Section C:
76.(a) 225÷15=15; 17×3=51; 15+51−35=31.
77.(a) Interest = 72,800−56,000 = ₹16,800 over 3 years; rate = (16,800×100)/(56,000×3) = 10%.
78.(a) The parts total 13+17=30; larger number = 210×17/30 = 119.
79.(a) Profit = 2,250−1,800 = ₹450; profit percentage = (450/1,800)×100 = 25%.
80.(a) The first seventy natural numbers sum to 2,485; average = 2,485/70 = 35.5.
81.(a) Speed = 440 m / 44 s = 10 m/s = 10×18/5 = 36 km/h.
82.(a) If CP of 80 articles equals SP of 64 articles, SP/CP per article = 80/64 = 1.25, a profit of 25%.
83.(a) 90% of 100 = 90; 50% of 120 = 60; sum = 150.
84.(a) Combined rate = 1/5; A's rate = 1/8; B's rate = 1/5−1/8 = 8/40−5/40 = 3/40, so B alone takes 40/3 = 13.33 days.
85.(a) Amount = 1,10,000×(1.10)² = 1,33,100; compound interest = ₹23,100.
86.(a) 17(x−14)=10x−28 gives 17x−238=10x−28, so 7x=210, x=30.
87.(a) Area = (22/7)×70² = 22×700 = 15,400 sq cm.
88.(a) Downstream speed = 32+8 = 40 km/h; time = 240/40 = 6 hours.
