 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 60∘,  120∘,  60∘,  120∘
:
C
Let the measure of the angle be x and that of its adjacent angle be y.
x=2y...(i) (given)
x+y=180...(ii)
(sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180)
On substituting (i) in (ii), we get
2y+y=180
y=60
Since x=2y,x=120.
We know thatopposite angles of parallelogram are equal.
Measure of the angles are60, 120, 60 and 120.
Question 22. Half the perimeter of a rectangular room is 46 m, and its length is 6 m more than its breadth. What is the length and breadth of the room?
  1.    2 m, 20 m 
  2.    26 m, 20 m
  3.    56 m, 40 m
  4.    2 m, 3 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 26 m, 20 m
:
B
Let land b be the length and breadth of the room respectively.
Then, the perimeter of the room is2(l+b) metres.
From the question,
l=6+b ...(1)
12×2(l+b)=46
l+b=46 ...(2)
Let's solve these two equations using substitution method.
On substituting the value of l from (1) in (2), we get
6+b+b=46
6+2b=46
2b=40
b=20m
l=20+6=26m
Therefore, length and breadth are 26 m and 20 m long respectively.

  4.    u=3122, v= 2311
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> u=2231,v=1123
:
B
Divide the given equations by uv,
8v−3u=5uv⇒8u−3v=5...(1)
6v−5u=−2uv⇒6u−5v=−2...(2)
Assume 1u=x and 1v=y
Put the values of 1u and 1v in (1) and (2)
8x−3y=5...(3)
6x−5y=−2...(4)
Solving equations (3) and (4) we get x and y
Multiply (3) with 5 and (4) with 3 to equate the coefficients of y.
40x−15y=25
18x−15y=−6
Solve The Following System Of Equations:8v−3u=5uv6v−5u=â...
⇒x=3122⇒u=2231
Substituting x in (3)
8×3122−3y=5→3y=6911
→y=2311⇒v=1123
So, u=2231 and v=1123

The solution of the linear equation should satisfy the equation. The given values of x and y are 7 and 3 respectively.
Among the given equations, only the equation x + 3y = 16 is able to satisfy the equation.

Question 30. The time taken to travel 30 km upstream and 44 km downstream is 14 hours. If the distance covered in upstream is doubled and distance covered in downstream is increased by 11 km then the total time taken is 11 hours more than earlier. Find the speed of the stream.
  1.    4 km/hr
  2.    7 km/hr
  3.    3 km/hr
  4.    6 km/hr
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4 km/hr
:
A
Let's assume that the speed of the boat in still water is x km/hr and speed of the stream is y km/hr.
So, the speed of the boat in upstream will be (x-y) km/hr.
Similarly, the speed of the boat downstream will be (x+y) km/hr.
We know time=(distancespeed).
Using the above formula we can form the equations in two variables.
Taking the first case,
30x - y+44x + y=14.
Taking the second case,
60x - y+55x + y=25.
Now, we have the equations in two variables but the equations are not linear.
So, we will assume 1x - y=u and 1x + y=v.
So on substituting u and v in the above two equations, we get
30u+44v=14 ...(1)
60u+55v=25 ...(2)
We can solve the above two equations using the elimination method.
60u+88v=28 ...(3)
(by multiplyingequation (1) by 2)
On subtracting equation (2) from (3),we get v=111
On substituting v in equation (2)we get u=13
Now as we have assumed
1x - y=u and 1x + y=v
On substituting the values of u and v,
we get a pair of linear equations in x and y
x - y=3...(4)
x + y=11...(5)
On adding (5) from (4), we have
2x=14
x=7
On subsituting the value of x in xy=3,weget y = 4.
So, the speed of the boat in still water is 7 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr.
