Question 21.


A woman has m $20 notes and n $50 notes. The total amount of money in her possession cannot be less than $800. Represent this as an inequality.


  1.     20m+50n<800
  2.     20m+50n800
  3.     20m+50n>800
  4.     20m+50n800
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 20m+50n800
:
D

Total value of m $20 notes and n $50 notes = 20m + 50 n
The least amount of money the woman can have in her possession is $800.
Therefore, 20m+50n800
The correct choice is D.


Question 22.


If 2 - 4x  < -6 , what are the possible values for 2x -1?


  1.     All values less than 3
  2.     All values greater than 3
  3.     All values less than -3
  4.     All values greater than -3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> All values greater than 3
:
B
24x<6
2(12x)<6
(12x)<3 (on division by 2)
(2x1)>3 (on multiplication with -1), multiplying with a negative number inverts the inequality.
Hence, B is the correct choice
Question 23.


Find the interval(s) in which the expression (4-x)(x+2) is positive.


  1.     (,2)
  2.     (2,4)
  3.     (4,)
  4.     The expression is always less than zero
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (2,4)
:
B

Let P=(4x)(x+2)
Find the points on the number line where P=0
P=0x ϵ {2,4}
Split the number line into 3 using these points.
(,2), (2,4) & (4,)(,2): (4x)>0 & (x+2)<0P<0(2,4): (4x)>0 & (x+2)>0P>0(4,): (4x)<0 & (x+2)>0P<0
 P>0, when x ϵ (2,4)


Question 24.


6x9y>12
Which of the following inequalities is equivalent to the inequality above?


  1.     xy>2
  2.     2x3y>4
  3.     3x2y>4
  4.     3y2x>2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2x3y>4
:
B
We know that an inequality remains unchanged if the entire inequality is multiplied by a positive constant. If an inequality is multiplied by a positive constant, the ratios of the coefficients of x, coefficients of y and the constant terms will be equal.
It can be observed that in option B,
Ratio of coefficients of x=62=3
Ratio of coefficients of y=93=3
Ratio of constant terms =124=3
Hence, B is the correct choice.
Question 25.


Find the value of loge 144.


  1.     2loge12
  2.     4loge22loge3
  3.     3loge2loge18
  4.     All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
:
D

loge 144 = loge1222loge12 (option A)


Factors of 144 = 24 × 32


            loge 144 = loge (24 × 32)


                                  = loge24loge32


                                  = 4loge22loge3 (option B)


            loge 144 = loge (23 × 18) = loge(23)log18


                           = 3loge2log18 (option C)


Question 26.


y15x+3000
y5x
In the xy plane, if a point with coordinates (a,b) lies in the solution set of the system of inequalities above, the maximum possible value of b is___


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
:
Y≤−15x+3000y≤5xIn The Xy Plane, If A Point With Coordi...
From the graph, it can be observed that the solution region for the inequality lies beneath each line. Hence, the maximum value of the y co-ordinate of the solution occurs at the point of intersection of the two lines.
To find the point of intersection, solve the equations of the lines y= -15x+3000 and y=5x
Equating the right sides of both equations directly, we get
 5x= -15x+3000
20x=3000
x=150
So, y=5x=750
Hence, the maximum possible value of b is 750.
 
Question 27.


Which of the following numbers is NOT a solution of the inequality 3x54x3 ?


  1.     -1
  2.     -2
  3.     -3
  4.     -5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> -1
:
A
3x54x3  
5+34x3x  
2x
x2
Hence, -1 is not a solution
Question 28.


Tickets for a school talent show cost $2 for students and $3 for adults. If Chris spends at least $11 but no more than $14 on x student tickets and 1 adult ticket, possible value(s) of x is/are ___


  1.     2
  2.     3
  3.     4
  4.     5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4
:
C and D

Given that Chris spends $3 on one adult ticket and $2 per ticket on x children's ticket. Hence, total amount spent = 3 + 2x
Further, it is given that Chris spends at least $11 and at most $14. This can be represented by the inequality
113+2x14
82x11
4x5.5
Since x is an integer, the possible values for x are 4 or 5.


Question 29.


Which of the following inequalities represent the statement - ' k cannot exceed 5' ?


  1.     k>5
  2.     k<5
  3.     k5
  4.     k5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> k5
:
D
k cannot exceed 5 means that k can be less than or equal to 5.
Hence, D is the correct choice.
Question 30.


If A=log2 log2 log4 256+2log22, then A is equal to


  1.     2
  2.     3
  3.     5
  4.     7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5
:
C
A=log2 log2 log4 256+2log2122
=log2 log2 log4 44+2×1(12)log22
=log2 log24+4=log2 log2 22+4
=log22+4=1+4=5
