(A) x=2 and y=3

(B) x=3 and y=2

(C) x=3 and y=1/3

(D) x=2 and y=1/2

Solution:-

1.The given sequence is an arithmetic progression (AP) with:

- First term (a) = 1

- Common difference (d) = 4 – 1 = 3

To find the 101st term, we can use the formula:


An = a + (n-1)d

Where an is the nth term, a is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common
difference.

Substituting the values, we get:

An = 1 + (101-1)3

= 1 + 100 × 3

= 1 + 300

= 301

The correct answer is (C) 301.

2.The given sequence is an arithmetic progression (AP) with:

- First term (a) = 10

- Common difference (d) = 20 – 10 = 10


- Last term (l) = 1000

To find the sum of the sequence, we can use the formula:

Sum = n/2 × (a + l)

Where n is the number of terms.


First, let’s find the number of terms (n):

10, 20, 30, …, 1000

We can see that the sequence starts from 10 and increases by 10 each time, so we can write:

10 + (n-1) × 10 = 1000

Simplifying the equation:

10n – 10 = 1000

10n = 1010

N = 101

Now that we have the number of terms (n = 101), we can find the sum:

Sum = 101/2 × (10 + 1000)

= 50.5 × 1010
= 50,505

Rounding to the nearest hundred (since the options are given in hundreds), we get:

Sum ≈ 50,500
So, the correct answer is B)50,500.
3. 20/x + 16/x = 12

Combine like terms:

(20 + 16)/x = 12

36/x = 12

Multiply both sides by x:

36 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12:


X = 36/12

X=3

So, the correct answer is (D) 3.

4. solve the problem step by step:

Person-A can complete the work in 10 days, so their work rate is:

1/10 of the work per day

Person-B can complete the work in 12 days, so their work rate is:

1/12 of the work per day

When they work together, their combined work rate is:

(1/10 + 1/12) of the work per day

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 60. So we get:


(6/60 + 5/60) of the work per day

Combine the fractions:

11/60 of the work per day

Since they can complete 11/60 of the work in one day, they can complete the entire work in:

60/11 days

Convert this to days and hours:

5 days and 11/11 hours

Simplify the fraction:

5 days and 1 hour

So, the correct answer is indeed (A) 5 days and 11 hours (approximately).

5. Let's solve the problem step by step:

To find the average marks, we need to add up all the marks and divide by the number of subjects.

Marks obtained:
- Physics: 60

- Chemistry: 50

- Statistics: 70

- English: 65

- Biology: 85

- Mathematics: 0

Total marks = 60 + 50 + 70 + 65 + 85 + 0 = 330

Number of subjects = 6

Average marks = Total marks / Number of subjects

= 330 / 6

= 55

So, the correct answer is (A) 55.

6.Let’s solve the pair of equations step by step:

Equation 1: 3x + 9y = 12
Equation 2: 10x – 18y = 24

We can solve this system of equations using substitution or elimination. Let’s use elimination.

First, let’s multiply Equation 1 by 2 to make the coefficients of y opposites:

6x + 18y = 24
Now, add this equation to Equation 2:

(6x + 18y) + (10x – 18y) = 24 + 24

Combine like terms:

16x = 48

Divide by 16:

X = 48/16
X=3

Now that we have x, substitute x into one of the original equations to find y. Let’s use Equation
1:

3x + 9y = 12

3(3) + 9y = 12

9 + 9y = 12

Subtract 9 from both sides:

9y = 3

Divide by 9:
Y = 3/9

Y = 1/3

So, the correct answer is (C) x = 3 and y = 1/3.
