Question 51. Which of the following statements are true about the graph of the line x + 2y = 0.
  1.    is parallel to the x-axis
  2.    is parallel to the Y axis
  3.    passes through the origin
  4.    (0,3) lies on the line
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> passes through the origin
:
C
If x = 0,
0 + 2y = 0
y = 0
The line x + 2y = 0 passes through the origin.
We know that for x + 2y = 0 ,
y = 0 when x = 0.
Therefore, (0,3) does not lie on the line.
Question 52. How would you rewrite 2y = 3 in the standard form ax + by + c = 0 ?
  1.    0x + 2y - 3 = 0
  2.    0x + 2y = -3
  3.    0x + 2y + 3 = 0
  4.    0x - 2y -3 = 0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0x + 2y - 3 = 0
:
A
The standard form is given by ax + by + c = 0
So,2y = 3 can be written in the form0x + 2y - 3 = 0.
Question 53. The line x + y = 3 lies closer to the origin as compared to the line x + y = 5 when plotted on the cartesian plane.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    (0,7)
  4.    (73,0)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Let us consider the equation x + y = 3
when x = 0 then y = 3
similarly, when y = 0 then x = 3
Let us consider the equation x + y = 5
when x = 0 then y = 5
similarly, when y = 0 then x = 5
The Line X + Y = 3 Lies Closer To The Origin As Compared To ...By plotting the graphs ofboth of the equations, we can easily observethat the line x + y = 3 lies closer to the origin.
Question 54. The graph of the linear equation 3x - 2y = 6 cuts the y-axis at the point (0,3).
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    0x + 2y + 3 = 0
  4.    0x - 2y -3 = 0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
At the y-axis, value of x= 0
Putting x = 0 in the given equation,
3 x 0 - 2y = 6
y= -3.
Hence, the line 3x - 2y = 6 cuts y-axis at the point(0,-3).
Question 55. If you subtract 14 from a number and multiply the result by 12, you get 14. What is the number?
  1.    14
  2.    24
  3.    34
  4.    1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 34
:
C
Let the number be x.
'Subract¼ from the number'is mathematically written as 'x - ¼'.
Multiplying the above obtained result by½ is mathematically shown as:
'(x - ¼) × ½'.
According to the question,
(x14)×12=14
x14=2×14
(by multiplying both the sides by 2)
x14=12
x=12+14
(by transposing¼ from LHS to the RHS)
x=34
So, the required number is 34.
Question 56. It is given that "b" has a linear dependency on "a" and "a" has a linear dependency on "c". The equation 3a + 2b + 4c = 5 can be reduced into a linear equation.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    21 years
  4.    49 years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Linear dependency signifies that "a","b"and "c" are linearly related, which means that if one of them can be found, the other two can be found.
Hence, the given equation can be reduced to a linear equation if the exact relation between "a","b"and "c" is given.
For a better understanding, let us express the dependencies as equations.
Since b is linearly dependent on a, we can write b = ka + p, where k and p are some constants. Note that in this equation, b and a are the only variables, whereas k and p are known.
Similarly, a can be written as a = gc+ u, where g and u are constants (known values).
Substituting these values of a and b in the given equation, we get,
3a + 2b + 4c = 5
3(gc + u) + 2(ka + p) + 4c = 5
3gc + 3u + 2p + 2k(gc + u) + 4c = 5
(3g + 2kg + 4)c + (3u + 2p + 2ku - 5) = 0.
Note that in the final equation, the only c is unknown, the others are all constants and hence is a linear equation in one variable.
Question 57. The value of x satisfying the equation x+94+2x+35=10 is 11.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    21 years
  4.    49 years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
x+94+2x+35=10 is the given equation.
We can check if x=11 is a solution by substituting this value in the LHS to check whether itis equal to RHS or not
(11+9)4+(22+3)5
= 5 + 5
= 10
Thus we see thatx=11 makes LHS = RHS andis the solution of the given equation.
Question 58. If 53x = 2527, then x lies between 1 and 2.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
53x =2527
By cross multiplication, we get
5×27=3x×25
3x=5×2725
x=5×273×25
x=95
=1.8, which lies between 1 and 2.
Question 59. The solution of the equation  x+55x+8 = 1138 is
___

:
x+55x+8=1138
38x + 190 = 55x + 88
55x -38x = 190 - 88

Answer: Option A. -> 1
:
A
3x+1=65x1
