If $\frac{2}{3}$ of a number if $20$ less than the original number, then the number is:
Answer Let the original number be $x.$
According to the question we can write as $\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)\text{x}+\text{20x}$
On rearranging $\text{x}-\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)\text{x}=20$
Now taking the $L.C.M$ od $1$ and $3$ is $3$
$\frac{(\text{3x - 2x})}{ 3=20}$
$\frac{\text{x}}{3=20}$
Again by transposing $x = 60$
So the original number is $60$

Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer: $3 + 23x - 8x^2 =\ ?$
- A
$(1 - 8x)(3 + x)$
- ✓
$(1 + 8x)(3 - x)$
- C
$(1 - 8x)(3 - x)$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $(1 + 8x)(3 - x)$
B
Solution:
$(1 + 8x)(3 - x)$
$3 + 23x - 8x^2$
$= 3 + 24x - x - 8x^2$
$= 3(1 + 8x)-x(1 + 8x)$
$= (1 + 8x)(3 - x)$

If the sum of two consecutive numbers is $71$ and one number is $x,$ then the other number is:
- ✓
$x + (x + 1) = 71$
- B
$x + (x + 2) = 71$
- C
$x + x = 71 $
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $x + (x + 1) = 71$
If $x$ is one number, then $x + 1$ would be the next consecutive number. Since the sum of the two consecutive numbers is $71,$ we can say,
$x + (x + 1) = 71$
$2x + 1 = 71$
$2x = 70$
$x = 35,$ so $x + 1 = 36$
$35 + 36 = 71$

The perimeter of a rectangle is $40\ cm.$ If its width is $10\ cm,$ then find the length.
Answer Perimeter of a rectangle $= 40\ cm$
Width $= 10\ cm$
Let the length be $x.$
Perimeter of rectangle $= 2($length $+$ width$)$
$40 = 2(x + 10)$
$\frac{40}{2} = \text{x} + 10$
$20 = x + 10$
$x = 20 - 10 = 10$
Thus, the length is also $10\ cm.$
Hence, we can say, that the given rectangle is basically a square, with all its sides equal.

What is the length of the rectangle whose breadth is $10\ cm$ and perimeter $60\ cm$
- A
$15\ cm$
- B
$16\ cm$
- ✓
$20\ cm$
- D
$25\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $20\ cm$
Breadth of the rectangle $= 10\ cm.$ And Perimeter of the rectangle $= 60\ cm$
Given
We know that,
Perimeter of rectangle $= 2(l+b)$
Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,
$\Rightarrow 60\ cm = 2(l + 10)\ cm$
$\Rightarrow 60\ cm = 2l + 20\ cm$
$\Rightarrow 60 - 20cm = 2l$
$\Rightarrow 40\ cm = 2l$
$\Rightarrow\frac{40}{2}\text{cm} = \text{l}$
$\Rightarrow l = 20\ cm$

- ✓
$\frac{10}{7}$
- B
$-\frac{10}{7}$
- C
$\frac{5}{7}$
- D
$-\frac{5}{7}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{10}{7}$
Taking, $\text{m}-\frac{\text{m}-1}{3}=1-\frac{\text{m}-2}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{m}-\text{m}+1}{3}=\frac{2-\text{m}+2}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{2m}+1}{3}=\frac{4-\text{m}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow2{\text({2\text{m}}+1})=3(4-\text{m})$
$\Rightarrow{\text{4m}+2}=12-\text{3m}$
$\Rightarrow{\text{4m}+2}\text{3m}=12-2$
$\Rightarrow\text{7m}=10$
$\Rightarrow\text{m}=\frac{10}{7}$

A number consists of two digits whose sum is $8.$ If $18$ is added to the number, its digits are interchanged. Find the number:
AnswerThe number is $10x + y$
When digits are reversed, the number becomes $10y + x.$
We have,
$x + y = 8 (i)$
$10x + y + 18 = 10y + x$
$x - y + 2 = 0 (ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii),$ we get
$x = 3, y = 5$
$\therefore$ The number is $35.$
