     which of the following is linear equatio      

    • 2x-3y=-6

    • X+x+x

    • 520x²y²

    • Y^2 -3=0

    Correct Answer
    A. 2x-3y=-6
    Explanation
    The equation 2x-3y=-6 is a linear equation because it is in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the coefficient of x and b is the constant term. In this equation, x and y are both raised to the power of 1 and there are no other terms involving higher powers of x or y. Therefore, it represents a straight line when graphed.

     Gross salary is also called Net salary      

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Gross salary and net salary are two different terms used in the context of salary. Gross salary refers to the total amount of salary earned by an employee before any deductions or taxes are taken out. Net salary, on the other hand, refers to the amount of salary that an employee receives after all deductions and taxes have been subtracted from the gross salary. Therefore, gross salary is not called net salary.

    • List price +trade discount

    • List price - trade discount

    • List price /trade discount

    • List price * trade discount

    Correct Answer
    A. List price - trade discount
    Explanation
    The net price is calculated by subtracting the trade discount from the list price. This means that the trade discount is being deducted from the original price to determine the final price that the customer will pay.

    The price of a P4 computer was $12000 last year. What is the price of the computer for this year if the price is decreased by 10%?   

    • $12000

    • $12500

    • $10800

    • $9000

    Correct Answer
    A. $10800
    Explanation
    The price of the computer for this year is $10800 because the price was decreased by 10% from last year's price of $12000. To calculate the new price, we multiply the original price by (1 - 0.10), which gives us $10800.

    Given  FC = Rs.5000 ,CM= Rs. 30 ,VC= Rs. 150 , Capacity = 320units then BEP in units = 

    • 4500 units

    • 167 units

    • 33 units

    • 16 units

    Correct Answer
    A. 167 units
    Explanation
    The Break-Even Point (BEP) is the point at which total revenue equals total costs, resulting in neither profit nor loss. To calculate the BEP in units, we need to divide the fixed costs (FC) by the contribution margin per unit (CM). The contribution margin per unit is calculated by subtracting the variable costs per unit (VC) from the selling price per unit. In this case, FC is given as Rs. 5000, CM is given as Rs. 30, and VC is given as Rs. 150. By dividing FC by CM, we get 5000/30 = 166.67, which rounds up to 167 units. Therefore, the correct answer is 167 units.

    If ratio of boys and girls in a class is 7: 5, which of the following can’t be the total number of the students in the class?     

    • 36

    • 50

    • 60

    • 120

    Correct Answer
    A. 50
    Explanation
    The ratio of boys to girls in the class is 7:5. This means that for every 7 boys, there are 5 girls. To find the total number of students in the class, we need to add the number of boys and girls together. If we assume that there are 7 boys and 5 girls, the total number of students would be 12. However, 50 cannot be the total number of students in the class because it does not fit the given ratio. Therefore, 50 is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

    A, B and C play cricket. A's runs are to B's runs and B's runs are to C's as 3:2. They get altogether 342 runs. How many runs did A make?   

    • 162

    • 108

    • 72

    • 112

    Correct Answer
    A. 162
    Explanation
    The ratio of A's runs to B's runs is 3:2, which means that A scored 3 parts out of a total of 5 parts. To find A's runs, we need to divide the total runs (342) into 5 equal parts and then multiply it by 3.

    342/5 = 68.4

    68.4 * 3 = 205.2

    Therefore, A made 162 runs.

     The Virtual University of Pakistan is a growing distant learning university of Pakistan. The number of students in the university is increasing each year. The number of registered students in a course related to business math last year was 7113 and it is increased up to 9242 this year. What is the percentage increase in the number of students?     

    • 23%

    • 30%

    • 18%

    • 42%

    Correct Answer
    A. 30%
    Explanation
    The percentage increase in the number of students can be calculated by finding the difference between the number of students this year and last year, dividing it by the number of students last year, and then multiplying by 100. In this case, the increase is 9242 - 7113 = 2129. Dividing this by 7113 gives 0.2989. Multiplying by 100 gives approximately 29.89%, which can be rounded to 30%. Therefore, the correct answer is 30%.

    To convert a number in percent (%) from a fraction, we do which of the following operation:                                                                                              

    • Add by 100

    • subtract by 10

    • Multiply by 100

    • Divide by 100

    Correct Answer
    A. Multiply by 100
    Explanation
    To convert a number in percent (%) from a fraction, we multiply the fraction by 100. This is because percent means "per hundred," so we need to scale up the fraction to represent the value out of 100. Multiplying by 100 effectively moves the decimal point two places to the right, converting the fraction into a percentage.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Can we subtract a positive integer k from the identity matrix?     

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The identity matrix is a square matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere. Subtracting a positive integer k from the identity matrix would result in changing some of the ones on the main diagonal to a different value, which would violate the definition of an identity matrix. Therefore, we cannot subtract a positive integer k from the identity matrix.
