- Question
- If x + y - 7 = 0 and 3x + y - 13 = 0, then what is 4x 2 + y 2 + 4xy equal to?
Options- A. 75
- B. 85
- C. 91
- D. 100
- Correct Answer
- 100
Explanationwe have, x + y - 7 = 0
? x + y = 7 ...(i)
and 3x + y - 13 = 0
? 3x + y = 13 ..(ii)
By subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
3x + y = 13
x + y = 7
----------------------
2x = 6 ...(ii)
? x = 3
On putting the value of x in Eq. (i), we get
3 + y = 7
? y = 4
Now, 4x2 + y2 + 4xy
= 4 x (3)2 + (4)2 + 4 x 3 x 4
= 4 x 9 + 16 + 48
= 36 + 16 + 48 = 100 - 1. If 3x + 7y = 75 and 5x - 5y = 25, what is the value of x + y?

Correct Answer: 17
Explanation:
3x + 7y = 75 ..(i)
5x - 5y = 25
? x - y = 5 ...(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 7 and adding to Eq. (i), we get
3x + 7y = 75
7x - 7y = 35
------------------
10x = 110
x = 11
? Putting the value of x in Eq. (ii), we get
11 - y = 5
? y = 6
? x + y = 6 + 11 = 17
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
2x + 3y = 29 ...(i)
and y = x + 3 ...(ii)
Putting the value of y from Eq. (ii) to Eq. (i), we get
2x + 3y = 29
2x + 3(x + 3) = 29
2x + 3x + 9 = 29
? 5x = 20
? x = 4
Correct Answer: ?93
Explanation:
Cost of 5 pens + 8 pencils = ?31
On multiplying by 3
15 pens + 24 pencils = 3 x 31 =
?15 pens + 24 pencils = 93
Correct Answer: ?230/-
Explanation:
Let us assume 1 pen cost be ? x and 1 pencil cost be ? y.
According to question,
The Cost of 36 pens and 42 pencils is 460.
36x + 42y = 460 ...................(1)
then the cost of 18 pens and 21 pencils = 18x + 21y.
Now divide the Equation (1) by 2. We will get,
18x + 21y = 230
So the Cost of 18 pens and 21 pencils = 18x + 21y = 230
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Let the number be x.
According to question,
x - 20 = 7x/12
? x - 7x/12 = 20
? (12x - 7x)/12 = 20
? 5x/12 = 20
? x = 20 x 12/5
? x = 4 x 12
? x = 48
Sum of the digits of 48 = 4 + 8 = 12
Correct Answer: 17/8
Explanation:
Given, 3x + y = 81
? 3x + y = 34
? x + y = 4 ...(i)
and 81x - y = 3 or (34)x - y = 3
? x - y = 1/4
On solving the Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
2x = 17/4 ? x = 17/8
Correct Answer: x=1, y=3/2
Explanation:
Given equation are 6x + 3y = 7xy
? (6/y) + (3/x) = 7 .....(i)
And 3x + 9y = 11xy
? (3/y) + (9/x) = 11 .....(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 2 and subtracting from Eq. (i), we get
(6/y) + (3/x) = 7
(6/y) + (18/x) = 22
-------------------------
- 15/x = - 15
? x = 1
On putting this value in Eq. (i), we get
(6/y) + 3 = 7
? 6/y = 4
? y = 6/4 = 3/2
Correct Answer: 34
Explanation:
Let hens = H, goats = G
According to the question,
H + G = 90 ...(i)
2H + 4G = 248 ...(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 and subtracting from Eq. (ii) , we get
2H + 2G = 180
2H + 4G = 248
-------------------
-2G = -68
? G = 34
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Let the number be x and y.
Then, according to the question,
x + y = 15 ...(1)
x - y = 3 ...(ii)
on adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
2x = 18
? x = 9
On putting the value of in Eq. (i), we get
y = 6
? Product = xy = 54
Correct Answer: 3/5 < x ? 2
Explanation:
6x + 1 > 7 - 4x
