Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 6

The solution of the equations x - y = 2 and x + y = 4 is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 6
x - y = 2

x = 2 + y

Substituting the value of x in the second equation we get;

2 + y + y = 4

2 + 2y = 4

2y = 2

y = 1

Now putting the value of y, we get;

x = 2 + 1 = 3

Hence, the solutions are x = 3 and y = 1.

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 7

A fraction becomes 1/3 when 1 is subtracted from the numerator and it becomes 1/4 when 8 is added to its denominator. The fraction obtained is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 7
Let the fraction be x / y

So, as per the question given,

(x - 1) / y = 1 / 3 => 3x – y = 3…………………(1)

x / (y + 8) = 1 / 4 => 4x – y = 8 ………………..(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get

x = 5 ………………………………………….(3)

Using this value in equation (2), we get,

4 × 5 – y = 8

y = 12

Therefore, the fraction is 5 / 12.

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 8

The solution of 4/x+3y=14 and 3/x-4y=23 is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 8
Let 1 / x = m

4m + 3y = 14

3m – 4y = 23

By cross multiplication we get;

m / (-69 - 56) = y / (-42 - (-92)) = 1 / (-16 - 9)

m / -125 = y / 50 = -1 / 25

m / -125 = -1 / 25 and y / 50 = -1 / 25

m = 5 and y = -2

m = 1 / x or x = 1 / m = 1 / 5

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 9

Ritu can row downstream 20 km in 2 hours, and upstream 4 km in 2 hours. Her speed of rowing in still water and the speed of the current is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 9
Let, Speed of Ritu in still water = x km/hr

Speed of Stream = y km/hr

Now, speed of Ritu, during,

Downstream = x + y km/h

Upstream = x – y km/h

As per the question given,

2(x + y) = 20

Or x + y = 10……………………….(1)

And, 2(x - y) = 4 Or x – y = 2………………………(2)

Adding both the equations, we get,

2x = 12

x = 6

Putting the value of x in eq.1, we get,

y = 4

Therefore, Speed of Ritu is still water = 6 km/hr

Speed of Stream = 4 km/hr

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 10

The angles of cyclic quadrilaterals ABCD are: A = (6x + 10), B = (5x)°, C = (x + y)° and D = (3y - 10)°. The value of x and y is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 10
We know, in cyclic quadrilaterals, the sum of the opposite angles are 180°.

Hence,

A + C = 180°

6x + 10 + x + y = 180

=> 7x + y = 170°

And B + D = 180°

5x + 3y - 10 = 180

=> 5x + 3y = 190°

By solving the above two equations we get;

x = 20° and y = 30°.

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 11

Half the perimeter of a rectangular room is 46 m, and its length is 6 m more than its breadth. What is the length and breadth of the room?

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 11
Let l and b be the length and breadth of the room. Then, the perimeter of the room = 2(l + b) metres

From question, l = 6 + b… (1)

×2(l + b) = 46 ⟹ l + b = 46… (2)

Using Substitution method: Substituting the value of l from (1) in (2), we get

6 + b + b = 46

⇒ 6 + 2b = 46

⟹ 2b = 40

⟹ b = 20 m.

Thus, l = 26 m

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 12

Solve the following pair of equations: 2x + y = 73x + 2y = 12 Choose the correct answer from the given options.

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 12
We have, 2x + y = 7 … (1)

3x + 2y = 12… (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2, we get:

2(2x + y) = 2(7)

⇒ 4x + 2y = 14… (3)

Subtracting (2) from (3) we get,

x = 2

Substituting the value of x in (1) we get,

2(2) + y = 7 ⟹ y = 3

Thus, the solution for the given pair of linear equations is (2, 3).

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 13

Choose the pair of equations which satisfy the point (1,-1)

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 13
For a pair of equations to satisfy a point, the point should be the unique solution of them.

Solve the pair equations 4x + y = 3, 3x + 2y = 1

let 4x + y = 3…..(1)

and 3x + 2y = 1 …..(2)

y = 3 − x

[ From (1)] Substituting value if y in (2)

3x + 2y = 1

3x + 2(3 − 4x) = 1

3x + 6 − 8x = 1

−5x = −5 ⇒ x = 1

Substituting x = 1 in (1),

4(1) + y = 3 ⇒ y = −1

⇒ (1, -1) is the solution of pair of equation.

∴ Pair of equations which satisfy the point (1, -1)

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 14

54 is divided into two parts such that sum of 10 times the first part and 22 times the second part is 780. What is the bigger part?

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 14
Let the 2 parts of 54 be x and y

x + y = 54…. (i)

And 10x + 22y = 780 ——————– (ii)

Multiply (i) by 10, we get

Substituting y = 20 in x + y = 54, we have x + 20 = 54; x = 34

Hence, x = 34 and y = 20.

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 15

What are the values of a, b and c for the equation y = 0.5x + √7 when written in the standard form: ax + by + c = 0?

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 15
Y= 0.5X + √7

⇒ 0.5x− y + √7= 0

The general form of an equation is ax + by + c = 0.

Here, on comparing, we get

a = 0.5, b = −1 and c = √7

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 16

Which of these points lie on the line 7x+8y=61

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 16
Substituting the value of x = 3 and y = 4,

7x + 8y = 61 = 7(3) + 8(4) = 53.

Substituting the value of x = 2 and y = 5,

7x + 8y = 61 = 7(2) + 8(5) = 54.

Substituting the value of x = -3 and y = 7,

7x + 8y = 61 = 7(−3) + 8(7) = 35.

Substituting the value of x = 3 and y = 5,

7x + 8y = 61 = 7(3) + 8(5) = 61

Hence, (3, 5) lies on the given line.

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 17

Which of these following equations have x = −3, y = 2 as solutions?

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 17
Substituting the values in LHS,

L.H.S = 2x + 3y

L.H.S = 2(−3) + 3(2)

L.H.S = 0 = R.H.S

Hence x = −3, y = 2 is the solution of the equation 2x + 3y = 0

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 18

If y = 1 / 2 (3x + 7) is rewritten in the form ax + by + c = 0, what are the values of a, b and c?

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 18
The given equation is

y = 1 / 2 (3x + 7)

Simplifying the equation we get:

2y − 3x − 7 = 0

⇒ −3x + 2y − 7 = 0 (1)

Thus, the value of a, b and c is -3, 2 and -7 respectively.

The equation can also be written as, 3x − 2y + 7 = 0

Thus, the value of a, b and c is +3, -2 and +7 respectively.

The option -3, 2 and -7 is correct [Since +3, -2 and +7 is not an option]

Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 20

Solve the following pair of equations:

(1 / x) + (3 / y) = 1

(6 / x) - 12 / y = 2

Detailed Solution for Test: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Hard) - Question 20
Let 1 / x = a and 1 / y = b

(As x ≠ 0, y ≠ 0)

Then, the given equations become

a + 3b = 1 … (1)

6a − 12b = 2 … (2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 4, we get

4a + 12b = 4 … (3)

On adding equation (2) and equation (3), we get 10a = 6

⇒ a = 3 / 5

Putting a = 3 / 5 in equation (1), we get (3 / 5) + 3b = 1

⇒ b = 2 / 15

Hence, x = 5 / 3 and y = 15 / 2
