(i) Let the fraction be x/y
Given, (x+1)/(y-1) = 1
x+1 = y-1
x - y = -2 (1)
Also, x/(y+1) = 1/2
2x = y+1
2x - y = 1 (2)
Subtracting (1) from (2)
x = 3
Substituting value of x in (2), 6 - y = 1
y = 5
Hence, the fraction is 3/5
(ii) Let the age of Nuri be x and that of Sonu be y.
Given, (x-5) = 3(y-5)
3y - x = 10. (1)
And, (x+10) = 2(y+10)
2y - x = -10 (2)
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
y = 20
Substituting value of y in (1)
60 - x = 10
x = 50
Hence, the ages of Nuri and Sonu are 50 and 20 respectively
(iii) Let the two digit number be 10x+y
Given, x+y = 9 (1)
And, 9(10x+y) = 2(10y+x)
90x + 9y = 20y + 2x
88x - 11y = 0 (2)
Multiplying (1) by 11, we get
11x + 11y = 99 (3)
Adding (1) and (3)
99x = 99
x = 1
Substituting this value of x in (1), 1+y = 9
y = 8
Hence, the number is 18
(iv) Let the number of Rs 100 notes be x and the number of Rs 50 notes be y.
Given, x+y = 25.. (1)
And, 100x + 50y = 2000.. (2)
Multiplying (1) by 50, we get
50x + 50y = 1250 (3)
Subtracting (3) from (2),
50x = 750
x = 15
Substituting value of x in (1),
15 + y = 25
y = 10
(v) Let the fixed charge for first 3 days be Rs x and after 3 days the charge for each day be Rs y.
Given, x + 4y = 27 (1) [first 3 days + 4 days]
And, x + 2y = 21.. (2) [first 3 days + 2 days]
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
2y = 6
y = 3
Substituting value of y in (1)
x + 4 × 3 = 27
x + 12 = 27
x = 15
Hence, the fixed charge is Rs 15 and the per day charge is Rs 3.
