Solution

Let 𝑃 = [10000 2000 18000]

8
 𝑄 = [6000 20000 8000]
2.50 2.00
𝑅 = [1.50] and 𝑆 = [1.00]
1.00 0.50

(i) Total revenue of Market 𝐴 = 𝑃𝑅

2.50
= [10000 2000 18000] [1.50]
1.00
= [10000 × 2.50 + 2000 × 1.50 + 18000 × 1.00]
= [25000 + 3000 + 18000]
= [46000]

Hence, total revenue of market 𝐴 is ₹ 46000 .

Ans-c

(ii) Total revenue of Market 𝐵 = 𝑄𝑅

2.50
= [6000 20000 8000] [1.50]
1.00
= [6000 × 2.50 + 20000 × 1.50 + 8000 × 1]
= [15000 + 30000 + 8000]
= [53000]

Hence, total revenue of market 𝐵 is ₹ 53000 .

Ans-b

(iii) Cost incurred in Market 𝐴 = 𝑃𝑆

2.00
= [10000 2000 18000] [1.00]
0.50

= [10000 × 2.00 + 2000 × 1.00 + 18000 × 0.50]

= [20000 + 2000 + 9000]

= [31000]

Hence, cost incurred in market 𝐴 is ₹ 31000 .

Ans-d

(iv) Profit in Market 𝐴 = 46000 − 31000

= ₹15000

9
Again, cost incurred in Market 𝐵 = 𝑄𝑆

2.00
= [6000 20000 8000] [1.00]
0.50
= [6000 × 2 + 20000 × 1 + 8000 × 0.50]
= [12000 + 20000 + 4000]
= [36000]

∴ Profit of Market 𝐵 = 53000 − 36000

= ₹17000

Ans-a

(v) Gross profit in both market

= 15000 + 17000
= ₹32000

(v) How many articles (in total) are sold by three schools?
(a) 230
(b) 130
(c) 430
(d) 330

Solution

(i) Total money collected by the school DPS

40
= [25 100 50] [50]
20
= [25 × 40 + 100 × 50 + 50 × 20]
= [1000 + 5000 + 1000]
= [7000]

Hence, total total money collected by the school DPS is ₹ 7000 .

Ans-b

(ii) Total money collected by the school CVC

12
 25
= [25 100 50] [40]
30
= [25 × 25 + 100 × 40 + 50 × 30]
= [625 + 4000 + 1500]
= [6125]

Hence, total total money collected by the school CVC is ₹ 6125 .

Total money collected by the school KVS

35
= [25 100 50] [50]
40
= [25 × 35 + 100 × 50 + 50 × 40]
= [875 + 5000 + 2000]
= [7875]

Hence, total total money collected by the school KVS is ₹ 7875 .

∴ Total amount of money collected by schools CVC and KVS = 6125 + 7875

= ₹14000

Ans-a

(iii) Total amount of money collected by all three schools DPS, CVC and KVS

= 7000 + 14000
= ₹21000

Ans-c

(iv) If the numbers of handmade fans and plates are interchanged for all the

Schools DPS CVC KVS

Handmade fans 20 30 40

Mats 50 40 50

Plates 40 25 35

Now, total money collected by the school

13
 20
DPS = [25 100 50] [50]
40
= [25 × 20 + 100 × 50 + 50 × 40]
= [500 + 5000 + 2000]
= [7500]

Hence, total total money collected by the school DPS is ₹ 7500 .

Total money collected by the school CVC

30
= [25 100 50] [40]
25
= [25 × 30 + 100 × 40 + 50 × 25]
= [750 + 4000 + 1250]
= [6000]

Hence, total total money collected by the school CVC is ₹ 6000 .

Total money collected by the school KVS

40
= [25 100 50] [50]
35
= [25 × 40 + 100 × 50 + 50 × 35]
= [1000 + 5000 + 1750]
= [7750]

Hence, total total money collected by the school KVS is ₹ 7750 .

∴ Total money collected by all schools

= 7500 + 6000 + 7750 = ₹21250

Ans-d

(v) Total number of articles are sold by three schools = (40 + 50 + 20) + (25 + 40 + 30) + (35 +

If there were 8 children less, everyone would have got ₹ 10 more. However, if there were 16 children
more, everyone would have got ₹ 10 less. Let the number of children be 𝑥 and the amount distributed
by Seema for one child be 𝑦 (in ₹).

Based on the information given above, answer the following questions.

[CBSE Question Bank]

(i) The equations in terms 𝑥 and 𝑦 are

(a) 5𝑥 − 4𝑦 = 40,5𝑥 − 8𝑦 = −80
(b) 5𝑥 − 4𝑦 = 40,5𝑥 + 8𝑦 = 80
(c) 5𝑥 − 4𝑦 = 40,5𝑥 + 8𝑦 = −80
(d) 5𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 40,5𝑥 − 8𝑦 = −80

(ii) Which of the following matrix equations represent the information given above?

(v) How much amount Seema spends in distributing the money to all the students of the Orphanage?
(a) ₹ 609
(b) ₹ 960
(c) ₹ 906
(d) ₹ 690

Solution

15
 If there were 8 children less and everyone would have get ₹ 10 more, then
(𝑥 − 8)(𝑦 + 10)
= 𝑥𝑦
𝑥𝑦
𝑥𝑦 + 10𝑥 − 8𝑦 − 80 = 𝑥𝑦
5𝑥 − 4𝑦 = 40

If there were 16 children more, everyone would have got ₹10 less, then

(𝑥 + 16)(𝑦 − 10) = 𝑥𝑦
⇒ 𝑥𝑦 − 10𝑥 + 16𝑦 − 160 = 𝑥𝑦
⇒ 5𝑥 − 8𝑦 = −80

(i) 5𝑥 − 4𝑦 = 40,

5𝑥 − 8𝑦 = −80
