Linear Equations by Total Gadha - Tue sday, 23 O ctobe r 2007, 08:37 AM

I am sure that this chapter is considered easy by many C AT 2007/ 2008 aspirants. But it is one of the most frequently occurring chapters in C AT. Mastery with equations helps you solve many problems in other areas also. As we progress deeper into Algebra on TG, we think it would be better to stat with this small but useful lesson. As your D- day comes nearer, revising some old concepts wouldnt hurt you.

Any equation of the form p = 0, where p is a polynomial of degree one, is known as a linear equation. The polynomial p can contain a single variable, two variables, or more than two variables. Some examples of linear equations are given below:

Re: Linear Equations by abhishe k rai - Friday, 11 June 2010, 02:30 AM In the que stion whe n Shyam visite d R am during his vacations, How can the re be 24 m ornings whe n the y did nothing and still m anage d to do yoga for 16 days? Think the re 's a Typo the re , which le ad to the bizarre conclusion. Shouldn't the e quation be 24-y=14-x (Days whe n the y did nothing should be e qual.) So, y-x =10 He nce , y+x =22 y-x =10 So, Y=16, x =10. W he n the y did nothing= 24-16=8. So the total no of days is 30. C orre ct m e If I am wrong
