95.Ans.(c)
Sol. Let the number = 10x + y
(10x+y)/(10y+x)=4/7
70x + 7y = 40y + 4x
x/y=1/2
Number of all such pairs = (12, 21), (24, 42), (36, 63), (48, 84)
Sum = 12 + 21 + 24 + 42 + 36 + 63 + 48 + 84
= 330
96.Ans.(b)
Sol. Total population of town =15x
(Number of males)/(Number of females)=7/8
∴ Number of males and females = 7x and 8x
Number of male children = 25% of 7x
= 25/100×7x=1.75x
Number of adult females = 8x – 1.6x = 6.4x
⇒6.4x=235200
⇒x=235200/6.4=36750
∴ Total population of town = 15×36750
=551250
