Answer Key & Explanations

1. Answer: 120. Let the number of coins be 4x, 3x, and 2x. Total value = (1*4x) + (2*3x) + (5*2x) = 800. Solving 20x = 800 gives x = 40. Number of ₹2 coins = 3x = 3 * 40 = 120.

2. Answer: ₹960. Selling Price (SP) = 80% of 1500 = ₹1200. Since Profit = 25%, SP = 1.25 * CP. Therefore, CP = 1200 / 1.25 = ₹960.

3. Answer: 4/9. 1-day work together = 1/12 + 1/18 = 5/36. In 4 days, they complete 4 * (5/36) = 5/9. Remaining work = 1 – 5/9 = 4/9.

4. Answer: 31 years. Total age of 8 students = 8 * 22 = 176. Total age of 9 people = 9 * 23 = 207. Age of faculty = 207 – 176 = 31.

5. Answer: 48 km/h. Average Speed = (2 * S1 * S2) / (S1 + S2) = (2 * 60 * 40) / (60 + 40) = 4800 / 100 = 48 km/h.
