Correct answer is A
when y = 5; x = ?; y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
5 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
5 - 1 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x
4 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x
x = 4 x 2
x = 8
y = 2x
y = x + 1
y = x
y = \(\frac{1}{2}x + 1\)
Correct answer is D
y = mx + c; when x = 0; y = 1
1 = m(0) + c; 1 = 0 + c; c = 1
when x = 2; y = 2
2 = m(2) + c; 2 = 2m + c; but c = 1
2 = 2m + 1
2 - 1 = 2m
2m = 1
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1

Correct answer is B
mean age = \(\frac{\text{sum of ages}}{\text{no. of men}}\)
50 = \9\frac{sum}{R}\)
sum = 50R.....(1)
Sum of ages of the men that left = 55 + 63 = 188
remaining sum = 50R - 118
remaining no. of men = R - 2
now mean age = 50 - 1 = 49 years
49 = \(\frac{50R - 118}{R - 2}\)
49(R - 2) = 50R - 118
49R - 50R = -188 - 98
-R = -20
R = 20
profit of 13%
loss of 12%
loss of 10%
loss of 5%
Correct answer is C
s.p = N6900
%profit = 15%
%profit = \(\frac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}\) x 100%
15% = \(\frac{6900 - c.p}{c.p}\) x 100%
\(\frac{15}{100}\)c.p = N6900 - c.p
0.15 c.p = N6900 - c.p
1.15c.p + c.p = N6900
c.p = \(\frac{6900}{1.15}\)
= 6000.00
Now new S.P = N6600
profit = s.p - c.p = 6000 - 6600
= 600
%profit = \(\frac{600}{6600}\) x 100%
= 10%
