MCQ 41 Mark
Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer of the following: The product of two numbers is $\frac{-1}{4}$. If one of them is $\frac{-3}{10}$, then the other is$-$
  • $\frac{5}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{-5}{6}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{-8}{5}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{5}{6}$
Let the required number be $x$
Now,
$\frac{-3}{10}\times\text{x}=\frac{-1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-1}{4}\div\Big(\frac{-3}{10}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-1}{4}\times\frac{10}{-3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{10}{12}$

    $\frac{8}{5}$
  • $\frac{-8}{15}$
  • D
    $\frac{8}{15}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{-8}{15}$
We have,
$\frac{4}{3}\div\text{x}=\frac{-5}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{-5}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\Big(\frac{-5}{2}\Big)}{\Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\Big(\frac{-5}{2}\Big)\times\Big(\frac{3}{4}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{-15}{8}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{8}{-15}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{8\times-1}{-15\times-1}$

    $\frac{-13}{12}$
  • C
    $\frac{-5}{4}$
  • $\frac{-17}{12}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{-17}{12}$
Let the number be $x$
Now,
$\frac{-2}{3}-\text{x}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow-1\times\Big(\frac{2}{3}+\text{x}\Big)=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2}{3}+\text{x}=\frac{-3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-3}{4}+\Big(\text{Additive inverse of }\frac{2}{3}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-3}{4}-\Big(\frac{-2}{3}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-3}{4}+\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-3\times3}{4\times3}+\frac{2\times4}{3\times4}$
