$= x$ years. and the present age of Aftab

$= y$ years,

$(y > x)$

According to the given conditions, we have
Seven years ago,

$(y-7)=7\times (x-7)$

$\Rightarrow y - 7 = 7x - 49$

$\Rightarrow 7x - y - 42 = 0$ ...(i)
Three years later,

$(y+ 3) = 3 \times (x + 3)$

$\Rightarrow y+ 3 = 3x + 9$

$\Rightarrow 3x- y + 6 = 0$ ...(ii)
Thus, the algebraic relations are

$7x - y - 42 = 0, 3x - y + 6 = 0$ .
Now, we represent the problem graphically as below:

$7x - y - 42 = 0$ ...(i)

$3x - y + 6 = 0$ ...(ii)
From the graph, we find that

$x = 12$
and

$y = 42$
Thus, the present age of Aftab's daugther

$= 12$ years and the present age of Aftab

$= 42$ years.

Explanation

For equation

$x – y + 1 = 0$ or

$x=y-1$ , we have following points which lie on the line

Plug

$y =0,1$ we get

$x=0-1=-1$

$x=1-1=0$

Therefore, the required points are

$(-1,0), (0,1)$ .

For equation

$3x + 2y – 12 = 0$ or

$y=\frac { 12-3x }{ 2 }$ , we have following points which lie on the line

Plug

$x= 0 ,4$ we get

$y=\frac { 12-0 }{ 2 }=6$

$y=\frac { 12-12 }{ 2 }=0$

Therefore, the required points are

$(0,6), (4,0)$ .

$8$ notes of Rs. $50$ and $25$ notes of Rs. $100.$
0%
$10$ notes of Rs. $50$ and $15$ notes of Rs. $100$ .

Explanation

Let

$x$ and

$y$ be the number of '

$50$ and '

$100$ notes.respectively.

Then,

$x +y=25$ ....(1)
and

$50x + 100y = 2000$ ...(2)
Now multiplying (1) from

$100$ and (2) from (1) subtracting (2) from (1) will get

$\Rightarrow 100\left ( x +y \right )-1\left ( 50x -100y \right ) = 100\times 25 -1\times 2000$

$\Rightarrow 100x+100y-50x-100y = 2500-2000$

$\Rightarrow 50x = 500$

$\Rightarrow x = 10$
Now putting

$x$ in (1)

$\Rightarrow 10+y = 25$

$\Rightarrow y = 25-10$

$\Rightarrow y = 15$
Hence Meena Received

$10$ notes of Rs.

$50$ and

$15$ notes of Rs.

$100$ .

Explanation

Let number of boys be

$x$ .

Number of girls be

$y$ .

Given that total number of student is

$10$ so that

$x + y= 10$

Subtract

$y$ both side we get

$x= 10 – y$

Plug

$y = 0 , 5, 10$ we get

$x= 10 – 0= 10$

$x= 10 – 5= 5$

$x= 10 – 10= 0$

Therefore, the required points are

$(0,10),(5,5),(10,0)$ .

Given that If the number of girls is

$4$ more than the number of boys

So that

$y= x + 4$

Plug

$x = -4, 0, 4$ , and we get

$y= - 4 + 4= 0$

$y= 0 + 4= 4$

$y= 4 + 4= 8$

Therefore, the required points are

$(-4,0),(0,4),(4,8)$ .

The graph is as shown above:

Since the point of intersection in the above graph is

$(3,7)$ ,

Hence, the number of boys are

$3$ and the number of girls are

$7$ .

Explanation

Let cost of pencil be Rs.

$x$

Cost of pens be Rs.

$y$

$5$ pencils and

$7$ pens together cost Rs.

$50$ ,

So we get

$5x + 7y = 50$

Subtract

$7y$ both side we get

$5x= 50 – 7 y$

Divide by

$5$ we get

$x=10-\frac { 7 }{ 5 }y$

Plug value of

$y$ which is factor of

$5$ to get whole number so plug

$y = 5 , 10, 15$ we get

for

$y=5$

$x=10-\frac { 7 }{ 5 }y=10-7=3$

for

$y=10$

$x=10-\frac { 7 }{ 5 }y=10-14=-4$

for

$y=15$

$x=10-\frac { 7 }{ 5 }y=10-21=-11$

Therefore, the required points are

$(3,5), (-4,10),(-11,15)$ .

Given that

$7$ pencils and

$5$ pens together cost Rs.

$46$

$7x + 5y= 46$

Subtract

$7x$ both side we get

$5y= 46 – 7x$

Divide by

$5$ we get

$y= 9.2 – 1.4 x$

Plug

$x= 0 , 2, 4$ we get

for

$x=0$

$y= 9.2 – 0 = 9.2$

for

$x=2$

$y= 9.2 – 2.8 = 6.4$

for

$x=4$

$y=9.2 – 5.6 = 3.6$

Therefore, the required points are

$(0,9.2), (2,6.4),(4,3.6)$ .

The graph is as shown below:

Since the point of intersection is

$(3,5)$ ,

Hence, the cost of one pencil is Rs.

$3$ and the cost of one pen is Rs.

Explanation

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

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

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

Now From eq 2

$\Rightarrow 15y = 155-x$

$\Rightarrow y = \dfrac{155-x}{15}...(3)$

Substituting y from eq3 in eq1

$\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{10\left ( 155-x \right )}{15} = 105$

$\Rightarrow 15x+1550-10x =1575$

$\Rightarrow 5x = 1575-1550$

$\Rightarrow 5x = 25$

$\Rightarrow x = 5$

Substituting x in eq2

$\Rightarrow 5+15y = 155$

$\Rightarrow 15y = 155-5$

$\Rightarrow 15y = 150$

$\Rightarrow y = 10$

Hence

$x= 5$ and

$y = 10$

Fixed charge is Rs.

Given Pair of equations are:

$\frac{3x}{2}-\frac{5y}{3} = -2\Rightarrow 9x-10y=-12$ ...eq(i)

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2} = \frac{13}{6}\Rightarrow 2x+3y=13$ ...eq(ii)
Now from eq2 will get

$2x+3y = 13$
Now using substitution method

$y = \frac{13-2x}{3}$
Now substituting y in eq (i) will get

$\Rightarrow 9x-\frac{10\left ( 13-2x \right )}{3} = -12$

$\Rightarrow 27x-130+20x= -36$

$\Rightarrow 47x = -36+130$

$\Rightarrow 47x = 94$

$\Rightarrow x = 2$
Now substituting x in eq (ii) will get

$\Rightarrow 2\times 2 +3y = 13$

$\Rightarrow 4 +3y = 13$

$\Rightarrow 3y = 13-4$

$\Rightarrow 3y = 9$

$\Rightarrow y = 3$

$\Rightarrow 2(t + 3) + 3t = 36$

$\Rightarrow 5t + 6 = 36$

$\Rightarrow t = 6$
From (iii),

$s =6 +3 = 9$ ,
Hence,

$s = 9, t = 6$

A fraction becomes

None of these

Explanation

Let $\dfrac {x}{y}$ be the fraction, where $x$ and $y$ are positive integers.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac {x+2}{y+2}=\dfrac {9}{11}$ ..(1)
$\Rightarrow \dfrac {x+3}{y+3}=\dfrac {5}{6}$ ..(2)

From (1) we get
$\Rightarrow 11x+22 = 9y+18$
$\Rightarrow 11x-9y = -4$ ...(3)

From (2) we get
$\Rightarrow 6x +18 = 5y +15$
$\Rightarrow 6x-5y = -3$ ...(4)

From (4) will get
$y = \dfrac{3+6x}{5}$

Now substituting $y$ in (3),

$\Rightarrow 11x-\dfrac{9\left ( 3+6x \right )}{5} = -4$

$\Rightarrow 55x-27-54x = -20$

$\Rightarrow 55x-54x = -20+27$

$\Rightarrow x = 7$

Now substituting $x$ in (4)

$\Rightarrow 6\times 7 -5y = -3$

$\Rightarrow 42-5y = -3$

$\Rightarrow -5y = -3 - 42$

$\Rightarrow -5y = -45$

$\Rightarrow y = 9$

Hence, $x = 7$ and $y = 9$ .

And fraction $\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{7}{9}$

Five years hence, the age of jacob will be three times that of his son. Five years ago, Jacob's age was seven times that of his son. What are their present ages?

0%
Present age of Jacob: $50$ years and Present age of Jacob's son: $15$ years
0%
Present age of Jacob: $50$ . years and Present age of Jacob's son: $10$ years
0%
Present age of Jacob: $40$ years and Present age of Jacob's son: $10$ years
0%
Present age of Jacob: $35$ years and Present age of Jacob's son: $15$ years

Explanation

Let

$x$ be the present age of Jacob's son and

$y$ be the present age of Jacob. Then as per the question

$(y + 5) =3(x + 5)\ ......(1)$

$(y- 5) = 7 (x - 5)\ ......(2)$

From equation

$(1)$ ,

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

$\Rightarrow 3x-y = -10\ ......(3)$

From equation

$(2)$ ,

$\Rightarrow y-5 = 7x-35$

$\Rightarrow 7x-y = 30\ .......(4)$

from equation

$(3)$ we get

$\Rightarrow -y = -10 -3x$

$\Rightarrow y = 10 +3x$

Now Substitute

$y$ in

$(4)$

$\Rightarrow 7x-\left ( 10+3x \right ) = 30$

$\Rightarrow 7x -10-3x = 30$

$\Rightarrow 4x = 30+10$

$\Rightarrow 4x = 40$

$\Rightarrow x = 10$

Now substituting

$x$ in (1) will give

$\Rightarrow 3\times 30-y = -10$

$\Rightarrow 30 - y = -10$

$\Rightarrow -y = -40$

$\Rightarrow y = 40$

Hence, Jacob's son's current age

$=$

$10$ and Jacob's Current age

$=$

$40$ .

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

0%
$x + y = 180$ and $x - y = 18$ , $x=99$ and $\,\,y=81$
0%
None of these

Explanation

Let the supplementary angles be

$x$ and

$y$ ,

$(x> y)$

$\therefore$ Sum of both angles is

$180^0$

$\Rightarrow x + y = 180$ ...

$(1)$

The larger angle exceeds the smaller by

$18^0$

$\Rightarrow x - y = 18$ ...

$(2)$

$\Rightarrow y=x -18$

Put value of

$y$ in (1), we get

$2x=198$

$\Rightarrow x = 99$

Now substituting the value of

$x$ in equation

$(1)$

$\Rightarrow 99+y = 180$

$\Rightarrow y = 180-99$

$\Rightarrow y = 81$

Hence,

$x = 99^0$ and

$y = 81^0$

The pair of linear equations for the given problem are

$x + y = 180$ and

$x - y = 18$ .

Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solutions (if they exist) by the elimination method:

Five years ago Nuri was thrice as old as Sonu. Ten years later, Nuri will be twice as old as Sonu. How old are Nuri and Sonu?

0%
Nuri is $40$ years old and Sonu is $10$ years old.
0%
Nuri is $50$ years old and Sonu is $20$ years old.
0%
Nuri is $70$ years old and Sonu is $30$ years old.
0%
Nuri is $60$ years old and Sonu is $10$ years old.

Explanation

Let present age of Nuri=

$x$ years
Let present age of sonu=

$y$ years
Five years ago
Nuri was

$\left(x-5 \right) years$
Sonu was

$\left(y-5 \right) years$
According to the first condition

$\Rightarrow \left(x-5 \right)=3\left(y-5 \right)$

$\Rightarrow x-5=3y-15 \Rightarrow x-3y=-10.........eq1$
Ten years later
Nuri will be

$\left(x+10 \right) years$
Sonu will be

$\left(y+10 \right)$

$\Rightarrow \left(x+10 \right)=2\left(y+10 \right)$

$\Rightarrow x+10=2y+20 \Rightarrow x+2y=10.....eq2$
Subtracting

$eq 1 and eq2$

$\Rightarrow -y=-2- \Rightarrow y=20$
put y=20 in

$eq1$

$x-3y=10 \Rightarrow x=10-60 \Rightarrow x=50$
Hence, present age of Nuri= 50 years
Let present age of sonu=20 years

Solve the following pair of equations by reducing them to a pair of linear equations:

$\dfrac {1}{(x-1)}+\dfrac {1}{(y-2)}=2, \ \dfrac {6}{(x-1)}-\dfrac {2}{(y-2)}=1$

$x=\dfrac{11}{5},\,\,y=\dfrac{13}{11}$
0%
$x=\dfrac{13}{5},\,\,y=\dfrac{30}{11}$
0%
$x=\dfrac{4}{5},\,\,y=\dfrac{20}{11}$
0%
None of these

Explanation

The given equations are

$\dfrac { 1 }{ x-1 } +\dfrac { 1 }{ y-2 } =2$ and

$\dfrac { 6 }{ x-1 } -\dfrac { 2 }{ y-2 } =1$

Let $\dfrac { 1 }{ x-1 } =u$ and $\dfrac { 1 }{ y-2 } =v$

$u+v=2$ .......(i) and

$6u-2v=1$ ......(ii)

Multiply (i) by $6$

$\Rightarrow 6u+6v=12$ ......(iii)

Subtract (ii) from (iii)

$\Rightarrow 8v=11$

$\Rightarrow v=\dfrac { 11 }{ 8 }$

Therefore $\dfrac { 1 }{ y-2 } =\dfrac { 11 }{ 8 }$

$\Rightarrow y-2=\dfrac { 8 }{ 11 }$

$\Rightarrow y=\dfrac { 30 }{ 11 }$

Putting $v=\dfrac { 11 }{ 8 }$ in (i), we get

$u+\dfrac { 11 }{ 8 } =2$

$\Rightarrow u=\dfrac { 5 }{ 8 }$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac { 1 }{ x-1 } =\dfrac { 5 }{ 8 }$

$\Rightarrow x-1=\dfrac { 8 }{ 5 }$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac { 13 }{ 5 }$

Therefore, $\left( x,y \right) =\left( \dfrac { 13 }{ 5 } ,\dfrac { 30 }{ 11 } \right)$

Solve the following pairs of equations by reducing them to a pair of linear equations:

$\displaystyle \dfrac {7x-2y}{xy}=5, \dfrac {8x+7y}{xy}=15$

0%
$x=0,\,\,y=2$
0%
$x=2,\,\,y=7$
0%
$x=13,\,\,y=0$
0%
$x=1,\,\,y=1$

Explanation

The given equations are

$\displaystyle \frac { 7x-2y }{ xy } =5\quad \& \quad \frac { 8x+7y }{ xy } =15.$

On simplifying, we get

$\displaystyle \frac { 7 }{ y } -\frac { 2 }{ x } =5$ and

$\dfrac { 8 }{ y } +\dfrac { 7 }{ x } =15\\$

Let

$\displaystyle \frac { 1 }{ x } =u$ and

$\dfrac { 1 }{ y }$

Then the equations reduce to

$7v-2u=5$ ...(i) and

$8v+7u=15$ ...(ii)

Multiplying (i) by

$8$ and (ii) by

$7$ , we get

$56v-16u=40$ ...(iii) and

$56v+49u=105$ ...(iv)

Subtracting (iv) from (iii),

$-65u=-65$

$\Rightarrow u=1$ .

$\therefore \dfrac { 1 }{ x } =1\Rightarrow x=1$

Putting

$u=1$ in

$(i)$ ,

$7v-2\times 1=5\\ \Rightarrow v=1\\ \Rightarrow \dfrac { 1 }{ y } =1\\ \Rightarrow y=1$

$(x,y)=( 1,1)$

The real numbers

$x$ and

$y$ are such that

$\displaystyle x+\frac{2}{y}=\frac{8}{3}$ and

$\displaystyle y+\frac{2}{x}=3$ .

The value of

$xy$ , is

0%
$\displaystyle \frac{4}{3}$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac{16}{9}$
0%
$2$
0%
$4$

Explanation

$\displaystyle x+\frac{2}{y}=\frac{8}{3}$ ...(i)

$\displaystyle y+\frac{2}{x}=3\Rightarrow y=\frac{3x-2}{x}$ ...(ii)

From (i)

$\displaystyle x+\frac{2x}{3x-2}=\frac{8}{3}$

$\Rightarrow \displaystyle 3(3x^2-2x+2x)=8(3x-2)$

$\Rightarrow \displaystyle 9x^2-24x+16=0$

$\Rightarrow \displaystyle (3x-4)^2=0$

$\Rightarrow \displaystyle x=\frac43$

From (ii), we get

$y=\dfrac{3\times\frac43-2}{\frac43}=\dfrac32$
Now,

$xy=\dfrac43\times\dfrac32=2$
Hence, option C is correct.

Solve the following pair of equations by reducing them to a pair of linear equations:

$\displaystyle \frac {2}{\sqrt x}+\frac {3}{\sqrt y}=2, \frac {4}{\sqrt x}-\frac {9}{\sqrt y}=-1$

0%
$x=1,\,\,y=4$
0%
$x=3,\,\,y=2$
0%
$x=4,\,\,y=9$
0%
$x=16,\,\,y=25$

Explanation

Let us put

$\displaystyle \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { x } } =u\quad \& \quad \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { y } } =v$ .

Then the equations become

$2u+3v=2$ ......(i) and

$4u-9v=-1$ .....(ii)

Multiplying (i) by

$2$ and subtracting the result from (ii),

$-15v=-5$

$\Rightarrow v= \dfrac { 1 }{ 3 }$

So,

$\dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { y } } =\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 }$

$\Rightarrow y=9$

Again, putting

$v= \dfrac { 1 }{ 3 }$ in

$(i)$ ,

$2u+3\times \dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } =2$

$\Rightarrow u=\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 }$ i.e.

$\dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { x } } =\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 }$

$\Rightarrow x=4.\\$

So,

$(x,y)=(4,9)$

Hence, option C is correct.

For which values of

$a$ and

$b$ does the following pair of linear equations have an infinite number of solutions?

$2x + 3y = 7$

$(a - b)x + (a + b) y = 3 a + b - 2$

0%
$a=1$ and $b=7$
0%
$a=13$ and $b=6$
0%
$a=2$ and $b=10$
0%
$a=5$ and $b=1$

Explanation

Let

$2x + 3y - 7 = 0$ ........(i)
and

$(a- b)x + (a + b)y - (3 a + b - 2) = 0$ .......(ii)
For infinite number of solutions, we have

$\dfrac {a-b}{2}=\dfrac {a+b}{3}=\dfrac {3a+b-2}{7}$
For first and second, we have

$\dfrac {a-b}{2}=\dfrac {a+b}{3}$ or

$3a - 3b = 2a + 2b$

$a = 5b$ ........(i)
From second and third, we have

$\dfrac {a+b}{3}=\dfrac {3a+b-2}{7}$

$7a + 7b = 9a + 3b - 6 \ or \ 4b = 2a - 6$

$2b = a - 3$ ........(ii)
From (i) and (ii), eliminating

$a$ ,

$2b = 5b - 3 \Rightarrow b = 1$
Substituting

$b= 1$ in (i), we get

$a = 5$
