iii. r = 4.2 cm, h = 5 cm
iv. r = 5.6 cm, h = 5 cm
Solution:
i. Given: r = 10.5 cm and h = 8 cm
To find: Volume of the cylinder
Volume of the cylinder = πr²h
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 10.5 x 10.5 x 8
= 22 x 1.5 x 10.5 x 8
= 2772 cc
∴ The volume of the cylinder is 2772 cc.

ii. Given: r = 2.5 m and h = 7 m
To find: Volume of the cylinder
Volume of the cylinder = πr²h
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 2.5 x 2.5 x 7
= 22 x 2.5 x 2.5
= 137.5 cu.m
∴ The volume of the cylinder is 137.5 cu.m.

iii. Given: r = 4.2 cm and h = 5 cm
To find: Volume of the cylinder
Volume of the cylinder = πr²h
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 4.2 x 4.2 x 5
= 22 x 0.6 x 4.2 x 5
= 277.2 cc
∴ The volume of the cylinder is 277.2 cc.

iv. Given: r = 5.6 cm and h = 5 cm
To find: Volume of the cylinder
Volume of the cylinder = πr²h
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 5.6 x 5.6 X 5 7

= 492.8 cc
∴ The volume of the cylinder is 492.8 cc.

Question 2.
How much iron is needed to make a rod of length 90 cm and diameter 1.4 cm?
Solution:
Given: For cylindrical rod: length of rod (h) = 90 cm, and
diameter (d) = 1.4 cm
To find: Iron required to make a rod
diameter (d) = 1.4 cm
∴ radius (r) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}=\frac{1.4}{2}\) = 0.7 cm
Volume of rod = πr²h
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 0.7 x 0.7 x 90
= 22 x 0.1 x 0.7 x 90
= 138.60 cc
∴ 138.60 cc of iron is required to make the rod.

Question 3.
How much water will a tank hold if the interior diameter of the tank is 1.6 m and its depth is 0.7 m?
Solution:
Given: interior diameter of the tank (d) = 1.6 m
and depth (h) = 0.7 m
To find: Capacity of the tank
interior diameter of the tank (d) = 1.6 m
∴ Interior radius (r) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}=\frac{1.6}{2}\)
= 0.8 m
= 0.8 x 100
…[∵ 1m = 100cm]
= 80cm
h = 0.7 m = 0.7 x 100 = 70 cm
Capacity of the tank = Volume of the tank = πr²h
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 80 x 80 x 70
= 22 x 80 x 80 x 10
= 1408000 cc
= \(\frac { 1408000 }{ 1000 }\)
…[∵1 litre = 1000 cc]
= 1408 litre
∴The tank can hold 1408 litre of water.

Question 4.

Solution:
Given: Circumference of the base of cylinder = 132 cm and height (h) = 25 cm
To find: Volume of the cylinder
i. Circumference of base of cylinder = 2πr
∴132 = 2 x \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r
∴\(\frac{132 \times 7}{2 \times 22}=r\)
∴\(\frac{6 \times 7}{2}=r\)
∴3 x 7 = r
∴r = 21 cm

ii. Volume of the cylinder = πr²h
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 21 x 21 x 25
= 22 x 3 x 21 x 25
= 34650 cc
∴ The volume of the cylinder is 34650 cc.

i. 176 sq.cm
ii. 394.24 sq. cm
iii. 12474 sq. cm
Solution:
i. Area of the circle =176 sq. cm .. .[Given]
Area of the circle = πr²
∴ 176 = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r²
∴ r² = 176 x \(\frac { 7 }{ 22 }\)
∴ r² = 56
∴ r = √56 … [Taking square root of both sides]
Diameter = 2r = 2√56 CM

ii. Area of the circle = 394.24 sq. cm … [Given]
Area of the circle = πr²

∴ Diameter = 2r = 2 x 11.2 = 22.4 cm

iii. Area of the circle = 12474 sq. cm …[Given]
Area of the circle = πr²
∴ 12474 = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r²

∴ r² = 567 x 7
∴ r² = 3969
∴ r = 63 …[Taking square root of both sides]
∴ Diameter = 2r = 2 x 63 = 126cm

Question 3.
Diameter of the circular garden is 42 m. There is a 3.5 m wide road around the garden. Find the area of the road.

Solution:

Diameter of the circular garden is 42 m. … [Given]
∴ Radius of the circular garden (r) = \(\frac { 42 }{ 2 }\) = 21 m
Width of the road = 3.5 m …[Given]
Radius of the outer circle (R)
= radius (r) + width of the road
= 21 + 3.5
= 24.5 m
Area of the road = area of outer circle – area of circular garden
= πR² – πr²
= π (R² – r²)
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) [(24.5)² – (21)²]
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) (24.5 + 21) (24.5 – 21)
…..[∵ a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)]
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 45.5 x 3.5
= 22 x 45.5 x 0.5
= 500.50 sq. m
∴ The area of the road is 500.50 sq. m.

Practice Set 15.5 8th Std Maths Answers Chapter 15 Area

Question 1.
Find the areas of given plots. (All measures are in meters.)

Solution:
i. Here, ∆QAP, ∆RCS are right angled triangles and ☐QACR is a trapezium.
In ∆QAP, l(AP) = 30 m, l(QA) = 50 m
A(∆QAP)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(AP) x l(QA)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 30 x 50
= 750 sq. m
In ☐QACR, l(QA) = 50 m, l(RC) = 25 m,
l(AC) = l(AB) + l(BC)
= 30 + 30 = 60 m
A(☐QACR)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(QA) + l(RC)] x l(AC)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (50 + 25) x 60
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 75 x 60
= 2250 sq.m
In ∆RCS, l(CS) = 60 m, l(RC) = 25 m A(∆RCS)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(CS) x l(RC)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 60 x 25
= 750 sq. m
In ∆PTS, l(TB) = 30 m,
l(PS) = l(PA) + l(AB) + l(BC) + l(CS)
= 30 + 30 + 30 + 60
= 150m
A(∆PTS) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x base x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(PS) x l(TB)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 150 x 30
= 2250 sq. m
∴ Area of plot QPTSR = A(∆QAP) + A(☐QACR) + A(∆RCS) + A(∆PTS)
= 750 + 2250 + 750 + 2250
= 6000 sq. m
∴ The area of the given plot is 6000 sq.m.

ii. In ∆ABE, m∠BAE = 90°, l(AB) = 24 m, l(BE) = 30 m
∴ [l(BE)]² = [l(AB)]² + [l(AE)]²
…[Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (30)² = (24)² + [l(AE)]²
∴ 900 = 576 + [l(AE)]²
∴ [l(AE)]² = 900 – 576
∴ [l(AE)]² = 324
∴ l(AE) = √324 = 18 m
…[Taking square root of both sides]
A(∆ABE)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(AE) x l(AB)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 18 x 24
= 216 sq. m
In ∆BCE, a = 30m, b = 28m, c = 26m

∴ Area of plot ABCDE
= A(∆ABE) + A(∆BCE) + A(∆EDC)
= 216 + 336 + 224
= 776 sq. m
∴ The area of the given plot is 776 sq.m.
[Note: In the given figure, we have taken l(DF) = 16 m]

= \(\frac { 126 }{ 2 }\)
= 63
Area of a triangle

∴ The area of the triangle is 756 sq.cm.

Question 2.
Look at the measures shown in the given figure and find the area of ☐PQRS.

Solution:
A (☐PQRS) = A(∆PSR) + A(∆PQR)
In ∆PSR, l(PS) = 36 m, l(SR) = 15 m
A(∆PSR)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(SR) x l(PS)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 15 x 36
= 270 sq.m
In ∆PSR, m∠PSR = 90°
[l(PR)]² = [l(PS)]² + [l(SR)]²
…[Pythagoras theorem]
= (36)² + (15)²
= 1296 + 225
∴ l(PR)² = 1521
∴ l(PR) = 39m
…[Taking square root of both sides]
In ∆PQR, a = 56m, b = 25m, c = 39m

A(☐PQRS) = A(∆PSR) + A(∆PQR)
= 270 + 420
= 690 sq. m
∴ The area of ☐PQRS is 690 sq.m

Question 3.
Some measures are given in the figure, find the area of ☐ABCD.

Solution:
A(☐ABCD) = A(∆BAD) + A(∆BDC)
In ∆BAD, m∠BAD = 90°, l(AB) = 40m, l(AD) = 9m
A(∆BAD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(AB) x l(AD)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 40 x 9
= 180 sq. m
In ∆BDC, l(BT) = 13m, l(CD) = 60m
A(∆BDC) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x base x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(CD) x l(BT)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 60 x 13
= 390 sq. m
A (☐ABCD) = A(∆BAD) + A(∆BDC)
= 180 + 390
= 570 sq. m
∴ The area of ☐ABCD is 570 sq.m.

Question 1.
In the given figure, ☐ABCD is a trapezium, side AB || side DC, l(AB) = 13 cm, l(DC) = 9 cm, l(AD) = 8 cm, find the area ☐ABCD.

Solution:
☐ABCD is a trapezium, side AB || side DC,
l(AB) = 13 cm, l(DC) = 9 cm, l(AD) = 8 cm,
Area of a trapezium = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
∴ A (☐ABCD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(AB) + l(DC)] x l(AD)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (13 + 9) x 8
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 22 x 8
= 11 x 8
= 88 sq.cm
∴ The area of ☐ABCD is 88 sq. cm.
[Note: The question is modified.]

Question 2.
Length of the two parallel sides of a trapezium are 8.5 cm and 11.5 cm respectively and its height is 4.2 cm, find its area.
Solution:
Length of the two parallel sides of a trapezium are 8.5 cm and 11.5 cm and its height is 4.2 cm.
Area of a trapezium
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (8.5 + 11.5) x 4.2
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 20 x 4.2
= 10 x 4.2
= 42 sq. cm
∴ The area of the trapezium is 42 sq. cm.

Question 3.
☐PQRS is an isosceles trapezium. l(PQ) = 7 cm, seg PM ⊥ seg SR, l(SM) = 3 cm. Distance between two parallel sides is 4 cm, find the area of ☐PQRS.

Solution:
☐PQRS is an isosceles trapezium.
l(PQ) = 7 cm, seg PM ⊥ seg SR,
l(SM) = 3 cm, l(PM) = 4cm
Draw seg QN ⊥ seg SR.
In ☐PMNQ,
seg PQ || seg MN
∠PMN = ∠QNM = 90°
∴ ☐PMNQ is a rectangle.

Opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent.
∴ l(PM) = l(QN) = 4 cm and
l(PQ) = l(MN) = 7 cm
In ∆PMS, m∠PMS = 90°
∴ [l(PS)]² = [l(PM)]² + [l(SM)]² … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ [l(PS)]² = (4)² + (3)²
∴ [l(PS)]² = 16 + 9 = 25
∴ l(PS) = √25 = 5 cm
…[Taking square root of both sides]
☐PQRS is an isosceles trapezium.
∴ l(PS) = l(QR) = 5 cm
In ∆QNR, m ∠QNR = 90°
∴ [l(QR)]² = [l(QN)]² + [l(NR)]²
… [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (5)² = (4)² + [l(NR)]²
∴ 25 = 16 + [l(NR)]²
∴ [l(NR)]² = 25 – 16 = 9
∴ l(NR) = √9 = 3 cm
…[Taking square root of both sides]
l(SR) = l(SM) + l(MN) + l(NR)
= 3 + 7 + 3
= 13 cm
Area of a trapezium
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
∴ A(☐PQRS) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(PQ) + l(SR)] x l(PM)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (7+ 13) x 4
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 20 x 4
= 40 sq.cm
∴ The area of ☐PQRS is 40 sq. cm.

iii.	4000	7.5	2

Solution:
i. Here P = Rs 2000, R = 5 p.c.p.a. and N = 2 years

= 5 × 441
∴ A = Rs 2205
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 2205 – 2000
= Rs 205
∴ The amount is Rs 2205 and the compound interest is Rs 205.

ii. Here, P = Rs 5000, R = 8 p.c.p.a. and N = 3 years

∴ A = Rs 6298.56
I = Amount (A) – Principal (P)
= 6298.56 – 5000
= Rs 1298.56
∴ The amount is Rs 6298.56 and the compound interest is Rs 1298.56.

iii. Here, P = Rs 4000, R = 7.5 p.c.p.a. and N = 2 years

∴A = Rs 4622.50

Equation In One Variable Practice Set 12.2 Question 1.
Mother is 25 years older than her son. Find son’s age, if after 8 years ratio of son’s age to mother’s age will be \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\).
Solution:
Let the son’s present age be x years.
∴ Mother’s present age = (x + 25) years
After 8 years,
Son’s age = (x + 8) years
Mother’s age = (x + 25 + 8) = (x + 33) years
Since, the ratio of the son’s age to mother’s age after 8 years is \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\).
∴ \(\frac{x+8}{x+33}=\frac{4}{9}\)
∴ 9 (x + 8) = 4 (x + 33)
∴ 9x + 72 = 4x + 132
∴ 9x – 4x = 132 – 72
∴ 5x = 60
∴ x = \(\frac { 60 }{ 5 }\)
∴ x = 12
∴ Son’s present age is 12 years.

The denominator of a fraction is greater than its numerator by 12. If the numerator is decreased by 2 and the denominator is increased by 7, the new fraction is equivalent to \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) . Find the fraction.
Solution:
Let the numerator of the fraction be x.
The denominator of a fraction is greater than its numerator by 12.
∴ Denominator of the fraction = (x + 12)
∴ The required fraction = \(\frac { x }{ x+12 }\)
For the new fraction,
numerator is decreased by 2.
∴ The new numerator = (x – 2)
Also, denominator is increased by 7.
∴ The new denominator = (x + 12) + 7
= (x + 19)
Since, the new fraction is equivalent to \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\).
∴ \(\frac{x-2}{x+19}=\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ 2(x – 2) = 1(x + 19)
∴ 2x – 4 = x + 19
∴ 2x – x = 19 + 4
∴ x = 23
∴ The required fraction = \(\frac{x}{x+12}=\frac{23}{23+12}=\frac{23}{35}\)
∴ The required fraction is \(\frac { 23 }{ 35 }\)

Practice Set 12.2 Class 8 Question 3.
The ratio of the weights of copper and zinc in brass is 13:7. Find the weight of zinc in a brass utensil weighing 700 gm.
Solution:
Let the weight of zinc in the brass utensil be x gm.
Since, the ratio of the weights of copper to zinc in brass is 13:7.

∴ Weight of copper in the brass utensil = \(\left(\frac{13}{7} x\right)\) gm
The weight of the brass utensil = 700 gm
∴ \(\frac { 13 }{ 7 }x+x=700\)
∴ \(\frac { 13 }{ 7 }x\) x × 7 + x × 7 = 700 × 7
∴ 13x + 7x = 4900
∴ 20x = 4900
∴ \(x=\frac { 4900 }{ 20 }\)
∴ x = 245
∴ The weight of zinc in the brass utensil is 245 gm.

Practice Set 12.2 8th Class Question 4.
Find three consecutive whole numbers whose sum is more than 45 but less than 54.
Solution:
Let the three consecutive whole numbers be (x – 1), x and (x + 1).
∴ Sum of the three numbers
= (x – 1) + x + (x + 1)
= 3x
Given that, the sum of the three numbers is greater than 45 and less than 54.
When the sum of the three numbers is 45,
3x = 45
∴ x = \(\frac { 45 }{ 3 }\)
∴ x = 15
When the sum of the three numbers is 54,
∴ 3x = 54
∴ x = \(\frac { 54 }{ 3 }\)
∴ x = 18
∴ the value of x is greater than 15 and less than 18.
∴ the value of x is either 16 or 17

Case I:
If the value of x is 16, then the three consecutive whole numbers are
(16 – 1), 16,(16 + 1)i.e., 15, 16, 17

Case II:
If the value of x is 17, then the three consecutive whole numbers are (17 – 1), 17, (17 + 1) i.e., 16, 17, 18.
∴ The three consecutive whole numbers are 15, 16, 17 or 16, 17, 18.

Practice Set 12.2 8th Standard Question 5.
In a two-digit number, digit at the ten’s place is twice the digit at unit’s place. If the number obtained by interchanging the digits is added to the original number, the sum is 66. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the digit at unit’s place be x.
The digit at the ten’s place is twice the digit at unit’s place.
∴ The digit at ten’s place = 2x

	Digit in units place	Digit in tens place	Number
Original Number	x	2x	(2x × 10) + x = 20x + x = 21x
New Number	2x	x	(x × 10) + 2x = 10x + 2x = 12x

Since, the sum of the original number and the new number is 66.
∴ 21x + 12x = 66
∴ 33x = 66
∴ x = \(\frac { 66 }{ 33 }\)
∴ x = 2
∴ Original number = 21x = 21 × 2 = 42
∴ the original number is 42.

8th Standard Maths Practice Set 12.2 Question 6.
Some tickets of Rs 200 and some of Rs 100, of a drama in a theatre were sold. The number of tickets of Rs 200 sold was 20 more than the number of tickets of Rs 100. The total amount received by the theatre by sale of tickets was Rs 37000. Find the number of Rs 100 tickets sold.
Solution:
Let the number of tickets sold of Rs 100 be x.
The number of tickets of Rs 200 sold was 20 more than the number of tickets of Rs 100.
∴ Number of tickets sold of Rs 200 = (x + 20)
∴ Total amount received by the theatre through the sale of tickets = 100 × x + 200 × (x + 20)
= 100x + 200x + 4000
= 300x + 4000
Since, the total amount received by the theatre through the sale of tickets = Rs 37000
∴ 300x + 4000 = 37000
∴ 300x = 37000 – 4000
∴ 300x = 33000
∴ \(x=\frac { 33000 }{ 300 }\)
∴ x = 110
∴ 110 tickets of Rs 100 were sold.

8th Maths Practice Set 12.2 Question 7.
Of the three consecutive natural numbers, five times the smallest number is 9 more than four times the greatest number, find the numbers.
Solution:
Let the three consecutive natural numbers be (x – 1), x and (x + 1).
Here, the smallest number is (x – 1) and the greatest number is (x + 1).
Since, five times the smallest number is 9 more than four times the greatest number.
∴ 5 × (x – 1) = [4 × (x + 1)] + 9
∴ 5x – 5 = 4x + 4 + 9
∴ 5x – 5 = 4x + 13
∴ 5x – 4x = 13 + 5
∴ x = 18 .
∴ the three numbers are (18 – 1), 18, (18 + 1)
i. e., 17, 18, 19
∴ The three consecutive natural numbers are 17,18 and 19.

Raju Sold A Bicycle to Amit at 8 Question 8.
Raju sold a bicycle to Amit at 8% profit. Amit repaired it spending Rs 54. Then he sold the bicycle to Nikhil for Rs 1134 with no loss and no profit. Find the cost price of the bicycle for which Raju purchased it.
Solution:
Let the cost price at which Raju purchased the bicycle be Rs x.
Since, Raju sold the bicycle at 8% profit to Amit.
∴ Selling price of bicycle for Raju = x + 8% of x

Since, Amit spent Rs 54 on repairing the bicycle and then sold it to Nikhil for Rs 1134, at no loss and no profit.
∴ Selling price of bicycle + repairing cost = Rs 1134

∴ The cost price of the bicycle at which Raju purchased it is Rs 1000.

Class 8 Maths Practice Set 12.2 Question 9.
A cricket player scored 180 runs in the first match and 257 runs in the second match. Find the number of runs he should score in the third match so that the average of runs in the three matches be 230.
Solution:
Let the number of runs required by the cricket player to score in the third match be x.
Number of runs scored by the player in first match = 180
Number of runs scored in second match = 257
∴ Total runs scored by the player = 180 + 257 + x = 437 + x
Average of runs in the three matches = \(\frac { 437+x }{ 3 }\)
Since, the average of runs should be 230.
\(\frac { 437+x }{ 3 }=230\)
∴ 437 + x = 230 × 3
∴ 437 + x = 690
∴ x = 690 – 437
∴ x = 253
∴ The cricket player should score 253 runs in the third match.

8th Class Math Practice Set 12.2 Question 10.
Sudhir’s present age is 5 more than three times the age of Viru. Anil’s age is half the age of Sudhir. If the ratio of the sum of Sudhir’s and Viru’s age to three times Anil’s age is 5:6, then find Viru’s age.
Solution:
Let Viru’s present age be x years.
Sudhir’s present age is 5 more than three times the age of Viru.
∴ Sudhir’s present age = (3x + 5) years
Anil’s age is half the age of Sudhir.
∴ Anil’s present age = \(\left(\frac{3 x+5}{2}\right)\) years
Since, the ratio of the sum of Sudhir’s and Viru’s age to three times Anil’s age is 5:6.

∴ 2 × (24x + 30) = 45x + 75
∴ 48x + 60 = 45x + 75
∴ 48x – 45x = 75 – 60
∴ 3x = 15
∴ x = \(\frac { 15 }{ 3 }\)
∴ x = 5
∴ Viru’s present age is 5 years.

… [Dividing both the sides by 4]
∴x = 6
