The difference of two linear angles is 34° then the smaller angle is A) 49° B) 107° C) 73° D) 83°

Answer»

Correct option is (C) 73°

Let x & y are two linear angles.

\(\therefore\) x+y = \(180^\circ\)    ________(1)

Given that difference of these two linear angles is \(34^\circ.\)

\(\therefore\) x - y = \(34^\circ\)    ________(2)

By adding (1) & (2), we get

2x = \(180^\circ\) + \(34^\circ\) = \(214^\circ\)

\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{214^\circ}2\) = \(107^\circ\)

Put x = \(107^\circ\) in (1), we get

y = \(180^\circ\) - x = \(180^\circ\) - \(107^\circ\) = \(73^\circ.\)

Correct option is  C) 73°

The equation is followed by the values of the variable. Decide whether these values are the solution of that equation.2a + 4 = 0, a = 2, – 2, 1

Answer»

2a + 4 = 0 …..(i)

Substituting a = 2 in L.H.S. of equation (i), 

L.H.S. = 2 (2) + 4 

= 4 + 4 

= 8 

R.H.S. = 0 

∴ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. 

∴ a = 2 is not the solution of the given equation.

Substituting a = – 2 in L.H.S. of equation (i), 

L.H.S. = 2 (-2)+ 4 

= -4 + 4 

= 0 

R.H.S. = 0 

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S. 

∴ a = – 2 is the solution of the given equation.

Substituting a = 1 in L.H.S. of equation (i), 

L.H.S. = 2(1)+ 4 

= 2 + 4 

= 6 

R.H.S. = 0 

∴ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. 

∴ a = 1 is not the solution of the given equation.

The equation is followed by the values of the variable. Decide whether these values are the solution of that equation.x – 4 = 3, x = – 1, 7, – 7.

Answer»

i. x – 4 = 3 ….(i)

Substituting x = – 1 in L.H.S. of equation (i), 

L.H.S. = (-1) – 4

= – 5

R.H.S. = 3 

∴ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

∴ x = – 1 is not the solution of the given equation.

Substituting x = 7 in L.H.S. of equation (i), 

L.H.S. = (7) – 4 

= 3 

R.H.S. = 3

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S. 

∴ x = 7 is the solution of the given equation.

Substituting x = – 7 in L.H.S. of equation (i), 

L.H.S. = (- 7) – 4

= -11

R.H.S. = 3 

∴ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

∴ x = – 7 is not the solution of the given equation.

= 27

R.H.S. = 81 

∴ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. 

∴ m = 3 is not the solution of the given equation.

Substituting m = 9 in L.H.S. of equation (i), 

L.H.S. = 9 × (9) 

= 81

R.H.S. = 81 

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S. 

∴ m = 9 is the solution of the given equation.

Substituting m = – 3 in L.H.S. of equation (i), 

L.H.S. = 9 × (- 3) 

= -27 

R.H.S. = 81 

∴ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. 

∴ m = – 3 is not the solution of the given equation.
