Linear Inequalities - Online Test

Q1. Find all pairs of consecutive even positive integers, both of which are larger than 5, such that their sum is less than 23.
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Let the consecutive even positive integers be x and x+2.

By data, x>5 and 

Now 


So we have the least possible value of x is 6 and the maximum value of x is 10.

Therefore the possible pairs of consecutive even positive integers are (6,8) ,(8,10) ,(10,12).


Q2. Solve : 3x + 5 < x − 7, when x is a real number
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q4.

The solution set of the inequation: 


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

             [ Multiply the inequality throughout by the  L.C.M]



 ,   but given 

Hence the solution set will be nullset.


Q5. The solution set of 6x − 1 > 5 is :
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:




Hence the solution set is 


Q6. If | x − 2|= p, where x < 2, then x - p =
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q7. A pack of coffee powder contains a mixture of x grams of coffee and y grams of choco. The amount of coffee is greater than that of choco and each coffee powder pack is atmost 10 grams. Which of the following inequations describe the conditions given ?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Given in the mixture ,amount of coffee= x grams

Amount of choco=y grams

Amount of coffee is greater than that of choco  

Each coffee powder pack is atmost 10 grams     


Q8. If a, b ,c are real numbers such that a > b , c > 0, then
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The inequality remains same if both sides of an inequality are multiplied  by the same positive real number.

Q9. If a , b , c are real numbers such that a ≥ b , c > 0, then
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The inequality remains same if both sides of an inequality are multiplied by the same positive real number.

Q10. Graph of the system of inequations x ≥ 0 , y ≤ 0 is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The solution region of  will be the half of XY –plane which lies on the right of y – axis , including the points on y – axis  [ First and Fourth quadrants ]

The solution region of   will be the half of XY –plane which lies under  x – axis , including the points on x – axis   [ Third  and Fourth quadrants ]

Hence the solution region of  will be the the intersection of the above two regions ,which is the fourth quadrant.
