Q.-  5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs.50 whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs.46.The cost of 1 pen is 
a. Rs. 5
b. Rs. 6
c. Rs. 3
d. Rs. 4
 
Ans-  a. Rs.5
 
Explanation: Let, cost(in RS) of one pencil = x
and cost (in RS) of one pen = y
Therefore , according to question
5x+7y = 50 ........ (1)
7x + 5y = 46 .........(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 7 and equation (2) by 5 we get
7(5x+7y)= 7 × 50
35x +49y = 350 .......(3)
and 5(7x +5y) = 5 × 46
35x +25y = 230 ....... (4)
Subtract equation (4) from equation 3 , we get
35x + 49y - 35x - 25y = 350 -230
49y -25y = 120
24y = 120
y = 120/24
y= 5
Substitute y = 5 in equation 1 , we get
5x + 7 5 =50
5x + 35 = 50
5x = 50 - 35
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x =3
Hence, Cost of One Pen = y =5
 
Q.-  The expenses of a lunch are partly constant and partly proportional to the number of guests. The expenses amount to Rs. 65 for 7 guests and Rs. 97 for 11 guests. How much the expenses for 18 guests will amount to?
 
Ans- Let the fixed expenses = Rs. x
and proportional charges = Rs. y
As per given condition
The expenses amount to Rs. 65 for 7 guests .
x + 7y = 65 ..(i)
And the expenses amount Rs. 97 for 11 guests.
So, x + 11y = 97 ..(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
4y = 32
y = 8
Put y = 8 eq. (i) , we get
x + 7(8) = 65
x = 9
Now, expenses for 18 guests
= x + 18y
= 9 + 18(8)
= 9 + 144 = Rs. 153
 
Q.-  Write the value of k for which the system of equations 3x + ky = 0, 2x - y = 0 has a unique solution. 
 
Ans-  The given equations are
3x + ky = 0 ........ (i)
2x - y = 0 ......... (ii)
We know that,
The system of linear equations is in the form of
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
Compare (i) and (ii), we get
a1 = 3, b1 = k and c1 = 0
a2 = 2 , b2 = -1 and c2 = 0
The equations has a unique solution if a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2
So, 3/2 ≠ k/-1
k ≠ -3/2
Thus, k can take any real values except - 3/2.
 
Q.- Examine whether the solution set of the system of equations 3x – 4y = – 7; 3x – 4y = –9. Is consistent or inconsistent.
 
Ans- The given system of equation is :
3x - 4y = -7.........(1)
3x - 4y = -9..........(2)
Here, a1 = 3, b1 = -4, c1 = 7
a2 = 3, b2 = -4, c2 = 9
We see that a1/a= b1/b≠ c1/c2 
Hence, the lines represented by the given pair of linear equations are parallel. 
Therefore, equation (1) and (2) have no common solution,i.e., the solution set of the given  system equations is inconsistent.
 
Q.-One says, "Give me a hundred rupee, friend! I shall then become twice as rich as you are."
The other replies, "If you give me ten rupees, I shall be six times as rich as you are." Tell me how much money both have initially? 
 
Ans-  Suppose initially, they had Rs x and Rs. y with them respectively. as per condition given in the question, we obtain
x + 100 = 2(y - 100)
x + 100 = 2y - 200
x - 2y = -300 ...(i)
and 6(x - 10) = (y + 10)
6x - 60 = y + 10
6x - y = 70 .....(ii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 2 & then subtracting eqeation (i) from it, we obtain:-
(12x - 2y)-(x - 2y) = 140 - (- 300 )
11x = 140 + 300
11x = 440
x = 40
Putting x = 40 in equation (i), we obtain
40 - 2y = -300
40 + 300 = 2y
2y = 340
y = 170
Therefore, initially they had Rs 40 and Rs 170 with them respectively.

LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES

Q.- Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. find the dimensions of the garden. 

Ans- Let the dimensions (i.e., length and width) of the garden be x and y m respectively.
Then, x = y + 4 and (2x + 2y) = 36
x - y = 4           ...(1)
x + y = 36        ...(2)
Let us draw the graphs of equations (1) and (2) by finding two solutions for each of the equations. These two solution of the equations (1) and (2) are given below in table 1 and table 2 respectively.
For equation (1)
x - y = 4

We plot the points A(4, 0) and B(2, -2) on a graph paper and join these points to form the line AB representing. The equation (1) as shown in the figure.
Also, we plot the points C(20, 16) and D(16, 20) on the same graph paper and join these points to form the line CD representing the equation (2) as shown in the same figure.
WT_PLE2V tests 3
In the figure, we observe that the two lines intersect at the point C(20, 16) So x = 20, y = 16
is the required solution of the pair of linear equations formed. i.e., the dimensions of the garden are 20 m and 16 m.
Verification : substituting x = 20 and y = 16 in (1) and (2), we find that both the equations are satisfied as shown below:
20 - 16 = 4
20 + 16 = 36
This verifies the solution.
 
Q.-Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4m more than its width is 36m. The area of the garden is 
a. 320 m2
b. 300 m2
c. 400 m2
d. 360 m2
 
Ans-  a. 320 m2
 
Explanation: Let the width be x.
then length be x+4
According to the question,
l+b=36
x+(x+4)=36
2x+4=36
2x=36-4
2x=32
x=16.
Hence, The length of the garden will be 20 m and width will be 16 m.
Area = length breath= 20 16 = 320 m2
 
Q.- If a pair of linear equation is consistent, then the lines will be 
a. always intersecting
b. intersecting or coincident
c. always coincident
d. parallel
 
Ans- b. intersecting or coincident
 
Explanation: If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent. When you graph; the equations, both equations represent the same line. So for consistent line it has to be parallel or even they intersect at one
point. If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent. The graphs of the lines do not intersect, so the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.
 
Q.- Find two numbers such that the sum of thrice the first and the second is 142, and four times the first exceeds the second by 138. 
 
Ans-  Let the first and second numbers be x and y respectively.
According to the given condition,
The sum of thrice the first and the second is 142.
3x + y = 142 ..........(i)
And as per second condition
Four times the first exceeds the second by 138
4x - y = 138.............(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
7x = 280
x=280/7=40
Putting x = 40 in (i), we get
3×40+y=142
y = 142 - 120
y = 22
Hence, the first and second numbers are 40 and 22.
 
Q.-A system of two linear equations in two variables has a unique solution, if their graphs 
a. do not intersect at any point
b. coincide
c. cut the x – axis

Explanation: Number of solutions of a system of two linear equations in two variables are equal to number of common points between the graphs of given linear equations.
If a system has unique solution then their graphs must intersect in only one poin
 
Q.- A system of two linear equations in two variables is inconsistent, if their graphs
a. intersect only at a point
b. coincide
c. do not intersect at any point
d. cut the x – axis
 
Ans- c. do not intersect at any point
Explanation: A system of two linear equations in two variables is inconsistent,if their graphs do not intersect at any point.
In this case, a pair of lines represented by the system are parallel to each other.
so they do not intersect each other at any point. the system is an inconsistent system of linear equations and the equations are independent.
 
Q.- Every linear equation in two variables has 
a. two solutions
b. no solution
c. an infinite number of solutions
d. one solution
 
Ans- c. an infinite number of solutions
Explanation: A linear equation in two variables is of the form, ax + by + c = 0,
where geometrically it does represent a straight line and every point on this graph is a solution for a given linear equation.
As a line consists of an infinite number of points,A linear equation has an infinite number of solutions
 
Q.- The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Find the numbers. 
 
Ans-  Let the two numbers be x and y (x > y)
We are given that,
The difference between two numbers is 26.
x - y = 26                  ...(i)
And one number is three times the other.
x = 3y                       ...(ii)
On substituting the value x from eqn. (ii) in eqn. (i), we get
3y - y = 26
2y =26
y = 13
Put y = 13 in (ii) we get
x = 3(13) = 39
Hence, the two numbers are 39 and 13.

Both the lines y=0 and y=-5 are parallel to x-axis. Hence they do not have solution
 
Q.- A and B each have a certain number of mangoes. A says to B, "if you give 30 of your mangoes, I will have twice as many as left with you." B replies, "if you give me 10, I will have thrice as many as left with you." How many mangoes does each have? 
 
Ans-  Assume A has x mangoes and B has y mangoes.
As per given condition if B gives 30 then A will have twice as many as left by B.
(x + 30) = 2(y - 30)
x + 30 = 2y - 60
x = 2y - 90            ....(1)
And if A gives 10 mangoes to B, then B will have thrice as many as left by A.
3(x - 10) = (y + 10)
3x = y + 40 ....(2)
3(2y - 90) = y + 40 (using x from Eq. 1)
6y - 270 = y + 40
6y - y = 310
y = 62
Put y = 62 in (1)
So, x = 124 - 90 = 34
Therefore A has 34 mangoes and B has 62 mangoes.
 
Q.- Meena went to a bank to withdraw Rs.2000. She asked the cashier to give her Rs.50 and Rs.100 notes only. Meena got 25 notes in all. Find how many notes of Rs.50 and Rs.100 she received. 
 
Ans- Let the number of Rs. 50 notes and Rs. 100 notes be x and y respectively.
According to given condition,
Meena got 25 notes in all.
⇒ x + y = 25                       ...........(i)
and Meena withdraw Rs.2000.
⇒ 50x + 100y = 2000          ............(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 50, we obtain:
50x + 50y = 1250                 ............. (iii)
Subtracting equation (iii) from equation (ii), we obtain:
(50x + 100y ) - (50x + 50y) = 2000 - 1250
50x + 100y - 50x - 50y = 750
50y = 750
y = 15
Substituting the value of y in equation (i), we obtain:
x = 10
Hence, Meena received 10 notes of Rs. 50 and 15 notes of Rs. 100.
 
Q.-  Solve the system of equations: x - 2y = 0, 3x + 4y = 20. 
 
Ans- The given equations are
x - 2y = 0                 ...........(i)
3x + 4y = 20            ..........(ii)
Multiply (i) by 2, we get
2x - 4y = 0 ......... (iii)
Add (ii) and (iii), we get
5x = 20
x = 4
Put x = 4 in (i), we get
4 - 2y = 0
2y = 4
y = 2
So, x = 4 and y = 2 is the solution of given equations
 
Q.- The area of the triangle formed by 2x – y + 6 = 0, 4x + 5y – 16 = 0 and the x – axis is
