Question 79:
Bachhu Manjhi earns Rs. 24000 in 8 months. At this rate,
(a) how much does he earn in one year?
(b) in how many months does he earn Rs. 42000
Solution:
Given,
(a) Earning of Bachhu Manjhi in 8 months = Rs. 24000
Earning of Bachhu Manjhi in 1 month = = Rs. 3000
He will earn in 1 yr (12 months) = Rs. 3000 x 12 = Rs. 36000
(b) Bachhu Manjhi earns Rs. 3000 = 1 month
He earn Rs. 1 =1/3000 month
He will earn Rs. 42000 = (1/3000) x 42000
= 14 months

Question 80:
The yield of wheat from 8 hec of land is 360 quintals. Find the number of hectares of land required for a yield of 540 quintals.
Solution:
∴360 quintals, wheat is yielded by = 8 hec
∴ 1 quintal wheat is yielded by = 8/360 hec
∴540 quintals wheat will be yielded by = (8/360) x 540
=12 hec
Hence, 540 quintals will be yielded by 12 hec.

Question 81:
The earth rotates 360° about its axis in about 24 h. By how much degree will it rotate in 2 h?
Solution:
∴ Earth rotates in 24 h = 360°
∴ Earth rotates in 1 h = 360°/24
∴ Earth will rotate in 2 h = (360°/24) x 2 = 30°
Hence, Earth will rotate by 30° in 2 h.

Question 82:
Shivangi is suffering from anaemia as haemoglobin level in her blood is lower than the normal range. Doctor advised her to take one iron tablet two times in a day. If the cost of 10 tablets is Rs. 17, then what amount will she be required to pay for her medical bill for 15 days?
Solution:
Shivangi has to take iron tablets two times in a day.
Number of iron tablets she has to take in one day = 2 .Total iron tablets for 15 days =15 x 2
= 30 tablets
∴ Cost of 10 tablets = Rs. 17
∴ Cost of 1 tablet = Rs. 17/10
∴ Cost of 30 tablets = (Rs. 17/10) x 30
= Rs. 51
Hence, she has to pay Rs. 51 for her medical bill.

Question 83:
The quarterly school fee in Kendriya Vidyalaya for Class VI is Rs. 540. What will be the fee for seven months?
Solution:
Quarterly means = 3 months
∴ The fee for 3 months = Rs. 540
∴ The fee for 1 month = Rs. 540/3
∴ The fee for 7 months = (Rs.540/3) x 7
= Rs. 1260
Hence, fee for seven months is Rs. 1260.

Question 84:
In an election, the votes cast for two of the candidates were in the ratio 5:7. If the successful candidates received 20734 votes, how many votes did his opponents receive?
Solution:
Given, ratio of votes for two candidates = 5:7
Let the votes are 5x and 7x.
For successful candidates votes are greater.
Hence, 7x = 20734 => x= 2962
Number of votes of his opponent = 5x
= 5 x 2962 =14810

Question 85:
A metal pipe 3 m long was found to weight 7.6 kg. What would be the weight of the same kind of 7.8 m long pipe?
Solution:
Weight of 3 m long pipe = 7.6 kg
Weight of 1 m long pipe = 7.6/3 kg
∴ Weight of 7.8 m long pipe = (7.6/3) x 7.8 = 19.76 kg
Hence, the weight of 7.8 m long pipe is 19.76 kg.

Question 86:
A recipe for raspberry jelly calls for 5 cups of raspberry juice and 2 ½ cups of sugar. Find the amount of sugar needed for 6 cups of the juice.
Solution:
For a recipe of raspberry jelly.
If 5 cups of raspberry juice, then sugar needed =2 ½ cups
= 5/2 cups
If 1 cup of raspberry juice, then sugar needed = (5/2) x (1/5) cups
If 6 cups of raspberry, then sugar needed =(5/2) x (1/2) x 6=3 cups. Hence, 3 cups of sugar needed for 6 cups of the juice.

Question 87:
A farmer planted 1890 tomato plants in a field in rows each having 63 plants. A certain type of worm destroyed 18 plants in each row. How many plants did the worm destroy in the whole field?
Solution:
Farmer planted total plants = 1890
Plants in each row = 63
Number of rows = 1890/63 = 30
Worm destroys plants in 1 row =18
∴ Worm destroys plants in 30 rows = 18x 30
= 540
Hence, the worm destroyed 540 plants in the whole field
