A pair of linear equations is consistent if it has a solution, either a unique or infinitely many. 

A father’s age is six times his son’s age. Twenty years hence, the father will be twice his son’s age. The respective present ages (in years) of the son and the father are

  1. 4 and 24

  2. 5 and 30

  3. 6 and 36

  4. 7 and 42

  5. 8 and 48


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The present age of son is 5 years and the present age of father is 6 x 5 = 30 years.

One angle of a triangle measures 30o and the difference between the remaining two angles is 40 degree. The values of the angles are

  1. 85, 45

  2. 90, 50

  3. 95, 55

  4. 100, 60

  5. 105, 65


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If the other two angles are x and y, then x + y + 30 = 180.

The common solution of linear equations x = - 2 and y = 3 is

  1. (- 2, 0)

  2. (0, 3)

  3. (3, - 2)

  4. (- 2, 3)

  5. (3, 0)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 These lines intersect each other at point (- 2, 3).

The pair of linear equations x = 4 and x = 6 gives

  1. no solution

  2. one solution

  3. two solutions

  5. 110


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The number of questions answered correctly is 100.

The sum of ages of A and B 10 years ago was 45 years. The sum of ages of A and B 10 years hence will be

  1. 55

  2. 65

  3. 75

  4. 85

  5. 95


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sum of their ages 10 years hence will be = 45 +40 = 85 

The sum of heights of A and B is 320 cm and the difference of their heights is 20 cm. The height of B can be

  1. 140 cm

  2. 145 cm

  3. 150 cm

  4. 155 cm

If 99x + 101y = 400 and 101x + 99y = 600, then the value of x + y is

  1. 4

  2. 5

  3. 6

  4. 8

  5. 10


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Adding the two equations, 200x + 200y = 1000 Or 200(x + y) = 1000 Or x + y = 5

The pair of linear equations x - 3y - 2 = 0 and 2x - 6y - 5 = 0 has

  1. a unique solution

  2. no solution

  3. two solutions

  4. three solutions

The linear equation 2x + 3y - 5 = 0 has

  1. no solution

  2. exactly one solution

  3. two solutions

  4. three solutions

  5. infinitely many solutions


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Each solution (x, y) of this linear equation corresponds to a point on a line. Since a line consists of infinitely large number of points, the linear equation has infinitely many solutions.
