Linear Inequalities Class 11 MCQs Questions with Answers

Question 1.
Sum of two rational numbers is ______ number.
(a) rational
(b) irrational
(c) Integer
(d) Both 1, 2 and 3

Answer

Answer: (a) rational
Hint:
The sum of two rational numbers is a rational number.
Ex: Let two rational numbers are 1/2 and 1/3
Now, 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6 which is a rational number.


Question 2.
If x² = -4 then the value of x is
(a) (-2, 2)
(b) (-2, ∞)
(c) (2, ∞)
(d) No solution

Answer

Answer: (d) No solution
Hint:
Given, x² = -4
Since LHS ≥ 0 and RHS < 0
So, No solution is possible.


Question 3.
Solve: (x + 1)² + (x² + 3x + 2)² = 0
(a) x = -1, -2
(b) x = -1
(c) x = -2
(d) None of these

Answer

Answer: (b) x = -1
Hint:
Given, (x + 1)² + (x² + 3x + 2)² = 0
This is true when each term is equal to zero simultaneously,
So, (x + 1)² = 0 and (x² + 3x + 2)² = 0
⇒ x + 1 = 0 and x² + 3x + 2 = 0
⇒ x = -1, and x = -1, -2
Now, the common solution is x = -1
So, solution of the equation is x = -1


Question 4.
If (x + 3)/(x – 2) > 1/2 then x lies in the interval
(a) (-8, ∞)
(b) (8, ∞)
(c) (∞, -8)
(d) (∞, 8)

Answer

Answer: (a) (-8, ∞)
Hint:
Given,
(x + 3)/(x – 2) > 1/2
⇒ 2(x + 3) > x – 2
⇒ 2x + 6 > x – 2
⇒ 2x – x > -2 – 6
⇒ x > -8
⇒ x ∈ (-8, ∞)


Question 5.
The region of the XOY-plane represented by the inequalities x ≥ 6, y ≥ 2, 2x + y ≤ 10 is
(a) unbounded
(b) a polygon
(c) none of these
(d) exterior of a triangle

Answer

Answer: (c) none of these
Hint:
Given inequalities x ≥ 6, y ≥ 2, 2x + y ≤ 10
Now take x = 6, y = 2 and 2x + y = 10
when x = 0, y = 10
when y = 0, x = 5
So, the points are A(6, 2), B(0, 10) and C(5, 0)

So, the region of the XOY-plane represented by the inequalities x ≥ 6, y ≥ 2, 2x + y ≤ 10 is not defined.


Question 6.
The interval in which f(x) = (x – 1) × (x – 2) × (x – 3) is negative is
(a) x > 2
(b) 2 < x and x < 1
(c) 2 < x < 1 and x < 3
(d) 2 < x < 3 and x < 1

Answer

Answer: (d) 2 < x < 3 and x < 1
Hint:
Given, f(x) = (x – 1) × (x – 2) × (x – 3) has all factors with odd powers.
So, put them zero
i.e. x – 1 = 0, x – 2 = 0, x – 3 = 0
⇒ x = 1, 2, 3
Now, f(x) < 0 when 2 < x < 3 and x < 1


Question 7.
If -2 < 2x – 1 < 2 then the value of x lies in the interval
(a) (1/2, 3/2)
(b) (-1/2, 3/2)
(c) (3/2, 1/2)
(d) (3/2, -1/2)

Answer

Answer: (b) (-1/2, 3/2)
Hint:
Given, -2 < 2x – 1 < 2
⇒ -2 + 1 < 2x < 2 + 1
⇒ -1 < 2x < 3
⇒ -1/2 < x < 3/2
⇒ x ∈(-1/2, 3/2)


Question 8.
The solution of the inequality |x – 1| < 2 is
(a) (1, ∞)
(b) (-1, 3)
(c) (1, -3)
(d) (∞, 1)

Answer

Answer: (b) (-1, 3)
Hint:
Given, |x – 1| < 2
⇒ -2 < x – 1 < 2
⇒ -2 + 1 < x < 2 + 1
⇒ -1 < x < 3
⇒ x ∈ (-1, 3)


Question 9.
If | x − 1| > 5, then
(a) x∈(−∞, −4)∪(6, ∞]
(b) x∈[6, ∞)
(c) x∈(6, ∞)
(d) x∈(−∞, −4)∪(6, ∞)

Answer

Answer: (d) x∈(−∞, −4)∪(6, ∞)
Hint:
Given |x−1| >5
Case 1:
(x – 1) > 5
⇒ x > 6
⇒ x ∈ (6,∞)
Case 2:
-(x – 1) > 5
⇒ -x + 1 > 5
⇒ -x > 4
⇒ x < -4
⇒ x ∈ (−∞, −4)
So the range of x is (−∞, −4)∪(6, ∞)


Question 10.
The solution of |2/(x – 4)| > 1 where x ≠ 4 is
(a) (2, 6)
(b) (2, 4) ∪ (4, 6)
(c) (2, 4) ∪ (4, ∞)
(d) (-∞, 4) ∪ (4, 6)

Answer

Answer: (b) (2, 4) ∪ (4, 6)
Hint:
Given, |2/(x – 4)| > 1
⇒ 2/|x – 4| > 1
⇒ 2 > |x – 4|
⇒ |x – 4| < 2
⇒ -2 < x – 4 < 2
⇒ -2 + 4 < x < 2 + 4
⇒ 2 < x < 6
⇒ x ∈ (2, 6) , where x ≠ 4
⇒ x ∈ (2, 4) ∪ (4, 6)


Question 11.
If (|x| – 1)/(|x| – 2) ‎≥ 0, x ∈ R, x ‎± 2 then the interval of x is
(a) (-∞, -2) ∪ [-1, 1]
(b) [-1, 1] ∪ (2, ∞)
(c) (-∞, -2) ∪ (2, ∞)
(d) (-∞, -2) ∪ [-1, 1] ∪ (2, ∞)

Answer

Answer: (d) (-∞, -2) ∪ [-1, 1] ∪ (2, ∞)
Hint:
Given, (|x| – 1)/(|x| – 2) ‎≥ 0
Let y = |x|
So, (y – 1)/(y – 2) ‎≥ 0
⇒ y ≤ 1 or y > 2
⇒ |x| ≤ 1 or |x| > 2
⇒ (-1 ≤ x ≤ 1) or (x < -2 or x > 2)
⇒ x ∈ [-1, 1] ∪ (-∞, -2) ∪ (2, ∞)
Hence the solution set is:
x ∈ (-∞, -2) ∪ [-1, 1] ∪ (2, ∞)


Question 12.

(a) 56/3 < x < 14/3
(b) -56/3 < x < -14/3
(c) 56/3 < x < -14/3
(d) -56/3 < x < 14/3

Answer

Answer: (d) -56/3 < x < 14/3
Hint:
Given inequality is :
-12 < (4 -3x)/(-5) < 2
⇒ -2 < (4-3x)/5 < 12
⇒ -2 × 5 < 4 – 3x < 12 × 5
⇒ -10 < 4 – 3x < 60
⇒ -10 – 4 < -3x < 60-4
⇒ -14 < -3x < 56
⇒ -56 < 3x < 14
⇒ -56/3 < x < 14/3

Now take x = 0, y = 0 and 3x + 4y = 12
when x = 0, y = 3
when y = 0, x = 4
So, the points are A(0, 0), B(0, 3) and C(4, 0)
