- The simultaneous equations \(x + 2y = 4\) and \(2x + 4y = 12\) have Answer: C. no solution D = 1×4 - 2×2 = 0 . Dividing the second equation by 2 gives x + 2y = 6 , which contradicts x + 2y = 4 . The lines are... 1
- If \(\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = 5\) and \(\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{y} = 1\), then \(x = \) Answer: A. 1/3 Adding: 2/x = 6 ⇒ 1/x = 3 ⇒ x = 1/3 . 1
- The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 50 years. Five years ago, the father's age was 7 times the son's age. The father's present age is Answer: C. 40 years Let the ages be F and S . F + S = 50 and F - 5 = 7(S - 5) ⇒ F = 7S - 30 . So 8S - 30 = 50 ⇒ S = 10 , F = 40 . 1
- The probability of a certain (sure) event is Answer: C. 1 A certain event always happens, so its probability is 1. 1
- Two coins are tossed simultaneously. The number of sample points \(n(S)\) is Answer: A. 4 S = \HH, HT, TH, TT\ , so n(S) = 4 . 1
- A die is thrown. The probability of getting an even number is Answer: C. 1/2 Even numbers are 2, 4, 6: P = 3/6 = 1/2 . 1
- If \(x + y = 7\) and \(x - y = 3\), then \(x = \) Answer: B. 5 Adding: 2x = 10 ⇒ x = 5 . 1
- The value of \(\begin{vmatrix} 4 & 3 \\ 2 & 5 \end{vmatrix}\) is Answer: A. 14 4 × 5 - 3 × 2 = 20 - 6 = 14 . 1
- For a pair of simultaneous equations, \(D = 3\), \(D_x = 9\) and \(D_y = -6\). The solution \((x, y)\) is Answer: D. (3, -2) x = D_x/D = 9/3 = 3 , y = D_y/D = -6/3 = -2 . 1
- Which ordered pair satisfies the equation \(3x - 2y = 4\)? Answer: B. (2, 1) 3(2) - 2(1) = 6 - 2 = 4 . Check the others: (1,2) gives -1 , (0,2) gives -4 , (2,0) gives 6. 1
- \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) is a quadratic equation only when Answer: D. a ≠ 0 If a = 0 the x² term vanishes and the equation is no longer of degree 2. 1
- The roots of \(x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0\) are Answer: B. 5 and -3 x² - 2x - 15 = (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0 , so x = 5 or x = -3 . 1
- If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is negative, its roots are Answer: A. not real When b² - 4ac < 0 , the quadratic equation has no real roots. 1
- The value of the discriminant of \(x^2 + 2x + 5 = 0\) is Answer: B. -16 b² - 4ac = 4 - 20 = -16 . 1
- The 10th term of the A.P. 5, 9, 13, ... is Answer: B. 41 t₁₀ = 5 + 9 × 4 = 41 . 1
- The sum of the first \(n\) odd natural numbers is Answer: A. n² S_n = n/2[2(1) + (n - 1)2] = n/2(2n) = n² . 1
- For an A.P., \(a = 6\) and \(d = 3\). Then \(S_6 = \) Answer: B. 81 S₆ = 6/2[2(6) + 5(3)] = 3(12 + 15) = 81 . 1
- The common difference of the A.P. \(\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{3}{2}, \ldots\) is Answer: C. -1 d = -1/2 - 1/2 = -1 . 1
