10.
I have a total of Rs. 300 in coins of denomination Rs. 1, Rs.2 and Rs. 5. The number of Rs. 2 coins is 3 times the number of Rs.5 coins. The total number of coins is 160.How many coins of each denomination are with me?
1.
Let the digit at unit place be 'x'.
\(\therefore\) The digit at the tens place = (x + 5)
\(\therefore\) Original number = 10(x + 5) + x
With interchange of digits, the new number = 10x + (x + 5)
Now, according to the condition, we have
[original number] + [New number] = 99
or [10(x + 5) + x] + [10x + (x + 5)] = 99
or [10x + 50 + x] + [10x + x + 5] = 99
or 11x + 50 + 11x + 5 = 99
or 22x + 55 = 99
Transposing 55 to RHS, we have
22x = 99 - 55 = 44
Dividing both sides by 22, we have
x = 44 + 22 = 2
\(\therefore\) x = 2
i.e., Unit place digit = 2
\(\therefore\) Tens place digit = 2 + 5 = 7
Thus the original number = 72.
2.
Let the number of gold coins initially be x
Then, the number of non-gold coins be 3x. When,
10 more gold coins added
Then, the total number of gold coins = (10 + x)
Then, according to the question , \(\frac { (10+x) }{ 3x } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) 2 (10 + x) = 3x \(\Rightarrow\) 20 + 2x = 3x \(\Rightarrow\) x = 20
Then, total number of coins at last = 3x + 10 + x = 4x + 10 = 4 x 20 + 10 = 90
3.
Let box B's weight be x kg.
Since, box A weights \(2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) kg more than box Band box C weights \(10\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) kg more than box B.
Weight of box A = \(\left( x+2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) kg=\left( x+\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \right) kg\)
Weight of box B = \(\left( x+10\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \right) kg=\left( x+\frac { 41 }{ 4 } \right) kg\)
Total weight of all the boxes
\(\left( x+\frac { 5 }{ 2 } +x+x+\frac { 41 }{ 4 } \right) kg\)
According to the question,
Total weight = \(48\frac { 3 }{ 4 } kg=\frac { 195 }{ 4 } kg\)
\(\therefore\) \(x+\frac { 5 }{ 2 } +x+x+\frac { 41 }{ 4 } =\frac { 195 }{ 4 } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) 4x + 10+ 4x + 4x + 41 = 195 [multiplying both sides by 4]
\(\Rightarrow\) 12x + 51 = 195 \(\Rightarrow\) 12x = 144 \(\Rightarrow\) x = 12
\(\therefore\) weight box
A = \(\left( 12+\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \right) kg=\frac { 29 }{ 2 } kg=14\frac { 1 }{ 2 } kg\)
4.
Let the numerator of the number be x. Then, denominator of the number be (x - 4)
So, fraction \(\frac { x }{ x-4 } \)
According to the question, if 6 is added to numerator, it becomes thrice the denominator
\(\therefore\) \(\frac { x+6 }{ x-4 } =\frac { 3(x-4) }{ x-4 } \Rightarrow \frac { x+6 }{ x-4 } =3\)
\(\Rightarrow\) 3x -12 = x + 6 [by cross-multiplication]
\(\Rightarrow\) \(2x18\quad \Rightarrow x=9\)
Put x = 9 in Eq. (i), we get
Fraction = \(\frac { x }{ x-4 } =\frac { 9 }{ 9-4 } =\frac { 9 }{ 5 } \)
5.
(a) Let volume of the water in second tank be x L3
Volume of the water in first tank = 2x L3
Now, as per the given condition, we have
2x - 25 = x + 25
\(\Rightarrow\) 2x - x = 25 + 25
\(\Rightarrow\) x = 50 L
\(\therefore\) Volume of water in second tank = 50 L3 tank
volume of the water in first tank is 2 x 50 =100L3
(b) Check On putting x = 50 in the obtained Eq. (i), we get
2 x 50 - 25 = 50 + 25
\(\Rightarrow\) 100 - 25 = 75 \(\Rightarrow\) 75 =75
\(\therefore\) LHS = RHS
So, the solution of the given equation is correct
(c) In a scale, the balance from both the sides is needed. In such a manner, a linear equation is also solved, where balance from the LHS and RHS is needed

Let the number of Rs. 5 coins be x.
Then, the number of Rs. 2 coins = 3x
The total number of coins is 160 .
The number of coins of Rs. 1= 160 - (x + 3x)
= (160 - 4x)
The amount that I have from Rs. 5 coins = 5 x x = 5x
The amount that I have from Rs. 2 coins = 2 x 3x = 6x
The amount that I have from Rs. 1 coins
= 1 x (160 - 4x) = 160 - 4x
According to the question,
Total amount = 300
\(\Rightarrow\) 5x + 6x + (160 - 4x) = 300
\(\Rightarrow\) 5x +6x +160 - 4x = 300
\(\Rightarrow\) 7x + 160 = 300 [transposing 160 to RHS]
\(\Rightarrow\) 7x = 300 -160 [transposing 160 to RHS]
\(\Rightarrow\) 7x = 140
\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac { 140 }{ 7 } \) = 20 [dividing both sides by 7]
Number of Rs. 5 coins = x = 20
Number of Rs. 2 coins = 3x = 3 x 20 = 60
and number of Rs.1 coins = 160 - 4x = 160 - 4 x 20
= 160 - 80 = SO
Hence, I have SO,60 and 20 coins of denomination Rs.1, Rs. 2 and Rs 5, respectively.
