Correct answer: (D) 5.71
Given 2x + 3y = 23 ...(i) and 5x + 4y = 44 ...(ii). Since the coefficients of x (or y) do not match directly, multiply the equations by suitable constants to equalise one variable's coefficient, then eliminate it. Solving (i) and (ii) simultaneously gives x = 5.71 and y = 3.86. Hence x = 5.71.

सही उत्तर: (D) 5.71
दिया गया है 2x + 3y = 23 ...(i) और 5x + 4y = 44 ...(ii)। चूँकि x (या y) के गुणांक सीधे समान नहीं हैं, इसलिए समीकरणों को उपयुक्त स्थिरांकों से गुणा करके एक चर के गुणांक बराबर करें और फिर उसे हटाएँ। समीकरण (i) और (ii) को हल करने पर x = 5.71 और y = 3.86 प्राप्त होता है। अतः x = 5.71 है।
