Linear Inequalities - Online Test

Q1. In the first three papers each of 100 marks , Rishi got 95 , 72 , 83 marks . If he wants an average of greater than or equal to 75 marks and less than 80 marks, find the range of marks he should score in the 4th paper .
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

et the marks scored by Rishi in the fourth paper be x.

Then 

Multipling the inequality throughout by 4 ,we get



Q2. A man wants to cut three lengths from a single piece of board of length 91 cm. The second length is to be 3 cm longer than the shortest and third length is to be twice as long as the shortest. What are the possible lengths for the shortest board if the third piece is to be at least 5 cm longer than the second?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Let the length of the shortest piece be x cm.Then we have the length of the second and third pieces are x+3 and 2x centimeters respectively.

According to the question,


Hence the shortest piece may be atleast 8 cm long but it cannot be more than 22cm in length.


Q3. Find all pairs of consecutive odd natural numbers, both of which are larger than 10, such that their sum is less than 40.
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Let the consecutive odd natural numbers be x and x+2.

According to the question , x>10 and  

Now 

Hence the maximum value of x is 17 and minimum value is 11.

So the possible pairs of odd natural numbers are ( 11 , 13 ) , ( 13 , 15 ) , ( 15 , 17 ) , ( 17 , 19 )


Q4. The marks scored by Rohit in two tests were 65 and 70. Find the minimum marks he should score in the third test to have an average of atleast 65 marks.
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Let x be the mark obtained by Rohit in the third test.

Then


Hence Rohit should get a minimum of 60 marks to get an average of atleast 65 marks.


Q5. A solution is to be kept between  and  What is the range of temperature in degree Fahrenheit.What is the range of temperature in degree Fahrenheit if conversion formula is given by  where C and F represent temperature in degree Celcius and degree Fahrenheit?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

According to the question 

Since  , we get 


Hence  the range of temperature in degree Fahrenheit is between  and 


Q6. The longest side of a triangle is three times the shortest side and the third side is 2cm shorter than the longest side if the perimeter of the triangles at least 61cm, find the minimum length of the shortest side.
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Let the shortest side of a triangle be x cm.Then the length of the longest side is3x cm and the length of the third side is (3x-2) cm.

Given the perimeter of the triangles at least 61cm


Hence the minimum length of the shortest side = 9 cm


Q7. Which of the following is correct ?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Given 0  -7

Multiplying throughout by -1,we get0  7  [ When both sides of an inequality are multiplied by a negative number ,then the sign of inequality is reversed]



Q8. Solve the inequality 3 − 2x ≤ 9
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q9. Given that x is an integer, find the values of x which satisfy both 2x + 3 > 7 and x + 4 < 10
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


Since x is an integer the solution set 


Since x is an integer the solution set =


Hence the integer values which satisfy both the inequalities are



Q10. The solution for the simultaneous linear inequalities 2x − 3 ≤ 7 and − x ≤ 2 is :
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


Therefore the solution of the simultaneous linear equalities is
