Q 1 - The arrangement of x/2+ y/9 = 11 and x/3 + y/6 =9 are:
Answer : C
Explanation
The given equations are 9x+ 2y = 198...(i) 2x+y =54...(iii) On multiplying (ii) by 2 and subtracting it from (i), we get: 5x= 90 ⇒x= 18 Putting x=18 in (ii), we get: 36+y = 54 ⇒y = 18 ∴x = 18, y= 18
Q 2 - On solving 4/x+5y=7 and 3/x+4y =5 we, get:
Answer : C
Explanation
Given equations are 4/x+5 y= 7 ...(i) 3/x+4y = 5 ...(ii) On multiplying (i) by 3, (ii) by 4 and subtracting, we get -y =1 ⇒y= -1 Putting y= -1 in (i), we get 4/x-5 = 7 ⇒4/x= 12 ⇒12x= 4 ⇒x= 1/3 ∴x= 1/3, y= -1
Answer : A
Explanation
Clearly x= 5 and y= ℏ satisfies 2x+y- 6 = 0 ∴ 2*5+ ℏ-6= 0 ⇒ 10+ℏ- 6= 0 ⇒ℏ+4= 0 ⇒ ℏ= -4
Q 4 - If x/4 + y/3= 5/12 and x/2+ y =1, then the estimation of (x+y) is:
Answer : C
Explanation
Given equations are 3x+4y= 5 ...(i) and x+2y =2 ...(ii) On multiplying (ii) by 3 and subtracting (i) from it, we get 2y = 1 ⇒y = 1/2 Putting y = 1/2 in (ii), we get x+2*1/2 = 2 ⇒x+1= 2 ⇒x =1 ∴(x+y ) = (1+1/2 ) = 3/2
Q 5 - The arrangement of 3x-y+1/3 = 2x+y+2/5 = 3x+2y+1/6 are given by:
Answer : C
Explanation
We have (3x-y+1)/3= (2x+y+2)/5 ⇒5 (3x-y+1) =3(2x+y+2) ⇒15x-5y+5 = 6x+3y+6 ⇒9x-8y -1 = 0 ⇒9x-8y = 1 ...(i) And (2x+y+2)/5 = (3x+2y+1)/6 ⇒ 6 (2x+y+2) = 5(3x+2y+1) ⇒12x+6y +12= 15x+10 y+5 ⇒3x+ 4y= 7...(ii) Multiplying (ii) by 2 and adding (i) to it, we get: 15x= 15 ⇒x= 1 Putting x =1 in .., (ii), we get 3*1+4y= 7 ⇒4y = 4 ⇒y = 1 ∴ x= 1, y = 1
Q 6 - On the off chance that 4x+6y =32 and 4x-2y= 4, then 8y =?
Answer : D
Explanation
4x+6y = 32...(i) 4x-2y = 4...(ii) On subtracting (ii) from (i), we get: 8 y= 28
Q 7 - The arrangement of 2x+3y=2 and 3x+2y =2 can be spoken to by a point in the direction plane in:
Answer : A
Explanation
2x+3y = 2...(i) , 3x+2y= 2...(ii) Multiplying (i) by 2 and (ii) by 3 and subtracting, we get: -5x= -2 ⇒x= 2/5 Putting x= 2/5 in (i), we get 4/5+3y= 2 ⇒3y = (2-4/5) = 6/5 ⇒y = 6/5*1/3 =2/5 ∴ the solution can be represented by a point (2/5, 2/5) which lies in 1st quadrant.
Q 8 - The arrangement of mathematical statements 2x+ℏy= 11 and 5x-7y = 5 have no arrangement when:
Answer : C
Explanation
For no solution , we have a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ ≠c₁/c₂ i.e. 2/5 = ℏ/-7 ≠11/5 ⇒ℏ= -14/5
Q 9 - The arrangement of comparisons 4x+7y= 10 and 10x+ky= 25 have boundless number of arrangements, when:
Answer : D
Explanation
For infinite number of solutions, we have a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ =c₁/c₂ ∴ 4/10 = 7/ℏ= 10/25 ⇒7/ℏ= 2/5 ⇒ℏ= 35/2
Q 10 - In the event that 3 seats and 1 table expense Rs. 900 and 5 seats and 3 tables cost Rs. 2100, then the expense of 4 seats and 1 table is:
Answer : B
Explanation
Let cost of 1 chair =Rs x and cost of 1 table =Rs y. Then, 3x+y=900 ...(i) 5x+3y=2100 ...(ii) On multiplying (i) by 3 and subtracting (ii) from it, we get: 4x=600⇒x=150. Putting x=150 in (i), we get: 3*150+y=900⇒y= (900-450) =450. Cost of (4 chairs+1 table) =Rs (4*150+1*450) =Rs (600+450) =Rs1050.
