Mother I am eagerly waiting for them. Let’s go shopping right now.Shubhi and her mother visit the nearby jewellery shop. Shubhi: Mother, what do you mean by 24 ct Gold?Mother: Gold is alloyed because in it's purest form, it's too soft for making jewellery. It can easily be bent with bare hands, or get scratched or marred. An alloy is any mix of metal with other metals, used to give the material certain desired properties, like: increased hardness, variations incolor, lower melting points, higher melting points, or even lower price.Gold purity content is categorized using the carat system. Depending on the ratio of pure gold to other alloys, the gold used in rings and other jewellery is usually categorized as 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k and 24k.We use K or ct or sometimes kt for carat.The higher the carat, the purer the gold. 24k gold is also called pure gold or 100 per cent gold. This means that all 24 parts in this type of gold are all pure without traces of any other metals. 22K gold means there are 22 parts of gold and 2 parts of other metals.Question 17: Shubhi draws a table to calculate the purity of different types of gold, choose the correct values of x and y:CaratParts of goldPurity in %24 k24/2499.9%22k22/24X18 ky/2475a) x= 99.9 %and y = 20b) x= 95% and y = 20c) x = 91.7% and y=18d) x= 86% and y= 18Question 18: The cost of 5 gm of gold earring was Rs.22,000/-.
