Exercise 3.1
Question 1.

Graphically, the pair of equations -

6x - 3y + 10 = 0

2x - y + 9 = 0

represents two lines which are
A. intersecting at exactly one point

B. intersecting exactly two points

C. coincident

D. parallel


Answer:

The given equations are -

6x - 3y + 10 = 0


Divide the equation by 3 -


…(i)


And 2x - y + 9 = 0 …(ii)


Let's find the x and y intercepts (point at which it touches x and y axis respectively) for both the lines -


For line = 0;


At x = 0, y = 10/3 (y - intercept),


So (0, 10/3) is a point in y axis.


At y = 0, x = - 5/3 (x - intercept)


And ( - 5/3, 0) is a point in x axis.


For line 2x - y + 9 = 0;


At x = 0 , y = 9 ( y - intercept ),


So (0,9) is a point in y axis.


At y = 0 , x = - 9/2 ( x - intercept )


And ( - 9/2,0) is a point in x axis.



Blue line represents


Red line represents 2x - y + 9 = 0


It is clear from the figure that the two lines are parallel.


(Also slope of the lines = = 2, which is the same)


Hence, the pair of equations represents two parallel lines.


Question 2.

The pair of equation x + 2y + 5 = 0 and - 3x - 6y + 1 = 0 has
A. a unique solution

B. exactly two solutions

C. infinitely many solutions

D. no solution


Answer:

Given, equations are x + 2y + 5 = 0 and - 3x - 6y + 1 = 0.

Comparing the equations with general equation of the form:


ax + by + c = 0;


a1x + b1y + c1 = x + 2y + 5


a2x + b2y + c2 = - 3x - 6y + 1


Here, a1 = 1, b1 = 2, c1 = 5


And a2 = - 3, b2 = - 6, c2 = 1


Taking the ratio of coefficients to compare -


a1 /a2 = - 1/3


b1 /b2 = - 1/3


c1 /c2 = 5/1;


here a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2


This represents pair of parallel lines.


Hence, the pair of equations has no solution.


Alternative solution -


We know for a line y = mx +c;


m represents slope of line.


So, we can write this lines in that form first -


For line: x + 2y + 5 = 0


2y = - 5 - x



Hence slope of first line is - 1/2.


For line: - 3x - 6y + 1 = 0


6y = - 3x + 1



Hence slope of second line is - 1/2.


Slope for both the lines represents the lines are parallel and will never intersect and so will have no solution.


Question 3.

If a pair of linear equations is consistent, then the lines will be
A. parallel

B. always coincident

C. intersecting or coincident

D. always intersecting


Answer:

Condition for a consistent pair of linear equations -

Consistent equations means the equations must have solution so lines may either coincide(with infinitely many solutions) or with a unique solution {lines must not be parallel}.


1) Must not be parallel so,


a1/a2 b1/b2 [intersecting lines with unique solution]


2) Also the lines can coincide, so,


a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 [coincident or dependent]


Question 4.

The pair of equation y = 0 and y = - 7 has
A. one solution

B. two solution

C. infinitely many solutions

D. no solution


Answer:

The equation y = 0 represents x axis and

Also y = - 7 is line parallel to x axis (no x - intercept).


The give pair of equations are y = 0 and y = - 7.



By graphically, both lines are parallel and thus will have no solution.


Question 5.

The pair of equations x = a and y = b graphically represents lines which are
A. parallel

B. intersecting at (b, a)

C. coincident

D. intersecting at (a, b)


Answer:

x = a and y = b represents a rectangle with lines x = a for a>0 and x = - a for a <0 ;

y = b for b>0 and y = - b for b<0;



As it is clear from the figure, the lines will intersect at x = a and y = b or (a,b) point.


Question 6.

For what value of k, do the equations 3x - y + 8 = 0 and 6x - ky + 16 = 0 represent coincident lines?
A.

B.

C. 2

B. - 2


Answer:

Condition for coincident lines is -

a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 …(i)


Given lines, 3x - y + 8 = 0


and 6x - ky + 16 = 0;


Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = 3, b1 = - 1, c1 = 8; a2 = 6, b2 = - k, c2 = 16;


and


From Eq. (i),



So, k = 2


Question 7.

If the lines given by 3x + 2ky - 2 = 0 and 2x + 5y - 1 = 0 are parallel, then the value of k is
A.

B.

C.

D.


Answer:

Condition for parallel lines is

a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2 …(i)


Given lines, 3x + 2ky - 2 = 0


and 2x + 5y - 1 = 0;


Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = 3, b1 = 2k, c1 = - 2


and a2 = 2, b2 = 5, c2 = - 1


From Eq. (i), 3/2 = 2k/5


k = 15/4


Question 8.

The value of c for which the pair of equations cx - y = 2 and 6x - 2y = 3 will have infinitely many solutions is
A. 3

B. - 3

C. - 12

D. no value


Answer:

Condition for infinitely many solutions

a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2 …(i)


The given lines are cx - y - 2 = 0 and 6x - 2y - 3 = 0;


Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = c, b1 = - 1, c1 = - 2


and a2 = 6, b2 = - 2,c2 = - 3


From Eq. (i),


Here, c/6 = -1/- 2


Also c/6 = -2/- 3


Solving, we get, c = 3 and c = 4.


Since, c has different values and so it’s not possible.


Hence, for no value of c the pair of equations will have infinitely many solutions.


Question 9.

One equation of a pair of dependent linear equations is :

-5x + 7y - 2 = 0. The second equation can be:
A. 10x + 14y + 4 = 0

B. - 10x - 14y + 4 = 0

C. - 10x + 14y + 4 = 0

D. 10x - 14y + 4 = 0


Answer:

Condition for dependent linear equations -

a1 /a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 …(i)


Given equation of line is, - 5x + 7y - 2 = 0;


Comparing with ax+ by +c = 0;


Here, a1 = - 5, b1 = 7, c1 = - 2;


For second equation, let’s assume a2x + b2y + c2 = 0;


From Eq. (i),


Where, k is any arbitrary constant.


Putting k = - 1/2 then


a2 = 10, b2 = - 14, c2 = 4;


∴ The required equation of line becomes


a2x + b2y + c2 = 0;


10x - 14y + 4 = 0;


Question 10.

A pair of linear equations which has a unique solution x = 2 and y = - 3 is
A. x + y = 1 and 2x - 3y = - 5

B. 2x+ 5y = - 11 and 4x + 10y = - 22

C. 2x - y = 1 and 3x + 2y = 0

D. x-4y-14 = 0 and 5x - y - 13 = 0


Answer:

If x = 2 and y = - 3 is a unique solution of any pair of equation, then these values must satisfy that pair of equations.

Putting the values in the equations for every option and checking it -


From option (b).


LHS = 2x + 5y = 2(2+(- 3) = 4 + (- 15) = - 11 = RHS


and


LHS = 4x + 10y = 4(2) +10(- 3) = 8 + (- 30) = - 22 = RHS


It satisfies the pair of linear equation and hence is the unique solution for the equation.


Question 11.

If x = a and y = b is the solution of the equations x -y = 2 and x+y = 4, then the values of a and b are, respectively.
A. 3 and 5

B. 5 and 3

C. 3 and 1

D. - 1and - 3


Answer:

Solving the equations -

x - y = 2 and


x + y = 4;


adding them,

2x = 6

x = 3;


subtracting them,

2y = 2

y = 1;


so, a = 3 and b = 1 is the solution of the equations.


Question 12.

Aruna has only Re 1 and Rs 2 coins with her. If the total number of coins that she has is 50 and the amount of money with her is Rs 75, then the number of Rs 1 and Rs 2 coins are, respectively.
A. 35 and 15

B. 35 and 20

C. 15 and 35

D. 25 and 25


Answer:

Let number of Re 1 coins = x

and number of Rs 2 coins = y


Now, by given conditions:


Total number of coins = x + y = 50 …(i)


Also, Amount of money with her = (Number of Re 1 1) + (Number of Rs2 coin 2)


= x(1)+ y(2) = 75


= x+2y = 75 …(ii)


On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get


(x + 2y) - (x + y) = (75 - 50)


So, y = 25


Putting y = 25 we get x = 25.


Hence he has 25 Re 1 coins and 25 Rs 2 coins.


Question 13.

The father’s age is six times his son’s age. Four years hence, the age of the father will be four times his son’s age. The present ages (in year) of the son and the father are, respectively.
A. 4 and 24

B. 5 and 30

C. 6 and 36

D. 3 and 24


Answer:

Let ‘x’ year be the present age of father and ‘y’ year be the present age of son.

Four years hence, it has relation by given condition,


(x+4) = 4(y+4)


x+4 = 4y+16


x- 4y-12 = 0 …(i)


and initially, x = 6y …(ii)


On putting the value of from Eq. (ii) in Eq. (i), we get


6y - 4y - 12 = 0


2y = 12


Hence, y = 6


Putting y = 6, we get x = 36.


Hence, present age of father is 36 years and age of son is 6 years.

Answer:

Conditions for pair of linear equations are consistent


a1/a2 b1/b2. [unique solution]


and a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 [coincident or infinitely many solutions]


(i) No.


The given pair of linear equations -


- 3x - 4y - 12 = 0 and 4y + 3x - 12 = 0


Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = - 3, b1 = - 4, c1 = - 12;


And a2 = 3, b2 = 4, c2 = - 12;


a1 /a2 = - 3/3 = - 1


b1 /b2 = - 4/4 = - 1


c1 /c2 = - 12/ - 12 = 1


Here, a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2


Hence, the pair of linear equations has no solution, i.e., inconsistent.


(ii) Yes.


The given pair of linear equations


and


Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = 3/5, b1 = - 1, c1 = - 1/2;


And a2 = 1/5, b2 = 3, c2 = - 1/6;


a1 /a2 = 3


b1 /b2 = - 1/ - 3 = 1/3


c1 /c2 = 3


Here, a1/a2 b1/b2.


Hence, the given pair of linear equations has unique solution, i.e., consistent.


(iii) Yes.


The given pair of linear equations -


2ax + by –a = 0 and 4ax + 2by - 2a = 0


Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = 2a, b1 = b, c1 = - a;


And a2 = 4a, b2 = 2b, c2 = - 2a;


a1 /a2 = 1/2


b1 /b2 = 1/2


c1 /c2 = 1/2


Here, a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2


Hence, the given pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions, i.e., consistent or dependent.


(iv) No.


The given pair of linear equations


x + 3y = 11 and 2x + 6y = 11


Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = 1, b1 = 3, c1 = 11


And a2 = 2, b2 = 6, c2 = 11


a1 /a2 = 1/2


b1 /b2 = 1/2


c1 /c2 = 1


Here, a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2.


Hence, the given pair of linear equations has no solution.



Question 4.

For the pair of equations λx + 3y + 7 = 0 and 2x + 6y - 14 = 0. To have infinitely many solutions, the value of λ should be 1. Is the statement true? Give reasons.


Answer:

No.

The given pair of linear equations


and 2x + 6y - 14 = 0.


Here, Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = , b1 = 3, c1 = 7;


And a2 = 2, b2 = 6, c2 = - 14;


a1 /a2 = /2


b1 /b2 = 1/2


c1 /c2 = - 1/2


If a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2, then system has infinitely many solutions.


So /2 = 1/2


= 1


Also /2 = - 1/2



Since, does not have a unique value.


So, for no value of, the given pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions.



Question 5.

For all real values of c, the pair of equations x - 2y = 8 and 5x - 10y = c have a unique solution. Justify whether it is true or false.


Answer:

The answer is False.

The given pair of linear equations


x - 2y - 8 = 0


and 5x - 10y - c = 0


On Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here,


Here, a1 = 1, b1 = - 2, c1 = - 8;


And a2 = 5, b2 = - 10, c2 = - c;


a1 /a2 = 1/5


b1 /b2 = 1/5


c1 /c2 = 8/c


But if c = 40 (real value), then the ratio c1/c2 becomes 1/5 and then the system of linear equations has an infinitely many solutions.


Hence, at c= 40, the system of linear equations does not have a unique solution.



Question 6.

Exercise 3.3
Question 1.

For which value(s) of λ do the pair of linear equations λx + y = λ2 and x + λy = 1 have

(i) no solution?

(ii) infinitely many solutions?

(iv) a unique solution?


Answer:

The given pair of linear equations -

x + y - 2 = 0and x + y - 1 = 0


Comparing with ax + by + c = 0;


Here, a1 = , b1 = 1, c1 = - 2;


And a2 = 1, b2 = , c2 = - 1;


a1 /a2 = λ/1


b1 /b2 = 1/λ


c1 /c2 = λ2


(i) For no solution,


a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2


i.e. = 1/2


so, 2 = 1;


and 2


Here, we take only = - 1 because at = 1, the system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions.


(ii) For infinitely many solutions,


a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2


i.e. = 1/ = 2


so = 1/ gives = 1;


= 2 gives = 1,0;


Hence satisfying both the equations


= 1 is the answer.


(iii) For a unique solution,


a1/a2 b1/b2


so 1/


hence, 2 1;


1;


So, all real values of except



Question 2.

For which value (s) of k will the pair of equations

kx + 3y = k - 3

12x + ky = k

has no solution?


Answer:

The given pair of linear equations is

kx + 3y = k - 3 …(i)


and 12x + ky = k …(ii)


On comparing with ax + by = c = 0, we get


a1 = , b1 = 3, c1 = -(k - 3)


And a2 = 12, b2 = , c2 = - k


a1 /a2 = /12


b1 /b2 = 3/


c1 /c2 =


For no solution of the pair of linear equations,


a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2


So =


Taking first two parts, we get


/12 = 3/


k2 = 36


k = 6


Taking last two parts, we get



3k k(k - 3)


k2 - 6k 0


so, k 0,6


Hence, required value of k for which the given pair of linear equations has no solution is k = - 6.



Question 3.

For which values of a and b will the following pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions?

x + 2y = 1 and (a - b)x + (a + b)y = a + b – 2


Answer:

The given pair of linear equations are:

x + 2y = 1 …(i)


and (a-b)x + (a + b)y = a + b - 2 …(ii)


On comparing withax + by = c = 0 we get


a1 = , b1 = 2, c1 = - 1


And a2 = (a - b), b2 = (a + b), c2 = - (a + b - 2)


a1 /a2 =


b1 /b2 =


c1 /c2 =


For infinitely many solutions of the, pair of linear equations,


a1/a2 = b1/b2c1/c2(coincident lines)


so, = =


Taking first two parts,


=


a + b = 2(a - b)


a = 3b …(iii)


Taking last two parts,


=


2(a + b - 2) = (a + b)


a + b = 4 …(iv)


Now, put the value of a from Eq. (iii) in Eq. (iv), we get


3b + b = 4


4b = 4


b = 1


Put the value of b in Eq. (iii), we get


a = 3


So, the values (a,b) = (3,1) satisfies all the parts. Hence, required values of a and b are 3 and 1 respectively for which the given pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions.



Question 4.

Find the values of p in (i) to (iv) and p and q in (v) for the following pair of equations

(i) 3x - y - 5 = 0 and 6x - 2y - p = 0, if the lines represented by these equations are parallel.

(ii) -x + py = 1 and px - y - 1 = 0, if the pair of equations has no solution.

(ii) -3x + 5y = 7 and 2px - 3y = 1, if the lines represented by these equations are intersecting at a unique point.

(iv) 2x +3y - 5 = 0 and px - 6y - 8 = 0, if the pair of equations has a unique solution.

(v) 2+3y =7 and 2px + py = 28 - qy, if the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions.


Answer:

(i) Given pair of linear equations is

3x - y - 5 = 0 …(i)


and 6x - 2y - p = 0 …(ii)


On comparing with ax + by + c = 0 we get


Here, a1 = , b1 = - 1, c1 = - 5;


And a2 = 6, b2 = - 2, c2 = - p;


a1 /a2 = /6 = 1/2


b1 /b2 = 1/2


c1 /c2 = 5/p


Since, the lines represented by these equations are parallel, then


a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2


Taking last two parts, we get


So, p


Hence, the given pair of linear equations are parallel for all real values of p except 10 i.e.,


P


(ii) Given pair of linear equations is


- x + py = 1 …(i)


and px - y - 1 = 0 …(ii)


On comparing with ax + by + c = 0, we get


Here, a1 = , b1 = p, c1 =- 1;


And a2 = p, b2 = - 1, c2 =- 1;


a1 /a2 =


b1 /b2 = - p


c1 /c2 = 1


Since, the lines equations has no solution i.e., both lines are parallel to each other.


a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2


= - p 1


Taking last two parts, we get


p


Taking first two parts, we get


p2 = 1


p = 1


Hence, the given pair of linear equations has no solution for p = 1.


(iii) Given, pair of linear equations is


- 3x + 5y = 7


and 2px - 3y = 1


On comparing with ax + by + c = 0, we get


Here, a1 = , b1 = 5, c1 = - 7;


And a2 = 2p, b2 = - 3, c2 = - 1;


a1 /a2 =


b1 /b2 = - 5/3


c1 /c2 = 7


Since, the lines are intersecting at a unique point i.e., it has a unique solution


a1/a2 b1/b2


so,


p 9/10


Hence, the lines represented by these equations are intersecting at a unique point for all real values of p except


(iv) Given, pair of linear equations is


2x + 3y - 5 = 0


and px - 6y - 8 = 0


On comparing with ax + by + c = 0 we get


Here, a1 = , b1 = 3, c1 = - 5;


And a2 = p, b2 = - 6, c2 = - 8;


a1 /a2 =


b1 /b2 = - 3/6 = - 1/2


c1 /c2 = 5/8


Since, the pair of linear equations has a unique solution.


a1/a2 b1/b2


so - 1/2


p - 4


Hence, the pair of linear equations has a unique solution for all values of p except - 4


i.e., p


(v) Given pair of linear equations is


2x + 3y = 7


and 2px + py = 28 - qy


or 2px + (p + q)y - 28 = 0


On comparing with ax + by + c = 0 we get


Here, a1 = , b1 = 3, c1 = - 7;


And a2 = 2p, b2 = (p + q), c2 = - 28;





Since, the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions i.e., both lines are coincident.


a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2


= =


Taking first and third parts, we get


p = 4


Again, taking last two parts, we get


=


p + q = 12


Since p = 4


So, q = 8


Here, we see that the values of p = 4 and q = 8 satisfies all three parts.


Hence, the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions for all values of p = 4 and q = 8.



Question 5.

Two straight paths are represented by the equations and Check whether the paths cross each other or not.


Answer:

Given linear equations are

x - 3y - 2 = 0 …(i)


and -2x + 6y - 5 = 0 …(ii)


On comparing with ax + by c=0, we get


Here, a1 =1, b1 =-3, c1 =- 2;


And a2 = -2, b2 =6, c2 =- 5;





i.e., a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2 [parallel lines]


Hence, two straight paths represented by the given equations never cross each other, because they are parallel to each other.



Question 6.

Write a pair of linear equations which has the unique solution x = - 1 and y = 3. How many such pairs can you write?


Answer:

Condition for the pair of system to have unique solution

a1/a2 b1/b2


Let the equations are,


a1x + b1y + c1 = 0


and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0


Since, x = - 1 and y = 3 is the unique solution of these two equations, then


It must satisfy the equations -


a1(-1) + b1(3) + c1 = 0


- a1 + 3b1 + c1 = 0 …(i)


and a2(- 1) + b2(3) + c2 = 0


- a2 + 3b2 + c2 = 0 …(ii)


Since for the different values of a1, b1, c1 and a2, b2, c2 satisfy the Eqs. (i) and (ii).


Hence, infinitely many pairs of linear equations are possible.



Question 7.

If 2x + y = 23 and 4x - y = 19 then find the values of 5y - 2x and


Answer:

Given equations are

2x + y = 23 …(i)


and 4x - y = 19 …(ii)


On adding both equations, we get


6x = 42


So, x = 7


Put the value of x in Eq. (i), we get


2(7) + y = 23


y = 23 - 14


so, y = 9


Hence 5y - 2x = 5(9) - 2(7) = 45 - 14 = 31


and


Hence, the values of (5y - 2x) and are 31 and respectively.



Question 8.

So, 3x + y = 7 …(ii)


On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 3 and then subtracting Eq. (i), we get


3(3x + y) = 3(7)


- x + 3y = 13


8x = 8


So, x = 1

Question 17.

By the graphical method, find whether the following pair of equations are consistent or not. If consistent, solve them.

3x + y + 4 = 0, 6x-2y + 4 = 0


Answer:

Given pair of equations is

3x + y + 4 = 0 …(i)


and 6x -2y + 4 = 0…(ii)


comparing with ax + by + c = 0


Here, a1 = , b1 = 1, c1 = 4;


And a2 = 6, b2 = - 2, c2 = 4;


a1 /a2 = 1/2


b1 /b2 = -3/6 = -1/2


c1 /c2 = 1


since a1/a2 b1/b2


so system of equations is consistent with a unique solution.


We have,



When x = 0, then y = - 4


When x = - 1, then y = - 1


When x = - 2, then y = 2



and




When x = 0, then y = 2


When x = - 1,then y = - 1


When x = 1,then y = 5



Plotting the points B(0, - 4) and A( - 2,2),we get the straight tine AB. Plotting the points Q(0,2) and P(1,5) we get the straight line PQ. The lines AB and PQ intersect at C (-1, -1).

x-2y = 6, 3x-6y = 0


Answer:

Given pair of equations is

x -2y = 6 …(i)


and 3x-6y = 0 …(ii)


On comparing with ax + by + c = 0


we get


Here, a1 = , b1 = - 2, c1 = - 6;


And a2 = 3, b2 = - 6, c2 = 0;


a1 /a2 = 1/3


b1 /b2 = - 2/ - 6 = 1/3


here a1/a2 = b1/b2 c1/c2 (parallel lines).


Hence, the lines represented by the given equations are parallel. Therefore, it has no solution. So, the given pair of lines is inconsistent.



Question 19.

By the graphical method, find whether the following pair of equations are consistent or not. If consistent, solve them.

x + y = 3, 3x + 3y = 9


Answer:

Given pair of equations is

x + y = 3 …(i)


and 3x + 3y = 9 …(ii)


On comparing with ax + by + c = 0


Here, a1 = 1, b1 = 1, c1 = - 3;


And a2 = 3, b2 = 3, c2 = - 9;


a1 /a2 = 1/3


b1 /b2 = 1/3


c1 /c2 = 1/3


Here, a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2, i.e. coincident lines


Hence, the given pair of linear equations is coincident and having infinitely many solutions.


The given pair of linear equations is consistent.

Hence, the vertices of a ABC are A (0,4), B(2,0) and C(0,- 4).


∴ Required area of ABC Area of


ABC = sq. units.


Hence, the required area of the triangle is 8 sq units.



Question 21.

Write an equation of a line passing through the point representing solution of the pair of linear equations x + y = 2 and 2x-y = 1 How many such lines can we find?


Answer:

Given pair of linear equations is

x + y-2 = 0 …(i)

and 2x-y-1 = 0 …(ii)

On comparing with ax + by + c = 0

Here, a1 = 1, b1 = 1, c1 = - 2;

And a2 = 2, b2 = - 1, c2 = - 1;

a1 /a2 = 1/2

b1 /b2 = - 1

c1 /c2 = 2

since a1/a2 b1/b2

So, both lines intersect at a point. Therefore, the pair of equations has a unique solution. Hence, these equations are consistent.

Now, x + y = 2 or y = 2-x

If x = 0 then y = 2 and if x = 2 then y = 0

and

If x = 0 then y = - 1 if x = then y = 0 and if x = 1 then y = 1

Plotting the points A (2,0) and B(0,2), we get the straight line AB. Plotting the points C(0,- 1) and D(1/2, 0), we get the straight line CD.

The lines AB and CD intersect at E (1, 1).

Hence, infinite lines can pass through the intersection point of linear equations and i.e. E (1, 1) like as y = x, x + 2y = 3, x + y = 2 and so on.


Question 22.

If (x + 1) is a factor of (2x3 + ax2 + 2bx + 1) then find the value of a and b given that 2a - 3b = 4


Answer:

Given that (x + 1) is a factor of f(x)= (2x3 + ax2 + 2bx + 1), then f(-1) = 0

[if is a factor of f(x)= ax2 + bx + c then f( - α) = 0]


-2 + a-2b + 1 = 0
a - 2b - 1 = 0 …(i)


Also, 2a - 3b = 4


3b = 2a - 4



Now, put the value of b in Eq. (i), we get



3a - 2(2a - 4) - 3 = 0
3a - 4a + 5 = 0
a = 5


Now, put the value of a in Eq. (i), we get


5 - 2b - 1 = 0
2b = 4
b = 2


Hence, the required values of a and b are 5 and 2, respectively.


Question 23.

Answer:

Given that, x, y and are the angles of a triangle.

So, x + y + 40 = 180


[since, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180o]


And hence x + y = 140 …(i)


Also, difference of angles = x – y = 30 …(ii)


On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get


2x = 170


So, x = 85


On putting in Eq. (i), we get


y = 55


Hence, the required values of x and y are 85 and 55, respectively.



Question 24.

Two years ago, Salim was thrice as old as his daughter and six years later, he will be four year older than twice her age. How old are they now?


Answer:

Let Salim and his daughter’s age be x and y years respectively.

Now, by first condition


Two years ago, Salim was thrice as old as his daughter.


i.e., x - = 3(y - 2)


so, x - 3y = - 4 …(i)


and by second condition, six years later. Salim will be four years older than twice her age.


(x + 6) = 2(y + 6) + 4


x + 6 = 2y + 16


x – 2y = 10 …(ii)


On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get


x – 2y = 10


- (x–3y =- 4)


We get, y = 14


Put the value of y in Eq. (ii), we get


x - 2(14) = 10


so, x = 38


Hence, Salim and his daughter’s age are 38 year and 14 year, respectively.



Question 25.

The age of the father is twice the sum of the ages of his two children. After 20 yr, his age will be equal to the sum of the ages of his children. Find the age of the father.


Answer:

Let the present age (in year) of father and his two children be x, y and z year, respectively.

Now by given condition, x = 2(y + z) …(i)


and after 20 year, (x + 20) = (y + 20) + (z + 20)


so, x = y + z + 20 or y + z = x - 20 …(ii)


On putting the value of (y + z) in Eq, (i) and get the present age of father


So, x = 2(x -20)


x = 40


Hence, the father’s age is 40 yr.



Question 26.

Two numbers are in the ratio 5:6. If 8 is subtracted from each of the numbers, the ratio becomes 4:5, then find the numbers.


Answer:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Then, by first condition, ratio of these two numbers = 5 :6




and by second condition, then, 8 is subtracted from each of the numbers, then ratio becomes 4:5


=



5x – 4y = 8


Now, put the value of y in Eq. (ii), we get


5x – 4 ( ) = 8


So


And x = 40


Put the value of x in Eq. (i), we get


So, y = = 48


Hence, the required numbers are 40 and 48.



Question 27.

There are some students in the two examination halls A and B. To make the number of students equal in each hall, 10 students are sent from A to B but, if 20 students are sent from B to A, the number of students in A becomes double the number of students in B, then find the number of students in the both halls.


Answer:

Let the number of students in halls A and B are x and y, respectively.

Now, by given condition, x – 10 = y + 10


x - y = 20 …(i)


and (x + 20) = 2(y - 20)


x–2y = -60 …(ii)


On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get


(x - y) - (x -2y) = 80


y = 80


On putting y = 80 in Eq. (i), we get


x – 80 = 20


so, x = 100


Hence, 100 students are in hall A and 80 students are in hall B.



Question 28.

A shopkeeper gives books on rent for reading. She takes a fixed charge for the first two days and an additional charge for each day thereafter. Latika paid Rs 22 for a book kept for six days, while Anand paid Rs 16 for the book kept for four days. Find the fixed charges and the charge for each extra day.


Answer:

Let Latika takes a fixed charge for the first two day is Rs x and additional charge for each day thereafter is Rs y.

Now by first condition.


Latika paid Rs 22 for a book kept for six days i.e., for first two days as Rs x and remaining Rs 4y.


x + 4y = 22 …(i)


and by second condition,


Anand paid Rs 16 for a book kept for four days i.e., for first two days as x’ and remaining Rs 2y.


x + 2y = 16 …(ii)


Now, subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get


2y = 6


y = 3


On putting the value of y in Eq. (ii), we get


x + 2(3) = 16


x = 10


Hence, the fixed charge = Rs 10


and the charge for each extra day Rs 3.

We know that, by property of cyclic quadrilateral,

Sum of opposite angles = 180o



Since
and


So, 7x + y = 170 …(i)


and


Since
and


So, 5x + 3y = 190 …(ii)


On multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 and then subtracting, we get


3(7x + y) – (5x + 3y) = 3(170) – 190


16x = 320


x = 20


On putting x = 20 in Eq. (i), we get


7(20) + y = 170


So, y = 30


And hence



= 20 + 30 = 50



Hence, the required values of x and y are 20 and 30 respectively and the values of the four angles i.e., and, are 130, 100, 50, and 80, respectively.




Exercise 3.4
Question 1.

Graphically, solve the following pair of equations

2x + y = 6 and 2x – y + 2 = 0

Find the ratio of the areas of the two triangles formed by the lines representing these equations with the X - axis and the lines with the Y - axis.


Answer:

Given equations are 2x + y = 6 and 2x – y + 2 = 0

Table for equation 2x + y - 6 = 0, for x = 0, y = 6, for y = 0, x = 3.



Table for equation 2x – y + 2 = 0, for x = 0, y = 2, for y = 0,x = - 1



Let A1 and A2 represent the areas of and & respectively where E is the intersection of lines.



Now, Area of triangle formed with x -axis =

And Area of triangle formed with y - axis =





Hence, the pair of equations intersect graphically at point E(1,4)


i.e., x = 1 and y = 4.



Question 2.

Determine graphically, the vertices of the triangle formed by the lines

y = x, 3y = x and x + y = 8


Answer:

Given linear equations are

y = x …(i)


3y = x …(ii)


and x + y = 8 …(iii)


For equation y = x,


If x = 1, then y = 1


If x = 0, then y = 0


If x = 2, then y = 2


Table for line y = x,



For equation x = 3y,


If x = 0, then y = 0. if x = 3, then y = 1, and if x = 6, then y = 2


Table for line x = 3y,



For equation x + y = 8 or x = 8 - y


If x = 0, then y = 8, if x = 8, then y = 0 and if x = 4, then y = 4.


Table for line x + y = 8



Plotting the points A (1, 1) and B(2,2) we get the straight line AB.


Plotting the points C (3, 1) and D(6, 2), we get the straight line CD.


Plotting the point P (0, 8), Q(4, 4) and R(8, 0), we get the straight line PQR.


We see that lines AB and CD intersecting the line PR on Q and D, respectively.



So, is formed by these lines. Hence, the vertices of the formed by the given lines are O(0, 0), Q(4, 4) and D(6,2).

Now, the table for line 2x - y - 4 = 0


for x = 0, y = - 4 and for y = 0, x = 2



Draw the points P(0, - 4) and Q(2, 0) and join these points and form a line PQ also draw the lines x = 3 and x = 5.



Area of Quadrileral ABCD = 1/2×(distance between parallel lines)

{since AB = OB-OA = 5-3 = 2, AD = 2 and BC = 6}
= 8 sq units



Question 4.

The cost of 4 pens and 4 pencils boxes is Re100. Three times the cost of a pen is Re 15 more than the cost of a pencil box. Form the pair of linear equations for the above situation. Find the cost of a pen and a pencil box.


Answer:

Let the cost of a pen be Re x and the cost of a pencil box be Re y.

4x + 4y = 100


or x + y = 25 …(i)


and 3x = y + 15


3x-y = 15 …(ii)


On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get


4x = 40


So, x = 10


By substituting x = 10, in Eq. (i) we get


Y = 25-10 = 15


Hence, the cost of a pen and a pencil box are Rs 10 and Rs15, respectively.



Question 5.

Determine, algebraically, the vertices of the triangle formed by the lines

3x-y = 2

2x-3y = 2

and x + 2y = 8


Answer:

Given equation of lines are

3x - y = 2 …(i)


2x -3y = 2 …(ii)


and x + 2y = 8 …(iii)


Let lines (i), (ii) and (iii) represent the side of a ∆ABC i.e., AB, BC and CA respectively.


On solving lines (i) and (ii), we will get the intersecting point B.


On multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 in Eq. (i) and then subtracting, we get


(9x-3y)-(2x-3y) = 9-2


7x = 7


x = 1


On putting the value of x in Eq. (i), we get


3×1-y = 3
y = 0


So, the coordinate of point or vertex B is (1, 0)


On solving lines (ii) and (iii), we will get the intersecting point C.


On multiplying Eq. (iii) by 2 and then subtracting, we get


(2x + 4y)-(2x-3y) = 16-2
7y = 14
y = 2


On putting the value of y in Eq. (iii), we get




Hence, the coordinate of point or vertex C is (4, 2).


On solving lines (iii) and (i), we will get the intersecting point A.


On multiplying in Eq. (i) by 2 and then adding Eq. (iii), we get


(6x-2y) + (x + 2y) = 6 + 8
7x = 14
x = 2


On putting the value of x in Eq. (i), we get


3×2 - y = 3
y = 3


So, the coordinate of point or vertex A is (2, 3).


Hence, the vertices of the ∆ABC formed by the given lines are A (2, 3), B(1, 0) and C (4, 2).

Question 11.

A shopkeeper sells a saree at 8% profit and a sweater at 10% discount, thereby, getting a sum ₹ 1008. If she had sold the saree at 10% profit and the sweater at 8% discount, she would have got ₹ 1028 then find the cost of the saree and the list price (price before discount) of the sweater.


Answer:

Let the cost price of the saree and the list price of the sweater be ₹ x and ₹ y, respectively.

Case I Sells a saree at 8% profit + Sells a sweater at 10% discount = ₹ 1008




…(i)


Case II Sold the saree at 10% profit + Sold the sweater at 8% discount = ₹ 1028


(100 + 10)% of x + (100-8%) of y = 1028
110% of x + 92% of y = 1028
1.10x + 0.92 y = 1028 …(ii)


On putting the value of y from Eq. (i) into Eq. (ii), we get


1.1 × 0.9x + 0.92 × (1008-1.08x) = 1028×0.9
0.99x-0.9936x = 9252-927.36
-0.0036x = -2.16



On putting the value of x in Eq. (i), we get







Hence, the cost price of the saree and the list price (price before discount) of the sweater are ₹ 600 and ₹ 400, respectively.


Question 12.

Susan invested certain amount of money in two schemes A and B, which offer interest at the rate of 8% per annum and 9% per annum, respectively. She received ₹ 1860 as annual interest. However, had she interchanged the amount of investments in the two schemes, she would have received ₹ 20 more as annual interest. How much money did she invest in each scheme?


Answer:

Let the amount of investments in schemes A and B ₹ x and ₹ y, respectively.

Case I Interest at the rate of 8% per annum on scheme A + Interest at the rate of 9% per annum on scheme B = Total amount received



Since,


so, 8x + 9y = 186000 …(i)


Case II Interest at the rate of 9% per annum on scheme A + Interest at the rate of 8% per annum on scheme B = ₹ 20 more as annual Interest



So, 9x + 8y = 188000 …(ii)


On multiplying Eq. (i) by 9 and Eq. (ii) by 8 and then subtracting them, we get


(72x + 81y) – (72x + 64y) = 186000 – 188000


17y = 170000


y = 10000


On putting the value of y in Eq. (i), we get


8x + 9(10000) = 186000


So x = 12000


Hence, she invested ₹ 12000 and ₹ 10000 in two schemes A and B, respectively.



Question 13.

Vijay had some bananas and he divided them into two lots A and B. He sold the first lot at the rate of ₹ 2 for 3 bananas and the second lot at the rate of ₹ 1 per banana and got a total of ₹ 400. If he had sold the first lot at the rate of ₹ 1 per banana and the second lot at the rate of ₹ 4 for 5 bananas, his total collection would have been ₹ 460. Find the total number of bananas he had.


Answer:

Let the number of bananas in lot A and B be x and y, respectively

Case I :


Cost of the first lot at the rate of ₹ 2 for 3 bananas + Cost of the second lot at the rate of ₹ 1 per banana = Amount received


…(i)


Case II :


Cost of the first lot at the rate of ₹ 1 per banana + Cost of the second lot at the rate of ₹ 4 for 5 bananas = Amount received


…(ii)


On multiplying in Eq. (i) by 4 and Eq. (ii) by 3 and then subtracting them, we get


(8x + 12y) – (15x + 12y) = 4800 – 6900


- 7x = - 2100


x = 300


Now, put the value of in Eq. (i), we get


2(300) + 3y = 1200


3y = 600


y = 200


∴ Total number of bananas = Number of bananas in lot Number of bananas in lot B = x + y


x + y = 300 + 200 = 500


Hence, he had 500 bananas.
