Key Concept: Proportional Reasoning in Image Dimensions

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
For images to appear similar, their corresponding dimensions must change by the same multiplicative factor. In image A (60 mm × 40 mm), image C (30 mm × 20 mm) has both width and height scaled down by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$. Similarly, image D (90 mm × 60 mm) is scaled up by a factor of $\frac{3}{2}$ from A. Since the scaling factors are equal for width and height in these cases, the shapes remain similar. However, image B (40 mm × 20 mm) has height scaled by $\frac{1}{2}$ but width scaled by $\frac{2}{3}$, making it distorted. The reason correctly explains why proportional scaling preserves similarity.

Option B: Add 12 cm to both (60 cm × 48 cm) → Different scaling factors: width scales by $\frac{60}{48} = 1.25$, height scales by $\frac{48}{36} \approx 1.33$ → Not similar
Option C: Scale both by 1.5 (72 cm × 54 cm) → Same scaling factor → Similar

This is also true and correctly explains why the images remain similar under multiplicative scaling but not additive scaling.

The cross multiplication method does not require ratios to be in their simplest form to be applied correctly. The proportionality condition $ad = bc$ holds true irrespective of whether the ratios $a:b$ and $c:d$ are simplified or not. For example, consider the unsimplified ratio $4:6 :: 6:9$. Cross multiplying gives $4 \times 9 = 6 \times 6$, which simplifies to $36 = 36$, proving proportionality. Thus, the Assertion is false. However, the Reason states that simplifying ratios eliminates common factors, which is a correct statement but not relevant to the applicability of the cross multiplication method. Therefore, the Reason is true independently.

c) 7.5 days
[Solution Description]
This is an inverse proportion problem since more workers will take less time. The product of workers and days remains constant. Let $x$ be the required number of days.
$5 \text{ workers} \times 12 \text{ days} = 8 \text{ workers} \times x \text{ days}$
$x = \frac{5 \times 12}{8} = \frac{60}{8} = 7.5 \text{ days}$

Key Concept: Cross Multiplication Basics

c) 15
[Solution Description]
We are given the proportion $3 : 5 :: 9 : x$. Using the cross multiplication rule, we have:
$3 \times x = 5 \times 9$
Solving for $x$:
$3x = 45 \implies x = \frac{45}{3} = 15$
Therefore, the value of $x$ is 15.

Key Concept: Cross Multiplication Method

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the cross multiplication method is used to find the fourth proportional in a proportion, which is true. The reason given is that in the proportion $a : b :: c : d$, the product of the extremes ($a$ and $d$) equals the product of the means ($b$ and $c$). This is also true, as it defines the cross multiplication rule $ad = bc$. Moreover, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is valid since the cross multiplication method is derived from this property. Therefore, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Key Concept: Proportional Reasoning, Real-World Application

c) 6
[Solution Description]
First find the work rate per machine:
12,000 newspapers / (6 machines × 18 hours) = 12000/108 ≈ 111.11 newspapers per machine-hour
Now calculate required machines for new job:
Let x = required machines
$x \times 15 \times 111.11 = 20000$
$x = 20000 / (15 \times 111.11) ≈ 12$ machines

[Solution Description]
Given the proportion $4 : 5 :: 8 : x$, we can use cross multiplication to solve for $x$.
Step 1: Write the proportion as an equation:
$4 \times x = 5 \times 8$
Step 2: Multiply the known terms:
$4x = 40$
Step 3: Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by 4:
$x = \frac{40}{4} = 10$
Therefore, the value of $x$ is 10.

Key Concept: Proportional Reasoning

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
Given:
- $8$ bags $\equiv 40$ kg
For direct proportion, the ratio remains constant.
Let the weight for 5 bags be $x$ kg.
Using Rule of Three:
$8 : 40 :: 5 : x$
Cross-multiplying:
$$8x = 40 \times 5$$
$$x = \frac{200}{8} = 25$$
Hence, Assertion (A) is true.
Reason (R) states the correct concept of direct proportionality, and it explains why the calculation works.

b) 40
[Solution Description]
Model the problem as the proportion $5 : 25 :: 8 : x$.
Step 1: Write the proportion and use the Rule of Three:
$5 \times x = 25 \times 8$
Step 2: Multiply the known terms:
$5x = 200$
Step 3: Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by 5:
$x = \frac{200}{5} = 40$
The machine can produce 40 toys in 8 hours.

Key Concept: Proportionality in Time and Work

c) 6 days
[Solution Description]
Here, more workers imply less time (inverse proportion). Let $d$ be the required days. By inverse proportion rule:
$3 \times 10 = 5 \times d \implies d = \frac{3 \times 10}{5} = 6$
5 workers will take 6 days.

Key Concept: Cross Multiplication

c) 8 liters
[Solution Description]
Given: $pramāṇa = 5$, $phala = 20$, $ichchhā = 32$.
Using Āryabhaṭa's Rule of Three:
$ichchhāphala = \frac{phala \times ichchhā}{pramāṇa} = \frac{20 \times 32}{5} = 128$
Therefore, 8 liters are needed.

Key Concept: Rule of Three, Proportionality

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that doubling the pramāṇa halves the ichchhāphala when the phala and ichchhā are unchanged. The formula provided in the reason confirms this relationship as $ichchhāphala$ is inversely proportional to $pramāṇa$. Hence, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.

Key Concept: Rule of Three, Mixed Numbers

c) 30 liters
[Solution Description]
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: Pramāṇa = $\frac{13}{4}$ kg, Phala = $\frac{15}{2}$ liters, Ichchhā = 13 kg. Using the Rule of Three:
$ichchhāphala = \frac{phala \times ichchhā}{pramāṇa} = \frac{\frac{15}{2} \times 13}{\frac{13}{4}} = \frac{195/2}{13/4} = \frac{195 \times 4}{2 \times 13} = \frac{780}{26} = 30 \text{ liters}$

b) \$2500 and \$1500
[Solution Description]
Investment ratio = 50000 : 30000 = 5:3
Total parts = 5 + 3 = 8
Size of each part = $4000 \div 8 = 500$
First partner's profit = $5 \times 500 = \$2500$
Second partner's profit = $3 \times 500 = \$1500$.

Key Concept: Dividing quantities in a given ratio

c) \$500 and \$750
[Solution Description]
To divide \$1,250 in the ratio 4:6:
1. Total parts = 4 + 6 = 10.
2. Value of each part = \$1,250 / 10 = \$125.
3. First friend's share = 4 $\times$ \$125 = \$500.
4. Second friend's share = 6 $\times$ \$125 = \$750.
So, the shares are \$500 and \$750.

Key Concept: Dividing quantities in a given ratio

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
To solve this, let's analyze the assertion and reason step by step.
1. The assertion states that for a ratio $3 : 5$, the larger part is $\frac{5}{8}$ of the total quantity. This is correct because:
Total parts = $3 + 5 = 8$.
Larger part corresponds to $5$ parts, so its fraction is $\frac{5}{8}$.
2. The reason claims that for any ratio $m : n$ where $n > m$, the larger part is $\frac{n}{m + n}$. This is also correct mathematically. However, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion because it generalizes the concept but doesn't directly justify why the specific case ($3 : 5$) holds true.
Therefore, both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Assertion-Reason

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that to divide \Rs.5,000 in the ratio $3 : 2$, we use the formula $\frac{x}{m + n}$.
The Reason explains that the formula $\frac{x}{m + n}$ helps find the size of each part when dividing a quantity in a given ratio.
Here, both Assertion and Reason are true. However, while the formula $\frac{x}{m + n}$ is indeed used to find the size of one part, it alone does not fully explain how the division is done in the ratio $3 : 2$. The complete process involves multiplying this value by the respective ratio terms ($3$ and $2$). Hence, the Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion.

Key Concept: Dividing quantities in a given ratio

b) 100 mL

Key Concept: Adjusting Mixture Ratio

c) 45 liters
[Solution Description]
Current ratio is 4:5, total parts = $4 + 5 = 9$.
Water = $\frac{4}{9} \times 180 = 80$ liters.
Milk = $\frac{5}{9} \times 180 = 100$ liters.
Let $x$ be the extra water added for new ratio 5:4.
New equation: $\frac{80 + x}{100} = \frac{5}{4}$.
Solving, $4(80 + x) = 500 \implies 320 + 4x = 500 \implies 4x = 180 \implies x = 45$ liters.

d) No valid solution with given data
[Solution Description]
Let first class have $3x$ boys and $2x$ girls, total $5x$. Second class has $y$ boys and $y$ girls, total $2y$. Combined ratio $(3x + y):(2x + y) = 2:1$. Solving gives $3x + y = 4x + 2y \Rightarrow x = -y$. Negative values not possible, hence scenario invalid without additional constraints.

Key Concept: Profit Sharing

c) \Rs.7,200
[Solution Description]
To divide \Rs.12,000 in the ratio 2:3:
Total parts = 2 + 3 = 5.
Each part = $\frac{12000}{5} = 2400$.
Second partner's share = $3 \times 2400 = \Rs.7,200$.

Key Concept: Profit Sharing and Ratio Application

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
To verify the assertion, we calculate the shares of A and B using the given ratio 5:3. The total profit is \Rs.12,000. The total parts of the ratio are 5 + 3 = 8. Each part corresponds to \Rs.12,000 / 8 = \Rs.1,500. Partner A's share is 5 × \Rs.1,500 = \Rs.7,500, which matches the Assertion. The Reason correctly explains the method used to calculate the shares, as it describes the formula where the total profit is multiplied by the individual ratio divided by the sum of ratio parts.
Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Profit sharing, Ratio division

c) Rs.15,000 and Rs.9,000
[Solution Description]
The investment ratio is 5:3. Total parts = 5 + 3 = 8.
Each part of profit = $\frac{24000}{8} = Rs.3,000$.
Prashanti's share = $5 \times 3000 = Rs.15,000$.
Bhuvan's share = $3 \times 3000 = Rs.9,000$.

Key Concept: Profit sharing and ratio application

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
To verify the assertion, we calculate the shares using the given ratio 3:2. Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5. Partner A's share = $\frac{3}{5} \times 10000 = 6000$. Partner B's share = $\frac{2}{5} \times 10000 = 4000$. Thus, the assertion is true. The reason correctly states the methodology for dividing the profit based on the ratio, but it does not specifically explain why Partner A gets \Rs.6,000; it states the general method.

Key Concept: Temperature Conversion

c) $35^\circ C$
[Solution Description]
Use the formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion:
$\text{Celsius} = \frac{5}{9} \times (\text{Fahrenheit} - 32)$
Substitute $95^\circ F$:
$\text{Celsius} = \frac{5}{9} \times (95 - 32) = \frac{5}{9} \times 63 = 35^\circ C$
The temperature is $35^\circ C$.

First, calculate the area of the plot in square feet: $300 \text{ ft} \times 600 \text{ ft} = 180,000 \text{ sq ft}$.
Convert this to acres using the given conversion factor ($1 \text{ acre} = 43,560 \text{ sq ft}$).
Divide the total area by the number of square feet in an acre: $\frac{180,000}{43,560} \approx 4.132 \text{ acres}$.
Multiply this by the manure rate per acre: $4.132 \times 5 = 20.66 \text{ tonnes}$.
The farmer needs approximately 20.66 tonnes of manure.

Key Concept: Unit Conversion - Length

c) 32.81 feet
[Solution Description]
Using the conversion factor: $1 \text{ metre} = 3.281 \text{ feet}$. To convert 10 metres to feet:
$10 \text{ metres} \times 3.281 \text{ feet/metre} = 32.81 \text{ feet}$
Hence, 10 metres is equal to 32.81 feet.

Key Concept: Area Conversion

b) 1.67 hectares
[Solution Description]
First, calculate the area in square feet:
$300 \, \text{ft} \times 600 \, \text{ft} = 180{,}000 \, \text{sq ft}$
Convert square feet to square metres using $1 \, \text{sq m} = 10.764 \, \text{sq ft}$:
$\frac{180{,}000}{10.764} = 16{,}722.5 \, \text{sq m}$
Now, convert square metres to hectares using $1 \, \text{hectare} = 10{,}000 \, \text{sq m}$:
$\frac{16{,}722.5}{10{,}000} = 1.67225 \, \text{hectares}$
The area is approximately 1.67 hectares.

Key Concept: Area conversion, Temperature conversion

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
To verify the assertion, we need to convert 1 hectare to square feet.
Step 1: We know that 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters (from syllabus).
Step 2: Using the conversion factor, 1 square meter = 10.764 square feet.
Step 3: So, 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters × 10.764 square feet/square meter = 107,640 square feet.
The assertion states 107,639 square feet, which is not equal to 107,640 square feet (difference of 1 square foot). So, the Assertion is false.
However, the Reason statement about the conversion factor is correct as per the syllabus.

Key Concept: Unit Conversions - Temperature

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
Assertion (A) states that $32^\circ F$ is equal to $0^\circ C$, which is true as per the given conversion in the syllabus. Reason (R) provides the correct formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, which is also true. However, Reason (R) does not explain why $32^\circ F$ is equal to $0^\circ C$. Thus, both are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Volume

b) 5,000,000 cubic centimeters
[Solution Description]
Convert liters to milliliters first:
$1 \text{ L} = 1000 \text{ mL}$.
So, $5000 \text{ L} = 5000 \times 1000 \text{ mL} = 5,000,000 \text{ mL}$.
Since $1 \text{ mL} = 1 \text{ cc}$, the volume in cubic centimeters is also $5,000,000 \text{ cc}$.

Key Concept: Length, Area

b) 16146 square feet
[Solution Description]
First, calculate the area in square meters:
$Area = Length \times Width = 50 m \times 30 m = 1500 \text{ m}^2$.
Now, convert square meters to square feet using the conversion factor:
$1 \text{ m}^2 = 10.764 \text{ ft}^2$
So, $1500 \text{ m}^2 \times 10.764 \text{ ft}^2/\text{m}^2 = 16146 \text{ ft}^2$.

Key Concept: Work Rate Conversion

b) 30 hours
[Solution Description]
First, calculate the time taken by the oxen for 20 acres: $20 \times 6 = 120\,\text{hours}$. Since the tractor is 4 times faster, its time is:
$\text{Tractor's time} = \frac{120}{4} = 30\,\text{hours}$

Key Concept: Mass Ratio, Unit Consistency

c) 17.5 kg
[Solution Description]
Given the mass ratio of gold to water as $37 : 2$, and the mass of $1$ litre of water is $1$ kg. Let the mass of $1$ litre of gold be $m$.
From the ratio:
$\frac{m}{1 \text{ kg}} = \frac{37}{2} \Rightarrow m = \frac{37}{2} \text{ kg} = 18.5 \text{ kg}$
The difference in mass between gold and water is:
$18.5 \text{ kg} - 1 \text{ kg} = 17.5 \text{ kg}$
So, the difference is $17.5$ kg.

First, convert the tank volume from liters to milliliters:
$15 \text{ L} \times 1,000 \text{ mL/L} = 15,000 \text{ mL}$
Next, find the time taken using the given rate:
$\frac{25 \text{ s}}{750 \text{ mL}} \times 15,000 \text{ mL} = 500 \text{ s}$
Convert seconds to minutes:
$\frac{500 \text{ s}}{60 \text{ s/min}} \approx 8.333 \text{ min}$

Key Concept: Mass and Volume Conversion

a) 18.5 kg
[Solution Description]
Given the mass ratio of gold to water is $37 : 2$ for equal volumes. Since 1 litre of water has a mass of 1 kg, the mass of 1 litre of gold is calculated as:
$\text{Mass of gold} = \frac{37}{2} \times 1\,\text{kg} = 18.5\,\text{kg}$
