(i)    Let the fraction be  

According to the question, 

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get: x = 3
Substituting this value of x in equation (1), we get : , y=5

therefore the fraction is 

(ii)  Let present age of Nuri and Sonu be x and y respectively.

According to the question,  .................(i)


Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get:
y = 20
Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we get: , x=50

Thus, the age of Nuri and Sonu are 50 years and 20 years respectively.

(iii)  Let the units digit and tens digit of the number be x and y respectively. 

Number = 10y + x
Number after reversing the digits = 10x + y

According to the question,
x + y = 9          ... (1)
9(10y + x) = 2(10x + y)
88y - 11x = 0
- x + 8y =0          ... (2)
Adding equations (1) and (2), we obtain:
9y = 9
y = 1
Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we obtain:
x = 8
Thus, the number is 10y + x = 10 x 1 + 8 = 18

(iv)  Let the number of Rs 50 notes and Rs 100 notes be x and y respectively.
According to the question, 

Multiplying equation (1) by 50, we obtain: 
50x + 50 y = 1250 
Subtracting equation (3) from equation (2), we obtain: 

50y = 750 
y = 15 

Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we obtain:
x = 10
Hence, Meena received 10 notes of Rs 50 and 15 notes of Rs 100. 

(v)    Let the fixed charge for first three days and each day charge thereafter be Rs x and Rs y respectively.
According to the question, 

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we obtain: 

2y = 6 
y = 3 

Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we obtain: 

x + 12 = 27 
x = 15 

Hence, the fixed charge is Rs 15 and the charge per day is Rs 3.
