“Three times a number x is equal to 12 less than twice the number y.”
Solution:
The Mathematical form using literals,
numbers and the signs of basic operations of three times

Question 12.
If the area of a rectangular plot is 240 sq. m and its breadth is 12 m, then find the perimeter of the plot.
Solution:
Area of plot = 240 sq. m
Length (l) = ?
Breadth (b) = 12 m
We know that,
Area = l × b
⇒ l = \(\frac{240}{12}\)
⇒ l = 20
∴ Length = 20
Now, Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 2(20 + 12) = 2(32) = 64 m

(ii) What is the number of students who travel either by cycle or walking?
(iii) What are the advantages of using school bus as mode of transport?
(iv) What mode of transport would you suggest and why?
Solution:
(i) The most popular mode of transport is school bus.
(ii) The number of students travel by cycle = 3
The number of students travel by walking = 7
Hence, total number of students who travel
either by cycle or walking = 3 + 7=10 students
(iii) Reach school in time, saves energy (diesel/petrol), more safe.
(iv) School Bus [reason (iii)] because it is the most safest mode to travel.

Question 27.
The cost of cultivating a rectangular field at the rate of ₹5 per square metre is ₹2880. If the length of the field is 32 m, find the cost of fencing the field at the rate of ₹11.25 per metre.
Solution:
Total cost of cultivating the rectangular = ₹2880
Rate of cultivating = ₹5 per sq. m
∴ Area of field = \(\frac{2880}{5}\) = 576 m2
Now, length of the field (l) = 32 m
∴ Breadth = \(\frac{\text { Area }}{\text { Length }}=\frac{576}{32}\) = 18 cm
Now, circumference of the field = 2(l + b) = 2(32 + 18) = 100 m
Rate of fencing = ₹11.25 per m
∴ Total cost = ₹11.25 × 100 = ₹1125
