1. Problem 4a: Cost of 5 books and 10 copies are the same. Cost of 10 books and 20 copies is 3000. Find cost of 10 books.
2. Let cost of 1 book = $b$ and cost of 1 copy = $c$.
3. Given: Cost of 5 books = Cost of 10 copies
$$5b = 10c \implies b = 2c$$
4. Also, cost of 10 books and 20 copies = 3000
$$10b + 20c = 3000$$
5. Substitute $b = 2c$ into the equation:
$$10(2c) + 20c = 3000$$
$$20c + 20c = 3000$$
$$40c = 3000$$
$$c = \frac{3000}{40} = 75$$
6. Find cost of 10 books:
$$10b = 10 \times 2c = 20c = 20 \times 75 = 1500$$
7. Final answer for 4a: Cost of 10 books = 1500.

8. Problem 4b: Cost of 3 pens = cost of 5 copies. Cost of 9 pens and 7 copies = 264. Find cost of 25 copies.
9. Let cost of 1 pen = $p$ and cost of 1 copy = $c$.
10. Given:
$$3p = 5c \implies p = \frac{5}{3}c$$
11. Cost of 9 pens and 7 copies:
$$9p + 7c = 264$$
12. Substitute $p = \frac{5}{3}c$:
$$9 \times \frac{5}{3}c + 7c = 264$$
$$15c + 7c = 264$$
$$22c = 264$$
$$c = \frac{264}{22} = 12$$
13. Cost of 25 copies:
$$25c = 25 \times 12 = 300$$
14. Final answer for 4b: Cost of 25 copies = 300.

15. Problem 5a: 500 people have provisions for 60 days. How many people should be added to finish provisions in 40 days?
16. Total provision = people $\times$ days = $500 \times 60 = 30000$ person-days.
17. Let $x$ be the number of people added.
18. New number of people = $500 + x$.
19. Provisions last 40 days:
$$(500 + x) \times 40 = 30000$$
20. Solve for $x$:
$$500 + x = \frac{30000}{40} = 750$$
$$x = 750 - 500 = 250$$
21. Final answer for 5a: 250 people should be added.

22. Problem 5b: 5 men finish work in 24 days. How many more men to finish in 15 days?
23. Total work = men $\times$ days = $5 \times 24 = 120$ man-days.
24. Let $y$ be men added.
25. New men = $5 + y$.
26. Work done in 15 days:
$$(5 + y) \times 15 = 120$$
27. Solve for $y$:
$$5 + y = \frac{120}{15} = 8$$
$$y = 8 - 5 = 3$$
28. Final answer for 5b: 3 more men should be added.

29. Problem 5c: 800 men have provisions for 120 days. How many men added to finish in 100 days?
30. Total provision = $800 \times 120 = 96000$ person-days.
31. Let $z$ be men added.
32. New men = $800 + z$.
33. Provisions last 100 days:
$$(800 + z) \times 100 = 96000$$
34. Solve for $z$:
$$800 + z = \frac{96000}{100} = 960$$
$$z = 960 - 800 = 160$$
35. Final answer for 5c: 160 men should be added.

36. Problem 5d: 200 students have provisions for 75 days. How many students should leave for provisions to last 125 days?
37. Total provision = $200 \times 75 = 15000$ person-days.
38. Let $w$ be students who leave.
39. New students = $200 - w$.
40. Provisions last 125 days:
$$(200 - w) \times 125 = 15000$$
41. Solve for $w$:
$$200 - w = \frac{15000}{125} = 120$$
$$w = 200 - 120 = 80$$
42. Final answer for 5d: 80 students should leave.

43. Problem 6a: If $\frac{3}{4}$ of income is 3000, find $\frac{1}{4}$ of income.
44. Let income = $I$.
45. Given:
$$\frac{3}{4}I = 3000$$
46. Find $\frac{1}{4}I$:
$$\frac{1}{4}I = \frac{3000}{3} = 1000$$
47. Final answer for 6a: $\frac{1}{4}$ of income = 1000.

48. Problem 6b: $\frac{1}{6}$ of ribbon = 42 cm. Find length of $\frac{1}{7}$ part.
49. Let length of ribbon = $L$.
50. Given:
$$\frac{1}{6}L = 42$$
51. Find $\frac{1}{7}L$:
$$L = 42 \times 6 = 252$$
$$\frac{1}{7}L = \frac{252}{7} = 36$$
52. Final answer for 6b: $\frac{1}{7}$ part = 36 cm.

53. Problem 6c: Supreme spends $\frac{1}{10}$ of income which is 10000. Find $\frac{3}{10}$ of income.
54. Let income = $I$.
55. Given:
$$\frac{1}{10}I = 10000$$
56. Find $\frac{3}{10}I$:
$$I = 10000 \times 10 = 100000$$
$$\frac{3}{10}I = 3 \times 10000 = 30000$$
57. Final answer for 6c: $\frac{3}{10}$ of income = 30000.
