Solved Problems on Class 10 Linear Equations

Question. Solve the following pairs of equations:

sol.

Question. When will the system kx – y = 2 and 6x – 2y = 3 has a unique solution only? 
Solution. A pair of linear pair has unique solution only
when, a₁/ a₂ ≠ b₁/ b₂
Then, k/6 ≠ -1/-2
So, k ≠ 3.

Question. Find the solution of x + y = 3 and 7x + 6y = 2.
Solution. x + y = 3 gives, y = 3 – x …(i)
So, 7x + 6y = 2 gives 7x + 6 (3 – x) = 2
⇒ 7x + 18 – 6x = 2
i.e. x = –16
From (i), y = 3 + 16 = 19
Thus, x = –16 and y = 19 is the required solution.

Question. Find the value(s) of k for which the pair of equations
{kx + 2y = 3/ 3x + 6y = 10} has a unique solution. 
Solution. Given: pair of equation is kx + 2y = 3
3x + 6y = 10
For a unique solution, a₁/ a₂ ≠ b₁/ b₂
Here, a₁ = k, b₁ = 2
a₂ = 3, b = 6
∴ k/ 3 ≠ 2/ 6
∴ k ≠ 1
Hence, the pair of equation has a unique solution for all real values of k except 1

Question. Write the relationship between the coefficients, if the following pair of equations are inconsistent.
ax + by + c = 0; a’x + b’y + c’ = 0.
Solution. The required relationship is:
a/ a’ = b/ b’ = c/ c’

Question. The larger of two supplementary angles exceeds the smaller by 18º. Find the angles.
Solution. Let, the smaller angle be ‘x’ and the larger angle be ‘y’. According to the given conditions:
y = x + 18°
or – x + y = 18° …(i)
and x + y = 18° …(ii)
(Sum of the supplementary angles is 180°) Now, on adding equation (i) and (ii), we get:

⇒ y = 90°
Put the value of y in equation (i), we get
– x + 99 = 18°
⇒ x = 99 – 18°
= 81°
Hence, the two supplementary angles are 81° and 99°.

Question. In a ΔABC, ∠A = x°, ∠B = 3x° and ∠C = y°. If 3y° – 5x° = 30° prove that the triangle is right angled.
Solution. We know that,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
(Sum of interior angles of triangle ABC is 180°)

Question. Find c if the system of equations cx + 3y + (3 – c) = 0; 12x + cy – c = 0 has infinitely many solutions?
Solution. Given equation is:
cx + 3y + (3 – c) = 0
12x + cy – c = 0
Condition for equations to have infinitely many solutions is:

Question. In the figure, ABCD is a rectangle. Find the values of x and y.

Solution. Given: ABCD is a rectangle

and AB = 30 cm
BC = x – y
CD = x + y
DA = 14 cm
But the opposite sides of rectangle are equal.
∴ AB = CD
x + y = 30 …(i)
and BC = AD
x – y = 14 …(ii)
On adding the equation (i) and (ii), we get:

If we put the value of x in equation (i), we get:
22 + y = 30
⇒ y = 8
Hence, the value of ‘x’ and ‘y’ are 22 and 8, respectively.

Question. For what value of k, does the system of linear equations
2x + 3y = 7
(k – 1) x + (k + 2) y = 3k
have an infinite number of solutions ?
Solution. The given system of linear equation is :

Question. The line represented by x = 7 is parallel to the x-axis. Justify whether the statement is true or not. 26
Solution. False the line represented by x = 7 is not parallel to the x-axis.
Explanation: the line represented by x = 7 is of the form x = a. The graph of the equation is a line parallel to the y-axis and perpendicular to the x-axis.

Question. If 2x + y = 23 and 4x – y = 19, find the values of 5y – 2x and x/ y – 2.
Solution. The given equations are
2x + y = 23 …(i)
4x – y = 19 …(ii)
On adding both equations, we get
⇒ 6x = 42
⇒ x = 7
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
⇒ 2(7) + y = 23
⇒ y = 23 – 14
⇒ y = 9
We have 5y – 2x = 5(9) – 2(7)
= 45 – 14
= 31
and y/x – 2 = 9/7 –2
= – 5/7
Hence, the values of (5y – 2x) and y/x – 2 are 31 and –5/7 respectively.

Question. A fraction becomes 1/ 4 when 1 is subtracted from the numerator and it becomes 1/ 4 when 8 is added to its denominator. Find the fraction.
Solution. Let the fraction be a/ b
Then, according to the question,
a−1/b = 1 4and a/ b+8 = 1/4 
⇒ 3a – b = 3 and 4a – b = 8
On solving these equations, we get:
a = 5, b = 12.
So, the fraction is 5/ 12

Question. In the figure, ABCDE is a pentagon with BEllCD and BCllDE. BC is perpendicular to CD. AB = 5 cm, AE = 5 cm, BE = 7 cm, BC = x – y and CD = x + y. If the perimeter of ABCDE is 27 cm. Find the value of x and y, given x, y ≠ 0

Solution. x + y = 7 and 2(x − y) + x + y + 5 + 5 = 27
⇒ x + y = 7 and 3x − y = 17
Solving, we get, x = 6 and y = 1.

Question. For which value(s) of λ do the pair of linear equations λx + y = λ₂ and x + λy = 1 have:
(A) no solution?
(B) infinitely many solutions?
(C) a unique solution?
Solution. The given pair of linear equations is
λx + y – λ₂ = 0
and x + λy – 1 = 0
Comparing with a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and
a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0, we have
a₁ = λ, b₁ = 1, c₁ = -λ₂;
a₂ = 1, b₂ = λ, c₂ = -1:
a1/ a2 = λ/1 : = b₁/b₂ = 1/λ : c1/c2 = -λ²/ -1= λ²/1
(A) For no solution,

Question. For which values of a and b will the following pair of linear equations have infinitely many solutions?
x + 2y = 1
(a – b)x + (a + b)y = a + b – 2
Solution. The given pair of linear equations is
x + 2y = 1
and (a – b) x + (a + b) y = a + b – 2
x + 2y – 1 = 0
and (a – b)x + (a + b)y – (a + b – 2) = 0
Comparing with a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and
a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0, we have
a₁ = 1, b₁ = 2, c₁ = -1
a2 = (a – b), b₂ = (a + b), c₂ = -(a + b – 2)

Putting the value of a from eq. (i) in eq. (ii), we get
⇒ 3b + b = 4
⇒ 4b = 4
⇒ b = 1
Putting the value of b in eq. (i), we get
a = 3(1) = 3
The values (a, b) = (3, 1) satisfies all the parts.
Hence, the required values of a and b are 3 and 1 respectively for which the given pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions.

Question. Write a pair of linear equations which has the unique solution x = 1, y =3. How many such pairs can you write? 
Solution. We know that the condition for the pair of system to have a unique solution is
a₁/ a₂ ≠ b₁/ b₂
Let the equations be
a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
It is given that x = –1 and y = 3 is the unique
solution of these two equations, then it must
satisfy the above equations.
⇒ a₁(–1) + b₁(3) + c1 = 0
⇒ – a1 + 3b1 + c1 = 0 …(i)
and a₂(– 1) + b₂(3) + c₂ = 0
⇒ – a₂ + 3b₂ + c₂ = 0 …(ii)
The restricted values of a₁, a₂ and b₁, b₂ are only
a₁/a₂ = b₁/ b₂
So, all the real values of a₁, a₂, b1, b₂ except those which satisfy eq. (iii) and satisfy eq. (i), and eq. (ii) will have the solution x = –1 and y = 3.
Hence, infinitely many pairs of linear equations are possible

Question. Solve the pair of equations: 42

Solution. Given equations are

Question. Find the solution of the pair of equations x/10 + y/5 – 1 = 0 and 5/4 = 15. Hence, find λ, if y = λx + 5. 43
Solution. The given pair of equations is

Question. By the graphical method, find whether the following pairs of equations are consistent or not. If consistent, solve them.
(A) 3x + y + 4 = 0 and 6x – 2y + 4 = 0
(B) x – 2y = 6 and 3x – 6y = 0
(C) x + y = 3 and 3x + 3y = 9
Solution. (A) 3x + y + 4 = 0 and 6x – 2y + 4 = 0
The given pair of equations is
3x + y + 4 = 0
and 6x –2y + 4 = 0
In 3x + y + 4 = 0
y = –4 – 3x
When x = 0, then y = –4
When x = –1, then y = –1
When x = –2, then y = 2

And 6x –2y + 4 = 0
y = 3x + 2
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 line 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).

Thus, the pair of equations is consistent and
has solution x = –1, y = –1.
(B) x – 2y = 6 and 3x – 6y = 0
The given pair of equations is
x – 2y = 6 and 3x – 6y = 0
∴ x – 2y = 6

and 3x – 6y = 0

Plotting the points A(0, –3) & B(6, 0), we get line AB.
Again plotting the points P(0, 0) & Q(2, 1) we get line PQ.

Since, the lines are parallel, the pair of
equations is inconsistent.
(C) x + y = 3 and 3x + 3y = 9
The given pair of equations is
x + y = 3 and 3x + 3y = 9
Now, x + y = 3
⇒ y = 3 – x
If x = 0, then y = 3
If x = 3, then y = 0
If x = 2, then y = 1

and 3x + 3y = 9
⇒ y = (9 – 3x ) /3
If x = 0 then y = 3
if x = 1, then y = 2
if x = 3, then y = 0.

Plotting the points A(0, 3) and B(3, 0), we get the line AB.
Again, plotting the points A(0, 3) and D(1, 2) and B(3, 0), we get the line ADB.

Since, the two lines are coincident, the pair of equations is consistent with infinitely many solutions.

Question. The present age of a father is three years more than three times the age of his son. Three years hence the father‘s age will be 10 years more than twice the age of the son. Determine their present ages. 
Solution. Let ‘x’ (in years) be the present age of the father and ‘y’ (in years) be the present age of the son. Then, according to the given question:
x = 3y + 3 or x – 3y = 3 …(i)
After 3 years,
Father’s age = x + 3, son’s age = y + 3
and x + 3 = 2 (y + 3) + 10
or x – 2y = 13 …(ii)
On solving the two equations, we get:
y = 10, and x = 33.
Thus, the father’s present age is 33 years and the son’s present age is 10 years

Question. Taxi charges in a city consist of fixed charges and the remaining charges depend upon the distance travelled. For a journey of 10 km, the charge paid is ₹ 75 and for a journey of 15 km, the charge paid is ₹ 110. Find the the fixed charge and charges per km. also, find the charges of covering a distance of 35 km.
Solution. Let the fixed charge be ₹ x and charges for per km be ₹ y.
As per the question,
x + 10y = 75 and x + 15y = 110
On solving the two equations, we get
x = 5, y = 7
thus, the fixed charge is ₹ 5 and the charge per km is ₹ 7.
Hence, charge for 35 km is ₹ [5 + 35(7)], i.e., ₹ 250.

Question. Write an equation for 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? 
Solution. The given equations are
x + y = 2 …(i)
2x – y = 1 …(ii)
Adding eq. (i) and (ii), we have
3x = 3 ⇒ x = 1
Substituting x = 1 in eq. (i), we have y = 1
So, the solution is x = 1 and y = 1 and the
point that represents the solution is (1, 1).
We also know that an infinite number of lines can pass through a given point, say (1, 1). Hence, infinite lines can pass through the intersection point of the linear equations
x + y = 2 and 2x – y = 1 i.e., PE(1, 1).

Question. A man can row a boat downstream 20 km in 2 hours and upstream 4 km in 2 hours. Find his speed of rowing in still water. also find the speed of the stream.
Solution. Let the speed of the stream be ‘x’ km/h’ and the speed of rowing in still water be ‘y’ km/h.
Then, the speed of rowing in the downstream is ‘x + y’ km/h.
And the speed of rowing in the upstream is ‘y – x ‘ km/h
As per the question:
question:
4 /y − x = 2 and 4/ y − x = 2 
⇒ x + y = 10 and y – x = 2
On solving the two equations, we get:
x = 4 and y = 6
thus, the speed of rowing in still water is ‘km/h,
and the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr.

Question. The angles of a triangle are x, y and 40°. The difference between the two angles x and y is 30°. Find x and y. 
Solution. It is given that x, y and 40° are the angles of a triangle.
We know that the sum of all the angles of a
triangle is 180°
⇒ x + y + 40 = 180
⇒ x + y = 140 …(i)
Also, it is given that the di􀇖erence of angles x and y is
x – y = 30 …(ii)
Adding eq. (i) and (ii), we get
(x + y ) + (x – y) = 140 + 30
⇒ 2x = 170
⇒ x = 85
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
⇒ 85 + y = 140
⇒ y = 140 – 85
y = 55
Hence, the required values of x and y are 85° and 55° respectively.

Question. There are some students in 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. Find the number of students in the two halls.
Solution. Let the number of students in hall A and B be x and y respectively.
By the given condition, to make the number of students equal in each hall, 10 students are sent from A to B
⇒ x – 10 = y + 10
⇒ x – y = 20 …(i)
Also, it is given that if 20 students are sent from B to A, the number of students in A becomes double the number of students in A
⇒ (x + 20) = 2(y – 20)
x – 2y = –60 …(ii)
Subtracting eq. (ii) from eq. (i), we get
(x – y) – (x –2y) = 20 – (–60)
⇒ y = 20
Putting the value of y in eq. (i), we get
x – 80 = 20
⇒ x = 100
Hence, 100 students are in hall A and 80 students are in hall B.

Question. In a competitive examination, one mark is awarded for each correct answer, while 1/2 mark is deducted for every wrong answer. Rahul answered 120 questions and got 90 marks. How many questions did he answer correctly?
Solution. Let x be the number of correct answers,
then, marks awarded for correct answer = x ×1 = x
Total no. of Questions attempted = 120
Number of wrong answers = (120 – x)
Marks deducted for wrong answers
= (120 – x) × 1/2 = x 120 – x/2
Total marks awarded to Rahul = 80
⇒ x – (120 – x/ 2) = 90
⇒ x + x/2 – 6 = 90
+ – 60 = 90
⇒ 3x/2 = 150
⇒ x = 150×2/3
⇒ x = 100
Hence, Rahul answered 100 questions correctly.

Question. Determine graphically the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle, the equations of whose sides are given by 2y – x = 8, 5y – x = 14 and y – 2x = 1.

Question. A part of monthly hostel charges in a college hostel are fixed and the remaining depends on the number of days one has their meals in the mess. When a student A takes food for 25 days, he has to pay ₹ 4,500, whereas a student B who takes food for 30 days has to pay ₹  5,200. Find the fixed charges per month and the cost of food per day.   
Solution. Let, the fixed charge per student = ₹  x
Cost of food per day per student = ₹ y
According to the given condition,
x + 25y = 4500 …(i)
x + 30y = 5200 …(ii)
In subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get

Question. Solve the following system of equations:
21/x + 47/y  = 110
47/x  + 21/x  = 162, x, y ≠ 0
Sulution. Let 1/x = a and 1/y = b
⇒ 21a + 47b = 110 and 47a + 21b = 162
Adding and subtracting the two equations, we get
a + b = 4 and a − b = 2
Solving the above two equations, we get
a = 3 and b = 1
∴ x = 1/3 and y = 1

Question. The sum of reciprocals of a child’s age (in years) 3 years ago and 5 years from now is 1/ 3 . Find his present age.   
Sulution. Let the present age of the child (in years) be x. Then,

⇒ 3(2x + 2) = (x – 3)(x + 5)
⇒ 6x + 6 = x2 + 2x – 15
⇒ x2 – 4x – 21 = 0
⇒ (x – 7)(x + 3) = 0
⇒ x – 7 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
⇒ x = 7 or x = –3
(x = –3 is a not possible) Thus, her present age is 7 years.

Question. A computer animation below shows a cat moving in a straight line. Its height, h metres, above the ground, is given by 8s – 3h = – 9, where s is the time in seconds after it starts moving. In the same animation, a mouse starts to move at the same time as the cat and its movement is
given by -3s + h = 1.   

(A) Draw the graph of the two e􀆊uations on the same sheet of graph paper;
(B) Will the mouse be able to catch the cat?
(C) If yes, after how much time and at what height?
Sulution. (A) –3s + h = 1
3s – 3h = –9

(B) Yes, if find the several values of the variables s and h for cat as well as mouse, then the same values of s and h show their intersection point. It mean that the cat will definitely catch the mouse.
(C) As mentioned in above statement, the intersection point defines their time and height. Hence, after 6 seconds at a height of 1􀇬 m, the cat will catch the mouse.
After 6 seconds at a height of 19 m.

Question. Find the solution of the pair of equations :   
3/x + 8/y = -1 ; 1/x – 2/y = 2 , x , y ≠ 0
Ans. Given, pair of equation is—

⇒ 3/x = – 1 + 4
⇒ x = 1
Hence, the value of x and y are 1 and – 2 respectively.

Question. A father’s age is three times the sum of the ages of his children. After 5 years, his age will be two times the sum of their ages. Find the present age of the father. 
Sulution. Let the sum of the ages of two children be x years and father’s age be ‘y’ years. According to the given condition:
y = 3x
or y – 3x = 0 …(i)
After 5 years:
Father’s age = (y + 5) years
Sum of the ages of children = (x + 5 + 5) years.
Then, y + 5 = 2(x + 10)
or y – 2x – 15 = 0 …(ii)
on subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get:   

If we put the value of x in equation (i), we get
y – 3 × 15 = 0
⇒ y = 45
Hence, the present age of the father is 45 years.

Question. Ratio between the girls and boys in a class of 40 students is 2 : 3. Five new students joined the class. How many of them must be boys so that the ratio between girls and boys becomes 4 : 5?
Sulution. Let number of girls = 2x
and number of boys = 3x
Total students, 2x + 3x = 40
x = 8
So, number of girls = 2 × 8 = 16
and number of boys = 3 × 8 = 24
Let out of 5 students, y denotes number of boys.
then, number of girls = 5 – y
According to question,
16 + 5 – y/ 24 + y = 4/ 5
5 (21 – y) = 4(24 + y)
105 – 5y = 96 + 4y
9y = 105 – 96
9y = 9
y = 1
So, there must be one boy among five new students.

Question. Sumit is 3 times as old as his son. Five years later, he shall be two and a half times as old as his son. How old is Sumit at present ?   60
Sulution. Let the present age of Sumit’s son be ‘x’ years and the present age of Sumit be ‘y’ years. According to the given conditions:
y = 3x
or – 3x + y = 0 …(i)
Five years later:
Sumit’s son’s age = (x + 5) years
Sumit’s age = (y + 5) years
∴ (y + 5) = 2, 1/ 2 ( x + 5 )
⇒ 2(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)
⇒ 2y + 10 = 5x + 25
⇒ – 5x + 2y = 15 …(ii)
If we multiply equation (i) by 2 and subtract the equation (ii) from (i), we get   

or x = 15
If we put the value of x in equation (i), we get    
– 3 × 15 + y = 0
⇒ y = 45
Hence, Sumit’s present age is 45 years and Sumit’s son’s present age is 15 years.

Question. A two digit number is 4 times the sum of the digits. It is also equal to 3 times the product of the digits. Find the number. 
Sulution. Let the digit at unit’s place be x and at ten’s place be ‘y’.
Then, the number is 10y + x
According to the question,
(10y + x) = 4(x + y)
⇒ 10y + x = 4x + 4y
⇒ 6y – 3x = 0
⇒ – x + 2y = 0
⇒ x = 2y …(i)
and 10y + x = 3xy
∴ 10y + 2y = 3 × 2y × xy 
⇒ 12y = 6y²
⇒ y = 2
∴ x = 4
Hence, the number is 24.

Question. A and B each has a certain number of mangoes. A says to B, 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?
Sulution. Let number of mangoes with A be x.
Number of mangoes with B be y.
According to the question,
x + 30 = 2 (y – 30)
x + 30 = 2y – 60
x – 2y = –90 …(i)
and y + 10 = 3(x – 10)
y + 10 = 3x – 30
3x – y = 40 …(ii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 2 and subtracting
from equation (i), we get
–5x = –170
x = 34
Putting x = 34 in equation (i), we get
34 – 2y = –90
– 2y = –90 – 34
– 2y = –124
y = 62
So, number of mangoes with A are 34 and number of mangoes with B are 62.

Question. A man wished to give ` 12 to each person and found that he fell short of ₹ 6 when he wanted to give to all the persons present. He, therefore, distributed ₹ 9 to each person and found that ` 9 were left over. How much money did he have and how many persons were there? 
Sulution. Let, number of persons = x
Money share per person = y
Therefore, total money = ₹ xy
According to the question,
12 × x = xy + 6
12x – 6 = xy …(i)
and 9x = xy – 9
9x + 9 = xy …(ii)
Equating (i) and (ii), we get
12x – 6 = 9x + 9
3x = 15
Put the value of x in equation (i). Then
12 × 5 – 6 = x × y
⇒ xy = 54
So, he have ₹ 54 and there were 5 persons.

Question. It can take 12 hours to fill a swimming pool using two pipes. If the pipe of larger diameter is used for four hours and the pipe of smaller diameter for 9 hours, only half of the pool can be filled. How long would it take for each pipe to fill the pool separately ?   
Sulution. Let two pipes A and B of diameter d₁ and d₂
(d₁ > d₂) take x and y hours to fill the pool,

Thus, the pipe with diameter d1 takes 20 hours and the pipe with diamer d2 takes 30 hours to fill the pool alone.

Question. Draw the graphs of the equations x = 3, x = 5 and 2x – y – 4 = 0. also, find the areaof the quadrilateral formed by the lines and  the x-axis.   65
Sulution. The given equation of the lines are
x = 3 x = 5 and 2x – y – 4 = 0
For line,
2x – y – 4 = 0
⇒ y = 2x – 4
If x = 0, y = –4
If x = 2, y = 0
If x = 4, y = 4

Plotting x = 3 and x = 5 and 2x – y– 4 = 0, we obtain three lines I, II and III respectively, forming a quadrilateral ABCD with the X-axis as shown below:

From the graph, we get,
AB = OB – OA = 5 – 3 = 2
AD = 2
BC = 6
We know that the quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezium.
Area of Quadrilateral ABCD 
= 1/2  × (distance between parallel lines)
× (sum of parallel sides)
= 1/2 × (AB) × (AD + BC)
= 1/2 × 2 × (2 + 6)
= 8 sq. units
Hence, the area of the required quadrilateral is 8 square units.

Question. Two water taps together can fill a tank in 17 8 hours. The tap with a larger diameter takes 2 hours less than the tap with the smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each tap can fill the tank. 
Sulution. Let the smaller tap fills the tank in x hrs.
∴ The larger tap fills the tank in (x – 2) hrs.
Time taken by both the taps together:
= 15/ 8 hrs.
Now, work done by the smaller tap in an hour:
= 1/ x
Work done by the larger tap in an hour:
= 1/ x − 2

Hence, the smaller tap will fill the tank in 5 hours.
The larger tap will fill the tank in (5 – 2) = 3 hours.

Question. Ankita travels 14 km to her home partly by rickshaw and partly by bus. She takes half an hour if she travels 2 km by rickshaw and the remaining distance by bus. On the other hand, if she travels 4 km by rickshaw and the remaining distance by bus, she takes 9 minutes longer. Find the speed of the rickshaw and of the bus.
Sulution. Let the speed of the rickshaw and the bus be x km/hr and y km/hr, respectively.
We know that
speed =  distance/time
and time = distance / speed
Case I:
Time taken by Ankita to travel 2 km by rickshaw,
t₁ = 2/x hr
Remaining distance = 14 – 2 = 12 km
Time taken by Ankita to travel remaining distance, i.e., 12 km by bus,
t₂ = 12/Y hr
It is given that:
Total time taken by rickshaw and bus = 1/2 hr
⇒ t₁ + t2 = 1/2
⇒ 2/c + 12/y = 2 1 …(i)
Case II: 66

Question. A motorboat can travel 30 km upstream and 28 km downstream in 7 hrs. It can travel 21 km upstream and return in 5 hrs. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speedof the stream.  
Sulution.Let, the speed of the boat in still water = x km/hr
the speed of the stream = y km/hr
∴ the speed of the motorboat upstream = (x – y) km/hr
And the speed of the motorboat downstream
= (x + y) km/hr
Case I:   

Question. A shopkeeper sells a saree at a profit of 8% and a sweater at a discount of 10%, thereby getting a sum ₹ 1008. If she had sold the saree at a profit of 10% and the sweater at a discount of 8%, she would have got ₹ 1028. Find the cost of the saree and the list price (price before discount) of the sweater. 
Sulution. Let the cost price of a saree = ₹ x
and the list price of sweater = ₹ y
Case I:
(S. P. of saree at 8% profit) + (S.P. of a sweater at 10% discount) = ₹1008
⇒ (100 + 8) % of x + (100 – 10) % of y = 1008
⇒ 108x +  90/ 100 = 1008
⇒ 108x + 90y = 100800
⇒ 6x + 5y = 5600
Multiplying above eq. by 46, we get
⇒ 276x + 230y = 257600 …(i)
Case II:
(S.P. of saree at 10% profit) + (S.P. of a sweater at 8% discount) = ₹1028
⇒ (100 + 10%) of x + (100–8%) of y = 1028
⇒ 110% of x + 92% of y = 1028
⇒ 110x + 92y = 102800
⇒ 55x + 46y = 51400
Multiplying above eq. by 5, we get
⇒ 275x + 230y = 257000 …(ii)
Subtracting eq. (ii) from eq. (i), we get
⇒ (276x + 230y) – (275x + 230y)
= 257600 – 257000
x = 600
Putting the value of x in the above equation,
we get
6x + 5y = 5600
⇒ 6(600) + 5y = 5600
⇒ 5y = 5600 – 3600
⇒ y = 5
2000
⇒ y = 400
Hence, the cost price of the saree and the list price (price before discount) of the sweater are ₹ 600 and ₹ 400, respectively.

Question. Determine, algebraically, the vertices of the triangle formed by the lines
3x – y = 3,
2x – 3y = 2 and
x – 2y = 8 
Sulution. The given equation of lines are:
3x – y = 3 …(i)
2x –3y = 2 …(ii)
x + 2y = 8 …(iii)
Let lines (i), (ii) and (iii) represent the side of a ΔABC i.e., AB, BC and CA respectively.
On solving lines (i) and (ii), we will get the intersection point B.
Multiplying eq. (i) by 3 and then subtracting eq.
(ii), we get
⇒ (9x – 3y) – (2x – 3y) = 9 – 2
⇒ 7x = 7
⇒ x = 1
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
⇒ 3 × 1 – y = 3
⇒ y = 0
Hence, the coordinate of point or vertex B is (1, 0).
On solving lines (ii) and (iii), we will get the intersection point C.
Multiplying eq. (iii) by 2 and then subtracting
eq. (ii), we get
(2x + 4y) – (2x – 3y) = 16 – 2
⇒ 7y = 14
⇒ y = 2
Putting the value of y in eq. (iii), we get
⇒ x + 2(2) = 8
⇒ x = 4
Hence, the coordinate of point or vertex C is (4, 2).
On solving lines (iii) and (i), we will get the intersecting point A.
Multiplying eq. (i) by 2 and then adding eq. (iii), we get
(6x – 2y) + (x + 2y) = 6 + 8
⇒ 7x = 14
⇒ x = 2
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
⇒ 3 × 2 – y = 3
⇒ y = 3
Hence, the coordinate of point or vertex A is (2, 3).
Hence, the vertices of the ΔABC formed by the given lines are A (2, 3), B(1, 0) and C (4, 2).

Question. Ruhi invested a certain amount of money in two schemes A and B, which offer interest atthe 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 received2 more as annual interest. How much money did she invest in each scheme?    69
Ans. Let the money invested in scheme A = ₹ x
and the money invested in scheme B = ₹ y
Case I:
Ruhi invested ₹ x at 8% p.a. + Ruhi invested ₹ y at 9% p.a. and received ₹1860 as annual interest.
We know that simple interest,

Case II:
Ruhi invested ₹ y at 8% p.a. + Ruhi invested
₹ x at 9% p.a. and received ₹ (1860 + 20) as annual interest.
Interest earned when ₹ y invested at 8 % per annum on scheme A,   

Question. Rahul 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.
Sulution. Let the number of bananas in lot A = x
and the number of bananas in lot B = y
Case I:
Sold the first lot at the rate of ₹ 2 for 3 bananas + Sold the second lot at the rate of ₹ 1 per banana = Amount received
S.P. of 3 bananas of lot A = ₹ 2
⇒ S.P. of 1 banana of lot A = ₹ 2/3
⇒ S.P. of x bananas of lot A = ₹ 2x /3
S.P. of 1 banana of lot B = ₹ 1
⇒ S.P. of y bananas of lot B = ₹ y
As per given condition
2x/3 + y = 400
2x + 3y = 1200
Case II:
Sold the first lot at the rate of ₹ 1 per banana
+ Sold the second lot at the rate of ₹ 4 for 5
bananas = Amount received
S.P. of 1 banana of lot A = ₹ 1
⇒ S.P. of x bananas of lot A = ₹ x     

Question. The angles of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are ∠A = (6x + 10)°, ∠B = (5x)°, ∠C = (x + y)° and ∠D = (3y – 10)°.
Find x and y and hence the values of the four angles. 
Sulution. It is given that,
∠A = (6x + 10°)
∠B = (5x)°
∠C = (x + y)° and
∠D = (3y – 10)°.
We know that by property of cyclic quadrilateral:
Sum of opposite angles = 180°
∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ (6x + 10) + (x + y) = 180°
⇒ 6x + 10 + x + y = 180°
⇒ 7x + y = 170° …(i)
Also, ∠B + ∠D = 180°
⇒ 5x + (3y – 10) = 180°
⇒ 5x + 3y = 180° + 10°     

Hence, the required values of x and y are 20° and 30° respectively, and the values of the four angles i.e., ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D are 130°, 100°, 50°, and 80° respectively.
