Question 21.


28 is divided into two parts in such a way that 65 of one part is equal to 23 of the other. What would be the smaller part?

  2.     9
  3.     10
  4.     18

Answer: Option C. -> 10
:
C

Let one part be x.


Then, other part = 28x


Given that
65 of one part = 23 of the other
          65x = 23(28x)
    (6×32)x = 5(28x)
             9x=5(28x)
             9x=1405x
       14x=140
           x=10


The other part would be 28 - 10 = 18
Hence, the smaller part is 10.


Question 22.


The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 7. If the number formed by interchanging the digits is less than the original number by 27, then find the original number.


  1.     43
  2.     61
  3.     52
  4.     25

Answer: Option C. -> 52
:
C

Given, the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 7.
Let the units digit of the original number be x.

Then, the tens digit of the original number is 7x.
The two-digit number =10(7x)+(1×x)
=7010x+x=709x


When the digits are interchanged, the new number is 10(x)+1(7x)=10xx+7=9x+7
New number = Original number - 27


9x+7=709x2718x=36x=2


The tens digit =7x=72=5


The original number is 52.


Question 23.


The value of the variable after solving the equation 2x + 3 = 3x + 2 is 


___.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 52
:

In the given equation, x is the variable (whose value has to be found)
2x + 3 = 3x + 2


3x - 2x = 3 - 2


x = 1


Question 24.


The denominator of a rational number is greater than its numerator by 3. If the numerator is increased by 7 and the denominator is decreased by 1, then the new number becomes 32. Find the original number.


  1.     811
  2.     58
  3.     710
  4.     25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 811
:
A

Let the numerator of a rational number be x.
Then the denominator of a rational number would be (x+3).
When the numerator is increased by 7, it becomes (x+7) 
When the denominator is decreased by 1, it becomes
x+31=x+2
The new number formed =32
So, (x+7)(x+2)=32  2x+14=3x+6  3x2x=146             x=8



Numerator, x=8
Denominator, x+3=8+3=11
Hence, the original rational number is 811


Question 25.


If the sum of three consecutive multiples of 4 is 444, then these multiples are 144, 148, 152. 


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     710
  4.     25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Let us assume the first multiple of 4 as 4x. Hence, the next two multiples are 4x + 4 and 4x + 8


According to the question,


4x+(4x+4)+(4x+8)=444


12x+12=444
4(3x+3)=4(111)


3x+3=111


3x=108


 x = 36


4x=4×36=144,
4x+4=144+4=148 and

4x+8=144+8=152


Therefore, the multiples are 144, 148 and 152.


Question 26.


Solve for x:
x+1x+4 =23


  1.     3
  2.     4
  3.     5
  4.     6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5
:
C

Given, 
x+1x+4 =23
On cross multiplication, we get,
3×(x+1)=2×(x+4)3x+3=2x+8
Transposing 2x from RHS to LHS and 3 from LHS to RHS, we get,
3x2x=83x=5


Question 27.


Which of the following equation(s) is/are linear equation(s) in one variable?


  1.     2x + 3y = 10 
  2.     4a + 3b = 3b + 6
  3.     2x = 3x + 4
  4.     2x + 4z = 5 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4a + 3b = 3b + 6
:
B and C

If the degree of an equation is one, then that equation is called a linear equation. In all the equations given, the degree of each equation is one as the highest exponent of variables in a term is one.
Equations which have only one variable or which can be reduced to equations having only one variable are known as linear equations in one variable.
Since, 4a + 3b = 3b + 6 can be reduced to a linear equation in variable "a" by subtracting "3b" from both sides, this is a linear equation in one variable.
Also, 2x = 3x + 4 is a linear equation in one variable as it has only one variable, x. 
The other equations are also linear but they have two variables, so they are not linear equations in one variable.


Question 28.


A total of 10,000 is distributed among 150 persons as gifts. If a gift is either of 50 or 100 denominations, then the total number of gifts worth 50 is 50.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     2x = 3x + 4
  4.     2x + 4z = 5 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

Total number of gifts = 150


Let the number of gifts worth 50 be x


Then the number of gifts worth 100 would be (150 - x)


Amount spent on x gifts of  50 = 50x


Amount spent on (150 - x) gifts of 100 = 100(150 - x)


So, 50x + 100 (150 - x) = 10000


50x + 15000 - 100x = 10000


50x = 15000 - 10000 = 5000


x = 100


The total number of 50 gifts = x = 100 and hence the given statement is False.


Question 29.


The present age of Pratik and Arjun are in the ratio 2 : 3. After 4 years, the ratio of their ages will be 4 : 5. The present age of Pratik would be 


___ years.

 


 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:

Let the present age of Pratik be 2x and Arjun be 3x.


4 years from now, Pratik 's age = 2x + 4 and Arjun 's age = 3x + 4


Given that, 2x+43x+4 = 45


10x+20=12x+16


Thus, 2x=4x=2


Pratik's present age is 2x=4.


Question 30.


The value of  x will be


___

.


The Value Of  X Will Be___.          


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:

The equation is, 7x - 2 = 2x + 8


or 7x-2x = 8+2


or 5x = 10


x = 2
