Question 21. The branch of mathematics in which we study the use of letters to write rules and formulae in a general way is known as _______.
  1.    Arithmetic
  2.    Algebra
  3.    Statistics
  4.    Geometry 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Algebra
:
B
Algebra is the branch of mathematics in which we study the use of letters to representnumbers/quantities.
For example, ram bought mangoes, but we don't know the number of mangoes he bought. So, let's say he bought x numberof mangoes.
Here x is an alphabet but represents the number of mangoes.
Question 22. The pattern formed by all odd numbers is correctly represented by the expression
  1.    2n+1
  2.    2(n+1)
  3.    2n
  4.    None of above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2n+1
:
A
Even numbers are divisible by 2.
So, all even numbers can be represented by 2 × n; where n represents whole numbers 0, 1, 2....
All, even number are succeeded by an odd number.
2n+1 gives the pattern formed by odd numbers.
For n=0, 2n+1 = 2 × 0 + 1 = 1
For n=1, 2n+1 = 2× 1 + 1 = 3
For n=2, 2n+1 = 2× 2 + 5 = 5.
So, it is clear that A is the correct option.
Question 23. Identify the pair(s) of like terms among the given options.
  1.    3yx,8x2
  2.    4xy,3yx
  3.    4xy,8x2
  4.    All terms are unlike
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4xy,3yx
:
B
Like terms are terms that contain the same variables with the same power.
Here, 3yx and 4xy are like terms,
3yx and 8x2 are unlike terms,
4xy and 8x2 are unlike terms.
Question 24. If x3=9, then x is equal to
  1.    9
  2.    6
  3.    12
  4.    0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 12
:
C
x3=9Add 3 on both sides,x3+3=9+3x+0=12x=12
Question 25. Sum of the expressions 3x+4y and 2y+7x is _____.
  1.    5x+11y
  2.    11x+5y
  3.    10x+6y
  4.    6x+10y
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 10x+6y
:
C
Adding the coefficients of x and y, we get
3x+4y+
7x+2y
_______
10x+6y
3x+4y+2y+7x=10x+6y
Question 26. All integers are constants not variables.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Statistics
  4.    Geometry 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
All integers are constants since they have a fixed value which will not change with time.
Example: 5,6, -7,....
Question 27. (i) Given that a printer prints 5 pages less in the second minute to what it prints in the first minute. Given that it prints 77 pages in two minutes, how many pages does it print in the first minute?
(ii) The length of a rectangle is 4 metres less than three times the breadth of the rectangle. Express the breadth in terms of length.   [4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Each option: 2 Marks
(i)Let the number of pages printed in first minute =x
Number of pages printed in the second minute =x5
Total number of pages printed in the first two minutes =x+x5
2x5=77
2x=77+5
2x=82
x=41
(ii)Let Land Bbe length and breadth of the rectangle respectively
Given L = 3B - 4
Adding 4 to both sides
L+4 =3B -4 + 4
L + 4 = 3B
Dividing both sides by 3, we get,
B=L+43
Question 28. Find the value of 'x'. [3 MARKS]
(i) 4x+5=25
(ii) x213=512
(iii) (7x+8)÷7=8
 Discuss Question

:
Each Option: 1 Mark
(i) 4x+5=25
4x=255
4x=20
Divide by 4 on both sides,
4x÷4=20÷4
x=5
(ii)x213=512
x73=112(Taking LCM of 1 and 3 )
3x73=112
3x=112×3+7
3x=33+142=472
x=476=756=7.833
(iii)(7x+8)÷7=8
7x+87=8
7x=8×78=568=48
x=487=667=6.86
Question 29. Translate each of the following statements into an equation, using x as the variable: [4 MARKS]
a) 13 subtracted from twice a number gives 3.
b) One fifth of a number is 5 less than that number.
c) Two-third of number is 12.
d) 9 added to twice a number gives 13.
 Discuss Question

:
Each option: 1 Mark
(a) Let the number be x
Twice of number =2x
According to question, 2x13=3
(b) Let the number be x
One-fifth of number =x5
According to question,x5=x5
(c) Let the number be x
Two-third of number =2x3
According to question, 2x3=12
(d) Let the number be x
Twice a number =2x
According to question, 2x+9=13
Question 30. If x=2,y=5 and z=4 Find the value of: [4 MARKS]
(i) x2x2
(ii) xzyz
(iii) zx
(iv) yx
 Discuss Question

:
Each option: 1 Mark
(i) x2x2=12x=12(2)=14
(ii) xzyz=xy=25
(iii) zx=42=16
(iv) yx=52=25
