(2) Eastern Himalayas
(3) Himachal-Uttarakhand Himalayas
(4) Kashmir Himalayas

62. The values of x and y satisfying the equations:

6(ax + by) = 3a + 2b and 6(bx – ay) = 3b – 2a
are:

(1) x = ½ , y = ⅓
(2) x = ½ , y = 3
(3) x = 2 ,y = 3
(4) None of these

Correct Answer: (1) x = ½ , y = ⅓

Solution:

(1) 6ax + 6by = 3a + 2b ...(i)
6bx − 6ay = 3b − 2a ...(ii)
By equations (i) × a + (ii) × b,
we have
6a²x + 6aby + 6b²x − 6aby
= 3a² + 2ab + 3b² − 2ab
⇒ 6a²x + 6b²x = 3a² + 3b²
⇒ 6x (a² + b²) = 3 (a² + b²)
⇒ x = 3 / 6 = 1 / 2

From equation (i),

6a × 1/2 + 6by = 3a + 2b
⇒ 3a + 6by = 3a + 2b
⇒ 6by = 2b
⇒ y = 2b / 6b = 1 / 3

∴ x = 1 / 2, y = 1 / 3

63. Normally, in a healthy adult, the initial filtrate in the kidney is about ____ litre/day.

(1) 60
(2) 120
(3) 180
(4) 90

Correct Answer: (3) 180

Solution:(3) Filtration is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle. About 20% of the plasma volume passing through the glomerulus at any given time is filtered. This means that about 180 liters of fluid are filtered by the kidneys every day. Thus, the entire plasma volume (about 3 liters) is filtered 60 times a day!
