(a) 7
(b) 3
(c) 10
(d) 12
e) None of these
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (c)
Let there be (x + 1) members. Then,
Father's share = $1/4$ , share of each other member = $3/{4x}$.
∴ 3 $(3/{4x}) = 1/4$⇔4x = 36⇔x=9
Hence, total number of family member = 10.

Question : 1
Assertion (A) : The equations 2x – 3y = 5 and 6y – 4x = 11 cannot be solved graphically.
Reason (R) :The equations given above represent parallel lines.
a) A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of A
b) A is correct but R is wrong
c) A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
d) A is wrong but R is correct
Answer »Answer: (c)
Given that,
2x – 3y = 5 ... (i)
and –4x + 6y = 11 ... (ii)
Also, ${a_1}/{a_2} = 2/{-4} = {-1}/2$
${b_1}/{b_2} = {-3}/6 = {-1}/2$
⇒${a_1}/{a_2} ={b_1}/{b_2} = {-1}/2 ≠ {c_1}/{c_2}$
So, both equations are in parallel. So, it is not solved graphically.
Hence, A and R are individually true and R is correct explanation of A.
Question : 2
The solution of linear inequalities x + y ≥ 5 and x – y ≤ 3 lies
a) In the first and second quadrants
b) In the second and third quadrants
c) Only in the first quadrant
d) In the third and fourth quadrants
Answer »Answer: (a)
x+ y ≥ 5
let first draw graph of x + y = 5 ... (i)
put y = 0 in (i)
x = 5
put x = 0 in (i)
y = 5
Checking for (0, 0)
x + y ≥ 5
0 ≥ 5, which is false
Hence, origin does not lie in x + y ≥ 5
Now,
x – y ≤ 3
let first drawn graph of x – y = 3 ...(ii)
put x = 0 in (ii)
y = –3
put y = 0 in (ii)
x = 3'
Checking for (0, 0)
x – y ≤ 3
0 ≤ 3, which is true
Hence, origin lies in x – y ≤ 3
So, shaded region will be the solution of these linear inequalities lies in the first and second quadrant.
Question : 3
Under what condition do the equations kx – y = 2 and 6x – 2y = 3 have a unique solution?
a) k ≠ 3
b) k = 0
c) k = 3
d) k ≠ 0
Answer »Answer: (a)
The equations kx – y = 2 and 6x – 2y = 3 have a unique solution. Then,
∴ $k/6 ≠ 1/2$ ⇒ k ≠ 3
Question : 4
A number consists of two digits, whose sum is 10. If 18 is subtracted from the number, digits of the number are reversed. What is the product?
a) 18
b) 24
c) 15
d) 32
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the two-digit number be 10y + x.
According to question,
x + y = 10 ... (i)
and 10y + x – 18 = 10x + y
⇒9x – 9y = –18
⇒x – y = –2 ... (ii)
On solving equations (i) and (ii), we get
x = 4 and y = 6
∴ Required product = xy = 4 × 6 = 24.
Question : 5
If a and b are negative real numbers and c is a positive real number, then which of the following is/are correct?
1. a – b < a – c
2. If a < b then $a/c < b/c$
$1/b < 1/c$
Select the Correct answer using the code given below.
a) 2 only
b) 3 only
c) 1
d) 2 and 3
Answer »Answer: (a)
Since a, b are negative numbers.
a < 0 and b < 0
C is a positive real number
⇒ c > 0
(1) a – b < a – c
⇒ – b < – c
⇒ b > c
It is not true as b < c
(2) if a < b ⇒ $a/c < b/c$ this is true.
(3) $1/b < 1/c$
Since c > b ⇒ $1/c < 1/b$ this is not true.
∴ option (a) is correct.
Question : 6
A positive number, when increased by 10 equals 200 times its reciprocal. What is number?
a) 10
b) 20
c) 100
d) 200
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the positive number be x.
According to the question,
x + 10 = ${200}/x$
⇒ $x^2$ + 10x = 200
⇒ $x^2$ + 10x – 200 = 0
⇒ (x – 10) (x + 20) = 0
∴ x = 10, –20
But x ≠ –20, since x is a positive number
The required number is 10.
