2) 15 : 13
3) 13 : 15

5) 144 : 155

Answers:

1. 4

2. 5; Area = length × breadth

3. 4

4. 5
Let the age of son be x
father’s age = 2x
x + 2x = 60
x = 20, and 2x = 40

5. 1; 
No. of students = 300/12 = 25
‘II’ is not required.

6. 2
Average population of the state B = (3.2 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 3.8 + 4.1 + 4.4)/6 lakh
= 22.5/6 lakh
= 3.75 lakh

7. 4
Required percentage increase = (4.8 - 4.5)/4.5 * 100 = 6 2/3%

8. 1
Required difference
= [(5.4 – 5.2) + (3.8 – 3.4) + (6.3 – 5.8) ] lakh
= 1.1 lakh = 110000

9. 3
Average population of three states in 2009
= {(5.8 + 4.1 + 6.6)/3} lakh = 16.5/3 lakh = 5.5 lakh

10. 5
Required ratio = (5.2 + 3.4 + 5.8) : (5.4 + 3.8 + 6.3)
= 14.4 : 15.5 = 144 : 155
