NCERT Exemplar MCQs

Summary

  • Two real numbers or two algebraic expressions related by the symbols \(<,>, \leq\) or \(\geq\) form an inequality.
  • Equal numbers may be added to (or subtracted from ) both sides of an inequality.
  • Both sides of an inequality can be multiplied (or divided) by the same positive number. But when both sides are multiplied (or divided) by a negative number, then the inequality is reversed.
  • The values of \(x\), which make an inequality a true statement, are called solutions of the inequality.
  • To represent \(x<a\) (or \(x>a\) ) on a number line, put a circle on the number \(a\) and dark line to the left (or right) of the number \(a\).
  • To represent \(x \leq a\) (or \(x \geq a\) ) on a number line, put a dark circle on the number \(a\) and dark the line to the left (or right) of the number \(x\).
