Q1

Anima left one-half of her property to her daughter, one-third to her son and donated the rest to an educational institute. If the donation was worth Rs. 1,00,000. Based on the above situation, answer the following questions:

(i) Write the linear equation formed in the above situation.

(ii) How much money did Anima have?

(OR)

How much money educational institute have?

(iii) How much money did Anima‘s son and daughter have?

Sol 1

Solution:

Anima left:

One-half of her property to her daughter

One-third of her property to her son

The remaining amount was donated to an educational institute, valued at Rs. 100,000.

(i) Write the linear equation formed in the above situation:

Let 𝑃 denote the total amount of money (in Rs.) that Anima had.

The equation based on the distribution is: 12𝑃 + 13 𝑃 + 100,000 = P

This equation represents the total amount of money Anima had, considering she divided her property between her daughter, son, and the donation.

(ii) How much money did Anima have?

To find out how much money Anima had, solve the equation: 12𝑃 + 13 𝑃 + 100,000 = P

36𝑃 + 26 𝑃 + 100,000 = P

56 𝑃 + 100,000 = P

Subtract 56 𝑃 from both sides to isolate terms with P on one side:

100,000 = P − 56P

100,000 = 16P

P = Rs. 600,000

(iii) Now that we know the total amount Anima had, let's calculate how much her son and daughter received:

Amount left for distribution after donation:

Amount left = P − 100,000 = 600,000 − 100,000 = Rs. 500,000

Amount for daughter = 12 × 500,000 = Rs. 250,000

Amount for son = 13 × 500,000 = Rs. 166,666.67

Q2

A home-owner is installing a fence around the square garden. The garden has a perimeter of 7840 cm. Write and solve the equation to find the garden‘s dimensions.

(a) Find out the side of garden.

(b) Why garden is important for us?

Sol 2

(a) The perimeter P of a square with side length s is given by:

P = 4s

We are given the perimeter of the garden as 7840 cm. So we can write the equation:

4s = 7840

Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to find the side length s:

s = 78404 = 1960 cm

So, the side length of the garden is 1960 cm.

(b) Overall, gardens contribute to the environment, support biodiversity, enhance physical and mental health, provide fresh produce, and offer aesthetic and recreational benefits.
