Exercise MCQ

The graphs of the equations $2 \mathrm{x}+3 \mathrm{y}-2=0$ and $\mathrm{x}-2 \mathrm{y}-8=0$ are two lines which are
(a) coincident
(b) parallel
(c) intersecting exactly at one point
(d) perpendicular to each other

Answer: Solution: The given system of equations are as follows: $2 x+3 y-2=0$ and $x-2 y-8=0$ They are of the following form: $a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1}=0$ and $a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2}=0$ Here, $a_{1}=2,...

$$\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline Assertion (A) & Reason $(\mathrm{R})$ \\ \hline The system of equations $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-8=0$ and $\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}-2=0$ has a unique solutions. & $\begin{array}{l}\text { The system of equations } \\ \mathrm{a}_{1} \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{b}_{1} \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{c}_{1}=0 \\ \text { and } \mathrm{a}_{2} \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{b}_{2} \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{c}_{2}-0 \\ \text { has a unique solution when } \\ & \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\end{array}$ \\ \hline \end{tabular}$$
The correct answer is: (a) / (b)/ (c)/ (d).

Answer: (c) Solution: The correct answer is option (C). It is clear that, Reason (R) is false. Upon solving $x+y=8$ and $x-y=2$, we obtain: $x=5$ and $y=3$ Therefore, the given system has a unique...

5 years hence, the age of a man shall be 3 times the age of his son while 5 years earlier the age of the man was 7 times the age of his son. The present age of the man is
(a) 45 years
(b) 50 years
(c) 47 years
(d) 40 years

Answer: (d) 40 years Solution: Suppose the present age of the man be $\mathrm{x}$ years. And his son's present age be $y$ years. 5 years later: $\begin{array}{l} (x+5)=3(y+5) \\ \Rightarrow x+5=3...

In a cyclic quadrilateral $\mathrm{ABCD}$, it is being given that $\angle \mathrm{A}=(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+10)^{0}, \angle \mathrm{B}=(\mathrm{y}+20)^{0}$, $\angle \mathrm{C}=(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-30)^{0}$ and $\angle \mathrm{D}=(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y})^{0} .$ Then, $\angle \mathrm{B}=?$
(a) $70^{\circ}$
(b) $80^{\circ}$
(c) $100^{0}$
(d) $110^{\circ}$

Answer: (b) $80^{\circ}$ Solution: Correct option is (b). In a cyclic quadrilateral $\mathrm{ABCD}$ : $\begin{array}{l} \angle A=(x+y+10)^{0} \\ \angle B=(y+20)^{0} \\ \angle C=(x+y-30)^{0} \\...

If $\frac{3}{x+y}+\frac{2}{x-y}=2$ and $\frac{9}{x+y}-\frac{4}{x-y}=1$ then
(a) $x=\frac{1}{2}, y=\frac{3}{2}$
(b) $x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{1}{2}$
(c) $x=\frac{3}{2}, y=\frac{1}{2}$
(d) $x=\frac{1}{2}, y=\frac{5}{2}$

Answer: (b) $x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{1}{2}$ Solution: The given system of equations are $\begin{array}{l} \frac{3}{x+y}+\frac{2}{x-y}=2\dots \dots(i) \\ \frac{9}{x+y}-\frac{4}{x-y}=1\dots \dots(ii)...
