Exercise 10.3.1
1. 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.
(ii) 5 pencils and 7 pens together cost 50, whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost 46. Find the cost of one pencil and that of one pen
2. On comparing the ratios
(i) 5x – 4y + 8 = 0,7x + 6y – 9 = 0
(ii) 9x + 3y + 12 = 0,18x + 6y + 24 = 0
(iii) 6x – 3y + 10 = 0,2x – y + 9 = 0
3. On comparing the ratios
Hint: 1.The system of equations is consistent and independent (intersecting lines).
2.The system of equations is consistent and dependent (coincident lines).
3.The system of equations is inconsistent (parallel lines).
(i) 3x + 2y = 5 ; 2x – 3y = 7
(ii) 2x – 3y = 8 ; 4x – 6y = 9
(iii)
(iv) 5x – 3y = 11 ; – 10x + 6y = –22
(v)
4. Which of the following pairs of linear equations are consistent/inconsistent? If consistent, obtain the solution graphically.
(i) x + y = 5, 2x + 2y = 10
(ii) x – y = 8, 3x – 3y = 16
(iii) 2x + y – 6 = 0, 4x – 2y – 4 = 0
(iv) 2x – 2y – 2 = 0, 4x – 4y – 5 = 0
5. 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.
Let the width of the garden be x and length be y.
According to the question,
1.y - x = 4 (1) : y - x = 4 :y = x + 4
x | 0 | 8 | 12 |
---|---|---|---|
y | 4 | 12 | 16 |
2.y + x = 36 (2) : y + x = 36
x | 0 | 36 | 16 |
---|---|---|---|
y | 36 | 0 | 20 |
6. 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.
Given Equation:2x+3y-8=0
(i) intersecting lines
a1 =
Thus,It is x + y + 1 = 0.
(ii) parallel lines
a1 = 2, b =
Thus,It is 4x + 6y + 1 = 0.
(iii) coincident lines
a1 = 2, b =
Thus,It is 4x + 6y + 1 = 0.
7. Draw the graphs of the equations x – y + 1 = 0 and 3x + 2y – 12 = 0. Determine the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines and the x-axis, and shade the triangular region.
x - y + 1 = 0 : x = y - 1
x | 0 | 1 | 2 |
---|---|---|---|
y | 1 | 2 | 3 |
3x + 2y - 12 = 0 : x=
x | 4 | 2 | 0 |
---|---|---|---|
y | 0 | 3 | 6 |
