1. Think of a number, add 2 to it and then multiply the sum by 6, the result is 42. Number = ?

Let the number be $ x $.
According to the problem:
$$
6(x + 2) = 42
$$

Divide both sides by 6:
$$
x + 2 = 7
$$

Subtract 2:
$$
x = 5
$$

✔ Answer: 5

4. If there are x rows of chairs and each row contains $ x^2 $ chairs. Determine the total number of chairs.

Total chairs = number of rows × chairs per row
$$
= x \times x^2 = x^3
$$

✔ Answer: $ x^3 $

5. The length of a rectangle is y times its breadth x. The area of the rectangle is

Breadth = $ x $
Length = $ y \times x = xy $

Area = length × breadth = $ xy \times x = x^2y $

✔ Answer: $ x^2y $

6. The length and breadth of a room are $ 3x^2y^3 $ and $ 6x^3y^2 $. Find its area.

Area = length × breadth
$$
= (3x^2y^3) \times (6x^3y^2)
$$

Multiply coefficients: $ 3 \times 6 = 18 $
Multiply variables:
- $ x^2 \times x^3 = x^{5} $
- $ y^3 \times y^2 = y^{5} $

So, area = $ 18x^5y^5 $

✔ Answer: $ 18x^5y^5 $

7. What is the value of $ x + x + x + \ldots $ (y times)?

Adding $ x $, $ y $ times = $ y \times x = xy $

✔ Answer: $ xy $

8. A chair costs ₹x. The cost of $ x^2y $ chairs is = ₹ ___

Cost of 1 chair = ₹x
Cost of $ x^2y $ chairs = $ x \times x^2y = x^3y $

✔ Answer: ₹ $ x^3y $

9. A man spends ₹x per week. The total money spent by him in $ xy^2 $ weeks is = ₹ ___

Money spent per week = ₹x
Number of weeks = $ xy^2 $
Total money = $ x \times xy^2 = x^2y^2 $

✔ Answer: ₹ $ x^2y^2 $
