State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).Two numbers differ by 40, when each number is increased by 8, the bigger becomes thrice the lesser number. If one number is x, then the other number is (40 – x). |
|
Answer» False. From the question it is given that, One number = x Other number = 40 –x Let us assume (40 – x) > x So, 40 – x + 8 = 3 (x + 8) 48 – x = 3x + 24 – x – 3x = 24 -48 – 4x = -24 X = -24 × (-1/4) X = 6 ∴One number is x = 6 Other number is = 40 – x = 40 – 6 = 34 Difference between numbers = 34 – 6 = 28 |

Let A = {0, 1, 2, 3} and define a relation R on A as follows:R = {(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 3), (1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 0), (3, 3)}.Is R reflexive? symmetric? transitive? |
|
Answer» R is reflexive and symmetric, but not transitive since for (1, 0) ∈ R and (0, 3) ∈ R whereas (1, 3) ∉ R. Since A = {0, 1, 2, 3} R : A → A Since, 0, 1, 2, 3 \(\in\) A and (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2) (3, 3) \(\in\) R Hence, for each a \(\in\) A (a, a) \(\in\) R ∴ R is a reflexive relation. Since, (0, 1) ∈ R Then (1, 0) ∈ R (0, 3) ∈ R Then (3, 0) ∈ R Hence, if (a, b) ∈ R Then (b, a) ∈ R ∴ Relation R is symmetric relation. Since, (1, 0) ∈ R, (0, 3) ∈ R but (1, 3) \(\notin\) R ∴ Relation R is not transitive. |

The difference in age between a girl and her younger sister is 4 years. The younger sister in turn is 4 years older than her brother. The sum of the ages of the younger sister and her brother is 16. How old are the three children? |
|
Answer» Let the age of the girl = x years. So, the age of her younger sister = (x – 4) years. Thus, the age of the brother = (x – 4 – 4) years = (x – 8) years. According to question: ⇒ (x – 4) + (x – 8) = 16 ⇒ x + x – 4 – 8 = 16 ⇒ 2x – 12 = 16 Adding 12 to both sides, we get ⇒ 2x – 12 + 12 = 16 + 12 ⇒ 2x = 28 Dividing both sides by 2, we get ⇒ 2x/2 = 28/2 ⇒ x = 14 Thus, the age of the girl = x = 14 years, The age of the younger sister = x – 4 = 14 – 4 = 10 years, The age of the younger brother = x – 8 = 14 – 8 = 6 years. |

A man 4 times as old as his son. After 16 years, he will be only twice as old as his son. Find their present ages. |
|
Answer» Let the present age of the son = x years. Therefore, the present age of his father = 4x years. So, after 16 years, Son’s age = (x + 16) and father’s age = (4x + 16) years According to question: ⇒ 4x + 16 = 2(x + 16) ⇒ 4x + 16 = 2x + 32 Transposing 2x to LHS and 16 to RHS, we get ⇒ 4x – 2x = 32 – 16 ⇒ 2x = 16 Dividing both sides by 2, we get ⇒ 2x/2 = 16/2 ⇒ x = 8 So, the present age of the son = x = 8 years, And the present age of the father = 4x = 4(8) = 32 years. |

Fill in the blanks to make each statement true.After 18 years, Swarnim will be 4 times as old as he is now. His present age is _________. |
|
Answer» After 18 years, Swarnim will be 4 times as old as he is now. His present age is 6 years. Let us assume swarnim’s parent age be x year. Then, after 18 year, Swarnim’s age = (x + 18) year According to the question, x + 18 = 4x x – 4x = -18 – 3x = -18 – 3x/3 = (-18/3) x = 6 Therefore, swarnim’s present age is 6 year. |
