Solution:
Let the age of Baichung be x years.
The age of his father = x + 29 years,
and the age of his grandfather = x + 29 + 26 = (x + 55) years.
As per the conditions, we get
x + x + 29 + x + 55 = 135
⇒ 3x + 84 = 135
⇒ 3x = 135 – 84 (transposing 84 to RHS)
⇒ 3x = 51
⇒ x = 51 ÷ 3 (transposing 3 to RHS)
⇒ x = 17
Hence Baichung’s age = 17 years
Baichung’s father’s age = 17 + 29 = 46 years,
and grand father’s age = 46 + 26 = 72 years.

Solution:
Let the number of ₹ 100, ₹ 50 and ₹ 10 notes be 2x, 3x and 5x respectively.
Converting all the denominations into rupees, we have
2x × 100, 3x × 50 and 5x × 10 i.e. 200x, 150x and 50x
As per the conditions, we have
200x + 150x + 50x = 4,00,000
⇒ 400x = 4,00,000
⇒ x = 4,00,000 ÷ 400 (transposing 400 to RHS)
⇒ x = 1,000
Hence, the required number of notes of
₹ 100 notes = 2 × 1000 = 2000
₹ 50 notes = 3 × 1000 = 3000
and ₹ 10 notes = 5 × 1000 = 5000

I have a total of ₹ 300 in coins of denomination ₹ 1, ₹ 2 and ₹ 5. The number of ₹ 2 coins is 3 times the number of ₹ 5 coins. The total number of coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me?
Solution:
Let the number of ₹ 5 coins be x.
Number of ₹ 2 coins = 3x
Total number of coins = 160
Number of ₹ 1 coin = 160 – (x + 3x) = 160 – 4x
Converting the number of coins into rupees, we have
x coins of ₹ 5 amount to ₹ 5x
3x coins of ₹ 2 amount to ₹ 3x × 2 = ₹ 6x
and (160 – 4x) coins of ₹ 1 amount to ₹ 1 × (160 – 4x) = ₹ (160 – 4x)
As per the conditions, we have
5x + 6x + 160 – 4x = 300
⇒ 7x + 160 = 300
⇒ 7x = 300 – 160 (transposing 160 to RHS)
⇒ 7x = 140
⇒ x = 140 ÷ 7 (transposing 7 to RHS)
⇒ x = 20
Thus, number of ₹ 5 coins = 20
Number of ₹ 2 coins = 3 × 20 = 60
and Number of ₹ 1 coins = 160 – 4 × 20 = 160 – 80 = 80

Ex 2.2 Class 8 Maths Question 16.
The organisers of an essay competition decide that a winner in the competition gets a prize of ₹ 100 and a participant who does not win gets a prize of ₹ 25. The total prize money distributed is ₹ 3,000. Find the number of winners, if the total number of participants is 63.
Solution:
Let the number of winners = x
Number of participants who does not win the prize = (63 – x)
Amount got by winners = ₹ 100 × x = ₹ 100x
Amount got by loosers = ₹ (63 – x) × 25 = ₹ (1575 – 25x)
As per the conditions, we get
100x + 1575 – 25x = 3000
⇒ 75x + 1575 = 3000
⇒ 75x = 3000 – 1575 (transposing 1575 to RHS)
⇒ 75x = 1425
⇒ x = 1425 ÷ 75 (Transposing 75 to RHS)
NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 Linear Equations in One Variable Ex 2.2 Q16
⇒ x = 19
Thus, the number of winners = 19

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 Linear Equations Exercise 2.4

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 1.
Amina thinks of a number and subtracts 52 from it. She multiplies the result by 8. The result now obtained is 3 times the same number she thought of. What is the number?
Solution:
Let the required number be x.
Condition I: x – 52
Condition II: 8 × (x – 52)
Condition III: 8 × (x – 52) = 3x
⇒ 8x – 52 × 8 = 3x (Solving the bracket)
⇒ 8x – 20 = 3x
⇒ 8x – 3x = 20 (Transposing 3x to LHS and 20 to RHS)
⇒ 5x = 20
⇒ x = 20 ÷ 5 = 4 (Transposing 5 to RHS)
Thus, x = 4 is the required number.

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 2.
A positive number is 5 times another number. If 21 is added to both the numbers, then one of the new numbers becomes twice the other number. What are the numbers?
Solution:
Let the positive number be x.
Other number = 5x
Condition I: x + 21 and 5x + 21
Condition II: 5x + 21 = 2 (x + 21)
⇒ 5x + 21 = 2x + 42 (Solving the bracket)
⇒ 5x – 2x = 42 – 21 (Transposing 2x to LHS and 21 to RHS)
⇒ 3x = 21
⇒ x = 21 ÷ 3 = 7 (Transposing 3 to RHS)
Thus, the required numbers are 7 and 7 × 5 = 35.

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 3.
Sum of the digits of a two digit number is 9. When we interchange the digits, it is found that the resulting new number is greater than the original number by 27. What is the two-digit number?
Solution:
Let unit place digit be x.
Ten’s place digit = 9 – x
Original number = x + 10(9 – x)
Condition I: 10x + (9 – x) (Interchanging the digits)
Condition II: New number = original number + 27
⇒ 10x + (9 – x) = x + 10(9 – x) + 27
⇒ 10x + 9 – x = x + 90 – 10x + 27 (solving the brackets)
⇒ 9x + 9 = -9x + 117 (Transposing 9x to LHS and 9 to RHS)
⇒ 9x + 9x = 117 – 9
⇒ 18x = 108
⇒ x = 108 ÷ 18 (Transposing 18 to RHS)
⇒ x = 6
Unit place digit = 6
Ten’s place digit = 9 – 6 = 3
Thus, the required number = 6 + 3 × 10 = 6 + 30 = 36

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 4.
One of the two digits of a two digit number is three times the other digit. If you interchange the digits of this two-digit number and add the resulting number to the original number, you get 88. What is the original number?
Solution:
Let unit place digit be x.
Ten’s place digit = 3x
Original number = x + 3x × 10 = x + 30x = 31x
Condition I: 10x + 3x = 13x (interchanging the digits)
Condition II: New number + original number = 88
13x + 31x = 88
⇒ 44x = 88
⇒ x = 88 ÷ 44 (Transposing 44 to RHS)
⇒ x = 2
Thus, the original number = 31x = 31 × 2 = 62
Hence the required number = 62

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 5.
Shobo’s mother’s present age is six times Shobo’s present age. Shobo’s age five years from now will be one third of his mother’s present age. What are their present ages?
Solution:
Let Shobo’s present age be x years.
Shobo’s mother’s age = 6x years.
After 5 years Shobo’s age will be (x + 5) years.
As per the condition, we have
x + 5 = 13 × 6x
⇒ x + 5 = 2x
⇒ 5 = 2x – x (Transposing x to RHS)
⇒ 5 = x
Hence Shobo’s present age = 5 years
and Shobo’s mother’s present age 6x = 6 × 5 = 30 years.

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 6.
There is a narrow rectangular plot, reserved for a school, in Mahuli village. The length and breadth of the plot are in the ratio 11 : 4. At the rate of ₹ 100 per metre, it will cost the village panchayat ₹ 75000 to fence the plot. What are the dimensions of the plot?
Solution:
Let the length and breadth of the plot be 11x m and 4x m respectively.
Fencing all around = perimeter of the rectangular plot
Perimeter of the plot = 75000100 = 750 m
2(l + b) = 750
⇒ 2(11x + 4x) = 750
⇒ 2(15x) = 750
⇒ 30x = 750
⇒ x = 750 ÷ 30 = 25
length = 11 × 25 m = 275 m
and breadth = 4 × 25 m = 100 m

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 7.
Hasan buys two kinds of cloth materials for school uniforms, shirt material that costs him ₹ 50 per metre and trousers material that costs him ₹ 90 per metre. For every 3 metres of the shirt material, he buys 2 metres of the trouser material. He sells the materials at 12% and 10% profit respectively. His total sale is ₹ 36,600. How much trouser material did he buy?
Solution:
Ratio of shirt material bought to the trouser material bought = 3 : 2
Let the shirt material bought = 3x m
and trouser material bought = 2x m
Cost of shirt material = 50 × 3x = ₹ 150x
Cost of trouser material = 90 × 2x = ₹ 180x

Hence, the required number of deer = 72.

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 9.
A grandfather is ten times older than his granddaughter. He is also 54 years older than her. Find their present ages.
Solution:
Let the present age of granddaughter = x years.
the present age of grandfather = 10x years.
As per the conditions, we have
10x – x = 54
⇒ 9x = 54
⇒ x = 54 ÷ 9 = 6 [Transposing 9 to RHS]
Hence, the present age of the granddaughter = 6 years
and the present age of grandfather = 6 × 10 = 60 years.

Ex 2.4 Class 8 Maths Question 10.
Aman’s age is three times his son’s age. Ten years ago he was five times his son’s age. Find their present ages.
Solution:
Let the present age of the son be x years.
Present age of Aman = 3x years
10 years ago, the son’s age was = (x – 10) years
10 years ago, the father’s age was = (3x – 10) years
As per the conditions, we have
5(x – 10) = 3x – 10
⇒ 5x – 50 = 3x – 10
⇒ 5x – 3x = 50 – 10(Transposing 3x to LHS and 50 to RHS)
⇒ 2x = 40
⇒ x = 40 ÷ 2 = 20
Hence, the son’s age = 20 years.
and the age of Aman = 20 × 3 = 60 years.
