3. If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4, then the difference between the greatest and the
smallest angle is ______.
By angle sum property, sum of all the angles in the triangle will be 180°.
Let the angles be 2x, 3x and 4x degrees.
2x + 3x + 4x = 180 9x = 180 x = 20°.
Required difference = (4 × 20) - (2 × 20) = 80 - 40 = 40°.
4. The ratio of ages of a girl to a boy is 3 : 2. If after 10 years, there ratio of ages will be 11 : 9, then
find their present ages.
Let the age of the girl be 3x years and boy is 2x years.
According to the question, we have
3𝑥+10 11
=
2𝑥+10 9
9 (3x + 10) = 11 (2x + 10) (cross multiplying)
27x + 90 = 22x + 110 (removing brackets)
27x - 22x = 110 - 90 (combining like terms)
5x = 20 x = 4
∴ Present age of girl = (3 × 4) years = 12 years.
∴ Present age of boy = (2 × 4) years = 8 years.

∴ Shaded area = 225 cm 2 - 54 cm2 = 171 cm2
9. The given figure shows a circular path formed when a smaller circle is fitted into a bigger circle as
shown. If the ratio of radii (plural of radius) of bigger circle to smaller circle is 3 : 1, and area of the
path is 1232 m2, then find the circumference of the inner circle.

B A
Q
Area of the figure = (32 × 20) cm2 = 640 cm2 ....(1)
Now, P, Q, R and S are midpoints of XA, AB, BC and CX. ....(2)
Also, CX = BA, and CB = XA. ....(3)
SC = BQ = SX = QA and CR = RB = PA = PX
SC = 32 ÷ 2 = 16 and CR = 20 ÷ 2 = 10.
Also, SCR = SXP = PAQ = BRQ (from 2 and 3)
Area of triangle SCR = 1/2 × 16 × 10 = 80 cm2
Therefore, shaded area
= Area of triangle - Area of 4 squares
= 640 cm2 - 320 cm2 = 320 cm2
