Question 2.
If y% of ₹ 1000 is 600, find the value ofy.
Solution:
y% of 1000 = 600
$$\frac{y}{100}$$ x 1000 = 600
y = $$\frac{600}{10}$$
y = 60

Question 3.
A number when decreased by 10% becomes 900. Then find the number.
Solution:
Let the number be ‘x’
Given x – $$\frac{10}{100}$$x = 900
$$\frac{100x-10x}{100}$$ = 900
$$\frac{90x}{100}$$ = 900
x = $$\frac{900×100}{90}$$ = 1000

Question 4.
If the population in a city has increased from 5,00,000 to 7,00,000 in a year, find the percentage increase in population.
Solution:
Increase in population = 7,00,000 – 5,00,000 = 2,00,000
Percentage increase in population = $$\frac{2,00,000}{5,00,000}$$ x 100 = 40%

Question 5.
If the selling price of a refrigerator is equal to $$\frac{10}{8}$$ of its cost price, then find the gain/ profit percent.
Solution:
Let the C.P of the refrigerator be x
S.P = $$\frac{10}{8}$$x
Profit = S.P – C.P = $$\frac{10}{8}$$x – x = $$\frac{10x-8x}{8}$$ = $$\frac{2x}{8}$$

Question 6.
Karnan bought a dishwasher for ₹ 32,300 and paid ₹ 2700 for its transportation. Then he sold it for X 38,500. Find his gain or loss percent.
Solution:
Total C.P of the dishwasher = C.P + Overhead expenses.
= ₹ 32300 + ₹ 2700 = ₹ 35000
S.P = ₹ 38500
Therefore, we find S.P > C.P

Question 7.
The value of a car 2 years ago was ₹ 1,40,000. It depreciates at the rate of 4% p.a. Find its present value.
Solution:
Depreciated value = P(1 + $$\frac{r}{100}$$)n = 1,40,000(1 – $$\frac{4}{100}$$)2
= 1,40,000($$\frac{96}{100}$$) x ($$\frac{96}{100}$$) = ₹ 1,29,024

Question 8.
Find the difference in C.I and S.I for P = ₹ 10,000, r = 4% p.a, n = 2 years.
Solution:
C.I – S.I = P($$\frac{r}{100}$$)2 = 10,000($$\frac{4}{100}$$)2
= 10,000 x $$\frac{4}{100}$$ x $$\frac{4}{100}$$ = ₹ 16

Question 9.
Find the C.I for the given Principal = ₹ 8,000, r = 5% p.a, n = 2 years
Amount A = P(1 + $$\frac{r}{100}$$)n = 8000(1 + $$\frac{5}{100}$$)2
= 8000 x $$\frac{105}{100}$$ x $$\frac{105}{100}$$
= 8000 x $$\frac{21}{20}$$ x $$\frac{21}{20}$$
A = ₹ 8820
Cl = A – P = 8820 – 8000 = 820

Question 10.
Find the S.I for the principal P = ₹ 16,000, r = 5% p.a, n = 3 years
Solution:
P = ₹ 16,000, n= 3 years, r = 5%
S.I = $$\frac{Pnr}{100}$$ = $$\frac{16000x3x5}{100}$$ = ₹ 2400
