CBSE Class 8 Maths - Linear Equations In One Variable (Q and A) (#eduvictors)(#class8Maths)

Linear Equations In One Variable

Class 8 Maths

Q & A based on Class 8 NCERT Chapter 

Q1(MCQ): If 3x – 4 (64 – x) = 10, then the value of x is

(a) –266
(b) 133
(c) 66.5
(d) 38



Answer: (d)38
  3x - 256 + 4x =10
  7x = 10 + 256 = 266
  x = 266/7 = 38


Q2: Three consecutive even numbers whose sum is 156 are 51, 52 and 53.
State if the above statement is True or False

Answer: False

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x+2, x+4
∴ x + x+ 2 + x+4 = 156
⇒ 3x + 6 = 156
⇒ 3x = 156 - 6 = 150
⇒ x = 150 /  3 = 50
Thus numbers are 50, 51, 52


Q3: Fifteen added to thrice a whole number gives 93. The number is __________.

Answer: 26



Q4: x = –12 is the solution of the linear equation 5x –3(2x + 1) = 21+x (True or False)

CBSE Class 9 - Maths - Quadrilaterals (Questions and Answers)

Quadrilaterals 

Class 9 NCERT Exemplar Problems and Solutions

Question 1: If angles A,B,C and D of a quadrilateral ABCD, taken in order, are in the ratio 3:7:6:4 then ABCD is a trapezium. Is this statement true? Give reason for your answer.

Solution: Since, the angles are in the ratio 3:7:6:4,

Let these angles be 3x,7x,6x and 4x.

∵Since sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°,

∴3x+7x+6x+4x=360°

⇒ 20x=360°

⇒x=18°

∴The angles are:
   ∠A=3×18°=54°,
  ∠B=7×18°=126°,
  ∠C=6×18°=108° and
 ∠D=4×18°=72°

Since ∠A+∠B=54°+126°=180°. Thus, the sum of co-interior angles is 180°formed by lines AD,BC and transversal AB, ∴, AD∥BC.

So,ABCD is a trapezium.

Hence, the given statement is true.

CBSE Class 6-10 - English Grammar - Error Correction - Subject-Verb Agreement

Error Correction - Subject-Verb Agreement

English Grammar

The verb in a sentence has to agree with the number of the subject.

Rule 1: A singular subject takes a singular verb.
e.g.

A girl _______ (dance/dances) beautifully.  [Answer: dances]

This article _________ (has/have) three paragraphs.  [Answer: has]


Rule 2: A plural subject takes a plural verb.

e.g.

Those girls __________ (dance/dances) beautifully.   [Answer: dance]

These articles _________ (has/have) single paragraph only.  [Answer: have]


Rule 3: If two singular nouns are joined by 'and' and used as the subject, it takes plural verb.

e.g.
Mohan and Sudama  _________ (was/were) fast friends.   [Answer: were]

He and I _________(am/are) going to welcome them. [Answer: are]


Exceptions: Words used in pairs like 'bread and butter', 'bag and baggage' are considered singular and take singular verbs.

e.g. Blogging ______ (is/are) my bread and butter now.
