∴ The correct answer is option (3).
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 4:
One-fifth of the trees in a garden are mango trees. Half of the trees are Ashoka trees and the remaining are neem trees. If the number of neem trees is twelve, how many mango trees are there in the garden ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 4 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Let's assume total number of trees in the garden is = LCM of (5, 2) = 10 unit
So, the number of mango trees = 10 × 1/5 = 2 unit
The number of Ashoka trees = 10 × 1/2 = 5 unit
So, the number of neem trees = 10 - (5 + 2) = 3 unit
Now, according to the question,
3 unit → 12
then, mango trees 2 unit → 12/3 × 2 = 8
∴ The correct answer is 8
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 5:
1800 chocolates were distributed among the students of a class. Each student got twice as many chocolates as the number of students in the class. Calculate the number of students in the class.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 5 Detailed Solution
Deatialed solution:-
Let the number of students in the class be ‘x’
No. of chocolates received by each student = 2x
Total number of chocolates = 2x × x
⇒ 2x2 = 1800
⇒ x2 = 900
⇒ x = √900 = 30
∴ There are 30 students in the class.Top Linear Equation in 1 Variable MCQ Objective Questions
Find the product of two consecutive numbers where four times the first number is 10 more than thrice the second number.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGIVEN :
Four times the first number is 10 more than thrice the second number.
CALCULATION :
Suppose the numbers are ‘a’ and ‘a + 1’.
According to the question :
4a = 3 × (a + 1) + 10
⇒ a = 13
Hence, the numbers are 13 and 14.
∴ Product = 13 × 14 = 182If 80% of my age 6 years ago is the same as 60% of my age after 10 years. What is the product of digits of my present age?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet the present age be x
⇒ Six years ago my age will be = (x - 6)
⇒ Age after 10 years = (x + 10)
According to the question
⇒ 80% of (x – 6) = 60% of (x + 10)
⇒ 4x – 24 = 3x + 30
⇒ x = 54
∴ Product of digits = 5 × 4 = 20
Rajeev was to earn Rs. 500 and a free holiday for seven weeks’ work. He worked for only 5 weeks and earned Rs. 50 and a free holiday. What was the value of the holiday?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
500 + 1 holiday = 7 weeks ----(1)
50 + 1 holiday = 5 weeks ----(2)
⇒ From (1) - (2)
450 = 2 weeks
⇒ 1 week = 225 Rs.
From (1),
⇒ 500 + 1 holiday = 7 × 225
⇒ 1 holiday = 1575 - 500
⇒ 1 holiday = 1075 Rs.Jane won a lottery and gets 1/3rd of the winning amount and donates Rs. 6000 which is 1/6th of amount he got, find how much the lottery was worth.

Ashish purchased 50 kg of grains for Rs. 710 from a grocery shop. The price of rice was Rs. 12 per kilogram and that of wheat is Rs. 17 per kilogram. Find the money he spent on rice.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 10 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total grains = 50 kg, price = Rs. 710
Price of rice per kg = Rs. 12
Price of wheat per kg = Rs. 17
Calculation:
Let Ashish purchased x kg of rice
So, quantity of wheat he purchased = (50 – x)
Now,
⇒x × 12 + (50 – x) × 17 = 710
⇒ 12x + 850 – 17x = 710
⇒ 5x = 140
⇒ x = 28 kg
∴ Money spent on rice = 12 × 28 = Rs. 336
The monthly incomes of Ravi and Shiv are in the ratio 1 : 2 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 1 : 3. If each saves ₹4,000 per month, then find the monthly income of Shiv.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 11 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Ratio of monthly incomes of Ravi and Shiv = 1 : 2
Ratio of monthly expenditures = 1 : 3
Savings per month each = Rs 4,000
Concept Used:
Income – Savings = Expenditure
Calculation:
⇒ Let the monthly incomes of Ravi and Shiv be x and 2x.
⇒ According to the question,
⇒
⇒ 3(x – 4000) = 1(2x – 4000)
⇒ 3x – 12000 = 2x – 4000
⇒ 3x – 2x = 12000 – 4000
⇒ x = 8000
⇒ Income of Shiv = 2x = 2 × 8000 = Rs 16,000
Therefore, the monthly income of Shiv is Rs 16,000.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Linear Equation in 1 Variable Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
1/3rd of the first of the three consecutive odd numbers is 2 more than 1/5th of the third number.
Calculation:
Let, the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4 respectively, then
According to the question,
x × (1/3) = (x + 4) × (1/5) + 2
⇒ x/3 = (x + 4 + 10)/5
⇒ 5x = 3x + 42
⇒ 5x – 3x = 42
⇒ 2x = 42
⇒ x = 21
∴ Second odd number is x + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23
