Is the sum of the measures of the four angles of the quadrilateral equal to the sum of the measures of the six angles of the two triangles? Verity that this is so with other quadrilaterals. (Textbook pg. no. 84)
Solution:
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 16 Quadrilaterals Practice Set 37 3
m∠PQR = 104°
m∠QRP = 26°
m∠RPQ = 50°
m∠PRS = 34°
m∠RSP = 106°
m∠SPR = 40°
∴ Sum of the measures of the angles of quadrilateral = m∠PQR + m∠QRP + m∠RPQ + m∠PRS + m∠RSP + m∠SPR
= 104° + 26° + 50° + 34° + 106° + 40°
= 360°
Also, we observe that
Sum of the measures of the angles of quadrilateral = Sum of the measures of angles of the two triangles (PQR and PRS)
= (104°+ 26°+ 50°)+ (34° + 106° + 40°)
= 180° + 180°
= 360°

Std 6 Maths Practice Set 32 Solutions Answers

Question 1.
From a wholesaler, Santosh bought 400 eggs for Rs 1500 and spent Rs 300 on transport. 50 eggs fell down and broke. He sold the rest at Rs 5 each. Did he make a profit or a loss? How much?
Solution:
Cost price of 400 eggs = Rs 1500
Transportation cost = Rs 300
∴ Total cost price of 400 eggs = Cost price of 400 eggs + Transportation cost
= 1500 + 300 = Rs 1800
50 eggs fell and broke
∴ Remaining eggs = 400 – 50 = 350
Selling price of 1 egg = Rs 5
∴ Selling price of 350 eggs = 5 x 350 = Rs 1750
Total cost price is greater than the selling price.
∴ Santosh suffered a loss.
Loss = Total cost price – Selling price
= 1800 – 1750
= Rs 50
∴ Santosh incurred a loss of Rs 50.

Question 2.
Abraham bought goods worth Rs 50000 and spent Rs 7000 on transport and octroi. If he sold the goods for Rs 65000, did he make a profit or a loss? How much?
Solution:
Cost price of goods = Rs 50000
Transportation cost and octroi = Rs 7000
∴ Total cost price for buying goods = Cost price of goods + Transportation cost and octroi
= 50000 + 7000 = Rs 57000
Selling price of goods = Rs 65000
Selling price is greater than the total cost price
∴ Abraham made a profit.
Profit = Selling price – Total cost price
= 65000 – 57000
= Rs 8000
∴ Abraham made a profit of Rs 8000.

Question 3.
Ajit Kaur bought a 50 kg sack of sugar for Rs 1750, but as sugar prices fell, she had to sell it at Rs 32 per kg. How much loss did she incur?
Solution:
Cost price of 50 kg sugar = Rs 1750
Selling price of 1 kg sugar = Rs 32
∴ Selling price of 50 kg sugar = 50 x 32 = Rs 1600
Loss = Total cost price – Selling price
= 1750 – 1600 = Rs 150
∴ Ajit Kaur incurred a loss of Rs 150.

Question 4.
Kusumtai bought 80 cookers at Rs 700 each. Transport cost her Rs 1280. If she wants a profit of Rs 18000, what should be the selling price per cooker?
Solution:
Cost price of one cooker = Rs 700
∴ Cost price of 80 cookers = 700 x 80 = Rs 56000
Transportation cost = Rs 1280
∴ Total cost price = Cost price of 80 cookers + Transportation cost
= 56000 + 1280
= Rs 57280
Profit = Rs 18000
Profit = Selling Price – Total Cost Price
∴ Required selling price = Total cost price + profit
= 57280 + 18000
= Rs 75280
∴ Selling price of 80 cookers = Rs 75280
∴ Selling price of 1 cooker = \(\frac { 75280 }{ 80 }\) = Rs 941
∴ The selling price per cooker should be Rs 941.

Question 5.
Indrajit bought 10 refrigerators at Rs 12000 each and spent Rs 5000 on transport. For how much should he sell each refrigerator in order to make a profit of Rs 20000?
Solution:
Cost price of 1 refrigerator = Rs 12000
Cost price of 10 refrigerator = 10 x 12000 = Rs 120000
Transportation cost = Rs 5000
∴ Total cost price of 10 refrigerators = Cost price of 10 refrigerators + Transportation cost
= 120000 + 5000 = Rs 125000
Profit = Rs 20000
Profit = Selling Price – Total Cost Price
∴ Required selling price = Total cost price + Profit
= 125000 + 20000 = Rs 145000
∴ Selling price of 10 refrigerators = Rs 145000
∴ Selling price of 1 refrigerator = \(\frac { 145000 }{ 10 }\) = Rs 14500
∴ Indrajit must sell each refrigerator at Rs 14500 to make a profit of Rs 20000.

Question 6.
Lalitabai sowed seeds worth Rs 13700 in her field. She had to spend Rs 5300 on fertilizers and spraying pesticides and Rs 7160 on labor. If, on selling her produce, she earned Rs 35400 what was her profit or her loss?
Solution:
Cost price of seeds = Rs 13700
Cost of fertilizers and pesticides = Rs 5300
Labor cost = Rs 7160
∴ Total cost price = Cost price of seeds + Cost of fertilizers and pesticides + Labor cost
= 13700 + 5300 + 7160
= Rs 26160
Selling price = Rs 35400
Selling price is greater than the total cost price.
∴ Lalitabai made a profit.
Profit = Selling price – Cost price
= 35400 – 26160
= Rs 9240
∴ Lalitabai made a profit of Rs 9240.

Question 1.
At Diwali, in a certain school, the students undertook a Design a Diya project. They bought 1000 diyas for Rs 1000 and some paint for Rs 200. To bring the diyas to the school, they spent Rs 100 on transport. They sold the painted lamps at Rs 2 each. Did they make a profit or incur a loss? (Textbook pg. no. 67 and 68)
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Profit-Loss Practice Set 32 1
i. Is Anju right?
ii. What about the money spent on paints and transport?
iii. How much money was actually spent before the diyas could be sold?
iv. How much actual profit was made in this project of colouring the diyas and selling them?
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 13 Profit-Loss Practice Set 32 2
Ans:
i. No, Anju is wrong.
Cost price of diyas also includes the painting and transportation cost.
∴ Total cost price of diyas = Cost of diyas + Cost of paint + Transportation cost
= 1000 + 200+ 100
= Rs 1300
ii. The cost of paint was Rs 200 and that for transportation was Rs 100. These costs are also to be added to the cost price of diyas.
iii. Rs 1300 was actually spent before the diyas could be sold.
iv. Total Cost Price of 1000 Diyas = Rs 1300
Selling Price of 1 Diya = Rs 2
∴ Selling Price of 1000 Diyas = 2 x 1000 = Rs 2000
∴ Profit = Selling Price – Total Cost Price
= 2000 – 1300
= Rs 700
∴ The profit made by coloring the diyas and selling them was Rs 700.

Question 2.

Question 1.
In the above construction, why must the distance in the compass be kept constant? (Textbook pg. no. 90)
Solution:
The point N is at equal distance from points P and Q.
If we change the distance of the compass while drawing arcs from points P and Q, we will not get a point which is at equal distance from P and Q. Hence, the distance in the compass must be kept constant.

Question 2.
The Perpendicular Bisector. (Textbook pg. no. 90)
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 17 Geometrical Constructions Practice Set 40 10

  1. A wooden ‘yoke’ is used for pulling a bullock cart. How is the position of the yoke determined?
  2. To do that, a rope is used to measure equal distances from the spine/midline of the bullock cart. Which geometrical property is used here?
  3. Find out from the craftsmen or from other experienced persons, why this is done.

Solution:

  1. For the bullock cart to be pulled in the correct direction by the yoke, its Centre O should be equidistant from the either sides of the cart.
  2. The property of perpendicular bisector is used to make the point equidistant from both the ends
  3. A rope is used just like a compass to get equal distances from the spine/midline of bullock cart.

Question 3.
Take a rectangular sheet of paper. Fold the paper so that the lower edge of the paper falls on its top edge, and fold it over again from right to left. Observe the two folds that have formed on the . paper. Verify that each fold is a perpendicular bisector of the other. Then measure the following distances. (Textbook pg. no. 91)

v. l(YA)
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 17 Geometrical Constructions Practice Set 40 11
You will observe that l(XP) = l(YP), l(XA) = l(YA) and l(XB) = l(YB)
Therefore we can conclude that all points on the vertical fold (perpendicular bisector) are equidistant from the endpoints of the horizontal fold.

Question 1.
When constructing a building, what is the method used to make sure that a wall is exactly upright? What does the mason in the picture have in his hand? What do you think is his purpose for using it? (Textbook pg. no. 87)
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 17 Geometrical Constructions Practice Set 39 8
Solution:
When constructing a building, a weight (usually with a pointed tip at the bottom) suspended from a string called as plummet or plump bob is aligned from the top of the wall to make sure that the wall is built exactly upright.
The mason in the picture is holding a plumb bob.
The string of the plumb bob is suspended from the top of the wall, such that plumb bob hangs freely. By observing whether the vertical wall is parallel to the string we can check if the constructed wall is vertical.

Question 2.
Have you looked at lamp posts on the roadside? How do they stand? (Textbook pg. no. 87)
Solution:
The lamp posts on the road side are standing erect or vertical.

Question 3.
For the above explained construction, why must we take a distance greater than half of the length of AB? What will happen if we take a smaller distance? (Textbook pg. no. 88)
Solution:
For the above construction, in step-3 we take distance greater than half of the length of AB, so that the arcs drawn by keeping the compass on points A and B intersect each other at point Q.
If the distance in compass is less than half of the length of AB, then the arcs drawn by keeping the compass at A and B will not intersect each other.
