The kidneys are the main organs of the urinary system. Their primary function is to filter the blood to remove waste products and excess water, which are then excreted from the body as urine. The liver has many metabolic functions, the lungs are for respiration, and the stomach is for digestion.

5. If the price of sugar increases from Rs. 50 to Rs. 60 per kg, what is the percentage increase?

✓ 20%

Increase = 60 - 50 = 10. Percentage = (10/50) × 100 = 20%.

6. Five boxes, P, Q, R, S, and T, are of different weights. R is heavier than only T. P is heavier than S but lighter than Q. Which of the following boxes is the heaviest?

✓ Q

The statement 'R is heavier than only T' establishes that T is the lightest and R is the second lightest (T < R). The statement 'P is heavier than S but lighter than Q' gives the order S < P < Q. Since R is only heavier than T, the other three boxes (Q, P, S) must all be heavier than R. This combines to give the complete order: T < R < S < P < Q. Therefore, Q is the heaviest.
