Q.

1) How many integral values of x satisfy the equation x = |2x -

|120-3x|| ?

Case 1
x = 2x - |120 – 3x|
x = |120 – 3x|
case a) x = 120 – 3x
x = 30.
Case b) x = 3x – 120
x = 60.

Case 2
-x = 2x - |120 – 3x|
3x = |120 – 3x|
3x = 120 – 3x
x = 20.
x = 20,30,60.
3 values.

= (20 – 1)C(3-1)
= 19C2
= 171.
Q.4) Find the number of positive integral solutions of x1+x2+x3+x4
= 20, where x1 > x2 ?

x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 20.
If a + b + c ....... r = k.
Then by total positive solution = (k-1)C(r-1)
Total positive solution = (20-1)C(4-1) = 19C3 = 969.
But we need to remove case when x1 = x2.
x1 + x1 + x3 + x4 = 20.
2x1+x3+x4 = 20.
Total solutions = 17+15+13+11+9+7+5+3+1 = 81.
This will be removed from total solutions = 969 – 81 = 888.
now only possibility in above equation is that x1 < x2 and x1 > x2.
