Question 4.
Solve |x – 1| >1 and represent the solution on the number line.
[Exhaustive hints: By definition of modulus function
For x – 1 ≥ 0 or x ≥ 1, |x – 1| > 1
⇔ x – 1 > 1 ⇔ x > 2 ⇔ x ∈ (2, ∞)
For x- 1 < 0 or x < 1, |x – 1| > 1
⇔ – (x – 1) > 1
⇔ x – 1 < -1 (multiplication by -1 reverses the inequality)
⇔ x < 0 ⇔ x ∈ ( -∞, 0)
∴ The solution set is the Union,
(-∞, 0) ∪ (2, ∞) Show this as two disjoint open intervals on the number line, i.e., real line.]
Solution:
|x – 1| > 1
⇒ – 1 > x – 1 > 1
⇒ 0 > x > 2
⇒ x < 0 and x > 2
∴ The solution set is S = {x : x ∈ R, x < 0 and x > 2}

Question 6.
In a triangle, ABC; AB, BC, and CA are x, 3x + 2, and x + 4 units respectively where x ∈ N. Find the length of its sides. (Hint: Apply triangle-inequality).
Solution:
Given AB = x
BC = 3x + 2
and CA = x + 4
Now AB + AC > BC (Triangle inequality)
⇒ x + x + 4 > 3x + 2
⇒ 2x + 4 > 3x + 2
⇒ – x > – 2
⇒ x < 2
As x ∈ N we have x = 1
The sides of triangle ABC are
AB = 1 unit
BC = 5 units
and CA = 5 units

Question 7.
The length of one side of a parallelogram is 1 cm. shorter than that of its adjacent side. If its perimeter is at least 26 c.m., find the minimum possible lengths of its sides.
Solution:
Let the longer side = x cm
∴ The smaller side = (x – 1) cm
Perimeter = 2(x + (x – 1)) = 4x – 2 cm
According to the question
4x – 2 ≥ 26
⇒ 4x ≥ 28
⇒ x > 7
The minimum value of x = 7.
∴ The minimum length of the sides is 7cm and 6 cm.

Question 8.
The length of the largest side of a quadrilateral is three times that of its smallest side. Out of the other two sides, the length of one is twice that of the smallest and the other is 1 cm. longer than the smallest. If the perimeter of the quadrilateral is at most 36 c.m., then find the maximum possible lengths of its sides.
Solution:
Let the smallest side = x cm.
Largest side = 3 times x = 3x cm.
The other two sides are 2x cm and x + 1 cm.
⇒ The perimeter = x + 3x + 2x + x + 1
= 7x + 1 cm
According to the question:
7x + 1 ≤ 36
⇒ 7x ≤ 35
⇒ x ≤ 5
Maximum value of x = 5
∴ The maximum possible length of sides are x = 5 cm, 3x = 15 cm, 2x = 10 cm, and x + 1 = 6 cm.

Question 9.
Find all pairs of consecutive odd numbers each greater than 20, such that their sum is less than 60.
Solution:
Let two consecutive odd numbers are
2n – 1 and 2n + 1
Now 2n – 1 > 20 and 2n + 1 > 20
But their sum = 2n – 1 + 2n + 1
= 4n < 60
⇒ n < 15
for n = 14 two numbers are 27, 29
for n = 13 two numbers are 25, 27
for n = 12 two numbers are 23, 25
for n = 11 two numbers are 21, 23
∴ All pairs are 21, 23; 23, 25; 25, 27 and 27, 29

Question 10.
Find all pairs of even numbers each less than 35, such that their sum is at least 50.
Solution:
Let two even numbers be x and y.
According to the question
x < 35, y < 35 and x + y ≥ 50
⇒ x ≤ 34, y ≤ 34 and x + y ≥ 50
⇒ x + y ≤ 70, x + y ≥ 50
⇒ 50 ≤ x + y ≤ 70
If x + y = 50 the numbers are {34, 16}, {32, 18}, {30, 20}, {28, 22}, {26, 24}
If x + y = 52 the numbers are {34, 18}, {32, 20}, {30, 22}, {28, 24}, {26, 26}
