Answer:
(a) 8
(b) 4
(c)5
Explanation:
We are given multiple parts and we need to provide the correct answer among the given options, also we need to prove that rest of the answers are wrong.
(a). X + 12 = 20 ( 12,8,20,0)
X= 20 -12
X= 8, so only 8 is the correct answer and rest are wrong.
Proof: lets take other given options into consideration
X= 12
X+12 =12+ 24 which is wrong because X+12 is already given as 20.
similarly,
X=20
X+12 = 20+12 = 36, which is wrong because X+12 is already given as 20.
X= 0
X+12 = 0+12 = 12, which is wrong because X+12 is already given as 20.
(b). P - 4 = 0 (4,-4,8,0)
P-4 = 0
P= 4, So only 4 will give the correct answer and not the other options.
P= -4 = -4 -4 = -8, which is wrong because P-4 is is already given as 0.
similarly,
P = 8 = 8-4 = 4, which is wrong because P-4 is is already given as 0.
P = 0, 0-4 = -4 , which is wrong because P-4 is is already given as 0.
(c). 2y - 3 = 7 (0,3,5,7)
2y = 7 + 3
2y = 10
y = 5, only 5 will satisfy this given equation and rest will be wrong,
y = 0
2y-3 = 7
2(0) - 3 = 7
-3 = 7 which is not correct as LHS and RHS must be same.
similarly,
y = 3
2y-3=7
2(3) - 3 =7
6-3 = 7
3=7 which is again wrong.
y = 7
2(7) -3 =7
14-3 = 7
11=7, which is wrong.
Therefore the given options for the correct answers is verified and the wrong answers are given as the proof.
