Answer
(i) Cost of 1 metre cloth = ₹ x
∴ Cost of 6 metre cloth = ₹ (6 × x)
∴ Cost of 6 metre cloth = ₹ 6x
(ii) Cost of 1 notebook = ₹ x
Cost of 5 notebooks = ₹ 5x
Cost of 1 book = ₹ y
Cost of 2 books = ₹ 2y
∴ Total cost of 5 notebooks and 2 books = ₹ (5x + 2y)
∴ The cost of 5 notebooks and 2 books = ₹ (5x + 2y)
(iii) Ragini's score in English = x marks
Two-third of her score in English =
Score in Mathematics = 23 more than two-third of her score in English
∴ Ragini's score in Mathematics = marks
(iv) Length of one side of the regular pentagon = x cm
A regular pentagon has 5 equal sides.
Perimeter of the pentagon = 5 × length of one side
= 5 × x
∴ Perimeter of the regular pentagon = 5x cm
