Question 1.
Solve the following pair of linear equation by graphical method : 4x – 5y = 20, and 3x + 5y = 15, with the help of this find the value of m while 4x + 3y = m.
Solution :
The given equations are:
4x – 5y = 20 …………(1)
And 3x + 5y = 15 …………..(2)
For representation of these equations graphically, we draw the graphs of these equations as follows:
4x – 5y = 20
y = $$\frac{20-4 x}{-5}$$
y = $$\frac{4 x-20}{5}$$
We put the different values of x in this equation, then we get different values of y and we prepare the table of x, y for the equaiton 4x – 5y = 20.

 x 5 10 – 1 y 0 4 – 4.8

And 3x + 5y = 15
⇒ y = $$\frac{15-3 x}{5}$$
We put the different values of x in this equation, then we get different values of y and we prepare the table of x, y for the equation 3x + 5y = 15.

 x 0 5 1 y 3 0 2.4

Now, we plot the values of x hind y from tables 1 and 2 on the graph paper and we draw the graphs of the equations 1 and 2, those passes through these values.
Observe that we get two straight lines which intersect each other at point (5, 0). Hence, x = 5, y = 0 is the required solution put these values of x and y in the equation 4x + 3y = m, we get
4 × 5 + 3 × 0 = m
⇒ 20 + 0 = m
⇒ m = 20

Question 2.
Solve the following pair of linear equations by graphical method :
3x – 5y = – 1 and 2x – y = – 3. Thus find the value of A in the relation (x + y)2 = A
Solution :
The given equation are :
3x – 5y = – 1
And 2x – y = – 3 …………(2)
For representation of these equations graphically, we draw the graphs of these equations are follows:
3x – 5y = – 1
⇒ y = $$\frac{-1-3 x}{-5}$$
⇒ y = $$\frac{3 x+1}{5}$$
We put the different values of x in this equation, then we get different values of y and we prepare the table of x and y for the equation 3x – 5y = – 1.

 x 3 5 6 y 2 3.2 3.8

And 2x – y = – 3
y = $$\frac{-3-2 x}{-1}$$
= 3 + 2x
We put the different values of x in this equation, then we get different values of y and we prepare the table of x and y for the equation
2x – y = – 3

 x 1 2 – 2 y 5 7 – 1

Now, we plot the values of x and y from tables 1 and 2 on the graph paper and we draws the graphs of equations 1 and 2 those passes through these values.

Observe that we get two straight lines which intersects each other at point (-2, -1) Hence, x = -2, y = -1 is the required solution put the values of x and y in the equation (x + y)2 = A, we get
[- 2 + (-1)]2 = A
(-3) = A
A = 9

Question 4.
Solve the following pair of linear equations by graphical method 2x + y = 6 and 2x – y = 2. Thus find the value of P in the relation 6x + 7y = P.
Solution :
The given equations are :
2x + y = 6 ………..(1)
And 2x – y = 2 …………(2)
For representation of these equations graphically, we draw the graphs of these equations as follows
2x + y = 6
⇒ y = 6 – 2x
We put the different values of x in this equation, then we get different galues of y and we prepare the table of x, y for the equation 2x + y = 6.

 x 1 2 0 y 4 2 6

And 2x – y = 2
⇒ y = $$\frac{2-2 x}{-1}$$
⇒ y = 2x – 2
We put the different values of x in this equation, then we get different values of y and we prepare the table of x and y for the equation
2x – y = 2

 x 0 1 2 y – 2 0 2

Now, we plot the values of x and y from tables 1 and 2 on the graph paper and we draw the graphs of the equations 1 and 2, those passes through these values.
Observe that we get two different straight lines which intersect each other at point (2, 2).
Hence, x = 2, y = 2 is the required solution. Put the values of x and y in the relation
6x + 7y = P we get
6 × 2 + 7 × 2 = P
⇒ 12 + 14 = P
⇒ P = 26

Question 5.
For ultarakhand Flood victims two reactions A and B of class 10 contributed ₹ 1500. If the contribution of class 10, A was ₹ 100 less than that of class 10 B, find the graphically the amount contributed by both reactions.
Solution :
Let contribution of A be ₹ x and contribution of B be ₹ y.
According to question
x + y = 1500 ………….. (1)
Contribution of A is ₹ 100 less than that of B
∴ x + 100 = y ………… (2)
For representation of these equations graphically, we draw the graphs of these equations as follows:
x + y = 1500
⇒ y = 1500 – x
We put the different values of x in this equation, then we get different values of y and we prepare the table of x, y for the equation
x + y = 1500

 x 400 500 700 y 1100 1000 800

And x + 100 = y
⇒ y = x + 100
We put the different values of x in this equation, then we get different value of y and we prepare the table of x, y for the equation
x + 100 = y

 x 400 500 300 y 500 600 400

Now, we plot the values of x and y from tables 1 and 2 on the graph paper and we draw the graphs of the equations 1 and 2 those passes through these values.
Observe that we get two different straight lines which intersect each other at point (700, 800)
Hence,
x = ₹ 700,
y = ₹ 800
Therefore, contribution of A is ₹ 700 and contribution of B is ₹ 800.

Question 6.
If 2x + y = 23 and 4x – y = 19, find the value of (5y – 2x) and ($$\frac {y}{x}$$– 2)
Solution :
The given equations are :
2x + y = 23 ………(1)
4x – y = 19 ……..(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2) we get
6x = 42
⇒ x = $$\frac {42}{6}$$ = 7
Substituting the value of x in equation (1), we get
2 × 7 + y = 23
⇒ y = 23 – 14 = 9
So, x = 7, y = 9
Putting the values of x and y in 5y – 2x, we get 5 × 9 – 2 × 7 = 45 – 14 = 31.
And putting the values of x and y in the $$\frac {y}{x}$$ – 2, we get
$$\frac {9}{7}$$ – 2 = $$\frac{9-14}{7}=\frac{-5}{7}$$
Hence, 5y – 2x = 31 and $$\frac {y}{x}$$ – 2 = – $$\frac {5}{7}$$

Question 7.
A father’s age is three times the sum of the ages of his two children. After 5 years his age will be two times the sum of their ages. Find the present age of the father.
Solution :
Let the age of father be x years and the sum of ages of his children be y years.
According to questions,
x = 3y …….. (1)
After 5 years
Age of father = (x + 5) years
And sum of ages of his children = (y + 10) years
According to the question,
x + 5 = 2(y + 10)
⇒ x + 5 = 2y + 20
⇒ x – 2y = 20 – 5
⇒ x – 2y = 15 ……..(2)
From equation (1), substituting the value of x in the equation, we get
3y – 2y – 15
⇒ y = 15 years
Putting the value of y in the equation we get
x = 3 × 15 = 45 years
Hence, present age of father = 45 years.

Question 8.
Raghav scored 70 marks in a test, getting 4 marks for each right answer and losing 1 mark for each wrong answer. Had 5 marks been awarded for each correct answer and 2 marks been deducted for each wrong answer, then Raghav would have scored so marks. How many questions were there in the test.
Solution :
Let the number of right answers be x and number of wrong answers be y.
According to question,
4x – y = 70 ………… (1)
And 5x – 2y = 80 ………..(2)
Multiplying equation in (1) by 2 and substracting equ. (2) from equ. (1), we get

⇒ x = $$\frac {60}{3}$$ = 20
Substituting the value of x in the equ. (1) we
4 × 20 – y = 70
⇒ – y = 70 – 80 = – 10
⇒ y = 10.
Hence, total number of questions = x + y = 20 + 10 = 30.

Question 9.
In a painting competition of a school a child made Indian national flag whose perimeter was 50 cm. Ita area will be decreased by 6 square em, if length is decreased by 3 cm and breadth is increased by 2 cm then find the dimension of flag.
Solution :
Let the length of the flag be x cm and its breadth be y cm,
so, its area = xy cm2 ………..(1)
According to condition (i)
2(x + y) = 50
⇒ x + y = 25 …….(2)
If length is decreased by 3 cm. then new length is (x – 3) cm. And breadth is increased by 2 cm then new breadth is (y + 2) cm.
New area = (x – 3) (y + 2) cm2
According to condition (ii)
(x – 3) (y + 2) = xy – 6 [Using equ. (1)]
⇒ xy + 2x – 3y – 6 = xy – 6
⇒ 2x – 3y = 0 ……(3)
So, the equation of pair is
x + y – 25 = 0 …….(2)
2x – 3y + 0 = 0 …….(3)
By cross multiplication method, we get

⇒ x = 15 cm and y = 10 cm.
Hence, length of flag is 15 cm and its breadth is 10 cm.

Question 10.
Sumit is 3 times as old as his son. Five years later, he shall be two and half times as old as his son. How old is sumit at present age ?
Solution :
Let present age of sumit be x years and present age of his son be y years.
According to question
x = 3y
x – 3y = 0 …….. (1)
After 5 years later
Age of sumit = (x + 5) years
And age of his son = (y + 5) years
According to question,
x + 5 = 2$$\frac {1}{2}$$(y + 5)
x + 5 = $$\frac {5}{2}$$(y + 5)
2x + 10 – 5y + 25
2x – 5y = 25 – 10
2x – 5y = 15
Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and substracting eqn. (2) from equ. (1), we get

⇒ y = 15
y = 15 Substituting the value of y in the equ. (1) we
x – 3 × 15 = 0
⇒ x = 45 years
Hence, present age of sumit = 45 years.

Question 11.
For what value of k, will the following pair of equations have infinitely many solutions :
2x + 3y = 7 and (k + 2) x – 3 (1 – k)y = 5k + 1.
Solution :
The given equations are :
2x + 3y – 7 = 0
And (k + 2)x – 3 (1 – k)y – (5k + 1) = 0
The condition for infinitely many solutions is :
⇒ $$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}$$
⇒ $$\frac{2}{k+2}=\frac{3}{-3(1-k)}=\frac{-7}{-(5 k+1)}$$
⇒ – 6 (1 – k) = 3k + 6
and – 10k – 2 = – 7k – 14
⇒ – 6 + 6k = 3k + 6
and – 10k + 7k = – 14 + 2
⇒ 3k = 12 and – 3k = – 12
⇒ k = 4 and k = $$\frac {-12}{-3}$$ = 4
Hence k = 4

Question 12.
For what values of m and n the following system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions:
3x + 4y = 12 and (m + n)x + 2 (m -n)y = 5m – 1.
Solution :
The given equations are :
3x + 4y – 12 = 0 ………(1)
(m + n)x + 2(m – n)y – (5m – 1) = 0
The condition for infinitely many solution is :

⇒ 6m – 6n = 4m + 4n
and 15m – 3 = 12m + 12n
⇒ 6m – 4m = 6n + 4n
and 15m – 12m – 12n = 3
2m = 10n and 3m – 12n = 3
⇒ m = 5n and m – 4n = 1
Putting the value of m in (m – 4n = 1) we get
5n – 4n = 1
n = 1
Putting the value of n is m = 5n, we get
m = 5 × 1 = 5
Hence, m = 5, n = 1.

(b) $$\frac {2}{5}$$
(c) 5
(d) 10
Solution :
(d) 10

Given equation are :
x + 2y – 3 = 0 And
5x + ky + 7 = 0
The condition for inconsistant is:
$$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$$
Taking first two order, we get
$$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}$$
⇒ $$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{k}$$
⇒ k = 10

4x + ky = 10 has infinite number of solutions, is :
(a) 3
(b) 6
(c) 0
(d) 1
Solution :
(b) 6

For inifinite number of solutions
$$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}$$
$$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{3}{k}=\frac{5}{10}$$
⇒ k = $$\frac {12}{2}$$ = 6
So correct option (b).

kx + 2y – 5 = 0
x + 3y – 2 = 0
For unique solution
$$\frac{a_1}{a_2} \neq \frac{b_1}{b_2}$$
⇒ $$\frac{k}{1} \neq \frac{2}{3}$$
⇒ k ≠ $$\frac {2}{3}$$
So correct option (b).
