Amina thinks of a number and subtracts 5/2 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?

If you subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2 you get 1/8 .what is the number?

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:6. If 8 is subtracted from each of the numbers, the ratio becomes 4 : 5. Find the numbers.

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?

A two digit number is obtained by either multiplying the sum of digits by 8 and then subtracting 5 or by multiplying the difference of digits by 16 and adding 3. Find the number.

A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product,you get -7/12 .What is the number?

The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 8.If the numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 1,the number obtained is 3/2.Find the rational number.

In a potato race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, which is 5m from the first potato, and the other potatoes are placed 3m apart in a straight line. There are ten potatoes in the line (fig.). A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest potato, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, runs back to pick up the nest potato, runs to the bucket to drop it in, and she continues in the same way until all the potatoes are in the bucket. What is the total distance the competitor has to run ? [Hint : To pick up the first potato and the second potato, the total distance (in metres) run by a competitor is 2 xx 5 + 2 xx (5 + 3) ]

Similarly subtract a fixed number from each and every term ofAP. Write the resulting numbers as a list.

Find a three digit numberwhose consecutive digits form a GP. If we subtract 792 from this number, we get a number consisting of the same digits written in the reverse order. Now, if we increase the second digit of the required number by 2, then the resulting digits will form an AP.
