Linear Equations in Two Variables

Practice Set 5.1

(1) By using variables x and y form any five linear equations in two variables

Solution:

x + y =6, 3x + 4y = 11, 11x – 16y = 27, 6x + 21y = 47, 2x – 3y = 6.

(2) Write five solutions of the equation x + y = 7.

Solution:

Fine solutions of x + 7 = 7 are:

(0, 7), (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3)

(3) Solve the following sets of simultaneous equations.

(i) x + y = 4, 2x – 5y = 1

Ans:

x + y = 4

=) x = 4 – y

∴ 2x – 5y = 1

=) 2 (4 – y) – 5y = 1

=) 8 – 2y – 5y = 1

=) 7y = 7

=) y = 1

∴ x = 4 – 1 = 3

(x, y) = (3, 1)

 

(ii) 2x + y = 5; 3x – y = 5

Ans:

2x + y = 5 —– (i)

3x – y = 5 —— (ii)

(i) + (ii) = 5x = 10

= x = 2

(i) = 2 × 2 + y = 5

=) y = 1

(x, y) = (2, 1)

 

(iii) 3x – 5y = 16, x – 3y = 8

Ans:

x – 3y = 8

=) x = 8 + 3y

∴ 3x – 5y = 16

=) 3 (8 + 3y) – 5y = 16

=) 24 + 9y – 5y = 16

= 4y = – 8

=) y = – 2

∴ x = 8 + 3 (-2)

= 8 – 6 = 2

(x, y) = (2, – 2)

 

(iv) 2y – x = 0, 10x + 15y = 105

Ans:

2y – x = 0

=) x = 2y

∴ 10x + 15y = 105

=) 10 × 2y + 15y = 105

= 35y = 105

=) y = 3

∴ x = 2×3 = 6

∴ (x, y) = (6, 3)

 

(v) 2x + 3y + 4 = 0, x – 5y = 11

Ans:

x – 5y = 11

=) x = 11 + 5y

∴ 2x + 3y + 4 = 0

=) 2 (11 + 5y) + 3y + 4 = 0

=) 22 + 10y + 3y + 4 = 0

=) 13y + 26 = 0

=) y = -2

∴ x = 11 + 5 (-2) = 1

(x, y) = (1, -2)

 

(vi) 2x – 7y = 7; 3x + y = 22

Ans:

3x + y = 22

= y = 22 – 3x

∴ 2x – 7y = 7

= 2x – 7 (22 – 3x) = 7

= 23x – 154 = 7

= x = 161/23 = 7

∴ y = 22 – 3 × 7 = 1

(x, y) = (7, 1)

(4) The population of a certain town was 50,000. In a year, male population was increased by 5% and female population was increased by 3%. Now the population became 52020. Then what was the number of males and females in the previous year?

Solution:

Let, x be number of male & y be number of females in previous year.

No. x + y = 50,000 —- (1)

And

(1 + 5/100) x + (1 + 3/100) y = 52020

= 105x + 103y = 5202000 —– (ii)

Multiplying (i) by 103,

103x + 103y = 5150000 —– (iii)

(iii) – (ii) = -2x = -52000

= x = 26000

∴ (i) = y = 50000 – 26000

= 24000

∴ Number of males = 26000

Number of females = 24000

Activity (I):

Ans:

Sum of length & breadth is 36.

x + y = 36 —— (i)

My breadth is 5/7 times of the length

y = 5/7 x = 5x – 7y = 0 —– (ii)

If the breadth is subtracted from twice the length, the answer is 27.

2x – y = 27 —- (iii)

The difference between my length and breadth is 6 units

x – y = 6 —– (iv)

(a) Taking pairs (i) and (ii)

7 × (i) + (ii) = 7x + 5x = 252

=) x = 21

y = 5/7 × 21 = 15

∴ (x, y) = (21, 15).

Similarly taking (i) & (iii), (i) & (iii), (ii) & (iii), (ii) & (iv), (iii) ——

We get x = 21 & y = 15

Solution of each pair is (21, 15)

6 pairs can be formed from the above equation.

We can conclude that length is 21 units and breadth is 15 units.

Practice Set 5.2

(1) In an envelope there are some 5 rupee notes and some 10 rupee notes. Total amount of these notes together is 350 rupees. Number of 5 rupee notes are less by 10 than number of 10 rupee notes. Then find the number of 5 rupee and 10 rupee notes.

Solution:

Let, x & y be number of 5 & 10 rupees notes.

5x + 10y = 350 —- (i)

(i) => 5y + 50 + 10y = 350

=> 15y = 300

=> y = 20

(ii) => x = 20 + 10 = 30

∴ Number of 50 rupees note = 30

Number of 10 rupees note = 20

 

(2) The denominator of a fraction is 1 less than twice its numerator. If 1 is added to numerator and denominator respectively, the ratio of numerator to denominator is 3:5. Find the fraction.

Ans:

Let, x be numerator & y be denominator.

y = 2x – 1 => 2x – y = 1 —– (i)

x+1/y+1 = 3/5

= 5x + 5 = 3y + 3

= 5x – 3y = -2 = 3y – 5x = 2 —- (ii)

(i) × 3 + (ii) = x = 5

(i) => y = 2 × 5 – 11

=> 5x + 5 = 3y + 3

=> 5x – 3y = – 2

=> 3y – 5x = 2 —- (ii)

(i) × 3 + (ii) => x = 5

(i) => y = 2 × 5 – 1 = 9

∴ The fraction is 5/9

 

(3) The sum of ages of Priyanka and Deepika is 34 years. Priyanka is elder to Deepika by 6 years. Then find their today’s ages.

Ans:

Let, x & y be Priyanka & Deepika age respectively.

According to Question, x + y = 34. —— (i)

x = y + 6 => x – y = 6 —– (ii)

(i) + (ii) => 2x = 40 => x = 20

(i) = y = 34 – 20 = 14

∴ Priyanka is 20 years old & Deepika is 14 years old.

 

(4) The total number of lions and peacocks in a certain zoo is 50. The total number of their legs is140. Then find the number of lions and peacocks in the zoo.

Ans:

Let, x & y be number of lions & peacocks respectively.

x + y = 50 —— (i)

4x + 2y = 140

=> 2x + y = 70 —- (ii)

(ii) – (i) = x = 20

(i) => y = 50 – 20 = 30

∴ Number of lines = 20

Number of peacocks = 30

 

(5) Sanjay gets fixed monthly income. Every year there is a certain increment in his salary. After 4 years, his monthly salary was Rs. 4500 and after 10 years his monthly salary became 5400 rupees, then find his original salary and yearly increment.  

Ans:

Let, x and y be the original salary & yearly increment respectively.

x + 4y = 4500 —– (i)

x + 10y = 5400 —– (ii)

(ii) – (i) => 6y = 900

=> y = 150

∴ (ii) => x = 5400 – 10y

= 5400 – 1500

= 3900

∴ His original salary is ₹3900 and yearly increment is ₹150.

 

(6) The price of 3 chairs and 2 tables is 4500 rupees and price of 5 chairs and 3 tables is 7000 rupees, then find the total price of 2 chairs and 2 tables.

Ans:

Let, price of a chair and table be x and y respectively

3 + 2y = 4500 —– (i)

5x + 3y = 7000 —- (ii)

2 × (ii) – 3 × (i) => 10x – 9x = 14000 – 13500

=> x = 500

(i) => 3 × 500 + 2y = 4500

=> 2y = 4500 – 1500 = 3000

=> y = 1500

∴ Price of 2 chair = 2 × 500 = ₹1000

Price of 2 tables = 2 × 1500 = ₹3000

∴ Total prices = ₹(3000 + 1000) = ₹4000

 

(7) The sum of the digits in a two-digits number is 9. The number obtained by interchanging the digits exceeds the original number by 27. Find the two-digit number.

Ans:

Let, x and y be the tens and units place digits of the two-digit member.

x + y = 9 —- (i)

10y + x = 10x + y + 27

=) 9 (x – y) = -27

=) y – x = 3 —– (ii)

(i) + (ii) => 2y = 12 => y = 6

(ii) => x = y – 3 = 6 – 3 = 3

∴ The two-digit number is 36.

 

(8) In ABC, the measure of angle A is equal to the sum of the measures of B and C. Also the ratio of measures of B and C is 4:5. Then find the measures of angles of the triangle.

Ans:

According to Question, ∠A = ∠B + ∠C —– (i)

∠B/∠C = 4/5 => 5∠B – 4∠C = 0 —- (ii)

We know, sum of ∠’s of a △ = 180°

= ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

From (i), ∠A + ∠A = 180° [∵ ∠A = ∠B + ∠C

=> ∠A = 90°

∴ ∠B + ∠C = 90°

=> 4/5 ∠C + ∠C = 90° [By (ii)]

=> 9/5 ∠C = 90° = ∠C = 50°

(ii) => ∠B = 4/5 ∠C = 4/5 × 50

= 40°

∴ ∠A = 90°, ∠B = 40°, ∠C = 50°

 

(9) Divide a rope of length 560 cm into 2 parts such that twice the length of the smaller part is equal to 1/3 of the larger part. Then find the length of the larger part.   

Ans:

Let, x be length of larger part & y be length of smaller part.

x + y = 560 —- (i)

2y = 1/3 x

=> y = 1/6 x

∴ Substituting value of y in (i),

x + 1/6 x = 560

=> 7x = 3360

=> x = 480

∴ Length of larger part is 480 cm

 

(10) In a competitive examination, there were 60 questions. The correct answer would carry 2 marks, and for incorrect answer 1 mark would be subtracted. Yashwant had attempted all the questions and he got total 90 marks. Then how many questions he got wrong?

Ans:

Let, x and y be the number of right and wrong questions. Yahswant got respectively.

According to Question, x + y = 60 —— (i)

2x + (-1) y = 90

=> 2x – y = 90 —- (ii)

(i) + (ii) = 3x = 150

=> x = 50

(i) => y = 60 – x = 60 – 50 = 10

∴ Yashwant got 10 questions wrong.

Ans:

Let, x and y be the speeds of the car at A & B respectively

According to Question, x – y = 70/7

=> x – y = 10 —– (i)

And x + y = 70/1 = x + y = 70 —– (ii)

(i) + (ii) = 2x = 80

= x = 40

(ii) => y = 70 – x = 70 – 40 = 30

∴ The speed of the cars are 40km/h & 30km/h.

 

(10) The sum of a two digit number and the number obtained by interchanging its digits is 99. Find the number.

Ans:

Let, x and y be the tens and units place digit of the number
