Question 14 Marks
Rakesh’s age is less than Sania’s age by 5 years. The sum of their ages is 27 years. How old are they ?
Answer
Let the age of Rakesh be x years.
∴ Sania’s age = (x + 5) years.
According to the given condition,
x + (x + 5) = 27
∴ 2x + 5 = 27
∴ 2x = 27 – 5
∴ 2x = 22
\therefore x=\frac{22}{2}=11
Sania’s age = x + 5 = 11 + 5 = 16 years
∴ The ages of Rakesh and Sania are 11 years and 16 years respectively.

Question 24 Marks
A rectangle is (8x + 5) cm long and (5x + 3) cm broad. Find its area.
Answer
Length of the rectangle = (8x + 5) cm
Breadth of the rectangle = (5x + 3) cm
∴ Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
= (8x + 5) × (5x + 3)
= 8x × (5x + 3) + 5 × (5x + 3)
= (8x × 5x) + (8x × 3) + (5 × 5x) + (5 × 3)
= 40x² + 24x + 25x + 15
= 40x² + 49x + 15
∴ The area of the rectangle is (40x² + 49x + 15) sq. cm.
