B Correct answer
Explanation

Given,

${ 2 }^{ 2x-y }=32$
${ 2 }^{ x+y }=16$
these equations can be writtn as
${ 2 }^{ \left( 2x-y \right)  }={ 2 }^{ 5 }$
$\Rightarrow 2x-y=5$.......................eq1
${ 2 }^{ x+y }={ 2 }^{ 4 }$
$\Rightarrow x+y=4$...........................eq2
on adding both equations
$ x+y=4$
$2x-y=5$
_______________________
$3x=9$
$x=3$
putting the value of x we get the value of y
$3+y=4$
$y=1$
putting the values of x and y we get
${ x }^{ 2 }+{ y }^{ 2 }$
${ 3 }^{ 2 }+{ 1 }^{ 2 }=9+1=10$

B Correct answer
Explanation
$\left ( x+y \right )^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} \right )^{-1}\left ( xy^{-1}+x^{-1}y \right )^{-1}$
$\frac{1}{x+y}\left ( \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} \right )\left ( \frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}^{-1} \right )$
=$\frac{1}{x+y}\left ( \frac{x+y}{xy} \right )\left ( \frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{xy} \right )^{-1}$
=$\frac{1}{x+y}\times \frac{x+y}{xy}\times \frac{xy}{x^{2}+y^{2}}$
=$\left ( \frac{1}{x^{2}+y^{2}} \right )=(x^{2}+y^{2})^{-1}$

The angles between the lines $3 x + y - 7 = 0 \text { and } x + 2 y + 9 = 0$ is:

  1. $\dfrac { \pi } { 3 }$
  2. $\dfrac { \pi } { 6 }$
  3. $\dfrac { \pi } { 2 }$
  4. $\dfrac { \pi } { 4 }$

D Correct answer
Explanation
Slope of the line $y=-3x+7$ is $-3$
Slope of the line $2y=-x-9$ or $y=\dfrac{-1}{2}x-\dfrac{9}{2}$ is $-\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\therefore\,{m} _{1}=-3,\,{m} _{2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Angle between the line $=\tan{\theta}=\left|\dfrac{{m} _{1}-{m} _{2}}{1+{m} _{1}{m} _{2}}\right|$

$=\left|\dfrac{-3+\dfrac{1}{2}}{1+\left(-3\right)\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}\right|$

$=\left|\dfrac{\dfrac{-5}{2}}{1+\dfrac{3}{2}}\right|$

$=\left|\dfrac{\dfrac{-5}{2}}{\dfrac{2+3}{2}}\right|$

$=\left|\dfrac{\dfrac{-5}{2}}{\dfrac{5}{2}}\right|$

$\tan{\theta}=1$

$\therefore\,\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$

If $4x+3y=120$, find how many non-negative integer solutions are possible?

  1. $1$
  2. $11$

  3. Infinite

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

We can write the equation in another form $4(x-3)+3(y+4)=120$
Now, we make a table

x 30 27 24 21 18 15 12 9 6 3 0
y 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40

 We observe a patter that $x$ reduces by $3$ and $y$ increases by $4$. But both $x$ and $y$ cannot be negative or $0$. So, the value of $x=0$ and $y=0$ is ruled out. Hence, nine such positive integer solutions are possible.
Alternately, we can write the given equation as $4(x+3)+3(y-4)=120$. We get the same values of $x$ and $y$
