general math MCQ #899

  1. Question 1

    Q1. Find the value of x when y = 5, if x varies directly as 4y-1 and x = 14 when y = 2. Proportion

    • A) 38
    • B) 35
    • C) 10
    • D) 28

    Answer: 38

    Explanation: x ∝ (4y − 1): when y = 2, 4y−1 = 7 and x = 14, giving constant k = 2; when y = 5, x = 2 × (4×5−1) = 38.
