Q 20 : Ravish tells his daughter Aarushi, “Seven years ago, I was seven times as old as you were then. Also, three years from now, I shall be three times as old as you will be”. If present ages of Aarushi and Ravish are x and y years respectively, represent this situation algebraically as well as graphically.
Ans. We are given the present age of Ravish as y years and Aarushi as x years.
Age of Ravish seven years ago = y – 7
Age of Aarushi seven years ago = x – 7
It has already been said by Ravish that seven years ago he was seven times old then Aarushi was then
So, y – 7 = 7 (x – 7)
Y – 7 = 7 x – 49
7x – y = – 7 + 49
7x – y – 42 = 0 ——(1)
Age of Ravish three years from now = y + 3
Age of Aarushi three years from now = x+3
It has already been said by Ravish that three years from now he will be three times older then Aarushi will be then So,
Y + 3 = 3 (x + 3)
y + 3 = 3x + 9
3x + 9 – y – 3 = 0
3x – y + 6 = 0 —–(2)
(1) and (2) are the algebraic representation of the given statement.
We are given,
7x – y- 42 = 0
We get,
Y = 7x – 42
Now, substituting x = 0 in y = 7x —42,
we get y = -42
Substituting x = 6 in y = 7x – 42,
we get y = 0
Thus, we have the following table exhibiting the abscissa and ordinates of points on the line represented by the given equation
X | 0 | 6 |
Y | -42 | 0 |
We are given,
3x – y + 6 =0
We get,
Y = 3x + 6
Now, substituting x=0 in y = 3x + 6,
We get y = 6
Substituting x= —2 in y = 3x + 6,
We get y = 0
Thus, we have the following table exhibiting the abscissa and ordinates of points on the line represented by the given equation
X | 0 | -2 |
Y | 6 | 0 |
The red -line represents the equation 7x—y-42 =0.
The blue-line represents the equation 3x —y +6 =0.
Q21: Aarushi was driving a car with uniform speed of 60 km/h. Draw distance-time graph From the graph, find the distance travelled by Aarushi in
(i) 212 Hours
(ii) 12 Hour
Ans. Aarushi is driving the car with the uniform speed of 60 km/h. We represent time on X-axis and distance on Y-axis Now, graphically
We are given that the car is travelling with a uniform speed 60 km/hr. This means car travels 60 km distance each hour. Thus the graph we get is of a straight line.
Also, we know when the car is at rest, the distance travelled is 0 km, speed is 0 km/hr and the time is also 0 hr. Thus, the given straight line will pass through O (0 , 0) and M (1, 60).
Join the points 0 and M and extend the line in both directions.
Now, we draw a dotted line parallel to y-axis from x = 12 that meets the straight line graph at L from which we draw a line parallel to x-axis that crosses y-axis at 30. Thus, in 12hr, distance travelled by the car is 30 km.
Now, we draw a dotted line parallel to y-axis from x = 212 that meets the straight line graph at N from which we draw a line parallel to x-axis that crosses y-axis at 150. Thus, in 212hr, distance travelled by the car is 150 km.
(i) Distance = Speed x Time Distance travelled in hours is given by
Distance=60 x
Distance = 60 x 5/2
Distance = 150 Km
(ii) Distance = Speed x Time Distance travelled in 12 hour is given by
Distance=60 x
Distance = 30 km
