Statement Sums involving Linear Equation: In these sums a certain situation is given we have to analyse the statement and then suppose a certain quantity. and will then try to identify a relation with the quantity we have supposed.
The procedure to translate a word problem in the form of an equation is known as the formulation of the problem. Thus, the process of solving a word problem consists of two parts, namely, formulation and solution.
The following steps should be followed to solve a word problem:
Step I Read the problem carefully and note what is given and what is required.
Step II Denote the unknown quantity by some letters, say x, y, z, etc.
Step III Translate the statements of the problem into mathematical statements.
Step IV Using the condition (s) given in the problem, form the equation
Step V Solve the equation for the unknown.
Step VI Check whether the solution satisfies the equation.
Example: The numerator of a fraction is 4 less than the denominatr. If 1 is added to both its numerator and denominator, it becomes 1/2. FInd the fraction.
Solution Let the denominator of the fraction be x. Then,
Numerator of the fraction = x - 4
Fraction
If 1 is added to both its numerator and denominator, the fraction becomes .
[ Using cross - multiplication]
Putting x = 7 in (i), we get
Fraction Hence, the given fraction is
Example : How much pure alcohol be added to 400 ml of a 15% solution to make its strength 32%?
Solution Let x ml pure alcohol be added to 400 ml of a 15% solution to make its strength 32%. Here, 15% solution means that there is 15 ml pure alcohol in a solution of 100 ml.
Now, Quantity of alcohol in 100 ml solution = 15 ml
Quantity of alcohol in one ml solution
Quantity of alcohol in 400 ml solution
Total quantity of the solution = (400 + x) ml
Total quantity of alcohol in (400 + x) ml solution = (60 + x) ml
Quantity of alcohol in one ml
Quantity of alcohol in 100 ml
Strength of the solution 100%
But, the strength of the solution is given as 32%.
[ Multiplying both sides by (400 + x)]
Thus, 100 ml alcohol must be added to make 32% strength of the solution.

Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.

Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
