Solution:
Question 6.
1. 1/3 part of how many rupees is ₹ 4?
Solution:
Let the whole of the money be 1.
∴ 1/3 part of the whole of the money = ₹ 4
∴ whole of the money = ₹(4 ÷ 1/3)
= ₹ (4 x 3/1)
= ₹ 12.
Alternative Method:
Let the required money be ₹ x
Then 1/3 part of ₹ x = ₹ 4
∴ 1/3 x x = 4
or, x/3 = 4
or, x = 4 x 3
= 12
∴ The required money = ₹ 12.
2. 1/6 part of how many minutes are 6 minutes?

Solution: It is clear that 1/3 part of sakuntala’s mangoes in the basket = 7
Total number of mangoes in the basket of Sakuntala
= 7 ÷ 1/3
= 7 x 3/1
= 21
∴ Sakluntala had 21 mangoes originally in her basket.
Question 8. How much money is to be taken from 1/2 part of ₹ 150 so that there will remain only ₹ 30?
Solution:
1/2 part of ₹ 150
= ₹ (1/2 x 150)
= ₹ 75
We have to find the amount of money that can be taken from ‘? 75 so that there will remain ₹ 30.
∴ The required amount of money = ₹ (75 – 30)
= ₹ 45.
∴ ₹ 45 is to be taken from 1/2 part of ₹ 150 so that there will remain ₹ 30.
Question 9. What is to be added to 3 times of 6/7 to get 2 6/7?
Solution: 3 times of 6/7
= 3 x 6/7
= 18/7
2 6/7 = 20/7
We have to find the value which is to be added to 18/7 so that the sum will be 2 6/7 or 20/7.
∴ The required value = 20/7 – 18/7
= 2/7
2/7 is to be added to 3 times of 6/7 to get 2 6/7
Question 10. 1400 visitors came in the first year in an occasion of the town. The number of visitors in the next year increased by 7/10 part of the first year. What was the total number of visitors in the next year?
Solution:
Total number of visitors in the first year = 1400.
∴ 7/10 part of 1400
= 7/10 x 1400
= 980
So the number of visitors increases in the next year = 980 than the first year.
∴ Total number of visitors in the next year = 1400 + 980
= 2380.
The total number of visitors in the next year = 2380.
Question 11. You had no stamps and Madhabi gave you 2/3 part of the stamps as many stamps had with her at first and as a result of which you had only 18 stamps. How many stamps had Madhabi with her at first?

∴ 2/3 parts of the stamps of Madhabi =18
So Madhabi’s total number of stamps = (18 ÷ 2/3)
Madhabi had 27 stamps with her.
Question 12. Ram gave 2/5 part of his money to Shyam and 3/10 part of his money to Jadu. If he has ₹ 180 left with him, how much money Ram had at the beginning?
Solution: Let the total money of Ram = be 1 part.
∴ Ram gave Shyam 2/5 part of his money and 3/10 part of his money to Jadu
∴ Shyam and Jadu together received (2/5 + 3/10)
= 4+3 / 10
= 7/10 part of Ram’s total money.
∴ The remaining part of ram’s money after giving to Shyam and jadu
= (1 – 7/10)
= 10-7 / 10 part
= 3/10 part
∴ 3/10 part of Ram’s total money = ₹ 180
∴ Ram’s total money what had at the beginning
= ₹ (180 ÷ 3/10)
= ₹ (180 x 10/3)
= ₹ 600
₹ 600 Ram had at the beginning.
Question 13. Your father brought 10 liters of drinking water from the nearest tubewell and from it, your mother used 1/5 part of the water for cooking. 1/4 part of the remaining water had been used for drinking purposes. How much water still was left?
Solution Total amount of drinking water brought = 10 liters.
Let the total amount of water = 1 part
Mother used for cooking = 1/5 part
Remaining part = 1 – 1/5
= 5-1 / 5
= 4/5
Water used for drinking = 1- 1/5
= 5-1 / 5
= 4/5
Water used for drinking = (4/5 x 1/4) part ⅕ part
Remaining part of total water = 4/5 – 4/5
= 4-1 /5
= 3/5 part
∴ Remaining water = (3/5 x 10) = 6 liters
∴ Still, 6 liters of water was left.
Question 14. A bucket holds 1/2 liter of water. How much water 7 such buckets can hold?
Solution: One bucket can hold = 1/2 liter of water
∴ 7 buckets can hold = (1/2 x7)
= 3.5 liters of water
∴ 7 buckets can hold 3.5 liters of water.

Question 15. If the length of the 7/8 part of a ribbon is 56 meters, then what is the length of the original whole ribbon?
Solution: Let the length of the original whole ribbon = 1 part.
∴ The length of 7/8 part of the ribbon = 56 meters
∴ The length of 1 part of the ribbon = (56 ÷ 7/8) metres
= (56 x 8/7 ) metres
= 64 meters.
∴ The length of the original whole ribbon = is 64 meters.
Question 16. What is to be added to 5/7 of 1 1/2 to get the sum 4 3/5?
Solution:
5/7 of 1 1/2 = 5/7 x 1 1/2
= 5/7 x 3/2
= 15/14
We have to find what is to be added to 15/14 to get the sum 4 3/5.
∴ Required value = (4 3/5 – 15/14)
= 23/5 – 15/14
= 322 – 75 / 70
= 247/70
= 3 37/70
3 37/70 is to be added to 5/7 of 1 1/2 to get the sum 4 3/5

She put in a glass jar = 4/7 part.
∴ After putting the pickle in the glass jar, the remaining part of the pickle
= (1 – 4/7)
= 3/7 part
This part was divided among 6 boys and girls equally.
∴ Each got = (3/7 ÷ 6) part
= 1/14 part.
So each of the boys and girls got 1/14 part of the whole of the pickle.
Question 11. Rahim and his group have decided that they will construct 24 11/15 km of the road in 33 days. They have constructed 11/15 km of road each day for 25 days. If they are to finish the work in due time, at what rate will they work for the remaining work?
Solution: Rahim and his group have constructed 11/15 km of road each day.
.. In 25 days they already have constructed The rest of the road to be still constructed
11/15 x 25 = 55/3 km of the road.
= (24 11/15 – 55/3)km
= (371/15 – 55/3)km
= 371 – 275 / 15 km
= 96/15 km.
This 96/15 km of the road is to be constructed in the remaining (33 – 25)
= 8 days.
∴ They are to construct each day at the rate of (96/15 ÷ 8)
= 4/5 km of the road
∴ To finish the construction work of the road in due time the rate of work done by them for the remaining days = 4/5 km.

He gave 1/6 part of the remaining property to his wife and the rest of the property was divided equally between his two sons. What part of the whole of the property was given to his wife and to each of his two sons?
Solution: Let the whole of the property of Debkumarbabu = 1 part.
He donated 1/4 part of his property to the local library.
.. The remaining part of the property after donation to the local library
= (1 – 1/4) part
= 3/4 part
.. His wife received = (1/6 of 3/4 )part
= 1/8 part of the property.
Remaining property = 3/4 – 1/8
= 6-1 / 8
= 5/8 part
This part was divided between the two sons equally.5
∴ Each son received = (5/8 ÷ 2) part
= (5/8 x 1/2) part
= 5/16 part.
∴ Debkumarbabu gave 1/8 part to his wife and 5/16 part of his property to each son.
Question 14. Ajoy has bought (5/7 of 14/25) part of a property and he has sold 1/2 part of his property for ₹10000. What is the value of the whole property?
Solution: Let the whole property = 1 part.
∴ The property of Ajoy = (5/7 of 14/25) part
= 2/5 part of the whole property.
Again Ajoy sold 1/2 part of his property.
∴ Ajoy sold (1/2 of 2/5) part
= 1/5 part of the whole property.
∴ The value of 1/5 part of the whole property = ₹ 10,000
∴ The value of the whole property = ₹(10000 ÷ 1/5)
= ₹(10000 x 5/1)
= ₹ 50000
∴ The value of the whole property = ₹ 50000.

Solution: Let the total distance of Surbabu’s house to the station = be 1 part.
∴ The part of the total distance traveled by bus and on foot = (1/8 + 11/16) part
= 13/16 part
∴ Remaining part of the distance = 1 – 13/16
= 16-13/16 part
= 3/16 part
This part of the distance was traveled by autorickshaw. But total distance = 14 2/3 km.
∴ Surbabu traveled by autorickshaw = (14 2/3 x 3/16)km.
= 11/4 km
= 2 3/4 km.
2 3/4 km distance that he travel by autorickshaw.
