An institution offers two computer courses, P and Q. The number
of participants for course P is x and for course Q is y. The
enrolment of the participants is based on the following
constraints:
I : The total number of participants is not more than 100.
II : The number of participants for course Q is not more
than 4 times the number of participants for course P.
III : The number of participants for course Q must exceed
the number of participants for course P by at least 5.
(a) Write down three inequalities, other than x 0 and y 0 , that
satisfy all of the above constraints.
