Question for Assertion & Reason Type Questions: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables
Try yourself: Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.Assertion (A): In a ΔABC, ∠C = 3∠B = 2(∠A + ∠B), then ∠A = 20°.
Reason (R): The angles of a triangle are x, y and 40°. The difference between the two angles x and y is 30°, then x = 85° and y = 55°.
Explanation
In case of assertion
Given that, ∠C = 3∠B = 2(∠A + ∠B)
3∠B = 2(∠A + ∠B)
3∠B = 2∠A + 2∠B
∠B = 2∠A
2 ∠A − ∠B = 0 ...(i)
We know that the sum of the measures of all angles of a triangle is 180°.
Therefore, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠A + ∠B + 3∠B = 180°
∠A + 4∠B = 180° ...(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 4, we obtain
8∠A − 4∠B = 0 ...(iii)
Adding equations (ii) and (iii), we obtain
9∠A = 180°
∠A = 20°
∴ Assertion is correct.
In case of reason: Given that, x, y and 40° are the angels of a triangle.
x + y + 40° = 180°
[Since the sum of all the angels of a triangle is 180°.]
⇒ x + y = 140° ...(i)
Also, x – y = 30° ...(ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
2x = 170°
⇒ x = 170/2
∴ x = 85°
On putting x = 85° in Eq. (i), we get
85° + y = 140°
y = 140° – 85° = 55°
∴ y = 55°
Hence, the required values of x and y are 85° and 55°, respectively.
∴ Reason is correct.
Hence, both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

Question for Assertion & Reason Type Questions: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables
Try yourself: Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.Assertion : The linear equations x - 2y - 3 = 0 and 3x + 4y - 20 = 0 = have exactly one solution.
Reason : The linear equations 2x + 3y - 0 = and 4x + 6y - 18 = 0 = have a unique solution.
Explanation
Let us first consider the assertion. It says that the linear equations x − 2y − 3 = 0 and 3x + 4y − 20 = 0 have exactly one solution.
Let x − 2y − 3 = 0--- (1) And, 3x + 4y − 20 = 0---(2)
In order to solve these equations, let us multiply the first equation by 3.
3(x − 2y − 3) = 3 × 0
⟹ 3x − 6y − 9 = 0 ----(3)
Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2, we get,
3x + 4y − 20 − (3x − 6y − 9) = 0
Removing the brackets, we get,
3x + 4y − 20 − 3x + 6y + 9 = 0
⟹ 10y − 11 = 0
⟹ y = 11 / 10
Now, in order to find the value of x, substituting the value of y in equation 1, we get,
Thus, the pair of linear equations given possess exactly one solution (unique solution).
Hence, the assertion is correct.
Now, let us consider the reason. It says that the linear equations 2x + 3y − 9 = 0 and 4x + 6y − 8 = 0 have a unique solution.
Let 2x + 3y − 9 = 0---(1)
And, 4x + 6y − 18 = 0---(2)
In order to solve these equations, let us multiply the first equation by 2.
2(2x + 3y − 9) = 2 × 0
⟹4x + 6y − 18=0---(3)
As, equation 2 and 3 are same thus, thus the two linear equations given to us are coincident possessing infinitely many solutions.
Thus, the reason is not correct.
Thus, Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

Question for Assertion & Reason Type Questions: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables
Try yourself: Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.Assertion (A): The solution of the pair of linear equations x + y = 5 and 2x – 3y = 4 is x = 19/5 and y = 6/5.
Reason (R): The solution of the pair of linear equations 3x + 4y = 10 and 2x – 2y = 2 is x = 2 and y = 1.
Explanation
In case of assertion
By elimination method,
x + y = 5 ...(i)
2x – 3y = 4 ...(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by (ii), we obtain
2x + 2y = 10 ...(iii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (iii), we obtain
5y = 6
y = 6/5 …(iv)
Substituting the value in equation (i), we obtain
∴ x = 19/5 , y = 6/5
∴ Assertion is correct.
In case of reason:
By elimination method,
3x + 4y = 10 ...(i)
2x – 2y = 2 ...(ii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 2, we obtain
4x – 4y = 4 ...(iii)
Adding equations (i) and (iii), we obtain
7x = 14
x = 2 ...(iv)
Substituting in equation (i), we obtain
6 + 4y = 10
4y = 4
y = 1
Hence, x = 2, y = 1
∴ Reason is correct.
Hence, both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

Therefore, the lines represented by (1) and (3) shows that the lines are coincident and there are infinitely many solutions.
Hence, the Assertion is correct.
Clearly, the Reason is correct.
Since both the Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

Try yourself: Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.Assertion : The value of q = ±2, if x = 3, y = 1 is the solution of the line 2x + y – q2 – 3 = 0.
Reason : The solution of the line will satisfy the equation of the line.
Explanation
As x = 3, y = 1 is the solution of 2x + y – q
2 – 3 = 0
∴ 2 x 3 + 1 – q2 – 3 = 0
⇒ 4 – q2 = 0
⇒ q2 = 4 ⇒ q = ± 2
So, both A and R are correct and R explains A.

Question for Assertion & Reason Type Questions: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables
Try yourself: Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.Assertion (A): If 4 chairs and 3 tables cost ₹ 2100 and 5 chairs and 2 tables cost ₹ 1750, then the cost of 1 chair is ₹ 150.Reason (R): Sum of the ages of a father and the son is 40 years. If father's age is 3 times that of his son, then the son's age is 12 years.
Explanation
In case of assertion
Let cost of 1 chair be ₹ x and cost of 1 table be ₹ y
According to the question,
4x +3y = 2100 ...(i)
and 5x +2y = 1750 ...(ii)
Multiplying eqn. (i) by 2 and eqn. (ii) by 3, we get
8x +6y = 4200 ...(iii)
15x + 6y = 5250 ...(iv)
eqn. (iv) – eqn. (iii)
⇒ 7x = 1050
∴ x = 150
Substituting the value of x in (i) we get y = 500
Thus, the cost of one chair and one table are ₹ 150 and ₹ 500 respectively.
∴ Assertion is correct.
In case of reason:
Let age of father and son be x and y respectively.
Then, x + y = 40 ...(i)
and x = 3y ...(ii)
By solving eqns. (i) and (ii), we get
x = 30 and y = 10
Thus, the ages of father and son are 30 years and 10 years.
∴ Reason is incorrect.
Hence, Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

Reason (R): Two lines are given to be parallel. The equation of one of the lines is 4x + 3y = 14, 12x + 9y = 5.
Explanation
In case of assertion
x – 2y = 8 ...(i)

As a1/a2 = b1/b2 , so system of linear equations can never have unique solution.
∴ Assertion is incorrect.
In case of reason:
The equation of one line is 4x + 3y = 14.
We know that if two lines a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 are parallel, then
or
Hence, one of the possible, second parallel line is 12x + 9y = 5.
