18) The number of fish in a big pond was recorded as approximately 4200 in the year
2014. Due to some unsuitable climatic condition, there was a decrease of the number of
fish in the pond by 20% in the year 2015 and then the number increased by 30% in the
year 2016. Now, calculate the approximate number of fish after 2 years i.e., at the end of
the year 2016.
19) The price of a video game has decreased by 25% in one year. The price of the video
game in the recent year is Rs. 1350. Calculate the price of the video game one year ago.
20) A motor boat goes downstream and covers a distance sin 4 hours while it covers the
same distance upstream in 5 hours. If the speed of the stream is 3km / hr , find the speed of
the motor boat in still water.
21) The distance between 2 towns is 300 km. Two cars start simultaneously from these
towns and move towards each other. The speed of one car is more than the other by
7km/hr. If the distance between the car after 2 hours is 34 km, find the speed of the cars.
