NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 5 - Linear Inequalities
Ex 5.1 Question 1.
Solve $24 x<100$ when:
(i) $x$ is a natural number
(ii) $x$ is an integer
Answer.
Given: $24 \mathrm{x}<100$
Divide both sides by 24 ,
$
\begin{aligned}
& =>\frac{24 x}{24}<\frac{100}{24} \\
& =>x<\frac{25}{6}
\end{aligned}
$
(i) When $x$ is a natural number then values of $x$ that make statement true are 1, 2, 3, 4. The solution set of inequality is $\{1,2,3,4\}$.
(ii) When $\mathbf{x}$ is an integer, then values of $\mathbf{x}$ that make statement true for all (-ve number and $0,1,2,3,4)$. So, The solution set of inequality is $\{\ldots . . .,-4,-3-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4\}$.
Ex 5.1 Question 2.
Solve $-12 x>30$ when:
(i) $x$ is a natural number
(ii) $x$ is an integer
Answer.
Given: $-12 \mathrm{x}>30$
Divide both sides by -12 , then we get,
$
\begin{aligned}
& =>\frac{-12 x}{-12}<\frac{30}{-12} \\
& =>x<-\frac{5}{2}
\end{aligned}
$
(i) There is no natural number less than $-\frac{5}{2}$, so when $\mathrm{x}$ is natural number, there is no solution for the given inequality.
(ii) When $x$ is an integer then values of $x$ that make statement true for \{ $\qquad$ $,-5,-4,-3\}$. The solution set of inequality is \{ $\qquad$ $,-5,-4,-3\}$
Ex 5.1 Question 3.
Solve $5 x-3<7$ when
(i) $x$ is an integer
(ii) $x$ is a real number
Answer.
Given: $5 x-3<7$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow 5 x<7+3 \\
& \Rightarrow 5 x<10 \\
& \Rightarrow x<2
\end{aligned}
$
(i) When $x$ is an integer then values of $x$ that make statement true are $\ldots,-3,-2,-1,0,1$. The solution set of inequality is $\{\ldots,-3,-2,-1,0,1\}$.
(ii) When $x$ is a real number then solution set of inequality is $x \in(-\infty, 2)$.
Ex 5.1 Question 4.
Solve $3 x+8>2$ when:
(i) $x$ is an integer
(ii) $x$ is a real number
Answer.
Given: $3 x+8>2$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow 3 x>2-8 \\
& \Rightarrow 3 x<-6 \\
& \Rightarrow x>-2
\end{aligned}
$
(i) When $x$ is an integer then values of $x$ that make statement true are $-1,0,1,2,3, \ldots \ldots$ The solution set of inequality is $\{-1,0,1,2,3, \ldots \ldots$.$\} .$
(ii) When $x$ is a real number then solution set of inequality is $x \in(-2, \infty)$.

$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{2 x-3 x}{6}>1 \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{-x}{6}>1 \\
& \Rightarrow x<-6

$
Therefore, the solution set is $(-\infty,-6)$.
Ex 5.1 Question 11.
$\frac{3(x-2)}{5} \leq \frac{5(2-x)}{3}$
Answer.
Here $\frac{3(x-2)}{5} \leq \frac{5(2-x)}{3}$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{3 x-6}{5} \leq \frac{10-5 x}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow 9 x-18 \leq 50-25 x \\
& \Rightarrow 9 x+25 x \leq 50+18 \\
