Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace * signs and to balance the following equation.
7*5*5*4* 10

    • $\div$ - =
  1. $\times $ - = $\times $

  2. $\times $ + = $\times$

    • $\times \div $ =

Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Given,

$7**5*4* 10$

Now, we have

$7 \times5 + 5 = 4 \times 10$

$35+5=4 \times 10$

$40 =40$

If $x$ and $y$ are any two positive real numbers, then $x > y$ implies

  1. $- x > - y$

  2. $- x < - y$

  3. $\frac{1}{x} > \frac{1}{y}$

  4. $-\frac{1}{x} > \frac{1}{y}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$ Given\quad that\quad x\quad and\quad y\quad are\quad positive\quad number\quad and\quad x>y.\ We\quad may\quad calculate\ (a)\quad on\quad the\quad positive\quad side\quad of\quad number\quad line\quad x\quad will\quad be\ \quad \quad to\quad the\quad right\quad of\quad y\quad and\quad \ (b)\quad on\quad the\quad negative\quad side\quad of\quad the\quad number\quad line\quad x\quad will\ \quad \quad be\quad to\quad the\quad left\quad of\quad y.\ Statement\quad A\longrightarrow -x>-y\quad i.e\quad -x\quad to\quad the\quad right\quad side\quad of\quad -y\ which\quad is\quad not\quad complying\quad with\quad (b).\quad So\quad it\quad is\quad not\quad true.\ Statement\quad B\longrightarrow -x<-y\quad i.e\quad -x\quad lies\quad to\quad the\quad left\quad of\quad -y.\ This\quad complies\quad with\quad (b).\quad So\quad the\quad statement\quad is\quad true.\ Statement\quad C\longrightarrow \frac { 1 }{ x } >\frac { 1 }{ y } .\quad Here\quad the\quad numerators\quad of\quad the\ two\quad fractions\quad are\quad equal.\quad But\quad the\quad denominator\quad of\quad \frac { 1 }{ x } \ is\quad greater\quad than\quad that\quad of\quad \frac { 1 }{ y } .\ So\quad this\quad statement\quad is\quad not\quad true.\ Statement\quad D\longrightarrow -\frac { 1 }{ x } >\frac { 1 }{ y } ,\ -\frac { 1 }{ x } is\quad a\quad negative\quad number\quad so\quad it\quad will\quad always\quad be\quad smaller\ than\quad a\quad positive\quad number.\ \therefore \quad -\frac { 1 }{ x } \ngtr \frac { 1 }{ y } .\quad So\quad this\quad statement\quad is\quad not\quad true.\ Answer-\quad Statement\quad B\quad is\quad correct.\  $

Which one of the following statements is correct?

  1. There can be a real number which is both rational and irrational.

If the decimal number $\displaystyle 2^{111}$ is written in the octal system then what is its unit place digit?

  1. $0$

  2. $1$

  3. $2$

  4. $3$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Here,$ 2^{111}$ = $2^{3\times27}$
which is divisible by $2^{3} = 8$
Hence, the digit in the unit place is 0

Place value of a digit decreases by _____ times as it moves place by place from left to right.

  1. $100$

  2. $\dfrac {1}{10}$

  3. $10$

  4. $1000$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

chart of place value
thous hund  tens  ones
1        0         0      0

Hundred is $\dfrac{1}{10}$ less than thousand
Similarly, tens is $\dfrac{1}{10}$ less than hundred
So, the required answer is $\dfrac{1}{10}$
