MCQ practice · SSC Higher Mathematics Board questions · Chapter 6: Inequality
Which of the following points is true for the inequality 3x + 2y > 5?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a (3, −2)
- b (−3, 8)
- c (−3, −5)
- d (−2, 4)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b (−3, 8)
Putting (−3, 8) gives the value 7, and 7 > 5 is true, so the point satisfies the inequality.
Why the other options are wrong
- a (3, −2): Putting (3, −2) gives the value 5, and 5 > 5 is not true, so the point does not satisfy the inequality.
- c (−3, −5): Putting (−3, −5) gives the value −19, and −19 > 5 is not true, so the point does not satisfy the inequality.
- d (−2, 4): Putting (−2, 4) gives the value 2, and 2 > 5 is not true, so the point does not satisfy the inequality.
