Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables Class 10 Chapter 3 Exercise: 3.2

Q1 Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions graphically.

(i) 10 students of Class X took part in a Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and girls who took part in the quiz.

Answer:

Let the number of boys is x and the number of girls is y.

Now, According to the question,

Total number of students in the class = 10, i.e.

\Rightarrow x+y=10.....(1)

And

the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys,i.e.

x=y+4

\Rightarrow x-y=4..........(2)

Different points (x, y) for equation (1)

As we can see from the graph, both lines intersect at the point (7,3). that is x= 7 and y = 3 which means the number of boys in the class is 7 and the number of girls in the class is 3.

Q1 Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions graphically.

(ii) 5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs 50, whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs 46. Find the cost of one pencil and that of one pen.

Answer:

Let x be the price of 1 pencil and y be the price of 1 pen,

Now, According to the question

5x+7y=50......(1)

And

7x+5y=46......(2)

Now, the points (x,y), that satisfies the equation (1) are

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 lbe 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.i.e.

l=b+4

l-b=4....(1)

Also Given Half Parameter of the rectangle = 36 i.e.

l+b=36....(2)

Now, as we have two equations, on adding both equations, we get,

l+b+l-b=4+36

\Rightarrow 2l=40

\Rightarrow l=20

Putting this in equation (1),

\Rightarrow 20-b=4

\Rightarrow b=20-4

\Rightarrow b=16

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

Q6 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: (i) intersecting lines

Answer:

Given the equation,

2x + 3y -8 =0

As we know that the condition for the intersection of lines 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

Here,

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

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

As

\frac{1}{2}\neq1 the line satisfies the given condition.

Q6 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 (ii) parallel lines

Answer:

Given the equation,

2x + 3y -8 =0

As we know that the condition for the lines a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0\:and\:a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0 , for being parallel 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

Here,

\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

As

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\neq1 the line satisfies the given condition.

2x + 3y -8 =0

As we know that the condition for the coincidence of the lines 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

Here,

\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}

As

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2} the line satisfies the given condition.

More About NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Exercise 3.2

The emphasis of NCERT solutions for Class 10 Maths exercise 3.2 was on graphical representations of linear equations in two variables, types of solutions, and associated graphs. Two systems of equations can be parallel at times. They have no solution in such situations. In rare situations, the two systems of equations may coincide, resulting in an infinite number of solutions for the given system. If the two systems of equations overlap, the given system is said to be consistent because it has a unique solution. NCERT solutions for Class 10 Maths exercise 3.2 was on the graphical depiction of the system of equations.

Hello Aspirant,  Hope your doing great,  your question was incomplete and regarding  what exam your asking.

Yes, scoring above 80% in ICSE Class 10 exams typically meets the requirements to get into the Commerce stream in Class 11th under the CBSE board . Admission criteria can vary between schools, so it is advisable to check the specific requirements of the intended CBSE school. Generally, a good academic record with a score above 80% in ICSE 10th result is considered strong for such transitions.

hello Zaid,

Yes, you can apply for 12th grade as a private candidate .You will need to follow the registration process and fulfill the eligibility criteria set by CBSE for private candidates.If you haven't given the 11th grade exam ,you would be able to appear for the 12th exam directly without having passed 11th grade. you will need to give certain tests in the school you are getting addmission to prove your eligibilty.

best of luck!

According to cbse norms candidates who have completed class 10th, class 11th, have a gap year or have failed class 12th can appear for admission in 12th class.for admission in cbse board you need to clear your 11th class first and you must have studied from CBSE board or any other recognized and equivalent board/school.

You are not eligible for cbse board but you can still do 12th from nios which allow candidates to take admission in 12th class as a private student without completing 11th.
