Solutions
1. C
Let x be the breadth of a rectangle.

⇒ As it is given that length = 4x

= Given that the minimum perimeter of a rectangle is 160 cm.

= 2 (4x + x) ≥ 160

= 5x ≥ 80

Therefore the result is x ≥ 16


2. A
Given, -3x + 15 < -12

⇒ Subtracting 15 from both sides,

= -3x + 15 – 15 < -12 – 15

= -3x < -27

⇒ x > 9 {since the division by negative number inverts the


inequality sign}

Therefore the result is x ∈ (9, ∞)


3. C
Since it is given that x, y and b are real numbers where x < y, b <
0.

⇒ Suppose, x < y

⇒ Divide both sides of the inequality by “b”

Therefore x/b < y/b {as b < 0}


4. C
|x – 2| > 6

⇒ x – 2 < – 6 and x – 2 > 6


⇒ x < -4 and x > 8

Therefore, x ∈ (-∞, -4) U (8, ∞)


5. D
Since it is given that: |x – 8|/(x – 8) ≥ 0

⇒ This is possible when x – 8 ≥ 0, and x – 8 ≠ 0.

⇒ Here, x ≥ 8 but x ≠ 8

Therefore, x > 8, i.e. x ∈ (8, ∞).


6. D
Since it is given that, |x + 5| ≥ 10

⇒ x + 5 ≤ – 10 or x + 5 ≥ 10

⇒ x ≤ – 15 or x ≥ 5

Therefore the result is x ∈ (– ∞, – 15] ∪ [5, ∞)


7. B
Since it is given that, 4x + 4 < 6x + 5

⇒ Subtracting 4 from both sides,

= 4x + 4 – 4 < 6x + 5 – 4

= 4x < 6x + 1

⇒ Subtracting 6x from both sides,

= 4x – 6x < 6x + 1 – 6x

⇒ – 2x < 1 or

⇒ x > – ½ i.e., all the real numbers greater than –1/2, are the
solutions of the given inequality.

Hence, the solution set is (–1/2, ∞), i.e. x ∈ (-1/2, ∞)


8. D
Since it is given that: 2x – 5 > 3 – 8x
⇒ 2x + 8x > 3 + 17

⇒ 10x > 20

Therefore the result is x > 2


9. A
Suppose that x is the mark obtained by Ravi in the third unit test.

⇒ It is given that the student should have an average of at least 60


marks.

⇒ From the given information, we can write the linear inequality


as

⇒ (80 + 80 + x)/3 ≥ 90

⇒ Now, simplify the expression: (160 + x) ≥ 270

⇒ x ≥ 270 -160

Therefore the result is x ≥ 90


10. A
The addition of two linear inequalities are as follows: a + b > y + b
11. C
The subtraction of two linear inequalities are as follows: a + b > y
+b
12. C
5x + 2 > 12

⇒ 5x > 10

⇒ x > -2 ……Dividing by 5

Hence the solution (-2, ∞)


13. A
5x-2 ≤ 3x+2

⇒ 5x-2x ≤ 1+2

⇒ 3x ≤ 3
⇒x≤1

Hence the solution {…, -2, -1, 0, 1}


14. B
It is given that 50x < 150

⇒ Dividing both sides by 50

⇒x<3

Hence the solution set {1,2}


15.A
It is given that 9x > -36

⇒ x > -4 ………(Divide by 6)

Therefore the result is x > -4
