On transposing the term with sign changed in ‘-‘.

Correct option is  A) 53

Correct option is (A) 53

l = 17+b

\(\Rightarrow\) l - b = 17               _____(1)

perimeter = 2 (l+b) = 178

\(\Rightarrow\) l+b = \(\frac{178}2\) = 89      _____(2)

By adding (1) & (2), we get 2l = 17+89 = 106

\(\Rightarrow\) l = \(\frac{106}2\) = 53 m.

Let the required number be x.Then,

= (2x/3) = x – 20

Transposing x to LHS and it becomes –x.

= (2x/3) – x = -20

= (2x – 3x)/3 = -20

= -x/3 = -20

Multiplying both side by – 3

= (-x/3) × -3 = -20 × -3

= x = 60

∴ The required number is 60

We have,

8x – 7 – 3x = 6x – 2x – 3

5x – 7 = 4x – 3

Transposing – 7 to RHS it becomes 7 and 4x to LHS it becomes -4x.

5x – 4x = 7 – 3

x = 4

Number of sweets with Sekhar = x say. 

Number of sweets given to Renu = 1/4 × x = x/4

Number of sweets given to Raji = 5 

Till he has 7 sweets left.

x – ( x/4 + 5) = 7 

⇒ x – x/4 – 5 = 7 

⇒ x – x/4 = 7 + 5 = 12 

⇒ \(\frac{4x\,-\,x}{4}\) = 12 

⇒ 3x/4 = 12

⇒ x = 12 × 4/3 = 16 

∴ x = 4 × 4 = 16

∴ Number of sweets with Sekhar at the beginning = 16

False.

Given, 3x – 3 = 9

Transposing –3 to RHS it becomes 3

3x = 9 + 3

3x = 12

Correct option is  C) =

Let breadth of the rectangular field bee ‘x’ m 

∴ Its length = 2x 

Its perimeter = 288 

2(1 + b) = 288 

2(2x + x) = 288 

2(3x) = 288 

6x = 288 

x = \(\frac{288}{6}\)= 48 

Its length = 2x = 2 × 48 = 96m 

breadth = x = 48m

Let the required number be x.Then,

= x + (2x/5) = 70

= (5x + 2x)/5 = 70

= (7x/5) = 70

Multiplying both side by (5/7)

= (7x/5) × (5/7) = 70 × (5/7)

= x = 50

The other number is (2x/5)

= (2 × 50)/5

= 100/5

= 20

∴ The required numbers are 50 and 20

Correct option is  C) 1

Correct option is (C) 1

x is only variable in given equation.

Correct option is  B) x – 9/2

Correct option is  A) 4

Correct option is (A) 4

\(\frac{x-4}{7}\) = 7 – 7 = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) x - 4 = 0 \(\times\) 7 = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) x = 0+4 = 4

\(\Rightarrow\) x = 4.

Let the number be x.

According to the given question,

5/2x + 2/3 = 7/12

On transposing 2/3 to R.H.S, we obtain

5/2x = -7/12 -2/3

5/2x = -7-(-2 x 4)/12

5/2x = -15/12

On multiplying both sides by 2/5, we obtain

x = -15/12 x 2/5 = -1/2

Hence, the rational number is -1/2

Let us consider the number as ‘x’

So,

2x – x/2 = 45

(4x-x)/2 = 45

By cross-multiplying we get,

3x = 90

x = 90/3

= 30

∴ The number is 30.

A) transpose

Correct option is  D) 3

Correct option is  C) 4x

Correct option is  B) 15 years

Correct option is (B) 15 years

Let the age of Rani is x years.

Then the age of Rani’s father = 3x+4

\(\therefore\) 3x+4 = 49  \((\because\) Given that the age of Rani’s father is 49 years)

\(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 49 - 4 = 45

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x=\frac{45}3=15.\)

Hence, the age of Rani is 15 years.

3m = 5m - 8/5

Transposing 5m to L.H.S, we obtain

3m - 5m = -8/5

- 2m = -8/5

Dividing both sides by −2, we obtain

m = 4/5

L.H.s = 3m = 3 x 45 = 12/5

R.H.S = 5m - 8/5 = 5 x 4/5 - 8/5 = 12/5

L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, the result obtained above is correct.

Correct option is  D) 13

Correct option is (D) 13

Let the number be x.

\(\therefore\) 2x - 11 = 15

\(\Rightarrow\) 2x = 15 - (-11) = 15+11 = 26

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x=\frac{26}2=13.\)

Correct option is  A) 132

Correct option is (A) 132

Let runs scored by Sehwag be x.

\(\therefore\) Runs scored by Sachin is 2x.

\(\therefore\) According to given condition

(2x+x) + 2 = 200

\(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 200 - 2 = 198

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x=\frac{198}3=66\)

\(\therefore\) Runs scored by Sachin = 2x \(=2\times66\) = 132.

He had rats in his room. He could naturally expect a snake some day. He should have kept with him some antidote for snake poison. But he did not have any.

Correct option is  C) 5

Correct option is (C) 5

Let the number be x.

\(\therefore\) \(\frac52x-7=\frac{11}2\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac52x=\frac{11}2+7=\frac{11+14}2=\frac{25}2\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x=\frac{25}2\times\frac25=5.\)

When the snake was on him, he was sitting like a stone. But when it moved away, he acted like a man. He got up from his chair and went out through the door into the veranda. From there he jumped to the yard and fled for his life.

A full-blooded cobra fell from the roof. It came over the back of the chair and coiled itself on the doctor’s shoulder.

Let the number be x.

According to the given question,

8( x - 5/2 ) = 3x

8x - 20 = 3x

Transposing 3x to L.H.S and −20 to R.H.S, we obtain

8x − 3x = 20

5x = 20

Dividing both sides by 5, we obtain

x = 4

Hence, the number is 4.

Let she thoughts the no x
according to question ,she subtract the 5/2 from the no.= x-5/2
now ,she multiply the result by 8 =8(x-5/2)
according to statement
3x = 8(x-5/2)
3x=8x -20
20=5x
x=4
she thought the no. as 4

A. i) The kind of person the doctor was : He is a poor man. His earnings were meagre. He had, only Rs. 60 with him. He lived in a small rented room. There was no electricity in the room. It was infested with rats. He is concerned with his appearance He is also conscious that he is a doctor. He realizes that he is capable of committing blunders.

ii) The kind of person he wanted to be : He wants to appear more handsome. For that he will keep a thin moustache and keep smiling. He wants to be a successful and rich man.

B. i) The person he wanted to marry : He wants to marry a lady doctor with money and also good practice. He wants her to be fat so that she does not catch up with him if he makes a mistake and wants to run away.

ii) The person he actually married : He marries a thin and slender woman. She could run like a spnter.

C. i) His thoughts when he looked into the mirror : He was proud of his looks. He wanted to appear more handsome, For that he would shave daily and he would grow a thin moustache. He also would keep smiling to add to his glamour.

ii) His thoughts when the snake coiled around him : He was so terrified that he turned into a stone. He thought of God. He felt pain when the snake coiled around his arm. He would be in trouble ¡f the snake bit him. He had no medicine against snake poison. He considers himself as a poor, foolish and stupid doctor.

The story would lose its charm and reality without the mirror because it fascinates both the characters i.e., doctor and the snake. The doctor makes two important decisions – shaving daily and growing thin moustache to making himself more handsome and keeping a smile on the face all the time while looking at himself in the mirror. The snake also feels attracted to look at himself in the mirror and leaves the doctor’s arm. It sits on the table in front of the mirror and the doctor finds an opportunity to move away to save himself. Thus, the story does revolve around the mirror and therefore it is important.

He did not know what to do. He had no time to react. He was terrified and was almost turned into a stone.

The story revolves round the narrator, the snake, and the mirror. The narrator hears some familiar sounds – a dull thud and a snake lands on his shoulder. The doctor is terrified and sits there like a stone. He suddenly feels the presence of the creator of the world and death lurking 4-inches away. He forgets danger and smiles feebly. The snake looks into the mirror, moves towards the mirror and wants to enjoy a close reflection in the mirror. Thus the title is justified as the story revolves around the snake and the mirror.

On a hot summer night, at about ten, I returned to my room after having my meal at a restaurant. I heard a noise from above but ignored as there were many rats in the room. I changed my clothes and sat on the chair in front of a mirror. At that time I heard a dull thud as of a rubber tube fallen on the floor, but I did not think anything to worry about. Then as I s turned, a fat snake wriggled over the back of my chair and landed on my shoulder. I was so frightened that I turned to be a stone image. ? My mind was alert and active.

If I moved or trembled, I would invite death. It coiled around my left arm, spread out its hood and extended its head, hardly three or four inches from my s face. I was just stunned and out of breath, literally waiting with eyes closed, when it would strike me. I could see in the mirror my pale face and felt and the whole body turning cold.

I was making desperate effort not to tremble or shiver a bit if at all I wanted to save my s life. To my good luck, at last after about five minutes, it unwound itself and slithered down my body on to the floor.

In the story the snake did not harm the homeopath. The homeopath in turn did not hurt it. By saying this, Basheer is emphasizing the principle of “Live and Let Live”. Man and animals are supposed to coexist in this world. As man has the right to live, the animals also have the right to live.

It is a known fact that animals do not harm people unless they are provoked and feel threatened. No snake will deliberately come and bite you. But we deliberately kill snakes. A snake will attack only if it feels threatened and its escape route is blocked. If they see people, they will either try to hide or run away. They bite only when people step over them unknowingly or chase them and block their escape route. In that sense man is the only ‘animal’ that kills for pleasure. Animals of prey may kill to satisfy their hunger. But we do it for fun.

Basheer is of the view that we should let animals live their life without interfering with them, unless they prove dangerous to us. Peaceful coexistence is what he insists. It is an interesting story in which the homeopath has fine dreams about his future wife.

The doctor was so engrossed in his day dreaming that he did not realize that a fat snake had wriggled over the back of the chair and landed on his shoulder and coiled around his left arm with its hood spread out. The doctor sat there without moving an inch, he was afraid lest the snake might strike.

He thought of various medicines he had and if any one of them was good enough to save him if the snake struck him. He realized the presence of God and felt that it was a punishment for being proud and arrogant.

(1) All of us did not utter anything / make any noise.

(2) Having my meal at the restaurant, I returned to my room.

(3) My bed was made by me and it was pulled close to the wall.

(4) I adjusted the parting with a view to making it look straight and neat.

(5) I had such thoughts in my mind and I resumed my seat in the chair.

(6) Hardly had I turned when a fat snake wriggled over the back of the chair.

(7) I was quite unaware of everything for – certain.

(c) important

The two important decisions made by the doctor was that he would shave daily and grow a thin moustache, to look more handsome.

The earth-shaking decision made by the doctor was that he would always keep an attractive smile on his face.

(i) The doctor is a poor person. He has hardly any money. He lives in an unelectrified house. It is a small rented room with plenty of rats living in it. He has just started his medical s practice. So he is not a man of possessions or money.

(ii) The person wants to be rich. He also would like to have good appearance. That’s why he decides to grow a thin moustache.

(i) When the doctor first smiles, he has an inflated opinion of himself, admiring his looks and profession.

(ii) In the second instance, the doctor smiles at his foolishness and helplessness. His thoughts change after his encounter with the snake – from being a proud doctor he moves on to accept his stupidity.

(b) Rs 350

Suppose C.P. = Rs x and S.P. = Rs y

\(\Rightarrow\) 7% of y = 8% of x , i.e., 7y = 8x ….......(i)

and 9% of y = 10% of x + 1, i.e.,

9y = 10x + 1 ...........(ii)

From (i) we have y = \(\frac{8X}{7}\). Putting the value of y in (2), we get

9 x \(\frac{8X}{7}\) = 10x+100

\(\Rightarrow\) 72x = 70x + 700

\(\Rightarrow\) 2x = 700

\(\Rightarrow\) x = 350
