Question 11. The total number of variables in the equation 3a + b + 6ab = 0 is 3. State True or False.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    625
  4.    125
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
A variable is an unknown quantity whose value is not constant.
In the given equation3a + b + 6ab = 0, "a" and "b" are the variables. "ab" is not considered as a separate variable because, if "a" and "b" are individually found, "ab" can be found. Hence, there are 2 variables in the equation and not 3.
Question 12. The solution of the equation 37 + x = 177 is 2.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    30
  4.    40
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
37+x=177
x=(177)(37)=147=2
Hence, the solution of the equation 37+x=177is 2.
Hence the given statement is true.
Question 13. Anita thinks of a number and subtracts 32 from it. She multiplies the result by 8. The result now obtained is 5 times the same number she thought of. What is the number she thought of ?
  1.    4
  2.    6
  3.    8
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4
:
A
Let, the number which Anitainitially thought of be x.
She subtracts32from xand thenmultiplies it by 8.
(x32)×8
According to the question,(x32)×8=5×x8x12=5x8x5x=123x=12x=123x=4
Thus, the number that Anita initially thought of is 4.
Question 14. 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?
  1.    8
  2.    9
  3.    10
  4.    18
 Discuss Question
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, thesmallerpart is 10.
Question 15. 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
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 52
:
C
Given, the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 7.
Let the units digit of theoriginal number bex.

Then, the tens digit of theoriginal number is7x.
The two-digit number=10(7x)+(1×x)
=7010x+x=709x

When the digits are interchanged,the new number is10(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 16. For the given linear equation y3x+1=0, what are the values of y if x=[3,4,2]
  1.    5, -8, 13
  2.    8, 5, 13
  3.    8, 8, 8
  4.    8, -13, 5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 8, -13, 5
:
D
We have y3x+1=0
For x=3
y3(3)+1=0
y=8
For x=4
y3(4)+1=0
y=13
For x=2
y3(2)+1=0
y=5
Thus, the values of y ifx=[3,4,2] are 8, -13 and 5 respectively.
Question 17. Find the point at which the line represented by the equation 6x+5y=9, intersects the x-axis. 
  1.    (0,32)
  2.     (32,0)
  3.    (1,0)
  4.    (2,3)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. ->  (32,0)
:
B
Let the line intersects at point(x, y).
We know that if a line intersects the x-axis then the y coordinate of the point at which it intersects will be0.
y = 0
On substituting y = 0in the given equation, we get
6x+0=9
x=32
Thus, the point at whichthe given line intersects the x-axis is (32,0).
Question 18. Which of the following are Pair of Linear Equation in two variables?
  1.    2x+y=2;3x−z=2
  2.    12x+4y+3=0;4x+4y+4=0
  3.    x+2=0;a+2b=0
  4.    x+y−3=0;4a+2b+c=24
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 12x+4y+3=0;4x+4y+4=0
:
B
Two linear equations in same two variables are called pair of linear equation in two variables.
12x+4y+3=0and4x+4y+4=0
are linear equations in same two variables.
Question 19. If the linear equation y=7x4 is written in standard form, the standard form being ax+by+c=0, then what are the possible value of a,b,c?
  1.    a=−7,b=1,c=4
  2.    a=−7,b=−1,c=−4
  3.    a=7,b=−1,c=4
  4.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> a=−7,b=1,c=4
:
A
The standard form of a linear equation is ax+by+c=0.
The given equation is y=7x4.
It can be rewritten as 7x+y+4=0.
a=7,b=1andc=4.
But the equation canalso be written as,
7xy4=0.
a=+7,b=1andc=4.
Question 20. The line represented by the equation 4x+5y=10 intersects the y axis at (0, 2).
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    a = -3, b = -2 and c = 1
  4.    a = -3, b = 2 and c = -2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The line intersects the yaxis when the value of x coordinateis 0.
Thus, on yaxis,x=0.
Substituting this value in the given equation:
5y=10
y=2
Thus, the line intersects the yaxis at point (0,2).
