y = is inversely proportional to x and y = 4 when x = 1/2. Find x when y = 10.
A
2
B
10
C
1/5
D
1/10
CORRECT OPTION:
c
y ∝ 1/x
y = K/x
K = xy
K = (1/2) * 4 ( when y = 4 and x = 1/2)
K = 2
∴y = 2/x
10 = 2/x (when y = 10)
10x = 2
x = 2/10
x = 1/5

What is the integral value of x which satisfy the inequality -1 < 3 -2x \(\leq\) 5?
A
-1. 0, 1, 2
B
-2, 1, 0 , -1
C
0, 1, 2
D
-1, 0, 1
CORRECT OPTION:
d
-1 < 3 -2x and 3 - 2x \(\leq\) 5
2x < 3 + 1 and -2x \(\leq\) 5 - 3
2x < 4 and -2x \(\leq\) 2
x < 2 and x \(\geq\) 2/-2 = x \(\geq\) -1
If -1 \(\leq\) x < 2
it implies that x = -1, 0, 1
