Answer:

The given inequality is 24x < 100.

(i) It is evident that 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the only natural numbers less than.

Thus, when x is a natural number, the solutions of the given inequality are 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Hence, in this case, the solution set is {1, 2, 3, 4}.

(ii) The integers less than are …–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Thus, when x is an integer, the solutions of the given inequality are

…–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Hence, in this case, the solution set is {…–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.

Answer:

The given inequality is –12x > 30.

(i) There is no natural number less than.

Answer:

Let x be the smaller of the two consecutive odd positive integers. Then, the other integer is x + 2.

Since both the integers are smaller than 10,

x + 2 < 10

⇒ x < 10 – 2

⇒ x < 8 … (i)

Also, the sum of the two integers is more than 11.

∴x + (x + 2) > 11

⇒ 2x + 2 > 11

⇒ 2x > 11 – 2

⇒ 2x > 9

From (i) and (ii), we obtain $4.5<x<8.$

Since x is an odd number, x can take the values, 5 and 7.

Thus, the required possible pairs are (5, 7) and (7, 9).

Answer:

Let x be the smaller of the two consecutive even positive integers. Then, the other integer is x + 2.

Since both the integers are larger than 5,

x > 5 ... (1)

Also, the sum of the two integers is less than 23.

x + (x + 2) < 23

⇒ 2x + 2 < 23

⇒ 2x < 23 – 2

⇒ 2x < 21

From (1) and (2), we obtain 5 < x < 10.5.

Since x is an even number, x can take the values, 6, 8, and 10.

Thus, the required possible pairs are (6, 8), (8, 10), and (10, 12).

Answer:

Let the length of the shortest side of the triangle be x cm.

Then, length of the longest side = 3x cm

Length of the third side = (3x – 2) cm

Since the perimeter of the triangle is at least 61 cm,

Thus, the minimum length of the shortest side is 9 cm.

Answer:

Let the length of the shortest piece be x cm. Then, length of the second piece and the third piece are (x + 3) cm and 2x cm respectively.

Since the three lengths are to be cut from a single piece of board of length 91 cm,

x cm + (x + 3) cm + 2x cm ≤ 91 cm

⇒ 4x + 3 ≤ 91

⇒ 4x ≤ 91 ­– 3

⇒ 4x ≤ 88

Also, the third piece is at least 5 cm longer than the second piece.

∴2x ≥ (x + 3) + 5

⇒ 2x ≥ x + 8

⇒ x ≥ 8 … (2)

From (1) and (2), we obtain

8 ≤ x ≤ 22

Thus, the possible length of the shortest board is greater than or equal to 8 cm but less than or equal to 22 cm.

⇒ x > –5 … (1)

6 – x > 11 – 2x

⇒ –x + 2x > 11 – 6

⇒ x > 5 … (2)

From (1) and (2), it can be concluded that the solution set for the given system of inequalities is. The solution of the given system of inequalities can be represented on number line as

Answer:

5(2x – 7) – 3(2x + 3) ≤ 0

⇒ 10x – 35 – 6x – 9 ≤ 0

⇒ 4x – 44 ≤ 0

⇒ 4x ≤ 44

⇒ x ≤ 11 … (1)

2x + 19 ≤ 6x + 47

⇒ 19 – 47 ≤ 6x – 2x

⇒ –28 ≤ 4x

⇒ –7 ≤ x … (2)

From (1) and (2), it can be concluded that the solution set for the given system of inequalities is [–7, 11]. The solution of the given system of inequalities can be represented on number line as

Answer:

Since the solution is to be kept between 68°F and 77°F,

68 < F < 77

Putting we obtain

Thus, the required range of temperature in degree Celsius is between 20°C and 25°C.

Answer:

Let x litres of 2% boric acid solution is required to be added.

Then, total mixture = (x + 640) litres

This resulting mixture is to be more than 4% but less than 6% boric acid.

∴2%x + 8% of 640 > 4% of (x + 640)

And, 2% x + 8% of 640 < 6% of (x + 640)

2%x + 8% of 640 > 4% of (x + 640)

⇒ 2x + 5120 > 4x + 2560

⇒ 5120 – 2560 > 4x – 2x

⇒ 5120 – 2560 > 2x

⇒ 2560 > 2x

⇒ 1280 > x

2% x + 8% of 640 < 6% of (x + 640)

⇒ 2x + 5120 < 6x + 3840

⇒ 5120 – 3840 < 6x – 2x

⇒ 1280 < 4x

⇒ 320 < x

∴320 < x < 1280

Thus, the number of litres of 2% of boric acid solution that is to be added will have to be more than 320 litres but less than 1280 litres.

Answer:

Let x litres of water is required to be added.

Then, total mixture = (x + 1125) litres

It is evident that the amount of acid contained in the resulting mixture is 45% of 1125 litres.

This resulting mixture will contain more than 25% but less than 30% acid content.

∴30% of (1125 + x) > 45% of 1125

And, 25% of (1125 + x) < 45% of 1125

30% of (1125 + x) > 45% of 1125

25% of (1125 + x) < 45% of 1125

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{25}{100}\left(1125 + x\right)<\frac{45}{100}\times 1125 \\ \Rightarrow 25\left(1125 + x\right)<45\times 1125 \\ \Rightarrow 25\times 1125 +25x<45\times 1125 \\ \Rightarrow 25x<45\times 1125 -25\times 1125 \\ \Rightarrow 25x<22500 \\ \Rightarrow x<900 \end{gathered}$$

∴ 562.5 < x < 900

Thus, the required number of litres of water that is to be added will have to be more than 562.5 but less than 900.

Answer:

It is given that for a group of 12 years old children, 80 ≤ IQ ≤ 140 … (i)

For a group of 12 years old children, CA = 12 years

Putting this value of IQ in (i), we obtain

Thus, the range of mental age of the group of 12 years old children is .
