(i) It is False.

x < y, b<0     ……. (given)

 Multiplication or division by -ve no. Inverts the inequality sign

Thus, x/b > y/b
 

(ii)  It is False.

If xy > 0, then,

Either x >0 & y > 0,

Or x < 0 & y < 0.
 

(iii) It is True.

 If xy > 0, then,

Either x >0 & y > 0,

Or x < 0 & y < 0.
 

(iv) It is False.

If xy < 0, then,

Either x < 0 & y > 0,

Or x > 0 & y < 0
 

(v) It is True.

We know that,

x < -5 → x \epsilon (-∞,-5)      ………. (i)

& x < -2 → x \epsilon (-∞,-2)  ………. (ii)

Thus, x\epsilon (-∞,-5)            ………… [By taking intersection from (i) & (ii)]
 

(vi) It is False.

We know that,

x < -5 → x \epsilon (-∞,-5)      ………. (i)

& x < 2 → x \epsilon (∞,2)  ………. (ii)

Therefore, x has no common solution         ……… [From (i) & (ii)]

 

(vii) It is True.

x > -2 → x \epsilon (-∞,-2)  ………. (i)

& x < 9  x \epsilon (-∞,9)      ………. (ii)

Therefore, x \epsilon (-2,9)       ……… [From (i) & (ii)]
 

(viii) It is True.

|x|< 5

Thus, there will be two cases,

x > 5 → x \epsilon (5,∞)  …… (i)

& -x > 5 → x < -5

→ x \epsilon ( -∞,-2)    …… (ii)

x \epsilon (-∞,-5) U (5,∞)      ……. [From (i) & (ii)]
 

(ix) It is True.

|x| ≤ 4,

Thus, there will be two cases,

x ≤ 4 → x \epsilon (-∞,4)        …….. (i)

& -x ≤4, x ≥ -4 → x \epsilon [-4,∞]       ……. (ii)

Therefore, x \epsilon [-4,4]         …….. [From (i) & (ii)]
 

(x) It is True.

Line: x = 3 & origin is (0,0),

Thus, the inequality is satisfied & hence the above graph is correct.
 

(xi) It is True.

The positive value of x is represented by x ≥ 0,

Therefore, the region of line x = 0 must be on the positive side that is the y-axis.
 

(xii) It is False.

The negative value of y is represented by y ≤ 0,

Therefore, the region of line y = 0 must be on the negative side that is the x-axis.
 

(xiii) It is False.

The shaded region is the first quadrant & the 4th quadrant is represented by x ≥ 0 & y ≤ 0.
 

(xiv) It is False.

The region on the left side of the y-axis is implied by x ≥ 0 & the region below the line y = 1 is implied by y ≤ 1.

(xv) It is True

The inequality is satisfied if we take any point above the line x + y = 0, say (3,2)

Thus, x+y ≥ 0

….…..(since, 3 + 2 = 5 > 0)

Therefore, the region should be above the line x+y = 0
