Multiplying both sides of the equation 2x + y = 5 by 2 yields 2(2x + y) = 2(5), which simplifies to 4x + 2y = 10.

Q123.If T³ - 3T + 1 = 0, find the value of T³ + 1/T³?

Medium
A 1
B 4
C 6
D 18
Algebraic Identities PPSC

Correct Answer: D

Dividing T³ - 3T + 1 = 0 by T gives T² - 3 + 1/T = 0, so T + 1/T = 3. Using the algebraic identity (T + 1/T)³ = T³ + 1/T³ + 3(T + 1/T), we substitute 3: 3³ = T³ + 1/T³ + 3(3) => 27 = T³ + 1/T³ + 9 => T³ + 1/T³ = 18.

48 eggs = 4 dozen. Cost of additional eggs = 4 × Rs. 12 = Rs. 48. Total cost = Rs. 100 + Rs. 48 = Rs. 148.

Q127.If A = 1 and H = 8, then what is the value of A + H - 2?

Medium
A 7
B 6
C 8
D 10
Algebraic Expressions PPSC

Substituting the values: A + H - 2 = 1 + 8 - 2 = 7.

Q128.What is the result of 9 × 8 - 5?

Medium
A 72
B 67
C 70
D 69
Algebraic Expressions PPSC

Correct Answer: B

Multiplication before subtraction: 9 × 8 - 5 = 72 - 5 = 67.

Q129.Simplify: x + x - 2 =?

Medium
A 2x - 2
B x² - 2
C 2x + 2
D x - 2
Algebraic Expressions PPSC

Correct Answer: A

Combine like terms: x + x - 2 = 2x - 2.

Q130.Solve for X: X/12 = -3

Medium
A -15
B -24
C -36
D -48
Linear Equations PPSC

Correct Answer: C

Multiplying both sides by 12 yields X = -3 × 12 = -36.

Q131.If x² - x = 12 and y² - y = 12, what is the possible value of x - y?

Medium
A 0
B ±7
C ±1
D ±3
Simultaneous Equations PPSC

Correct Answer: B

Solving the quadratic z² - z - 12 = 0 gives (z - 4)(z + 3) = 0, so roots are 4 and -3. Thus x and y can be 4 or -3. If x=4 and y=-3, then x-y = 7. If x=-3 and y=4, then x-y = -7. Therefore, possible values are 0 or ±7.

Q132.5x - 4 = 4x - 4. Value of x

Medium
A 2
B 4
C 6
D 0
Algebraic Expressions PPSC

Correct Answer: D

5x - 4 = 4x - 4. Subtracting 4x from both sides gives: x - 4 = -4. Adding 4 to both sides gives: x = 0.

Q133.What number when multiplied by itself gives 5 more than 20 ?

Medium
A 2
B 4
C 5
D 7
Algebraic Expressions PPSC

Correct Answer: C

Let the number be x. x * x = 20 + 5 => x^2 = 25 => x = 5 (since 5 is the positive option).

Q134.What number when multiplied by itself gives 6 more than 30 ?

Medium
A 5
B 6
C 4
D 7
Algebraic Expressions PPSC

Correct Answer: B

Let the number be x. x^2 = 30 + 6 => x^2 = 36 => x = 6.

Q135.What number when multiplied by itself gives 4 more than 60 ?

Medium
A 6
B 4
C 8
D 9
Algebraic Expressions PPSC

Correct Answer: C

Let the number be x. x^2 = 60 + 4 => x^2 = 64 => x = 8.

Q136.If a value is added on both sides of the equation, it is called?

Medium
A Reciprocal Law
B Additional Value
C Associative Law
D Addition Property of Equality
Algebraic Expressions PPSC

Correct Answer: D

The Addition Property of Equality states that if you add the same value to both sides of an equation, the equation remains balanced and true.

Medium
A y = x
B x² = y
C x = y²
D y = 2x
Algebraic Expressions PPSC
