A confused bank teller transposed the rupees and paise when he cashed a cheque for Mansi, giving her rupees instead of paise and paise instead of rupees. After buying a toffee for 50 paise, Mansi noticed that she was left with exactly three times as much as the amount on the cheque. Which of the following is a valid statement about the cheque amount?

Detailed Solution for Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 2

let us consider

ab = Money in rs.

cd = money in paise.

so here we have  

3(ab.cd) = cd.ab - 0.50

3ab + 3cd/100 = cd + ab/100 - 0.50

299ab + 50 = 97cd

cd = (299ab + 50)/97

cd = 3ab + (8ab + 50)/97

to get cd as two digit number we have, ab = 18

which gives cd = 56

So money = Rs 18.56

Check

56.18 - .50 = 3(18.56)

55.68 = 55.68

Rozly can row downstream 20km in 2 hours, and the upstream 4km in 2 hours. What will be the speed of rowing in still water?       

Detailed Solution for Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 6

The speed of the rowing on still water denoted by M kmph.

The speed of the stream denoted by N kmph.

The upstream speed of Ritu’s rowing is (M – N) kmph

The downstream speed of Ritu’s rowing is (M + N) kmph

2(M+N)=20   (1)  

2(M-N)=4      (2)

Solving the equation, we get  

2(M+N)=20;

2(M-N)=4;  

M-N=2;

M=2+N;

Substituting M=2+N in equation (1)

2(M+N)=20

2(2+N+N)=20 ;  

N=4  

Substituting N = 4 in equation (1),  

2(M+N)=20

2(M+4)=20

2M+8=20

2M=20-8

2M=12

M=6  

the value of M = 6.

Therefore, the speed at which Ritu rows is 6 kmph and the speed of the current is 4 kmph.

Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 11

A single reservoir supplies the petrol to the whole city, while the reservoir is fed by a single pipeline filling the reservoir with the stream of uniform volume. When the reservoir is full and if 40000 litres of petrol is used daily, the supply fails in 90 days. If 32000 litres of petrol is used daily, the supply fails in 60 days. How much petrol can be used daily without the supply ever failing?

Detailed Solution for Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 11

Let quantity of petrol filled every day = x litre

Total volume = v litre

 

When the reservoir is full and if 40,000 litres of petrol is used daily, the supply fails in 90 days

v = (40000- x)*90

 

If 32,000 litres of petrol is used daily, supply fails in 60 days. 

v = (32000- x)*60

 

(40000- x)*90 = (32000- x)*60

 

(40000- x)*3= (32000- x)*2

 

120000 - 3x = 64000 - 2x

 

x = 56000

 

Quantity of petrol filled every day = 56000 litre

 

Therefore 56000 litre can be used daily without supply ever failing

Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 17

The length of the sides of a triangle are 3x + 2y, 4x +  y and 3(x + 1) +  (y – 1). If the triangle is equilateral, then its side is

Detailed Solution for Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 17

Since all sides of equilateral triangle are equal
3x+2y = 4x + 4/3y = 3(x+1) +3/2(y-1)
then,
3x + 2y = 4x + 4/3y
or,. 3x - 4x = 4/3y - 2y
or. - x = (4y - 6y)/3
or. - x = -2y/3
or. x = 2y/3. ( I )

again ,

4x + 4/3y = 3( x+1 ) + 3/2( y-1 )
or. 4x + 4/3y = 3x + 3 + 3/2y - 3/2
or 4x - 3x = 3/2y - 4/3y + 3 - 3/2
or x = ( 9y - 8y )/6 + ( 6 - 3 )/2
or. x = y/6 + 3/2 ( ii )

from equations ( I ) & ( ii ) we get ,
2y/3. = y/6 + 3/2
or. 2y/3 = ( y + 9) / 6
or 6 × 2y = 3( y + 9 )
or. 12y = 3y + 27
or. 12y - 3y = 27
or. 9y = 27
or. y = 3


putting the value of y in equation ( I )
x = (2 × 3)/3
x = 6/3
x = 2

hence ,

3x + 2y = 3 × 2 + 2× 3
= 6 + 6
= 12
therefore C is your correct answer

Detailed Solution for Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 18

↪Let the two smaller angles be x and y respectively 

=> Now , according to the given question ->


=> Larger angle = 2 ( x + y ) ....................( 1 )


▪Applying the Angle Sum Property of a ∆ ,

=> 2 ( x + y ) + x + y = 180


=> 2x + 2y + x + y = 180


=> 3x + 3y = 180


-> Taking 3 common ,


=> 3 ( x + y = 60 

=> Hence ( x + y ) = 60 . Put this value in Eq. (1)


=> Larger Angle = 2 ( x + y )

=> 2 ( 60 )


=> 120°


=> Smallest Angle = ¼ × 120 = 30°


=> Third Angle = 180 - ( 120 + 30 )

=> 180 - 150 = 30°

♦Hence the Angles are 30° , 30° and 120°

Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 21

Customers are asked to stand in the lines. If one customer is extra in a line, then there would be two less lines. If one customer is less in line, there would be three more lines. Find the number of students in the class.       

Detailed Solution for Linear Equation In Two Variables - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 21

5 customers in a Line

Total Number of customers = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Customers are asked to stand in the lines. If one customer is extra in a line, then there would be two less lines. If one customer is less in line, there would be three more lines.

Let say There are  C customers in a Line  and total L number of lines

Total number of customers = ( customers in a line) * (number of Lines)

=>Total number of customers =  CL

If one customer is extra in a line, then there would be two less lines

=> Total number of customers = (C + 1)(L -2)

(C + 1)(L -2)  = CL

=> CL + L - 2C - 2 = CL

=> L - 2C  = 2   - eq 1

If one customer is less in line, there would be three more lines.

=> Total number of customers = (C - 1)(L +3)

(C - 1)(L +3) = CL

=> CL - L + 3C - 3 = CL

=> - L + 3C = 3    - eq 2

Adding eq 1 & eq 2

=> C = 5

L - 2(5) = 2

=> L = 12

5 customers in a Line

Total Number of customers =  CL = 5*12  = 60
