17. It is needed to represent a – 2b in terms of a – b and a + b. Since

1
a= [(a-b) + (a+b)], –2b = (a-b) – (a+b)
2
1 3
So a – 2b = (a+b) + (a-b), a – 2b will take its maximum value if a + b = 1, a – b = 1,
2 2
i.e a = 1, b = 0. Thus, 8a + 2002b = 8a = 8.
18. Label the equation
3x + 2y – z = 4 (1)
2x – y + 2z = 6 (2)
x+y+z<7 (3)
By (1)+2x(2),
7x+3z=16
x=1,z=3
From (2), y = 2x + 2z –6 = 2. Since x = 1, y = 2, z = 3 satisfy the inequality (30,22) the
solution is x = 1, y = 2, z = 3
19. By adding up the given two inequalities (c) is obtained.
When x = y = 2, z= 1, then (A) is not true. When x = y = 1, z= 0.7
Then (B) is not true. When x = y = -1, z = -1. 5, then (D) is not true. Thus only (C) is always true.
