Q.3. In a rectangle, if the length is increased by 3 meters and breadth is decreased by 4 meters, the area of the rectangle is reduced by 67 square meters. If length is reduced by 1 meter and breadth is increased by 4 meters, the area is increased by 89 Sq. meters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Ans. Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be x and y units respectively
Then, area of rectangle = xy square units
If the length is increased by 3 meters and breath is reduced each by 4 square meters the area is reduced by 67 square units
Therefore,
xy - 67 = (x + 3) (y - 4) 
xy - 67 = xy + 3y - 4x - 12
Chapter 3 - Pair Of Linear Equations In Two Variables, RD Sharma Solutions - (Part-3) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 10 Mathematics
4x - 3y - 67 + 12 = 0
4x - 3y - 55 = 0 ...(i)
Then the length is reduced by 1 meter and breadth is increased by 4 meter then the area is increased by 89 square units
Therefore, 0 = 4x - y - 93 ...(ii)
Thus, we get the following system of linear equation
4x - 3y - 55 = 0
4x - y - 93 = 0
By using cross multiplication we have

The breath of rectangle is 19 meter.

Q.4. The incomes of X and Y are in the ratio of 8 : 7 and their expenditures are in the ratio 19: 16 If each saves Rs 1250, find their incomes.
Ans. 
Let the income of X be Rs 8x and the income of Y be Rs 7x further let the expenditure of X be 19y and the expenditure of Y be 16y respectively then,
Saving of x = 8x - 19y
Saving of Y = 7x - 16y
8x - 19y = 1250
7x - 16y = 1250
8x - 19y - 1250 = 0 ...(i)
7x - 16y - 1250 = 0 ...(ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii) by cross- multiplication, we have
Chapter 3 - Pair Of Linear Equations In Two Variables, RD Sharma Solutions - (Part-3) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 10 Mathematics
The monthly income of X = 8x
= 8 x 750
= 6000
The monthly income of Y = 7x
= 7 x 750
= 5250
Hence the monthly income of X is Rs. 6000
The monthly income of Y is Rs. 5250

Q.5. A and B each has some money. If A gives Rs 30 to B, then B will have twice the money left with A. But, if B gives Rs 10 to A, then A will have thrice as much as is left with B. How much money does each have?
Ans. 
Let the money with A be Rs x and the money with B be Rs y.
If A gives Rs 30 to B, Then B will have twice the money left with A, According to the condition we have,
y + 30 = 2(x - 30)
y + 30 = 2x - 60
0 = 2x - y - 60 - 30
0 = 2x - y - 90 ...(i)
If B gives Rs 10 to A, then A will have thrice as much as is left with B,
x + 10 = 3(y - 10)
x + 10 = 3y - 30
x - 3y + 10 + 30 = 0
x - 3y + 40 = 0 ...(ii)
By multiplying equation (ii) with 2 we get, 2x - 6y + 80 = 0
By subtracting (ii) from (i) we get,
By substituting y = 34 in equation (i) we get
Chapter 3 - Pair Of Linear Equations In Two Variables, RD Sharma Solutions - (Part-3) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 10 Mathematics 
x = 62
Hence the money with A be Rs. 62 and the money with B be Rs. 34

Q.6. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral such that ∠A = (4y + 20)°, ∠B = (3y − 5)°, ∠C = (−4x)° and ∠D = (7x + 5)°. Find the four angles.
Ans. We know that the sum of the opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is 180° in the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD angles A and C and angles B and D pairs of opposite angles
Therefore
∠A + C = 180° and ∠B + ∠D = 180°
∠A + C = 180°
By substituting ∠A = (4y + 20)° and ∠C = (- 4x)° we get
4y + 20 - 4x = 180°
- 4x + 4y + 20 = 180°
- 4x + 4y = 180° - 20
- 4x + 4y = 160°
4x - 4y = - 160°
Divide both sides of equation by 4 we get
x - y = - 40°
x - y + 40° = 0 ...(i)
∠B + ∠D = 180°
By substituting ∠B = (3y - 5)° and ∠D = (7x + 5)° we get
3y - 5 + 7x + 5 = 180°
7x + 3y = 180
7x + 3y - 180 = 0 ...(ii)
By multiplying equation (i) by 3 we get
3x - 3y + 120° = 0 ...(iii)
By subtracting equation (iii) from (ii) we get

By substituting x = 6° in equation (i) we get
x - y + 40° = 0
6 - y + 40 = 0
- 1y = - 40 - 6
- 1y = - 46
Chapter 3 - Pair Of Linear Equations In Two Variables, RD Sharma Solutions - (Part-3) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 10 Mathematics
The angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are
∠A = 4y + 20
= 4 x 46 + 20
= 184 + 20
= 204°
∠B = 3y - 5
= 3 x 46 - 5
= 138 - 5
= 133°
∠C = - 4x°
 = -4(6)
= - 24°
∠D = 7x + 5
= 7 x 6 + 5
= 42 + 5
= 47°
Hence the angles of quadrilateral are ∠A = 204°,∠B = 133°, ∠C = - 24°, ∠D = 47°

Q.7. 2 men and 7 boys can do a piece of work in 4 days. The same work is done in 3 days by 4 men and 4 boys. How long would it take one man and one boy to do it?

Q.8. In a ∆ABC, ∠A = x°, ∠B = (3x − 2)°, ∠C = y°. Also, ∠C − ∠B = 9°. Find the three angles.
Ans. Let ∠A = x°, ∠B = (3x − 2)°, ∠C = y° and
∠C−∠B = 9°
⇒ ∠C = 9°+∠B
⇒∠C = 9°+3x°− 2°
⇒∠C = 7°+3x°
Substitute ∠C = y° in above equation we get ,
y° = 7° + 3x°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ x°+ (3x°−2°)+(7°+3x°) = 180°
⇒ 7x°+5°=180°
⇒ 7x°=180°−5°=175°
Chapter 3 - Pair Of Linear Equations In Two Variables, RD Sharma Solutions - (Part-3) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 10 Mathematics
∠A = x° = 25°
∠B = (3x−2)° = 3(25°)−2°=73°
∠C = (7°+3x°) = 7°+3(25)°=82°
∠A=25°, ∠B=73°, ∠C = 82°
Hence, the answer.

Q.9. In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A = (2x + 4)°, ∠B = (y + 3)°, ∠C = (2y + 10)°, ∠D = (4x − 5)°. Find the four angles.
Ans. We know that the sum of the opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is 180°. In the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, angles A and C and angles B and D pairs of opposite angles
Therefore ∠A + ∠C = 180° and ∠B + ∠D = 180°
Taking ∠A + ∠C = 180°
By substituting ∠A = (2x + 4)° and ∠C = (2y + 10)°, we get
2x + 4 + 2y + 10 = 180
2x + 2y + 14 = 180°
2x + 2y = 180° - 14°
2x + 2y = 166  ...(i)
Taking ∠B + ∠D = 180°
By substituting ∠B = (y + 3)° and ∠D (4x + 5)° we get
y + 3 + 4x - 5 = 180°
4x + y - 5 + 3 = 180°
4x + y - 2 = 180°
4x + y = 180° + 2°
4x + y = 182° ...(ii)
By multiplying equation (ii) by 2 we get 8x + 2y = 364  ...(iii)
By subtracting equation (iii) from (i) we get
Chapter 3 - Pair Of Linear Equations In Two Variables, RD Sharma Solutions - (Part-3) | RD Sharma Solutions for Class 10 Mathematics
By substituting x = 33° in equation (ii) we get
4x + y = 182
4 x 33 + y = 182
132 + y = 182
y = 182 - 132
y = 50
The angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are
∠A = 2x + 4
= 2x 33 + 4
= 66 + 4
= 70°
∠B = y + 3
= 50 + 3
= 53°
∠C = 2y + 10°
= 2 x 50 + 10
= 100 + 10
= 110°
∠D = 4x - 5
= 4 x 33 - 5
= 132 - 5
= 127°
Hence, the angles of cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are ∠A = 70°, ∠B = 53°, ∠C = 110°, ∠D = 127°
