Exercise 7C
Page-116Question 1:
If 5x-34=2x-23, then x = ?
(a) 112
(b) 14
(c) 36
(d) 136
The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 86. The larger of the two is
(a) 46
(b) 36
(c) 38
(d) 44
(d) 44Let the two consecutive even numbers be x and (x+2).Then, x+(x+2)=86⇒2x+2=86⇒2x=86−2⇒x=844221⇒x=42 ∴ The required numbers are 42 and (42+2), i.e., 44.
The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 36. The smaller one is
(a) 15
(b) 17
(c) 19
(d) 13
(b) 17Let the two consecutive odd numbers be (x+1) and (x+3). Then, (x+1)+(x+3)=36⇒2x+4=36⇒2x=36−4⇒x=321621⇒x=16∴The smaller number is 17.
on adding 9 to the twice of a whole number gives 31. The whole number is
(a) 21
(b) 16
(c) 17
(d) 11
(d)11Let the whole number be x.Then, 2x+9=31⇒2x=31−9⇒2x=22⇒x=221121⇒x=11
Thrice a number when increased by 6 gives 24. The number is
(a) 6
(b) 7
(c) 8
(d) 11
(a) 6Let the whole number be x.Then, 3x+6=24⇒3x=24−6⇒3x=18⇒x=18631⇒x=6
23 of a number is less than the original number by 10. The original number is
(a) 30
(b) 36
(c) 45
(d) 60
(a) 30Let the original number be x. Then, 23x=x−10⇒2x=3x−30⇒2x−3x=−30⇒−x=−30⇒x=30∴The required number is 30.
Two complementary angles differ by 10°. The larger angle is
(a) 60°
(b) 50°
(c) 64°
(d) 54°
(b) 50°Let the angle be x°.Then, complementary of x=90°-x°According to the question, we have:x-90-x=10⇒2x=90+10⇒2x=100⇒x=50So, the larger angle is 50°.
Two supplementary angles differ by 20°. The smaller of the two measures
(a) 60°
(b) 80°
(c) 100°
(d) 120°
(b) 800Let the angle be x°.Then, complementary angle of x=180°-x°According to the question, we have: x-(180-x)=20⇒x-180+x=20⇒2x=10+180⇒2x=200⇒x=100Hence, the smaller angle is 80°.
The ages of A and B are in the ratio 5 : 3. After 6 years, their ages will be in the ratio 7 : 5. The present age of A is
(a) 5 years
(b) 10 years
(c) 15 years
(d) 20 years
(c)15 yearsLet the present ages of A and B be 5x and 3x, respectively. According to the question, we have:5x+63x+6=75⇒25x+30=21x+42⇒25x−21x=42−30⇒4x=12⇒x=1234⇒x=3 ∴A’
A number when multiplied by 5 is increased by 80. The number is
(a) 15
(b) 20
(c) 25
(d) 30
The length of a rectangle is three times its width and its perimeter is 96 m. The length is
(a) 12 m
(b) 24 m
(c) 36 m
(d) 48 m
