number of players = 11
Now, x = 11 + 6 = 17
⇒ x=17
By inspection, we have 17 - 6 = 11
Thus, the special number is 17.
(iv) Let I be denoted by x.
By given condition, take x out of 22 = x
⇒ 22 - x = x ⇒x + x = 22
⇒ 2x = 22 ⇒ x = 11
By inspection, we have 2\(\times\)11 = 22
Thus, I am 11.

Given, the Meena is at step = 5

Also, Beena is 8 steps ahead.
∴ Beena is at step = 5 + 8 and Leena is 7 steps behind
∴ Leena is at step = 5 - 7
Now, total number of steps = 10 less than 4 times Meena's steps = 4\(\times\)Meena's steps - 10 = 45 -10
Hence, total number of steps using 5 can be expressed as (45 - 10).
25.
Let Sarita's present age = y yr
(i) Sarita's age after 5 yr from now = (y + 5) yr
(ii) Sarita's age 3 yr back = (y - 3) yr
(iii) Given, Sarita's grandfather is 6 times of her age So,
Sarita's grandfather age = 6\(\times\)Sarita's present age =6\(\times\)y=6yyr
(iv) Given, grandmother is 2 yr younger than grandfather. Age of grandfather = 6y yr [from (iii)]
∴ Age of grandmother = [Grandfather's age - 2] yr =(6y-2)yr
(v) Given, Sarita's father's age is 5 yr more than 3 times Sarita's age.
Sarita's present age =y yr
3 times of Sarita's age = 3y yr
∴ Sarita's father age = 3\(\times\)Sarita's age + 5 = (3y + 5) yr
