Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Given, half the perimeter of a rectangular garden = 36 m

so, 2(l + b)/2 = 36

(l + b) = 36 ……….(1)
Given, the length is 4 m more than its width.

Let width = x

And length = x + 4

Substituting this in eq(1), we get;

x + x + 4 = 36
2x + 4 = 36
2x = 32
x = 16

Therefore, the width is 16 m and the length is 16 + 4 = 20 m.


On comparing the ratios a1/a2, b1/b2, and c1/c2, find out whether the following pair of linear equations are consistent, or inconsistent.

(i) 3x + 2y = 5 ; 2x – 3y = 7

(ii) 2x – 3y = 8 ; 4x – 6y = 9

Hide | Show

જવાબ : (i) Given : 3x + 2y = 5 or 3x + 2y – 5 = 0
and 2x – 3y = 7 or 2x – 3y – 7 = 0

Comparing the above equations with a1x + b1y + c1=0
And a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
We get,
a= 3, b= 2, c= -5
a= 2, b= -3, c= -7

a1/a= 3/2, b1/b= 2/-3, c1/c= -5/-7 = 5/7
Since, a1/a2≠b1/bthe lines intersect each other at a point and have only one possible solution.

Hence, the equations are consistent.

(ii) Given 2x – 3y = 8 and 4x – 6y = 9
Therefore,
a= 2, b= -3, c= -8
a= 4, b= -6, c= -9

a1/a= 2/4 = 1/2, b1/b= -3/-6 = 1/2, c1/c= -8/-9 = 8/9

Since, a1/a2=b1/b2≠c1/c2

Therefore, the lines are parallel to each other and they have no possible solution. Hence, the equations are inconsistent.


Solve 2x + 3y = 11 and 2x – 4y = – 24 and hence find the value of ‘m’ for which y = mx + 3.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : 2x + 3y = 11…………………………..(i)
2x – 4y = -24………………………… (ii)
From equation (ii), we get;
x = (11 – 3y)/2 ……….…………………………..(iii)

Putting the value of x in equation (ii), we get

2[(11 – 3y)/2] – 4y = −24
11 – 3y – 4y = -24
-7y = -35
y = 5……………………………………..(iv)
Putting the value of y in equation (iii), we get;

x = (11 – 15)/2 = -4/2 = −2
Hence, x = -2, y = 5
Also,
y = mx + 3
5 = -2m +3
-2m = 2
m = -1
Therefore, the value of m is -1.


Solve the following pair of linear equations by the substitution method.

(i) x + y = 14
x – y = 4

(ii) 3x – y = 3
9x – 3y = 9

Hide | Show

જવાબ : (i) Given,
x + y = 14 and x – y = 4 are the two equations.
From 1st equation, we get,
x = 14 – y
Now, put the value of x in second equation to get,
(14 – y) – y = 4
14 – 2y = 4
2y = 10
Or y = 5
By the value of y, we can now find the value of x;
x = 14 – y
x = 14 – 5
Or x = 9
Hence, x = 9 and y = 5.

(ii) Given,
3x – y = 3 and 9x – 3y = 9 are the two equations.
From 1st equation, we get,
x = (3 + y)/3
Now, substitute the value of x in the given second equation to get,
9[(3 + y)/3] – 3y = 9

3(3+y) – 3y = 9
9 + 3y – 3y = 9
9 = 9
Therefore, y has infinite values and since, x = (3 + y)/3, so x also has infinite values.


The coach of a cricket team buys 7 bats and 6 balls for Rs.3800. Later, she buys 3 bats and 5 balls for Rs.1750. Find the cost of each bat and each ball.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Let the cost of a bat be x and the cost of a ball be y.
According to the question,
7x + 6y = 3800 ………………. (i)
3x + 5y = 1750 ………………. (ii)
From (i), we get;
y = (3800 – 7x)/6 …………………… (iii)
Substituting (iii) in (ii). we get,
3x + 5[(3800 – 7x)/6] = 1750
3x + (9500/3) – (35x/6) = 1750
3x – (35x/6) = 1750 – (9500/3)

(18x – 35x)/6 = (5250 – 9500)/3
-17x/6 = -4250/3
-17x = -8500
x = 500
Putting the value of x in (iii), we get;

y = (3800 – 7 × 500)/6 = 300/6 = 50
Hence, the cost of a bat is Rs 500 and cost of a ball is Rs 50.


A fraction becomes 9/11 if 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator. If, 3 is added to both the numerator and the denominator it becomes 5/6. Find the fraction.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Let the fraction be x/y.

According to the question,
(x + 2)/(y + 2) = 9/11

11x + 22 = 9y + 18

11x – 9y = -4 …………….. (1)
(x + 3)/(y + 3) = 5/6

6x + 18 = 5y +15
6x – 5y = -3 ………………. (2)
From (1), we get

x = (-4 + 9y)/11 …………….. (3)

Substituting the value of x in (2), we get
6[(-4 + 9y)/11] – 5y = -3

-24 + 54y – 55y = -33
-y = -9
y = 9 ………………… (4)
Substituting the value of y in (3), we get
x = (-4 + 81)/11 = 77/11 = 7

Hence, the fraction is 7/9.


Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solutions (if they exist) by the elimination method:

(i) Five years ago, Nuri was thrice as old as Sonu. Ten years later, Nuri will be twice as old as Sonu. How old are Nuri and Sonu?

(ii) A lending library has a fixed charge for the first three days and an additional charge for each day thereafter. Saritha paid Rs.27 for a book kept for seven days, while Susy paid Rs.21 for the book she kept for five days. Find the fixed charge and the charge for each extra day.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : (i)

Let us assume, the present age of Nuri is x.
And the present age of Sonu is y.
According to the given condition, we can write as;
x – 5 = 3(y – 5)
x – 3y = -10…………………………………..(1)
Now,
x + 10 = 2(y +10)
x – 2y = 10…………………………………….(2)
Subtract eq. 1 from 2, to get,
y = 20 ………………………………………….(3)

Substituting the value of y in eq.1, we get,
x – 3(20) = -10
x – 60 = -10
x = 50
Therefore,
Age of Nuri is 50 years
Age of Sonu is 20 years.


(ii)

Let the fixed charge for the first three days be Rs. A and the charge for each day extra be Rs. B.
According to the information given,
A + 4B = 27 …………………………………….…………………………. (i)
A + 2B = 21 ……………………………………………………………….. (ii)
When equation (ii) is subtracted from equation (i) we get,
2B = 6
B = 3 …………………………………………………………………………(iii)
Substituting B = 3 in equation (i) we get,
A + 12 = 27
A = 15
Hence, the fixed charge is Rs. 15.
And the Additional charge per day is Rs. 3.


Solve the following pair of linear equations by the substitution and cross-multiplication methods:
8x + 5y = 9
3x + 2y = 4

Hide | Show

જવાબ : 8x + 5y = 9 …………………..(1)
3x + 2y = 4 ……………….….(2)
From equation (2) we get;

x = (4 – 2y) / 3 ……………………. (3)
Substituting this value in equation 1, we get
8[(4 – 2y)/3] + 5y = 9
32 – 16y + 15y = 27
-y = -5
y = 5 ……………………………….(4)
Substituting this value in equation (2), we get
3x + 10 = 4

3x = -6
x = -2
Thus, x = -2 and y = 5.

Now, Using Cross Multiplication method:
8x +5y – 9 = 0
3x + 2y – 4 = 0

x/(-20 + 18) = y/(-27 + 32 ) = 1/(16 – 15)
-x/2 = y/5 = 1/1

x = -2 and y =5.

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 current = 4 km/hr

જવાબ : Let the length and breadth of a rectangle be x and y respectively.
Then area of the rectangle = xy
According to question, we have
(x – 5) 6 + 3) = xy – 9
xy + 3x – 5y – 15 = xy – 9
3x – 5y = 15 – 9 = 6 3x – 5y = 6 …(i)
Again, we have
(x + 3) 6 + 2) = xy + 67
xy + 2x + 3y + 6 = xy + 67
2x + 3y = 67 – 6 = 61 2x + 3y = 61…. (ii)
Now, from equation (i), we express the value of x in terms of y as

 

Putting the value of y in equation (i), we have
3x – 5 x 9 = 6 3x = 6 + 45 = 51
x = 513 = 17
Hence, the length of rectangle = 17 units and breadth of rectangle = 9 units.


A part of monthly hostel charges is fixed and the remaining depends on the number of days one has taken food in the mess. When a student A takes food for 20 days, she has to pay 31000 as hostel charges whereas a student B, who takes food for 26 days, pays 1180 as hostel charges. Find the fixed charges and the cost of food per day.

જવાબ : Let the fixed charge be *x and the cost of food per day be by.
Therefore, according to question,
x + 20y = 1000 …(i)
x + 26y = 1180 …(ii)
Now, subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we have


Putting the value of y in equation (i), we have
x + 20 x 30 = 1000
x + 600 = 1000 x = 1000 – 600 = 400
Hence, fixed charge is ₹400 and cost of f
ood per day is ₹30.

જવાબ : Let cost price of table be ₹x and the cost price of the chair be ₹y.


From equation (i) and (ii) we get
110x + 125y = 105000
and 125x + 110y = 106500
On adding and subtracting these equations, we get
235x + 235y = 211500
and 15x – 15y = 1500
i.e., x + y = 900 …(iii)
x – y = 100 …… (iv)
Solving equation (iii) and (iv) we get
x = 500, y = 400
So, the cost price of the table is ₹500 and the cost price of the chair is ₹400.


The sum of a two digit number and the number formed by interchanging its digits is 110. If 10 is subtracted from the first number, the new number is 4 more than 5 times the sum of the digits in the first number. Find the first number.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Let the digits at unit and tens places be x and y respectively.
Then, number = 10y + x …(i)
Number formed by interchanging the digits = 10x + y
According to the given condition, we have
(10y + x) + (10x + y) = 110

11x + 11y = 110
x + y – 10 = 0
Again, according to question, we have
(10y + x) – 10 = 5 (x + y) + 4

10y + x – 10 = 5x + 5y + 4
10y + x – 5x – 5y = 4 + 10
5y – 4x = 14 or 4x – 5y + 14 = 0
By using cross-multiplication, we have .


Putting the values of x and y in equation (i), we get
Number 10 × 6 + 4 = 64.

(i) Ritu can row downstream 20 km in 2 hours, and upstream 4 km in 2 hours. Find her speed of rowing in still water and the speed of the current.
(ii) Roobi travels 300 km to her home partly by train and partly by bus. She takes 4 hours if she travels 60 km by bus and the remaining by train. If she travels 100 km by bus and the remaining by train, she takes 10 minutes longer. Find the speed of the train and the bus separately.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : (i) Let her speed of rowing in still water be x km/h and the speed of the current be y km/h.
Case I: When Ritu rows downstream
Her speed (downstream) = (x + y) km/h

Putting the value of x in equation (i), we have
6 + y = 10 y = 10 – 6 = 4
Hence, speed of Ritu in still water = 6 km/h.
and speed of current = 4 km/h.

(ii) Let the speed of the bus be x km/h and speed of the train be y km/h.
According to question, we have

(x – 5) 6 + 3) = xy – 9
xy + 3x – 5y – 15 = xy – 9
3x – 5y = 15 – 9 = 6 3x – 5y = 6 …(i)
Again, we have
(x + 3) 6 + 2) = xy + 67
xy + 2x + 3y + 6 = xy + 67
2x + 3y = 67 – 6 = 61 2x + 3y = 61…. (ii)
Now, from equation (i), we express the value of x in terms of y as

Putting the value of y in equation (i), we have
3x – 5 x 9 = 6
3x = 6 + 45 = 51
x = 513 = 17
Hence, the length of rectangle = 17 units and breadth of rectangle = 9 units.

According to question,
3x – y = 40 … (i)
and 4x – 2y = 50
or 2x – y = 25 …(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we have


Putting the value of x in equation (i), we have
3 x 15 – y = 40
45 – y = 40
y = 45 – 40 = 5
Hence, total number of questions is x + yi.e., 5 + 15 = 20.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : (i) We have, 2x + 3y = 7
(a – b) x + (a + b) y = 3a + b – 2 … (ii)
Here, a1 = 2, b1 = 3, c1 = 7 and
a2 = a – b, b2 = a + b, c2 = 3a + b – 2
For infinite number of solutions, we have

9a – 7a + 3b – 75 -6 = 0 2a – 45 – 6 = 0 => 2a – 4b = 6
a – 2b = 3 …(iv)
Putting a = 5b in equation (iv), we get
56 – 2b = 3 or 3b = 3 i.e., b = 33 =1
Putting the value of b in equation (ii), we get a = 5(1) = 5
Hence, the given system of equations will have an infinite number of solutions for a = 5 and b = 1.

(ii) We have, 3x + y = 1, 3x + y − 1 = 0 …(i)
(2k – 1) x + (k – 1) y = 2k + 1
(2k – 1) x + (k – 1) y – (2k + 1) = 0 ……(ii)
Here, a1 = 3, b1 = 1, C1 = -1
a2 = 2k – 1, b2 = k – 1, C2 = -(2k + 1)
For no solution, we must have


3k – 2k = 3 – 1 k = 2
