    When 3 lies at hundreds place

    ∴ Total integers = 10 × 9 = 90
    When 3 lies at units place

    Total integers = 10
    When 3 lies at unit’s and hundred’s place
    Total integers = 10
    ∴ Total integers = 90 + 10 +10 = 110

    Correct Option: C

    When 3 lies at hundreds place

    ∴ Total integers = 10 × 9 = 90
    When 3 lies at units place

    Total integers = 10
    When 3 lies at unit’s and hundred’s place
    Total integers = 10
    ∴ Total integers = 90 + 10 +10 = 110


  1. The area (in square units) of the triangle formed by the graphs of the equations x = 4, y = 3 and 3x + 4y = 12 ; is

    On putting x = 0 in the equation 3x + 4y = 12,
    4y = 12, ⇒ y = 3
    Again on putting y = 0,
    3x = 12 ⇒ x = 4

    ∴ Area of ∆ABC =
    1
    × AC × BC =
    1
    × 3 × 4 = 6 sq. units
    22

    Correct Option: C

    4y = 12, ⇒ y = 3
    Again on putting y = 0,
    3x = 12 ⇒ x = 4

  1. If 2x + y = 6 and x = 2 are two linear equations, then graph of two equations meet at a point :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Putting x = 2 in the equation
    2x + y = 6,
    2 × 2 + y = 6
    ⇒ y = 6 – 4 = 2
    ∴ Required point = (2, 2)

    Correct Option: C

    Putting x = 2 in the equation
    2x + y = 6,
    2 × 2 + y = 6
    ⇒ y = 6 – 4 = 2
    ∴ Required point = (2, 2)


  1. If x + y = 1 + xy, then x3 + y3 – x3y3 is equal to :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    x + y = 1 + xy (given)
    ∴ x3 + y3 - x3.y3 = (x + y)3 – 3xy (x + y) – x3y3
    x3 + y3 - x3.y3 = (1 + xy)3 – 3xy (1 + xy) – x3y3
    x3 + y3 - x3.y3 = 1 + x3y3 + 3xy + 3x2y2 - 3xy - 3x2y2 - x3y3 = 1

    Correct Option: B

    x + y = 1 + xy (given)
    ∴ x3 + y3 - x3.y3 = (x + y)3 – 3xy (x + y) – x3y3
    x3 + y3 - x3.y3 = (1 + xy)3 – 3xy (1 + xy) – x3y3
    x3 + y3 - x3.y3 = 1 + x3y3 + 3xy + 3x2y2 - 3xy - 3x2y2 - x3y3 = 1



  1. If x + 5 +
    1
    = 6, then the value of (x + 1)3 +
    1
    is
    x + 1(x + 1)3

    x + 5 +
    1
    = 6
    x + 1

    ⇒  (x + 1) +
    1
    = 6 – 4 = 2
    (x + 1)

    On cubing both sides,

    ⇒  (x + 1)3 +
    1
    + 3 × 2 = 8
    (x + 1)3

    ⇒  (x + 1)3 +
    1
    = 8 – 6 = 2
    (x + 1)3

    Correct Option: A

    x + 5 +
    1
    = 6
    x + 1

    ⇒  (x + 1) +
    1
    = 6 – 4 = 2
    (x + 1)

    On cubing both sides,

    ⇒  (x + 1)3 +
    1
    + 3 × 2 = 8
    (x + 1)3

    ⇒  (x + 1)3 +
    1
    = 8 – 6 = 2
    (x + 1)3
