Section – C
Q. No. 41-45 are based on Case Study–I, you have to answer any (4) four questions. Q. No. 46-50 are based on Case Study-II, you have to answer any (4) four questions.
Case Study-I
A book store shopkeeper gives books on rent for reading. He has variety of books in his store related to fiction, stories and quizzes etc. He takes a fixed charge for the first two days and an additional charge for subsequent day. Amruta paid ₹22 for a book and kept for 6 days; while Radhika paid ₹16 for keeping the book for 4 days.
Math Standard Sec C Case study I
Assume that the fixed charge be ₹x and additional charge (per day) be ₹y.
Based on the above information, answer any four of the following questions :

Given information:

Let, fixed charge for 2 days = ₹x.

and additional charge (per day) = ₹y.

Question 41

The situation of amount paid by Radhika, is algebraically represented by

  1. x – 4y = 16
  2. x + 4y = 16
  3. x – 2y = 16
  4. x + 2y = 16

Ans: (d)

The amount paid by Radhika, for keeping the book for 4 days = ₹16

Fixed charge for two days + additional charge (per day) for next 2 days = ₹16

x + 2y = 16

Question 42

The situation of amount paid by Amruta, is algebraically represented by

  1. x – 2y = 11
  2. x – 2y = 11
  3. x + 4y = 22
  4. x – 4y = 11

Ans: (c)

Sol: The amount paid by Amruta, for keeping the book for 6 days = ₹22

Fixed charge for two days + additional charge (per day) for next 4 days = ₹22.

x + 4y = 22

Question 43

What are the fixed charges for a book?

  1. ₹9
  2. ₹10
  3. ₹13
  4. ₹15

Ans: (b)

Math Stand C10 Ques-43-sol

Question 44

What are the additional charges for each subsequent day for a book?

  1. ₹6
  2. ₹5
  3. ₹4
  4. ₹3

Ans: (d)

Sol: The additional charges for each subsequent day for a book = y = ₹3 (As solved in Q. 43 equation (3).)

Question 45

What is the total amount paid by both, if both of them have kept the book for 2 more days?

  1. ₹35
  2. ₹52
  3. ₹50
  4. ₹58

Ans: (c)

Sol: Total amount = Amount paid by Radhika for keeping the book for 6 days + Amruta for keeping the book for 8 days

= Radhika for keeping the book for 4 days + 2 days additional
+ Amruta keeping the book for 6 days + 2 days additional

= 16 + 2y + 22 + 2y

= 38 + 4y

= 38 + 4 × 3

= 38 + 12

= ₹50
