we have
175616 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7x 7 x 7 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 = 56

∵ A = P\((1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}\)
∴ A = 500\((1+\frac{12}{100})^{2}=500 (\frac{112}{100})^{2}\)
= 500\(\times \frac{12544}{10000}\) = Rs 627.2

Given, area of trapezium = 34 cm2
and height of trapezium = 4 cm
Let length of one parallel side be x cm, then another parallel side is 10 cm.
Now, area of trapezium =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) sum of parellel sides\(\times\)Perpendicular distance between the parallel sides
⇒ 34 =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) (x+10) \(\times\)4 ⇒ 34 =2x(x+10)
⇒ 17 = x + 10
⇒ x = 17-10 = 7
Hence, the length of other parallel side is 7 cm

⇒ 2x0 = 190°
⇒ x0 = 95°

Here, side of the square = 6 cm
\(\therefore\) Area of the square = Side x Side
= 6 cm x 6 cm = 36 cm2
Since, [Area of the rhombus]
= [Area of the square]
\(\therefore\) Area of the rhombus = 36 cm2
One of the diagonal of the rhombus = 4 cm
Let the other diagonal of the rhombus be
\(\therefore\) Area of rhombus
\(\therefore\frac{1}{2}\times Product \ of\ the\ diagonals\)
\(\therefore\) Area of the rhombus \(=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times d\)
Now, \(\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times d=36\Rightarrow d=\frac{36\times 2}{4}=18\)
Thus, the required length of the rhombus = 18 cm.

Here, it is clear that, more the number of winners, less is the prize money for each winner. So, it is a case of inverse proportion.
Let x2 = 2,y2 = 50000 and x3 = 4, y3 =?
We know that, x2y2 = x3 y3
∴ 2 x 50000 = 4 x y3
\({ y }_{ 3 }=\frac { 2\times 50000 }{ 4 } =\frac { 50000 }{ 2 } =25000\)
Now, x3 = 4, y3 = 25000 and x 4 = 5, y4 =?
∵ x3y3 = x4y4
4 X 25000 = 5 x y4
\({ \Rightarrow y }_{ 4 }=\frac { 4\times 25000 }{ 5 } =4\times 5000=20000\)
Now x4 =5,y4 =20000 and x5= 8,y5= ?
∵ x4y4 = x5y5
∴5 x 20000 = 8 x y5
\({ y }_{ 5 }=\frac { 5\times 20000 }{ 8 } =5\times 2500=12500\)
Now, x5 = 8, y5 = 12500 and x6 = 10, y6 =?
∵ x5y5 = x6y6
∴ 8 x 12500 = 10 x y6
\({ y }_{ 6 }=\frac { 8\times 12500 }{ 10 } =10000\)
Now, x6 = 10, y6 = 10000 and x7 = 20, y7 =?
∵ x6y6 = x7 y7
∴ 10 x 10000 = 20 x y7
\({ y }_{ 7 }=\frac { 10\times 10000 }{ 20 } =5000\)
Thus, the complete table is given below:
| Number of winners | 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 8 | 10 | 20 |
| Prize for each winner(in Rs) | 100000 | 50000 | 25000 | 20000 | 12500 | 10000 | 5000 |
∴ 1 x 100000 = 2 x 50000 = 4 x 25000 = 5 x 20000 = 8 x 12500 = 10 x10000 = 20 x 5000
100000 = 100000 = 100000 = 100000 = 100000 = 100000 = 100000
x1y1 = x2y2 = x3y3 = x4y4=x5y5 =x6y6 =x7y7
Hence, the prize money given to an individual winner is inversely proportional to the number of winners.

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

(a) Number of teachers teaching Chemistry = \(\frac{23}{100}\times\) 1800 = 414
Number of teachers teaching English = \(\frac{27}{100}\times\) 1800 = 496
Number of teachers teaching Biology = \(\frac{12}{100}\times\) 1800 = 216
Total numbers of teachers teaching Chemistry, English and Biology
= 414 + 486 + 216
= 1116
(b) Number of teachers teaching English = 486
Number of teachers teaching Physics = \(\frac{17}{100}\times\) 1800 = 306
Number of teachers teaching Mathematics = \(\frac{13}{100}\times\) 1800 = 234
Number of teachers teaching Biology = 216
\(\therefore\) Difference between the total number of teachers teaching English and Physics together and the total number of teachers who teach Mathematics and Biology together
= ( 486 + 306) - (234 + 216) = 792 - 450 = 342.

Let ABCD is a parallelogram and the obtuse angles of the parallelogram are ㄥA and ㄥC.

Let AM is the altitude drawn from the vertex A on DG and CN is the altitude drawn from the vertex C on AB.
∴ ㄥDAM = 45° and ㄥNCB = 45° [given]
In ΔAMD, we know that, sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
ㄥD + 45° + 90° = 180°
ㄥD =180° - 45° - 90°
=180° -135° = 45°
Similarly, in ΔCNB
ㄥB = 45°
Now, ㄥA + ㄥD =180°
[sum of adjacent angles In a paralleloprarn.is 180°]
∴ ㄥA + 45° = 180° [∵ㄥD = 45°]
⇒ ㄥA =180° - 45° =135°
Also, ㄥA = ㄥC
[∵ opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]
ㄥC =135°

Here, principal (P) = Rs 62500,
time(n) = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)yr = \(\frac{3}{2}\)yr and rate (R) = 8%
For half-yearly,
\(n=\frac{3}{2}\times 2\)= 3yr and R = \(\frac{8}{2}\)% = 4%
∴ Amount (A) =P \((1+\frac{R}{100})^{n}=62500(1+\frac{4}{100})^{3}\)
= 62500\((\frac{100+4}{100})^{3}=62500(\frac{104}{100})^{3}\)
= 62500\(\times \frac{104}{100}\times \frac{104}{100}\times \frac{104}{100}\)
= 104x26x26 = Rs 70304
∴ Compound interest =Amount (A) - Principal (P)
= Rs (70304 - 62500) = Rs 7804

Firstly, we draw a rough sketch of rectangle OKAY, which helps us in deciding steps of construction.

We know that, in a rectangle, opposite sides are equal and parallel and angles between two adjacent sides is 90°.
In rectangle OKAY,
OK = AY = 7 cm, KA = OY = 5 cm
and \(\angle \)OKA=\(\angle \)KOY = 90°
Steps of construction
Steps IDraw OK = 7 cm.
Step IIAt K, draw a ray KX making an \(\angle \)OKX = 90°
Step III Cut KA = 5 cm from ray KX.
Step IV With A as centre and radius 7 cm, draw an arc.
Step V With O as centre and radius 5 cm, draw another arc which intersects the arc drawn in Step IV at Y.
Step VI Join AY and OY.

We have 31944 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
x11x11x11
Since, the prime factors of 31944 do not appear in triples as 3 is left over.
\(\therefore\)31944 is not a perfect cube.
Obviously, 31944 \(\div\) 3 will be a perfect cube
i.e., [31944] \(\div\) 3
= [2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 11 x11] \(\div\) 3
or 10648 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 11 x 11
\(\therefore\) 10648 is a perfect cube.
Thus, the required least number = 3.

Let the present age of granddaughter be x yr.
Then, the present age of grandfather =10x yr
According to the question, 10x = x + 54
\(\Rightarrow\) 10x - x = 54 [transposing x to LHS]
\(\Rightarrow\) 9x = 54 \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac { 54 }{ 9 } \) or x = 6
Present age of granddaughter = x = 6 yr and present age of grandfather = 10x = 10 X 6 = 60 yr Hence, the present age of granddaughter and grandfather are 6 yr and 60 yr.

Let two consective multiples of 10 be x and (x + 1)
10 xx + 10 x (x + 1) = 210 \(\Rightarrow\) 10x + 10x +10 = 210
\(\Rightarrow\) 20x = 210 - 10 = 200 \(\Rightarrow\)x = 200 \(\div\) 20 = 10
So the smaller multiple is 10
