⇒$3 \geq \frac{3 x-12+2 x}{6}$
⇒$3 \geq \frac{5 x-12}{6}$
⇒18≥5 x-12 
⇒5 x-12≤18
⇒5x≤18+12
⇒5x≤30
⇒x≤6

(ii)
⇒$\frac{x-4}{2}+\frac{x}{3} \geq 2$
⇒$\frac{3 x-12+2 x}{6} \geq 2$

Hence, solution set is {x : -4 < x < 5, x ∈ R}
The solution set is represented on the number line as below.
$\Rightarrow 4 x-19<\frac{3 x}{5}-2$ and $\frac{3 x}{5}-2 \leq \frac{-2}{5}+x,  x \in \mathrm{R}$
$\Rightarrow 4 x-\frac{3 x}{5}<17$ and $-2+\frac{2}{5} \leq x-\frac{3 x}{5},  x \in \mathrm{R}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{17 x}{5}<17$ and $\frac{-8}{5} \leq \frac{2 x}{5},  x \in \mathrm{R}$
⇒x<5 and -4≤x , x∈R
⇒-4≤x<5 , x∈R
Hence , solution set is {x : -4≤x<5, x∈R}
The solution set is represented on the number line as below




Question 39

Solve the given inequation and graph the solution on the number line :
2y–3<y+1≤4y+7; y∈R.
Sol :
2y–3<y+1≤4y+7; y∈R.
(a) 2y–3<y+1
⇒ 2y–y<1+3
⇒ y<4
⇒ 4>y ….(i)

(b) y+1≤4y+7
⇒ y-4y≤7-1
⇒ -3y≤6
⇒ 3y≥6
⇒ $y \geq \frac{6}{-3}$

⇒ y≥-2..(ii)

From (i) and (ii)
4>y≥-2 or -2≤y<4

Now representing it on a number given below





Question 40

Solve the inequation and represent the solution set on the number line.
$-3+x \leq \frac{8 x}{3}+2 \leq \frac{14}{3}+2 x$, Where x∈I
Sol :
$-3+x \leq \frac{8 x}{3}+2 \leq \frac{14}{3}+2 x$, Where x∈I

(i) $-3+x \leq \frac{8 x}{3}+2$
⇒$-3-2 \leq \frac{8 x}{3}-x$
⇒$-5 \leq \frac{5 x}{3}$
⇒$-1 \leq \frac{x}{3}$
⇒-3≤x...(i)

and $\frac{8 x}{3}=2 \leq \frac{14}{3}+2 x$
⇒$\frac{8 x}{3}-2 x \leq \frac{14}{3}-2$
⇒$\frac{2 x}{3} \leq \frac{8}{3}$
⇒x≤4..(ii)

From (i) and (ii)
⇒$-5 \leq \frac{5 x}{3}$ and $\frac{2 x}{3} \leq \frac{8}{3}$
⇒x≥-3 and x≤4
∴-3≤x≤4
Solution set={-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4}

Solution set on number line




Question 41

Find the greatest integer which is such that if 7 is added to its double, the resulting number becomes greater than three times the integer.
Sol :
Let the greatest integer = x
According to the condition,
2x + 7 > 3x
⇒ 2x – 3x > – 7
⇒ – x > – 7
⇒ x < 7
Value of x which is greatest = 6 Ans.

Question 42

One-third of a bamboo pole is buried in mud, one-sixth of it is in water and the part above the water is greater than or equal to 3 metres. Find the length of the shortest pole.
Sol :
Let the length of the shortest pole = x metre
Length of pole which is burried in mud $=\frac{x}{3}$
Length of pole which is in the water $=\frac{x}{6}$ 

According to this problem,
⇒$x-\left[\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{6}\right] \geq 3$
⇒$x-\left(\frac{2 x+x}{6}\right) \geq 3$
⇒$x-\frac{x}{2} \geq 3$
⇒$\frac{x}{2} \geq 3$
⇒x≥6

∴Length of pole (shortest in length) =6 metres
