Solution:

Question 5.
Solve the inequation :
3 – 2x ≥ x – 12 given that x ∈ N. [1987]
Solution:
3 – 2x ≥ x – 12
⇒ – 2x – x ≥ – 12 – 3
⇒ – 3x ≥ -15
⇒ – x ≥ – 5
⇒ x ≤ 5
Solution Set= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} or {x ∈ N : x ≤ 5}

Question 6.
If 25 – 4x ≤ 16, find:
(i) the smallest value of x, when x is a real number
(ii) the smallest value of x, when x is an integer.
Solution:
25 – 4x ≤ 16
⇒ – 4x ≤ 16 – 25
⇒ – 4x ≤ – 9
⇒ 4x ≥ 9
x ≥ $$\frac { 9 }{ 4 }$$
(i) The smallest value of x, when x is a real number $$\frac { 9 }{ 4 }$$ or 2.25
(ii) The smallest value of x, when x is an integer 3.

Question 7.
If the replacement set is the set of real numbers, solve:

Solution:

Question 8.
Find the smallest value of x for which 5 – 2x < 5$$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ – $$\frac { 5 }{ 3 }$$ x, where x is an integer.
Solution:

Question 9.
Find the largest value of x for which 2 (x – 1) ≤ 9 – x and x ∈ W.
Solution:
2 (x – 1) ≤ 9 – x
⇒ 2x – 2 ≤ 9 – x
⇒ 2x + x ≤ 9 + 2
⇒ 3x ≤ 11
⇒ x ≤ $$\frac { 11 }{ 3 }$$
⇒ x ≤ 3$$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$
x ∈ W and value of x is largest x = 3

Question 10.
Solve the inequation:
12 + 1$$\frac { 5 }{ 6 }$$ x ≤ 5 + 3x and x ∈ R. (1999)
Solution:

Question 11.
Given x ∈ (integers), find the solution set of: -5 ≤ 2x – 3 < x + 2.
Solution:
-5 ≤ 2x – 3 < x + 2
(i) -5 ≤ 2x – 3
⇒ -2x ≤ -3 + 5
⇒ -2x ≤ 2
⇒ x ≤ -1
⇒ -1 ≤ x
(ii) 2x – 3 < x + 2
⇒ 2x – x < 2 + 3
⇒ x < 5
From (i) and (ii),
-1 ≤ x < 5
x = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

Question 12.
Given x ∈ (whole numbers), find the solution set of: -1 ≤ 3 + 4x < 23.
Solution:
-1 ≤ 3 + 4x < 23
(i) -1 ≤ 3 + 4x
⇒ -1 – 3 ≤ 4x
⇒ -4 < 4x
⇒ -1 ≤ x
(ii) 3 + 4x < 23
⇒ 4x < 23 – 3
⇒ 4x < 20
⇒ x < 5
From (i) and (ii)
-1 ≤ x < 5 and x ∈ W
Solution set = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
