2. The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154 m. Its length is 2 m more than twice its breadth. What are the length and breadth?

Ans. Let the breadth of the pool be  m.

Then, the length of the pool =  m

Perimeter =

 154 =

 

[Dividing both sides by 2]

 

 

[Subtracting 2 from both sides]

 

 

[Dividing both sides by 3]

 

 m

Hence, length of the pool =

= 50 + 2 = 52 m

And,    breadth of the pool = 25 m.

3. The base of an isosceles triangle is cm. The perimeter of the triangle is  cm. What is the length of either of the remaining equal sides?

Ans. Let each of equal sides of an isosceles triangle be  cm.

Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all three sides

 

 

 

[Subtracting  from both the sides]

 

 

 

[Dividing both sides by 2]

 

  cm

Hence, each equal side of an isosceles triangle is  cm.

4. Sum of two numbers is 95. If one exceeds the other by 15, find the numbers.

Ans. Sum of two number = 95

Let the first number be  then another number be .

According to the question,

 

 

[Subtracting 15 from both sides]

 

 

[Dividing both sides by 2]

 

Hence, the first number = 40

And another number = 40 + 15 = 55.

6. Three consecutive integers add up to 51. What are these integers?

Ans. Let the three consecutive integers be  and

According to the question, 

 

 

[Subtracting 3 from both sides]

 

 

[Dividing both sides by 3]

 

Hence, first integer = 16,

second integer = 16 + 1 = 17 and

third integer = 16 + 2 = 18.

---

7. The sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888. Find the multiples.

Ans. Let the three consecutive multiples of 8 be  and

According to question, 

 

 

[Subtracting 24 from both sides]

 

 

[Dividing both sides by 3]

 

Hence, first multiple of 8 = 288,

second multiple of 8 = 288 + 8 = 296 and third multiple of 8 = 288 + 16 = 304.

---

8. Three consecutive integers are such that when they are taken in increasing order and multiplied by 2, 3 and 4 respectively, they add up to 74. Find these numbers.

Ans. Let the three consecutive integers be  and

According to the question,

 

 

 

[Subtracting 11 from both sides]

 

 

[Dividing both sides by 9]

 

Hence first integer = 7, second integer

= 7 + 1 = 8 and third integer = 7 + 2 = 9.
