3. If 3x – 4 = 4x + 5
Col A: 2x + 2
Col B: 4x – 3
Ans :
A B
2x+2 4x-3
(4x+5)-8 { replace 4x+5 by 3x -4 }
(3x-4)-8
{replace lhs "2x+2"by "x-7"}
{
because 3x-4 = 4x + 5
= 2x + 2x + 2 + 3
x - 7 = 2x + 2
}
continued :
A B
x-7 3x - 12
3(x-7) + 9
{ let x-7 = Y }
Y 3Y + 9
if Y is +ve then B is greater
if Y is 0 then B is greater
if Y is -ve B is greater so answer should be B pls correct me if i am wrong |

7. thatiparthi : thanks for bringing in 83,I had marked equal bu just 23..
How did you zero in on 83?
my approach was to deduce that (n-5) was divisible by 6
and (n-3) was divisible by 5
then i tried it for 23.It never occured to me to try for different nos like 83
pls let me know your approach |

total / no. of items = mean..
so mean of their annual salary = 90,000+60,000 +.... / 5 = 36000
where as Column B = 37,500.. so ans : B |

for pentagon, the total internal angle= (n-2)x180 = (5-2)x180 = 540
540-84 = 456
then, X=456/4 = 114
that's why, Col A>Col B |
