Question

Given p=3q which of these will be p if q is increased by 2?

A)p+2
B)2p
C)p+6
D)6p

(Please show the calculation)

2) 100,-97,-94,-91,-88.........if the bove series is continued ,which of the following numbers would appear?
A)-3
B)-41
C)-66
D)-52

Answer 1

If we increase q by 2, it means that q becomes q+2.

So, p will become

`p=3q \mapsto \bar{p}=3(q+2)=3q+6=p+6`

So, the new value for p is 6 more than the previous one.

The second exercise looks a bit odd: if the sequence started with -100, then it would be

-100, -97, -94, -91, -88,...

And every term would be 3 more than the previous one, so the next term would be -85, but this doesn't appear in your option.

Also, the fact that the sequence starts with positive 100 is quite strange, because it is unrelated to the rest of the sequence.

Are you sure that the exercise is written correct? Or are there any typos?
