Exercise 11.4

1. Answer the following:

(a) Take Sarita’s present age to be $y$ years.

(i) What will be her age 5 years from now?

Ans: Given, the present age of Sarita is $y$ years.

\[{\text{After }}5{\text{ years Sarita's age  =  Sarita's present age  +  }}5\]

\[{\text{After }}5{\text{ years Sarita's age  =  }}\left( {y{\text{ + }}5} \right){\text{ years}}\]

 

(ii) What was her age 3 years back?

Ans: Given, the present age of Sarita is $y$ years.

\[3{\text{ years back Sarita's age  =  Sarita's present age }} - 3\]

\[3{\text{ years back Sarita's age  =  }}\left( {y - 3} \right){\text{ years}}\]

 

(iii) Sarita’s grandfather is 6 times her age. What is the age of her grandfather?

Ans: Given, the present age of Sarita is $y$ years and her grandfather’s age is 6 times her age.

 

(iv) Grandmother is 2 years younger than grandfather. What is grandmother’s age?

Ans: Obtained age of Sarita’s grandfather is \[6y\] years.

Given, her grandmother is 2 years younger than her grandfather.

 

(v) Sarita’s father’s age is 5 years more than 3 times Sarita’s age. What is her father’s age?

Ans: Given, the present age of Sarita is $y$ years.

$3\;{\text{times of her present age  =  Her present age}} \times 3$

$3\;{\text{times of her present age  =  }}y \times 3$

$3\;{\text{times of her present age  =  }}3y$

It is also given that her father’s age is 5 years more than 3 times her age.

${\text{Her father's age  =  }}3{\text{ times of her present age}} + 5$

${\text{Her father's age  = }}\left( {3y + 5} \right){\text{ years}}$

 

(b) The length of a rectangular hall is 4 meters less than 3 times the breadth of the hall. What is the length, if the breadth is $b$ meters?

Ans: Given, the breadth of the hall is $b$ meters.

$3\;{\text{times of breadth of the hall  =  Breadth of the hall}} \times 3$

$3\;{\text{times of breadth of the hall  =  }}b \times 3$

$3\;{\text{times of breadth of the hall  =  }}3b$

It is also given that the length of the hall is 4 meters less than three times the breadth of the hall.

Therefore,

${\text{Length of the hall  =  }}3{\text{ times breadth of the hall}} - 4$

${\text{Length of the hall  = }}\left( {3b - 4} \right){\text{ meters}}$

 

(c) A rectangular box has height $h$ cm. Its length is 5 times the height and breadth is 10 cm less than the length. Express the length and the breadth of the box in terms of the height.

Ans: Given, height of the box is $h$cm and length of the box is 5 times of the height.

Therefore,

${\text{Length of the box  =  Height of the box}} \times 5$

${\text{Length of the box  =  }}h \times 5$

${\text{Length of the box  =  }}\left( {5h} \right){\text{ cm}}$

Also it is given that the breadth of the box is 10 cm less than the length of the box. 

Hence,

${\text{Breadth of the box  =  Length of the box}} - 10$

${\text{Breadth of the box  =  }}\left( {5h - 10} \right){\text{ cm}}$

 

(d) Meena, Beena and Leena are climbing the steps to the hilltop. Meena is at step $s$, Beena is 8 steps ahead and Leena 7 steps behind. Where are Beena and Leena? The total number of steps to the hill top is 10 less than 4 times what Meena has reached. Express the total number of steps using $s$.

Ans: Given, Meena is at $s$ step and Beena is 8 steps behind her.

Hence, 

\[{\text{Step at which Beena is  = }}\left( {{\text{step at which Meena is}}} \right) + 8\]

\[{\text{Step at which Beena is }} = s + 8\]

It is also given that Leena is 7 steps behind Meena.

\[{\text{Step at which Leena is  = }}\left( {{\text{step at which Meena is}}} \right) - 7\]

\[{\text{Step at which Leena is }} = s - 7\]

The total number of steps is also given by 10, less than 4 times what Meena has reached.

Therefore,

${\text{Total number of steps}} = 4{\text{ times of }}\left( {{\text{the step where Meena is}}} \right) - 10$

${\text{Total number of steps}} = 4 \times \left( {{\text{the step where Meena is}}} \right) - 10$

${\text{Total number of steps}} = 4 \times {\text{s}} - 10$

${\text{Total number of steps}} = 4{\text{s}} - 10$

 

(e) A bus travels at $v$ km per hour. It is going from Daspur to Beespur. After the bus has travelled 5 hours, Beespur is still 20 km away. What is the distance from Daspur to Beespur? Express it using $v$.

Ans: The distance $d$ is given by $d = s \times t$, where $s$ is the speed and $t$ is the time.

Given, the speed of the bus is $v$ km per hour and the travel time of the bus is 5 hours.

Therefore, $s = v$ and $t = 5$.

Hence, the distance travelled by the bus in 5 hours is as follows.

$d = v \times 5$

$d = 5v{\text{ km}}$

Since, Beespur is still 20 km away, the distance of Beespur is as follows,

${\text{Distance of Beespur from Daspur  =  }}d + 20$

${\text{Distance of Beespur from Daspur  =  }}\left( {5v + 20} \right){\text{ km}}$.

 

2. Change the following statements using expressions into statements in ordinary language.

(For example, Given Salim scores $r$ runs in a cricket match, Nalin scores $\left( {r + 15} \right)$ runs. In ordinary language – Nalin scores 15 runs more than Salim.)

(a) A notebook costs ₹ $p$. A book costs ₹ \[3p\]

Ans: Given, the cost of a notebook is ₹ $p$ where the cost of a book is ₹ $3p$.

Therefore,

${\text{The cost of book  =  }}3p$

${\text{The cost of book }} = {\text{ }}3 \times p$

${\text{The cost of book  =  }}3{\text{ times }}p$

${\text{The cost of book  =  }}3{\text{ times cost of notebook}}$

Hence, the cost of a book is 3 times the cost of a notebook.

 

(b) Tony put $q$ marbles on the table. He has $8q$ marbles in his box.

Ans: Given, the number of marbles on the table is $q$and the number of marbles in the box is $8q$.

Therefore,

${\text{The number of marbles in the box }} = 8q$

${\text{The number of marbles in the box }} = 8 \times q$

${\text{The number of marbles in the box }} = 8{\text{ times }}q$

${\text{The number of marbles in the box }} = 8{\text{ times the number of marbles on the table}}$

Hence, the box contains 8 times the number of marbles on the table.

 

(c) Our class has $n$ students. The school has $20n$ students.

Ans: Given, the number of students in the class is $n$ whereas the number of students in the school is $20n$.

${\text{The number of students in the school}} = 20n$

${\text{The number of students in the school}} = 20 \times n$

${\text{The number of students in the school}} = 20{\text{ times }}n$

${\text{The number of students in the school}} = 20{\text{ times the number of students in the school}}$

Hence, the total number of students in the school is 20 times that of the number of students in our class.

 

(d) Jaggu is $z$ years old. His uncle is $4z$ years old and his aunt is $\left( {4z - 3} \right)$ years old.

Ans: Given, the age of Jaggu is $z$ years and his uncle is $4z$ years old.

${\text{His uncle's age }} = 4z$

${\text{His uncle's age }} = 4 \times z$

${\text{His uncle's age }} = 4{\text{ times }}z$

${\text{His uncle's age }} = 4{\text{ times Jaggu's age}}$

Hence, Jaggu’s uncle is 4 times older than him.

Given the age of his aunt is $\left( {4z - 3} \right)$years.

${\text{His aunt's age }} = 4z - 3$

${\text{His aunt's age }} = {\text{His uncle's age}} - 3$

Therefore, Jaggu’s aunt is 3 years younger than his uncle.

 

(e) In an arrangement of dots there are $r$ rows. Each row contains 5 dots

Ans: Given the number of rows are $r$ and each row contains 5 dots.

Therefore, 

\[{\text{The total number of dots  =  5 }} \times {\text{ the number of rows}}\]

\[{\text{The total number of dots  =  5 times the number of rows}}\]

Hence, the total number of dots in the arrangement is 5 times the number of rows.

 

3. (a) Given Munnu’s age to be $x$ years, can you guess what $\left( {x - 2} \right)$ may show?

Can you guess what $\left( {x + 4} \right)$ may show? What $\left( {3x + 7} \right)$ may show?

Ans: Given, the age of Munnu is $x$ years.

Therefore, $\left( {x - 2} \right)$ represents 2 years less than $x$.

Hence, \[\left( {x--2} \right)\] represents a person who is 2 years younger to Munnu.

Therefore, $\left( {x + 4} \right)$ represents 4 years greater than $x$.

Hence, $\left( {x + 4} \right)$ represents a person who is 4 years older than Munnu.

Therefore, $\left( {3x + 7} \right)$ represents 7 years greater than $3x$.

Since $3x = 3{\text{ times }}x$

Hence, $\left( {3x + 7} \right)$ represents 7 years greater than 3 times $x$ and consequently $\left( {3x + 7} \right)$represents the person whose age is 7 years more than the 3 times of the age of Munnu.

 

(b) Given Sara’s age today to be $y$ years. Think of her age in the future or in the past.

What will the following expression indicate? \[\left( {y + 7} \right),{\text{ }}\left( {y--3} \right),{\text{ }}y + 4\dfrac{1}{2},{\text{ }}y - 2\dfrac{1}{2}\]

Ans: Given, the age of Sara is $y$ years.

Therefore, \[\left( {y + 7} \right)\] represents 7 years greater than $y$.

Hence, \[\left( {y + 7} \right)\] represents a person who is 7 years older than Sara.

Therefore, \[\left( {y--3} \right)\] represents 3 years less than $y$.

Hence, \[\left( {y--3} \right)\] represents the person who is 3 years younger to Sara.

Therefore, \[y + 4\dfrac{1}{2}\] represents \[4\dfrac{1}{2}\] years greater than $y$.

Hence, \[y + 4\dfrac{1}{2}\] represents the person who is \[4\dfrac{1}{2}\] years older than Sara.

Therefore, \[y - 2\dfrac{1}{2}\] represents \[2\dfrac{1}{2}\] years less than $y$.

Hence, \[y - 2\dfrac{1}{2}\] represents the person who is \[2\dfrac{1}{2}\] years younger to Sara.

 

(c) Given $n$ students in the class like football, what may $2n$ show? What may $\dfrac{n}{2}$ show?

Ans: Suppose, swimming is another game which is liked by $2n$students.

Given, the number of students in the class who likes football is $n$.

Since $2n = 2{\text{ times }}n$

$2n = 2{\text{ times of the number of students who like football}}$

Therefore, the number of students who like swimming is twice the number of students who like football.

Suppose tennis is another game which is liked by $\dfrac{n}{2}$students.

Since $\dfrac{n}{2} = {\text{ half of }}n$,

$\dfrac{n}{2} = {\text{ half of the number of students who like football}}$

Therefore, the number of students who like tennis is half the number of students who like football.
