    $\text{x}\geq\frac{105}{8}$
  • C
    $\text{x}\geq120$
  • D
    $\text{x}\leq120$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\text{x}\leq\frac{105}{8}$
$\frac{1}{5}\big(\frac{3\text{x}}{5}+4\big)\geq\frac{1}{3}(\text{x}-6).$
$​​\Rightarrow3\big(\frac{3\text{x}}{5}+4\big)\geq5\big(\text{x}-6\big)$

  • A
    $\big[15^\circ, 20^\circ\big]$
  • B
    $\big[20^\circ, 25^\circ\big]$
  • $\big[25^\circ, 30^\circ\big]$
  • D
    $\big[30^\circ, 35^\circ\big]$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\big[25^\circ, 30^\circ\big]$
$\text{F}=\frac{9}{5\text{c}}+32^\circ$
$\text{C}=\text{F}-32^\circ\times\frac{5}{9}$
$77^\circ\leq\text{F}\leq86^\circ$
$\Rightarrow77^\circ-32^\circ\leq\text{F}-32^\circ\leq86^\circ -32^\circ$
$\Rightarrow45^\circ\leq\text{F}-32^\circ\leq54^\circ$
$\Rightarrow45^\circ\times\frac{5}{9}\leq(\text{F}-32^\circ)\times\frac{5}{9}\leq54^\circ\times\frac{5}{9}$
$\Rightarrow25^\circ\leq\text{C}\leq30^\circ$

The graph of the inequations $x ≤ 0, y ≤ 0,$ and $2x + y + 6 ≥ 0$ is:
  • A
    exterior of a triangle
  • a triangular region in the $3^{rd}$ quadrant
  • C
    in the $1^{st}$ quadrant
  • D
    none of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
a triangular region in the $3^{rd}$ quadrant
Given inequalities $x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, 2x + y + 6 ≥ 0$
Now take $x = 0, y = 0$ and $2x + y + 6 = 0$
when $x = 0, y = -6$
when $y = 0, x = -3$
So, the points are $A(0, 0), B(0, -6)$ and $C(-3, 0)$

So, the graph of the inequations $x ≤ 0, y ≤ 0,$ and $2x + y + 6 ≥ 0$ is a triangular region in the $3^{rd}$ quadrant.

If $x$ is a natural number and $20\text{x}\leq100$ then find solution set of $x.$
  • A
    $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$
  • $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$
  • C
    $\{1, 2, 3, 4\}$
  • D
    $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4\}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$
$20\text{x}\leq100$
Dividing by $20$ on both sides,
$\text{x}\leq\frac{100}{20}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\leq5$
Since $x$ is a natural number.

If $− 3x + 17 < -13,$ then:
  • $\text{x}\in(10,\infty)$
  • B
    $\text{x}\in[10,\infty)$
  • C
    $\text{x}\in(-\infty,10]$
  • D
    $\text{x}\in[-10,10)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\text{x}\in(10,\infty)$
$− 3x + 17 < −13$
Subtracting $17$ on both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow −3x + 17 − 17 < −13 − 17$
$\Rightarrow −3x < − 30$
Dividing $−3$ on both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow\frac{-3\text{x}}{-3}>\frac{-30}{-3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}>10$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(10,\infty)$

The graph of the inequalities $x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, 2x + y + 6 ≤ 0$ is:
  • A
    a square
  • B
    a triangle
  • $\{\}$
  • D
    none of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\{\}$
Given inequalities $x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, 2x + y + 6 ≤ 0$
Now take $x = 0, y = 0$ and $2x + y + 6 = 0$
when $x = 0, y = -6$
when $y = 0, x = -3$
So, the points are $A(0, 0), B(0, -6)$ and $C(-3, 0)$

Since region is outside from the line $2x + y + 6 = 0$
So, it does not represent any figure.

If $x < 7,$ then:
  • A
    $-\text{x}<-7$
  • B
    $-\text{x}\leq-7$
  • $-\text{x}>-7$
  • D
    $-\text{x}\geq-7$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$-\text{x}>-7$
subtracting $x$ on both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow x − x < 7 − x$
$\Rightarrow 0 < 7 − x$
subtracting $7$ on both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow 0 − 7 < 7 − x − 7$

  • $2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq6,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq6,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$
Since region involves $1^{st}$ quadrant so $\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0.$
Two points on line are $(0,6)$ and $(3,0)$
$\frac{(\text{y}-6)}{(0-6)} =\frac{(\text{x}-0)}{(3-0)}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{y}-6)}{(-6)}=\frac{\text{x}}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}-6=2\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}+\text{y}=6$
$2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq6$ since $(0,0) $ should also satisfy.
So, $ 2\text{x}+\text{y}\leq6, \text{x}\geq0, \text{y}\geq0.$

    $\text{|x|}>5$
  • $\text{|x|}\geq5$
  • D
    $\text{|x|}\geq5$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\text{|x|}\geq5$
As according to the graph,
$x$ lies between $(-\infty,-5]$ and $[5,\infty)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\geq5$ or $\text{x}\leq-5$

Solve: $1\leq|\text{x} – 1|\leq3$
  • A
    $\big[-2,0\big]$
  • B
    $\big[2,4\big]$
  • $\big[-2,0\big]\cup\big[2,4\big]$
  • D
    $\text{None of these}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\big[-2,0\big]\cup\big[2,4\big]$
Given, $ 1\leq|\text{x} – 1|\leq3$
$\Rightarrow-3\leq(\text{x} – 1)\leq-1 $ or $1\leq(\text{x}-1)\leq3$
i.e. the distance covered is between $1$ unit to $3$ unit.
$\Rightarrow-2\leq \text{x}\leq0$ or $2\leq\text{x}\leq4$
Hence, the solution set of the given inequality is
$\text{x}\in\big[-2, 0\big]\cup\big[2, 4\big]$

  • $\big(1,3\big]$
  • D
    $\big(1,4\big]$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\big(1,3\big]$
$\frac{2\text{x}+4}{\text{x}-1}\geq5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}+4}{\text{x}-1}-5\geq0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}+4-5(\text{x-1})}{\text{x-1}}\geq0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}+4-\text{5x+5}}{\text{x-1}}\geq0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{9-3\text{x}}{\text{x-1}}\geq0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{-3\text{(x-3)}}{\text{x}-1}\geq0$
Multiplying each side of an inequality by a negative number $\big(\frac{-1}{3}\big)$ reverses the direction of the inequality symbol.
$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{x}-3)}{\text{x}-1}\leq0$ Here $\text{x}-1\neq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\neq1$

Hence the solution set of the given in equations is $\big(1, 3\big]$

The sum of four numbers in $AP$ is $20.$The numbers are such that the ratio of the product of first and fourth is to the product of second and third as $2 : 3.$The greatest number is:
  • $8$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $14$
  • D
    $4$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$8$
Let the four terms be $a − 3d, a − d, a + d,$ and $a + 3d$ with common difference $2d.$
sum $= 4a = 20a = 5a = 5$
$\frac{\text{(a-3d)}\text{(a+3d)}}{\text{(a-d)}\text{(a+d)}}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{25-9\text{d}^2}{25-\text{d}^2}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\text{d}^2=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{d}=1$
Largest term $= a + 3d = 5 + 3(1) = 8$
