Q5: 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.

Answer:

Let $ l$ be the length of the rectangular garden and $b$ be the width.

Now, according to the question, the length is 4 m more than its width, so we can write it as $l=b+4$

Or, $l-b=4....(1)$

Also given Half Parameter of the rectangle = 36 it means $l+b=36....(2)$

Now, as we have two equations, add both equations, and we get,

$l+b+l-b=4+36$

$\Rightarrow 2l=40$

$\Rightarrow l=20$

We get the value of $l$, which is 20m

Now, putting this in equation (1), we get;

$\Rightarrow 20-b=4$

$\Rightarrow b=20-4$

$\Rightarrow b=16$

Hence, the Length and width of the rectangle are 20m and 16m, respectively.

Q6 (i): Given the linear equation $2x + 3y -8 =0$, write another linear equation in two variables such that the geometrical representation of the pair so formed is: intersecting lines

Answer:

Given the equation,

$2x + 3y -8 =0$

We know that the condition for the intersection of lines for the equations in the form $ a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0$ and $ a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0$ is,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}\neq\frac{b_1}{b_2}$

So any line with this condition can be $4x+3y-16=0$

Proof,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{3}{3}=1$

Hence, $\frac{1}{2}\neq1$ it means $\frac{a_1}{a_2}\neq\frac{b_1}{b_2}$

Therefore, the pair of lines has a unique solution, thus forming intersecting lines.

Q6 (ii): Given the linear equation $2x + 3y -8 =0$ , write another linear equation in two variables such that the geometrical representation of the pair so formed is parallel lines

Answer:

Given the equation,

$2x + 3y -8 =0$

As we know, the condition for the parallel lines for the equations in the form $ a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0$ and $ a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0$ is,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq\frac{c_1}{c_2}$

So any line with this condition can be $4x+6y-8=0$

Proof,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-8}{-8}=1$

Hence, $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\neq1$ it means $\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq\frac{c_1}{c_2}$

Therefore, the pair of lines has no solutions; thus, the lines are parallel.

Q6 (iii): Given the linear equation $2x + 3y -8 =0$, write another linear equation in two variables such that the geometrical representation of the pair so formed is: coincident lines

Answer:

Given the equation,

$2x + 3y -8 =0$

As we know, the condition for the coincidence of the lines for the equations in the form $ a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0$ and $ a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0$ is,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}$

So any line with this condition can be $4x+6y-16=0$

Proof,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-8}{-16}=\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$ it means $\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}$

Therefore, the pair of lines has infinitely many solutions; thus, the lines are coincident.

Now, from (1), we have

$s=t+3$........(3)

Substituting this in (2), we get

$\frac{t+3}{3}+\frac{t}{2}=6$

$\Rightarrow 2t+6+3t=36$

$\Rightarrow 5t+6=36$

$\Rightarrow 5t=30$

$\Rightarrow t=6$

Substituting this value of t in (3)

$\Rightarrow s=t+3=6+3=9$

Hence, the solution of the given equations is s = 9 and t = 6.

Now, from (1), we have

$y=3x−3$........(3)

Substituting this in (2), we get

$9x−3(3x−3)=9$

$\Rightarrow 9x−9x+9=9$

$\Rightarrow 9=9$

$0.4x+0.5y=2.3$

Now, from (1), we have

$y=\frac{1.3−0.2x}{0.3}$........(3)

Substituting this in (2), we get

$0.4x+0.5\frac{1.3−0.2x}{0.3}=2.3$

$\Rightarrow 0.12x+0.65−0.1x=0.69$

$\Rightarrow 0.02x=0.69−0.65=0.04$

$\Rightarrow x=2$

Substituting this value of x in (3)

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{1.3−0.2x}{0.3} =\frac{1.3−0.2 × 2}{0.3} =3$

Hence, the solution of the given equations is

x = 2 and y = 3.

Answer:

Given two equations,

$\sqrt 2x+ \sqrt 3y=0$

$\sqrt 3x−\sqrt 8y=0$

Now, from (1), we have

$x=\frac{−\sqrt 3y}{\sqrt 2}$........(3)

Substituting this in (2), we get

$\sqrt 3 (\frac{−\sqrt 3y}{\sqrt 2}) - \sqrt 8y=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{−\sqrt 3y}{\sqrt 2} - 2\sqrt 2y = 0$

$\Rightarrow y(\frac{−\sqrt 3}{\sqrt 2} - 2\sqrt 2) = 0$

$\Rightarrow y=0$

Answer:

Given,

$\frac{3x}{2}−\frac{5y}{3} =−2$ ....... (1)

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=\frac{13}{6}$ ........ (2)

From (1) we have,

$x=\frac{(-12 + 10y)}{9}$........(3)

Putting this in (2), we get,

$\frac{\frac{(-12 + 10y)}{9}}{3}+ \frac{y}{2} = \frac{13}{6}$

$\frac{(-12 + 10y)}{27}+ \frac{y}{2} = \frac{13}{6}$

$\frac{(-24 + 20y + 27y)}{54} = \frac{13}{6}$

$47y=141$

$y=3$

Putting this value in (3), we get,

$x=\frac{(-12 + 10× 3)}{9}$

$x =2$

Hence, x = 2 and y = 3.

Q2: Solve 2x + 3y = 11 and 2x − 4y = −24 and hence find the value of ‘m’ for which y = mx + 3.

Answer:

$2x−4y=−24$.......(2)

Now, from (1), we have

$y=\frac{11−2x}{3}$........(3)

Substituting this in (2), we get

$2x−4(\frac{11−2x}{3})=−24$

$\Rightarrow 6x−44+8x=−72$

$\Rightarrow 14x=44−72$

$\Rightarrow 14x=−28$

$\Rightarrow x=−2$

Substituting this value of x in (3)

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{11−2x}{3}=\frac{11−2×(−2)}{3}=\frac{15}{3}=5$

Hence, the solution of the given equations is,

x = −2, and y = 5.

Now,

As it satisfies $y=mx+3$,

$\Rightarrow 5=m(−2)+3$

$\Rightarrow 2m=3−5$

$\Rightarrow 2m=−2$

$\Rightarrow m=−1$

Hence, the value of m is -1.

Now, from (2) we have,

$y=x−18°$.......(3)

Substituting this value in (1)

$x+x−18°=180°$

$\Rightarrow 2x=180°+18°$

$\Rightarrow 2x=198°$

$\Rightarrow x=99°$

Now, substituting this value of x in (3), we get

$\Rightarrow y=x−18°=99°−18°=81°$

Hence, the two supplementary angles are

(iii) The coach of a cricket team buys 7 bats and 6 balls for Rs 3800. Later, she buys 3 bats and 5 balls for Rs 1750. Find the cost of each bat and each ball.

Answer:

Let the cost of 1 bat is x and the cost of 1 ball is y.

Now, according to the question,

$7x+6y=3800$......(1)

$3x+5y=1750$......(2)

Now, from (1) we have

$y=\frac{(3800−7x)}{6}$........(3)

Substituting this value of y in (2)

$3x+5\frac{(3800−7x)}{6}=1750$

$\Rightarrow 18x+19000−35x=1750×6$

$\Rightarrow −17x=10500−19000$

$\Rightarrow −17x=−8500$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{8500}{17}$

$\Rightarrow x=500$

Now, Substituting this value of x in (3)

$y=\frac{(3800−7x)}{6}$

$y =\frac{3800−7×500}{6}$

$y =\frac{3800−3500}{6}=50$

Hence, the cost of one bat is 500 Rs and the cost of one ball is 50 Rs.

(iv) The taxi charges in a city consist of a fixed charge together with the charge for the distance covered. For a distance of 10 km, the charge paid is Rs 105, and for a journey of 15 km, the charge paid is Rs 155. What are the fixed charges and the charge per km? How much does a person have to pay for travelling a distance of 25 km?

Answer:

Let the fixed charge be x and the per km charge be y.

Now, according to the question

$x+10y=105$.......(1)

And,

$x+15y=155$.......(2)

Now, from (1) we have,

$x=105−10y$........(3)

Substituting this value of x in (2), we have

$105−10y+15y=155$

$\Rightarrow 5y=155−105$

$\Rightarrow 5y=50$

$\Rightarrow y=10$

Now, substituting this value in (3)

$x=105−10y$

$=105−10(10)$

$=105−100=5$

Hence, the fixed charge is 5 Rs and the per km charge is 10 Rs.

Now, Fair for 25 km :

$\Rightarrow x+25y=5+25(10) $

$=5+250=255$

Hence, the fare for 25 km is 255 Rs.

Q3:.Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by the substitution method.
(v) A fraction becomes $\frac9{11}$, if 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator. If 3 is added to both the numerator and the denominator, it becomes 56. Find the fraction.

Answer:

Let the numerator of the fraction be x, and the denominator of the fraction be y

Now, according to the question,

$\frac{x+2}{y+2}=\frac{9}{11}$

$\Rightarrow 11(x+2)=9(y+2)$

$\Rightarrow 11x+22=9y+18$

$\Rightarrow 11x−9y=−4$.........(1)

Also,

$\frac{x+3}{y+3}=\frac{5}{6}$

$\Rightarrow 6(x+3)=5(y+3)$

$\Rightarrow 6x+18=5y+15$

$\Rightarrow 6x−5y=−3$...........(2)

Now, from (1) we have

$y=\frac{11x+4}{9}$.............(3)

Substituting this value of y in (2)

$6x−5(\frac{11x+4}{9})=−3$

$\Rightarrow 54x−55x−20=−27$

$\Rightarrow −x=20−27$

$\Rightarrow x=7$

Substituting this value of x in (3)

$y={11x+4}{9}$

$=\frac{11(7)+4}{9}=\frac{81}{9}=9$

Hence, the required fraction is

$x =\frac{7}{9}$

Q3: Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by the substitution method.

Answer:

Let x be the age of Jacob and y be the age of Jacob's son.

Now, according to the question

$x+5=3(y+5)$

$\Rightarrow x+5=3y+15$

$\Rightarrow x−3y=10$........(1)

Also,

$x−5=7(y−5)$

$\Rightarrow x−5=7y−35$

$\Rightarrow x−7y=−30$.........(2)

Now,

From (1) we have,

$x=10+3y$...........(3)

Substituting this value of x in (2)

$10+3y−7y=−30$

$\Rightarrow −4y=−30−10$

$\Rightarrow 4y=40$

$\Rightarrow y=10$

Substituting this value of y in (3),

$x=10+3y=10+3(10)=10+30=40$

Hence, the present age of Jacob is 40 years, and the present age of Jacob's son is 10 years.

Putting this value in (1).

$x+15=25$

$\Rightarrow x=10$

Hence, Meena received 10, 50 Rs notes and 15, 100 Rs notes.

Q2(v): Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions (if they exist) by the elimination method : (v) A lending library has a fixed charge for the first three days and an additional charge for each day thereafter. Saritha paid Rs 27 for a book kept for seven days, while Susy paid Rs 21 for the book she kept for five days. Find the fixed charge and the charge for each extra day.

Answer:

Let the fixed charge be x, and per day charge is y.

Now, according to the question,

$x+4y=27...........(1)$

And

$x+2y=21...........(2)$

Now, Subtracting (2) from (1). We get,

$4y-2y=27-21$

$\Rightarrow 2y=6$

$\Rightarrow y=3$

Putting this in (1)

$x+4(3)=27$

$\Rightarrow x=27-12=15$

Hence, the fixed charge is 15 Rs and the per-day charge is 3 Rs.
