class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.1 (1)
1 Find the ratio of the following.
(a) Speed of cycle 15 km per hour to the speed of scooter 30 km per hour.
(b) 5m to 10 km (c) 50 paise to Rs 5
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.1 (1).
(a) Speed of cycle = 15 km/hr
Speed of scooter = 30 km/hr
Hence ratio of speed of cycle to that of scooter = 15:30= 1:2
(b) 1km = 1000 m
10 km = 10×1000 = 10000 m
Ratio=5 m: 10000 m=1: 2000
(c) Rs 1= 100 paise
Rs 5 = 5×100=500 paise
Hence ratio = 50 paise : 500 Paise =1: 10

6. If 60% people in a city like cricket, 30% like football and the remaining like other games, then what per cent of the people like other games? If the total number of people are 50 lakh, find the exact number who like each type of game.
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.1 (6).
Number of people who like cricket = 60%
Number of people who like football = 30%
Number of people who like other games = 100% – (60% + 30%) = 10%
Now Number of people who like cricket = 60% of 50,00,000 = (⁶⁰/₁₀₀) × 50,00,000 =30,00,000
And Number of people who like football = 30% of 50,00,000 = (³⁰/₁₀₀)× 50,00,000
=15,00,000
Number of people who like other games = 10% of 50,00,000 = (¹⁰/₁₀₀) × 50,00,000
=5,00,000
Hence, number of people who like other games are 5 lakh.
Exercise 8.2

On Sunday, people went to the Zoo = 845
On Monday, people went to the Zoo = 169
Number of decrease in the people = 845 – 169 = 676
Decrease percent = [⁽⁶⁷⁶⁾/₈₄₅] × 100=80%
Hence decrease in the people visiting the Zoo is 80%.
class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.2 (3)
3. A shopkeeper buys 80 articles for Rs 2,400 and sells them for a profit of 16%. Find the selling price of one article.
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.2 (3).
Number of articles =80
Cost price of articles = ₹ 2,400
And profit percent = 16 %
Selling price of articles= 2,400 × [⁽¹⁰⁰⁺¹⁶⁾/₁₀₀]
=24 × 116 = ₹ 2784.
{∵ If a value increases x % multiply that value by [⁽¹⁰⁰⁺ˣ⁾/₁₀₀] to get new value}
∴ Selling price of 1 article = [⁽²⁷⁸⁴⁾/₈₀]= ₹ 34.80
class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.2 (4)
4. The cost of an article was Rs 15,500. Rs 450 were spent on its repairs. If it is sold for a profit of 15%, find the selling price of the article.
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.2 (4).
Cost price = ₹ 15,500 and cost for repair =₹450
∴ Total cost price = ₹15,500+₹450 =₹15,950
Profit % =15%
∴ Selling price = C.P ×{⁽¹⁰⁰⁺¹⁵⁾/₁₀₀}
{∵ If a value increases x % multiply that value by [⁽¹⁰⁰⁺ˣ⁾/₁₀₀] to get new value}
S.P=15,950×[⁽¹¹⁵⁾/₁₀₀]
S.P=18342.50
class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.2 (5)
5. A VCR and TV were bought for Rs 8,000 each. The shopkeeper made a loss of 4% on the VCR and a profit of 8% on the TV. Find the gain or loss percent on the whole transaction.
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.2 (5).
Cost price of VCR = ₹ 8000 and Cost price of TV = ₹8000
Total Cost Price of both articles = ₹8000 + ₹8000 = ₹16,000
Now VCR is sold at 4% loss.
∴ Selling price of VCR =C.P.×{⁽¹⁰⁰⁻⁴⁾/₁₀₀}
S.P of VCR =8000×[⁽⁹⁶⁾/₁₀₀] =80×96=₹7680
{∵ If a value decreases x % multiply that value by [⁽¹⁰⁰⁻ˣ⁾/₁₀₀] to get new value}
And TV is sold at 8% profit,
Then S.P of T.V =C.P×{⁽¹⁰⁰⁺⁸⁾/₁₀₀}
{∵ If a value increases x % multiply that value by [⁽¹⁰⁰⁺ˣ⁾/₁₀₀] to get new value}
S.P of T.V= 8000×[⁽¹⁰⁸⁾/₁₀₀]=₹8,640
Total Selling price =₹7680+₹8640=₹16,320
Since S.P>C.P
∴ Profit =S.P – C.P=16,320-16000=₹320
And profit%=(profit/C.P)×100= [⁽³²⁰⁾/₁₆₀₀₀]×100
=2%

6. During a sale, a shop offered a discount of 10% on the marked prices of all the items. What would a customer have to pay for a pair of jeans marked at Rs 1450 and two shirts marked at Rs 850 each?
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.2 (6).
Rate of discount on all items = 10%
Marked Price of a pair of jeans = ₹1450 and Marked Price of a shirt = ₹850
Discount on pair of jeans= 10% of 1450
=[⁽¹⁰⁾/₁₀₀]×1450
=₹145
∴ Selling price of jeans=₹1450-₹145=₹1305
Marked price of two shirts=2×850=₹1700
Discount on two shirts=10% of ₹1700
=[⁽¹⁰⁾/₁₀₀]×1700
=₹170
∴ Selling price of two shirts=₹1700-₹170=₹1530
∴ The customer had to pay =₹1305+1530=₹2,835

S.P of each buffalo =₹20,000
S.P of two buffaloes =2 ×₹20,000 =₹40,000.
One buffalo is sold at 5% gain.
C.P=[¹⁰⁰/₍₁₀₀₊ₚ₎]×S.P
{∵ S.P=C.P×[⁽¹⁰⁰⁺ᵖ⁾/₁₀₀] here, p=profit%}
C.P=[¹⁰⁰/₍₁₀₀₊₅₎]×20,000
C.P=[¹⁰⁰/₁₀₅]×20,000=₹19,047.62
Another buffalo is sold at 10% loss.
C.P=[⁽¹⁰⁰⁾/₍₁₀₀₋ₗ₎]×S.P
{∵ S.P=C.P×[⁽¹⁰⁰⁻ˡ⁾/₁₀₀] here, l=loss%}
C.P=[¹⁰⁰/₍₁₀₀₋₁₀₎]×20,000
C.P=[¹⁰⁰/₉₀]×20,000=22,222.22
Total C.P=₹19,047.62+₹22,222.22=₹41,269.84
Since C.P>S.P
∴ Here it is loss.
Loss=C.P-S.P=₹41,269.84-₹40,000=₹1,269.84

A=10000×[¹¹/₁₀]
A=₹11000
Interest for half year =[⁽¹¹⁰⁰⁰ˣ¹ˣ¹⁰⁾/₍₂ₓ₁₀₀₎] =₹550.
Total amount = ₹11,000 + ₹550 = ₹11,550
C.I. = A – P = ₹11,550 – ₹10,000 = ₹1,550
Yes, interest ₹ 1,576.25 is more than 1,550.

9. Find the amount which Ram will get on Rs 4096, if he gave it for 18 months at 12½% per annum, interest being compounded half yearly.
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.3 (9).
Here, Principal (P)=₹4096, Time=18 months=1½ half years.
=3 half years {∵Compounded half yearly}
Rate of interest=(R)=(12½)%=(²⁵/₄)%{∵Compounded half yearly}
Amount=(A)=P[1+(ᴿ/₁₀₀)]ⁿ
A=4096×[1+(²⁵/₄₀₀)]³
A=4096×[1+(¹/₁₆)]³
A=4096×[¹⁷/₁₆]³
A=4096× (¹⁷/₁₆)×(¹⁷/₁₆)×(¹⁷/₁₆)
A=₹4,913

10. The population of a place increased to 54,000 in 2003 at a rate of 5% per annum
(i) find the population in 2001.
(ii) what would be its population in 2005?
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.3 (10).
(i)Here, A₂₀₀₃ = 54,000, R = 5%, n= 2 years Population would be less in 2001 than 2003 in two years. Here population is increasing.
A₂₀₀₃=P₂₀₀₁[1+(ᴿ/₁₀₀)]ⁿ
54000=P₂₀₀₁[1+(⁵/₁₀₀)]²
54000=P₂₀₀₁[1+(¹/₂₀)]²
54000=P₂₀₀₁(²¹/₂₀)²
54000=P₂₀₀₁×(²¹/₂₀)×(²¹/₂₀)
P₂₀₀₁=54000×[⁽²⁰ˣ²⁰⁾/₍₂₁ₓ₂₁₎]
P₂₀₀₁=48,980(approx.)
(ii) According to question, population is increasing.
∴ population in 2005,
A₂₀₀₅=P[1+(ᴿ/₁₀₀)]ⁿ
A₂₀₀₅=54000[1+(⁵/₁₀₀)]²
A₂₀₀₅=54000(²¹/₂₀)²
A₂₀₀₅=54000×(²¹/₂₀)×(²¹/₂₀)=59,535
Hence population in 2005 would be 59,535.

11. In a Laboratory, the count of bacteria in a certain experiment was increasing at the rate of 2.5% per hour. Find the bacteria at the end of 2 hours if the count was initially 5, 06,000.
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.3 (11).
Here, Principal (P)=₹506000, Time=2 hours.
Rate of interest=(R)=2.5%
After 2 hours number of bacteria,
Amount=(A)=P[1+(ᴿ/₁₀₀)]ⁿ
A=506000×[1+(²·⁵/₁₀₀)]²
A=60000×[1+(²⁵/₁₀₀₀)]²
A=60000×[1+(¹/₄₀)]²
A=60000× (⁴¹/₄₀)×(⁴¹/₄₀)
A=5,31,616.25
Hence number of bacteria after two hours are 5,31,616 (approx.)

12. A scooter was bought at Rs 42,000. Its value depreciated at the rate of 8% per annum. Find its value after one year.
Solution to class 8 maths chapter 8 exercise 8.3 (12).
Here, Principal (P)=₹42000, Time=1year.
Rate of interest=(R)=8%
Given scooter value depreciated at the rate of 8% per annum.
Amount=(A)=P[1-(ᴿ/₁₀₀)]ⁿ
A=42000×[1-(⁸/₁₀₀)]¹
A=42000×[1-(²/₂₅)]
A=42000×[²⁷/₂₅]
A=42000× (²⁷/₂₅)
A=₹38,640
Hence, the value of scooter after one year is =₹38,640.
