Question 21.


Which of the following equations have x = 7, y = 3 as solution?


  1.     x + y = 4 
  2.     x + 3y = 16
  3.     x - y + 4 = 0
  4.     x + y = 7 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> x + 3y = 16
:
B

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.
7+3(3)=16
Hence x=7 and y=3 is the solution of   x + 3y = 16. 


Question 22.

___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> x + 3y = 16
:

If the point (2,2) lies on the given linear equation, then it must satisfy the equation.
Putting the value of x and y in the equation we get:
4(2)+5(2)=k
k=18
Thus, the value of k is 18.

The solution of a linear equation satisfies the equation.
 3×3+4×4=9+16=2538 (3, 4) does not satisfy the equation.
3×6+4×5=18+20=38 (6, 5) satisfies the equation.
3×2+4×19=6+76=8238 (2, 19) does not satisfy the equation.
3×3+4×12=9+48=5738 (3, 12) does not satisfy the equation.


Question 25.


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 l and b be the length and breadth of the room respectively.
Then, the perimeter of the room is 2(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=20 m
l=20+6=26 m
Therefore, length and breadth are 26 m and 20 m long respectively.


Question 26.

On The Basis Of The Graph Shown Below Which Shows The graph...


  1.     a unique
  2.     infinite
  3.     four
  4.     zero
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> a unique
:
A

If the graph of linear equations represented by the lines intersect at only one point, then the point is its only solution.
Here, the lines meet at only one point (1,-1). Therefore, the given pair of equations has a unique solution.


Question 27.


Solve the following system of equations:
8v−3u=5uv
6v−5u=−2uv
 


  1.     u=0,v=0
  2.     u=2231,v=1123
  3.     Both A and B 
  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
Question 28.


If y=12(3x+7)  is written in the form ax+by+c=0, which of the following are possible values of a, b and c?


  1.     a=+3, b=2, c=+7 
  2.     a=+3, b=+2, c=+7  
  3.     a=3, b=+2, c=7  
  4.     a=3, b=2, c=7  
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> a=+3, b=2, c=+7 
:
A and C

The given equation is y=12(3x+7).
Simplifying the equation we get
2y3x7=0 
Rewriting the equation in standard form ax + by + c = 0 we get
3x+2y7=0
On comparing the above equation with standard form ax + by +c = 0, we get the values of a, b and c is -3, 2 and -7 respectively.
But the equation can also be written as,
3x2y+7=0
(By multiplying both the sides by (-1))
On comparing the above equation with standard form ax + by +c = 0, we get the value of a, b and c is +3, -2 and +7 respectively.


Question 29.


Solve the equations for x and y.


2x3y=7


5x+y=9


  1.     3,4 
  2.     2, -1
  3.     2,2
  4.     3, -1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2, -1
:
B

Given
2x3y=7...(i)
5x+y=9...(ii)
Rearranging (ii), we get  y=95x...(iii)
Substituting (iii) in (i),  we get
2x3(95x)=7
17x=34
  x=2.
Substituting the value of  x in (i), we get
2(2)3y=7
  y=1.


Question 30.


The solution of the pair of linear equations
x+2y=5 and 7x+3y=13 is (2, 1).


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     a=3, b=+2, c=7  
  4.     a=3, b=2, c=7  
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

x+2y=5   ...(1)


7x+3y=13  ...(2) 


Let's solve these equations using elimination method.
On multiplying the first equation by 7, we get


7x+14y=35   ...(3)


On subtracting (2) from (3), we have 


  7x+14y=35


7x3y=13
_______________


  11y=22
 
y=2 


On subsituting value of y in  x+2y=5, we get
x+2(2)=5
x=1 


x=1 and y=2
Hence, the solution of the given equations is (1, 2).
