If x = 5t and $y = \frac{1}{3}( t +1)$, then the value of t for x = 3y is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
X = 5t
$y = \frac{1}{3}( t +1)$
X = 3Y
We have, X = 3Y ... (A)
So, put the value of X from equation (A) in X = 5t
= 3Y = 5t ... (B)
Now, put the value of $y = \frac{1}{3}( t +1)$ in equation (B) we have,
= 3 × \(\frac{1}{3}\) × ( t+1) = 5t
= t +1 = 5t
= 4t = 1
= t = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
