(a) Given, speed of a cycle = 15 km/h
and speed of scooter = 30 km/h
∴ Ratio of the speed of a cycle to the speed of the
scooter = \(\frac{15 km/h}{30 km/h}=\frac{15}{30}=\frac{1}{2}\)or 1:2
(b) We know that, 1 km = 1000 m
∴ Ratto of 5m to 10 km = \(\frac{5m}{10 km}=\frac{5 m}{10\times 1000m}\)|
\(=\frac{5}{10\times1000}=\frac{1}{2000}\)
or 1 : 2000
(c) We know that, Rs 1 = 100 paise
∴ Ratio of 50 paise to Rs 5 = \(\frac{50 paise}{Rs 5}\)
\(\frac{50 paise}{5\times 100 paise}=\frac{50}{5\times100}\)
\(=\frac{5}{5\times10}=\frac{1}{10}\) or 1:10

∵ \(\frac{7}{3}\)% of the number = 147
⇒ \(\frac{7}{300}\)xNumber = 147

Here, principal (P) = Rs 10500,
Reduction (R) = - 5% and time (n) = 1yr [depreciation means reduction]
∴ Reduced the value after one year = P\((1-\frac{R}{100})^{n}\)
= 10500\((1-\frac{5}{100})^{1}\)
= 10500\((\frac{100-5}{100})\)
= 10500x\(\frac{95}{100}\)
= 105x95
= Rs 9975
Hence, the value of a machinery after one year will be Rs 9975.
10.
Let the marked price of a pair of skates be Rs 100,
Discount per cent on a pair of skates = 20%
∴ Discount amount on a pair of skates
= 20% of marked price
= 20% oH 100 = Rs \((\frac{20}{100}\times100)\) = Rs 20
∴ Selling price of a pair of skates = Rs 100 - Rs 20
= Rs (100 - 20) = Rs 80
If selling price is Rs 80, then marked price = Rs 100
If selling price is Rs 1, then marked price =Rs \(\frac{100}{80}\)
If selling price is Rs 1600, then marked price
=Rs \((\frac{100}{80}\times 1600)\) = Rs(100x20) = Rs 2000
Hence, the marked price of a pair of skates is Rs 2000.
11.
Given, cost of one bar of soap = Rs 35
∴ Cost of two bars of soap = Rs (35 x 2) =Rs 70
Also, sale tax = 5%
Now, sale tax charged = 5% of cost of two bars of soap
= 5% of Rs 70
= Rs \((\frac{5}{100}\times 70)=\) Rs \(\frac{350}{100}\) = Rs 3.50
∴ Buyingprice of two bars of soap = Cost of two bars of soap + Sale tax
= Rs (70 + 350) = Rs 73.50
Hence, the buying price of two bars of soap is Rs 73.50.
12.
(i) Round off the bill to nearest tens of Rs 577.80 i. e. Rs 580.
(ii) To find 15% of this, we get 10% of the bill i.e. \(\frac{10}{100}\times 580\)= Rs 58
(iii) Take half of this i.e .\(\frac{1}{2}\times 58=29\)
(iv) Add the amounts of (ii) and (iii), we get 58 + 29 = Rs 87
Thus, our bill amount is reduced by Rs 87 and we have to pay Rs 493 or Rs 495 approximately.
