Simple Equations
In the Questions 1 to 18, there are four options out of which, one is correct. Choose
the correct one.
1. The solution of the equation ax + b = 0 is
(a) a/b (b) –b (c) –b/a (d) b/a
Solution:-
(c) –b/a
Consider the given equation ax + b = 0
Transpose ‘b’ to right hand side then it becomes –b.
ax = -b
x = -b/a
2. If a and b are positive integers, then the solution of the equation ax = b will always
be a
(a) positive number (b) negative number (c) 1 (d) 0
Solution:-
(a) positive number
The solution of the given equation ax = b
x = b/a
4. The solution of which of the following equations is neither a fraction nor an integer?
(a) 2x + 6 = 0 (b) 3x – 5 = 0
(c) 5x – 8 = x + 4 (d) 4x + 7 = x + 2
Solution:-
(d) 4x + 7 = x + 2
Consider the equation 4x + 7 = x + 2
Transpose 7 to right hand side then it becomes –7 and x to Left hand side then it
becomes - x.
4x – x = 2 – 7
3x = -5
x = -5/3
15. Which of the following equations cannot be formed using the equation x = 7?
(a) 2x + 1 = 15 (b) 7x – 1 = 50
(c) x – 3 = 4 (d) (x/7) – 1 = 0
Solution:-
(b) 7x – 1 = 50
Consider the equation 7x – 1 = 50.
Transpose -1 to right hand side then it becomes 1.
7x = 50 + 1
7x = 51
x = 51/7
18. Shifting one term from one side of an equation to another side with a change of
sign is known as
(a) commutativity (b) transposition
(c) distributivity (d) associativity
Solution:-
(b) transposition
21. In a test Abha gets twice the marks as that of Palak. Two times Abha's marks and
three times Palak's marks make 280.
(a) If Palak gets x marks, Abha gets marks.
Solution:-
From the question it is given that Palak gets x marks and Abha gets twice the marks as
that of Palak.
Then, Abha gets 2x marks.
22. The length of a rectangle is two times its breadth. Its perimeter is 60 cm.
(a) If the breadth of rectangle is x cm, the length of the rectangle is .
Solution:-
From the question it is given that the breadth of rectangle is x cm and length of a
rectangle is two times its breadth.
Then, length of the rectangle is 2x.
23. In a bag there are 5 and 2 rupee coins. If they are equal in number and their worth
is ₹ 70, then
(a) The worth of x coins of ₹ 5 each .
Solution:-
The worth of x coins of ₹ 5 each 5x.
24. In a Mathematics quiz, 30 prizes consisting of 1st and 2nd prizes only are to be
given. 1st and 2nd prizes are worth ₹ 2000 and ₹ 1000 respectively. If the total prize
money is ₹ 52,000 then show that:
(a) If 1st prizes are x in number the number of 2nd prizes are .
Solution:-
From the question it is given that, 30 prizes consisting of 1st.
So, If 1st prizes are x in number the number of 2nd prizes are 30 – x.
(e) The number of 1st prizes are and the number of 2nd prizes are
.
Solution:-
The number of 1st prize = x = 22
The number of 2nd prize = 30 – x = 30 – 22 = 8
The number of 1st prizes are 22 and the number of 2nd prizes are 8.
25. If z + 3 = 5, then z = .
Solution:-
Consider the equation, z + 3 = 5
Transpose 3 to RHS it becomes -3
z= 5 – 3
z=2
33. If 5 is added to three times a number, it becomes the same as 7 is subtracted from
four times the same number. This fact can be represented as .
Solution:-
Let us assume the number be x,
Given, If 5 is added to three times a number = 3x + 5
7 is subtracted from four times the same number = 4x - 7
If 5 is added to three times a number, it becomes the same as 7 is subtracted from four
times the same number. This fact can be represented as 3x + 5= 4x - 7.
36. x – 1= ; when 2x = 2.
Solution:-
Consider the given equation, 2x = 2
x = 2/2
x=1
Then,
=x–1
=1-1
=0
39. Finding the value of a variable in a linear equation that the equation is
called a of the equation.
Solution:-
Finding the value of a variable in a linear equation that satisfies the equation is called a
root of the equation.
40. Any term of an equation may be transposed from one side of the equation to the
other side of the equation by changing the of the term.
Solution:-
Any term of an equation may be transposed from one side of the equation to the other
side of the equation by changing the sign of the term.
43. If x – ½ = - ½, then x = .
Solution:-
Consider the given equation, x – ½ = - ½
Transpose – ½ to RHS then it becomes ½
x=-½+½
x=0
Then, the value of x = 0
52. One third of a number added to itself gives 10, can be represented as (x/3) + 10 = x
Solution:-
False.
One third of a number added to itself = (x/3) + x
One third of a number added to itself gives 10, can be represented as (x/3) + x = 10
55. If 9 is the solution of variable x in the equation ((5x - 7)/2) = y, then the value of y
is 28.
Solution:-
False.
Consider the equation, ((5x - 7)/2) = y
Then, from the question it is given that the value of x = 9
So, (((5 × 9) - 7)/2) = y
((45 - 7)/2) = y
38/2 = y
y = 19
