5.Find the side of a rhombus,one of whose diagonals measures 12m and the other 9m
1)6.5m     2)8.5m            3)7.5m            4)8m               5)None of these. 


Answer
1.[3] 
Let there be X benches.
Number of students = 6 (x + 1 ) ;
Number of students  = (7X - 5 )
6(X + 1 ) = (7X - 5 ) => 6X + 6 = 7X - 5
X =11
Number of students = 6 (11+ 1 ) = 6*12=72

2.[2] Let the total  number of cows in the herd  be x
Then x/2 + x/4 + x/5 +7 = x => 10x + 5x +4x +140 = 20x
x = 140
the total  number of cows = 140

3.[1] Area of the base of circular pond
= πr'2 = 22/7 * 5*5 = 78.571 m
Area of the curved surface area of circular pond
= 2πr = 2*22/7*5*6 m
 = 188.571
cost of cementing the base and the curved surface = [78.57 + 188.57]  * 25
= Rs.6678.55

4[2]Area of all the four walls if a room = 2(length + breadth)* height
                                                       = 2(4+3)*6 = 84 
cost of painting = 70*84=Rs.5880.

5.[3]   side = ½√d₁² + d₂²)
         side of rhombus =     1/2 √144+81
                                      =  1/2√225 = 1/2 * 15 =7.5m
