11. A solution is to be kept between 68° F and 77° F. What is the range in temperature in degree Celsius (C) if the Celsius / Fahrenheit (F) conversion formula is given by F = (9/5) C + 32?

Solution:

According to the question,

The solution has to be kept between 68° F and 77° F.

So, we get 68° < F < 77°

Substituting,

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 6 Linear Inequalities Image 56

⇒ 20 < C < 25

Hence, we get

The range of temperature in degree Celsius is between 20° C to 25° C.

12. A solution of 8% boric acid is to be diluted by adding a 2% boric acid solution to it. The resulting mixture is to be more than 4% but less than 6% boric acid. If we have 640 litres of the 8% solution, how many litres of the 2% solution will have to be added?

Solution:

According to the question,

8% of solution of boric acid = 640 litres

Let the amount of 2% boric acid solution added = x litres

Then, we have

Total mixture = x + 640 litres

We know that

The resulting mixture has to be more than 4% but less than 6% boric acid.

∴ 2% of x + 8% of 640 > 4% of (x + 640) and

2% of x + 8% of 640 < 6% of (x + 640)

2% of x + 8% of 640 > 4% of (x + 640)

⇒ (2/100) × x + (8/100) × 640 > (4/100) × (x + 640)

⇒ 2x + 5120 > 4x + 2560

⇒ 5120 – 2560 > 4x – 2x

⇒ 2560 > 2x

⇒ x < 1280 ….(i)

2% of x + 8% of 640 < 6% of (x + 640)

⇒ (2/100) × x + (8/100) × 640 < (6/100) × (x + 640)

⇒ 2x + 5120 < 6x + 3840

⇒ 6x – 2x > 5120 – 3840

⇒ 4x > 1280

⇒ x > 320 ……….(i)

From (i) and (ii),

320 < x < 1280

Therefore, the number of litres of 2% of boric acid solution that has to be added will be more than 320 litres but less than 1280 litres.

13. How many litres of water will have to be added to 1125 litres of the 45% solution of acid so that the resulting mixture will contain more than 25% but less than 30% acid content?

Solution:

According to the question,

45% of solution of acid = 1125 litres

Let the amount of water added = x litres

Resulting mixture = x + 1125 litres

We know that,

The resulting mixture has to be more than 25% but less than 30% acid content.

Amount of acid in the resulting mixture = 45% of 1125 litres

∴ 45% of 1125 < 30% of (x + 1125) and 45% of 1125 > 25% of (x + 1125)

45% of 1125 < 30% of (x + 1125)

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 6 Linear Inequalities Image 57

⇒ 45 × 1125 < 30x + 30 × 1125

⇒ (45 – 30) × 1125 < 30x

⇒ 15 × 1125 < 30x

⇒ x > 562.5 ………..(i)

45% of 1125 > 25% of (x + 1125)

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 6 Linear Inequalities Image 58

⇒ 45 × 1125 > 25x + 25 × 1125

⇒ (45 – 25) × 1125 > 25x

⇒ 25x < 20 × 1125

⇒ x < 900 …..(ii)

∴ 562.5 < x < 900

Therefore, the number of litres of water that has to be added will have to be more than 562.5 litres but less than 900 litres.

14. IQ of a person is given by the formula,
NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 6 Linear Inequalities Image 59, where MA is mental age and CA is chronological age. If 80 ≤ IQ ≤ 140 for a group of 12 years old children, find the range of their mental age.

Solution:

According to the question,

Chronological age = CA = 12 years

IQ for the age group of 12 is 80 ≤ IQ ≤ 140.

We get that

80 ≤ IQ ≤ 140

Substituting,

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 6 Linear Inequalities Image 60

⇒ 9.6 ≤ MA ≤ 16.8

∴ Range of mental age of the group of 12 years old children is 9.6 ≤ MA ≤ 16.8
