Question 15 Marks
Case-Based Question :
Rita is organising a school fair. She is in charge of budgeting for various stalls. She notes the following expenses :
→ The cost of each food stall is ₹ x.
→ The cost of each game stall is ₹ y.
→ She plans to have 4 food stalls and 3 game stalls.
There is a fixed decoration cost of ₹ 500.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(a) Write an expression for the total cost to organise the school fair.
(b) What does the term 4x represent?
(c) If the cost of each food stall is ₹200 and each game stall is ₹ 150, what will be the total cost?
Answer
(a) Since the cost of each food stall = ₹ x
So, the cost of 4 food stall = 4x
Since, the cost of each game stall = ₹ y
So, the cost of 3 game stall = 3y
And, the fixed decoration cost = ₹ 500
So, expression for the total cost to organise the school fair = 4x + 3y + 500.
(b) The term 4x represents cost of 4 food stalls.
(c) Since the expression for the total cost to organise the school fair is 4x + 3y + 500
So, the total cost when the cost of each food stall is ₹ 200 and each game stall is ₹ 150 is
4 × 200 + 3 × 150 + 500
= 800 + 450 + 500 = ₹ 1750.

MCQ 25 Marks
In the given question, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Choose the correct option as :
(i) Assertion (A) : Every algebraic expression has at least one letter-numbers.
Reason (R) : A letter-number is a symbol used to represent an unknown value in an expression.
(ii) Assertion (A) : If Aditi is x years of age now. 5 years ago her age was 10 years, then her present age is 15 years.
Reason (R) : We can express the given situation in form of expression as, x – 5 = 15.
  • A
    Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • B
    Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is true and the reason is false.
  • D
    Assertion is false and the reason is true.
Answer
(i) (a) Explanation: Every algebraic expression has at least one letter-numbers which is used to represent an unknown value in an expression. Hence, both assertion and reason are true.
(ii) (c) Explanation: Since, Aditi present age is of x. 5 years ago her age was 10 years, then her present age is 15 years. We can express this situation by the expression, x – 5 = 10, so the value of x is 15 years.
Hence, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Question 35 Marks
Subtract the following :
(a) 7a + 8b – c from 5a – b + 3c
(b) 2x – 3y from z – x
(c) 3pq – 2p + q from 4pq + 7p – 2p
(d) 11 xy – 5y + 2x from 15xy + y – x
Answer
(a) (5a – b + 3c) – {la +8b — c)
= 5a-b + 3c-la-8b + c
= 5a-la-b-8b + 3c + c
(Rearranging like terms) = (5 – 7)a + (-1 -8)b + (3 + 1)c
= -2a -9b + 4c.

(b) (z – x) – (2x – 3y) = z – x – 2x + 3y
= z – 3x + 3y

(c) (4pqr + 7p – 2p) – (3pq – 2p + q)
= 4pq + 7p – 2p – 3pq + 2p – q
= 4pq – 3pq + 7p – 2p + 2p – q
= pq + 7p – q

(d) (15xy + y-x) – (11xy — 5y + 2x)
= 15 xy + y – x- 11 xy + 5y – 2x
= 15 xy – 11xy – x – 2x + y + 5y
= 4xy – 3x + 6y

Question 45 Marks
Write expression for the following :
Take Ruhi’s present age to be x years.
(a) What will be her age after 5 years from now?
(b) What was her age 3 years back?
(c) Ruhi’s grandfather is 6 times her age. What is the age of her grandfather?
(d) Grandmother is 2 years younger than grandfather. What is grandmother’s age?
(e) Ruhi’s father’s age is 5 years more than 3 times Ruhi’s age. What is her father’s age?
Answer
(a) Ruhi’s age after 5 years from now = Her present age + 5 years
= x years + 5 years
= (x + 5) years

(b) Ruhi’s age 3 years back = Her present age – 3 years
= x years – 3 years
= (x – 3) years

(c) Grandfather’s age = 6 × Ruhi’s age
= 6 × x years
= 6x years

(d) Grandmother’s age = Grandfather’s age – 2 years = 6x years – 2 years
= (6x – 2) years

(e) Ruhi’s father’s age = 3 × Ruhi’s age + 5 years
= 3 × x years + 5 years
= 3x years + 5 years
= (3x + 5) years

Question 55 Marks
Look at the following and answer the questions :
Image
What is the length of the knife?

Image
What is length of the handle of the screwdriver?

Image
What is perimeter of the notebook?

Image
If there are x apples and y bananas in the baskets. What is the total cost of the fruits altogether?
Answer
(a)The length of the knife = x cm + 4 cm = (x + 4) cm

(b)The length of the handle of the screwdriver
= x cm – 3 cm
= (x – 3) cm

(c)Perimeter of the notebook = 2(length + breadth)
= 2(4x + 2y) units
Area of the notebook = (length × breadth) sq units
= 4x × 2y sq units
= 8xy sq units

(d)Total cost of the fruits = total cost of apples + total cost of bananas
= ₹ 5 × x + ₹ 2 × y
= ₹ 5x + ₹ 2y
= ₹ (5x + 2y)

Answer
(a)In the given figure there are 4 matchsticks. To get the two similar figures we need 8 matchsticks, for three similar figures 12 matchsticks, and so on.
So, the number of matchsticks in «th figure is An.

(b)Similar as part (a).
General term for n number of figures is 5n.

(c)To get the two similar figures, we just need to add 4 more matchsticks and so on.
The general rule is 4n + 2.

(d)To get the two similar figures, we just need to add 5 more matchsticks in the given figure, and so on.
The general rule is 5n + 2.

(e)To get the two similar figures, we just need to add 4 more matchsticks in the given figure, and so on.
The general rule is 4n + 1.
