10th Class Maths 4th Lesson Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables InText Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Solve the following systems of equations: i) x – 2y = 0; 3x + 4y = 20     (Page No. 79)
i) x – 2y = 0;                                                                         3x + 4y = 20
-2y = -x                                                                               4y = 20 – 3x
y = $$\frac{x}{2}$$                                                                                      y = $$\frac{20-3x}{4}$$

The two lines meet at (4, 2).
The solution set is {(4, 2)}

ii) x + y = 2
2x + 2y = 4
x + y = 2
2x + 2y = 4

These two are coincident lines.
∴ There are infinitely many solutions.

iii) 2x – y = 4
4x – 2y = 6
2x – y = 4                                                                                4x – 2y = 6
⇒ y = 2x – 4                                                                           ⇒ 2y = 4x – 6 ⇒ y = 2x – 3

These two are parallel lines.
∴ The pair of linear equations has no solution.

Question 2.
Two rails of a railway track are represented by the equations.
x + 2y – 4 = 0 and 2x + 4y – 12 = 0. Represent this situation graphically.    (Page No. 79)
x + 2y – 4 = 0                                                                     2x + 4y – 12 = 0
2y = 4 – x                                                                         4y = 12 – 2x (or) 4y = 2 (6 – x)
y = $$\frac{4-x}{2}$$                                                                                  y = $$\frac{6-x}{2}$$
x + 2y – 4 = 0                                                                     2x + 4y – 12 = 0

These lines are parallel and hence no solution.

Question 3.
Check each of the given systems of equations to see if it has a unique solution, infinitely many solutions or no solution. Solve them graphically. (Page No. 83)
i) 2x + 3y = 1
3x – y = 7
Let a1x + b1y – c1 = 0 ≃ 2x + 3y – 1 = 0
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 ≃ 3x – y – 7 = 0
Now comparing their coefficients i.e., $$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$$ and $$\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$$
⇒ $$\frac{2}{3}$$ ≠ $$\frac{3}{-1}$$
The given lines are intersecting lines.
2x + 3y = 1                                                                     3x – y = 7
3y = 1 – 2x                                                                      y – 3x = 7
y = $$\frac{1-2x}{3}$$

The system of equations has a unique solution (2, – 1).

ii) x + 2y = 6
2x + 4y = 12
From the given pair of equations,
$$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{1}{2}$$;
$$\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{2}{4}$$ = $$\frac{1}{2}$$;
$$\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{6}{12}$$ = $$\frac{1}{2}$$
∴ $$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$$
∴ The lines are dependent and have infinitely many solutions.
x + 2y = 6                                                                          2x + 4y = 12
2y = 6 – x                                                                          4y = 12 – 2x (or) 4y = 2(6 – x)
y = $$\frac{6-x}{2}$$                                                                             y = $$\frac{12-2x}{4}$$ or y = $$\frac{6-x}{2}$$

iii) 3x + 2y = 6
6x + 4y = 18
From the given pair of equations,
$$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{3}{6}$$ = $$\frac{1}{2}$$;
$$\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{2}{4}$$ = $$\frac{1}{2}$$;
$$\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{6}{18}$$ = $$\frac{1}{3}$$
∴ $$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$$
∴ The lines are parallel and hence no solution.
3x + 2y = 6                                                                                   6x + 4y = 18
2y = 6 – 3x                                                                                    4y = 18 – 6x
y = $$\frac{6-3x}{2}$$                                                                                    y = $$\frac{18-6x}{4}$$

Question 6.
In the example given above, can you find the cost of each bat and ball?    (Page No. 79)
We can’t find the exact values for the costs of bat and ball as there are infinitely many possibilities.

Question 7.
For what value of ‘p’ the following pair of equations has a unique solution.     (Page No. 83)
2x + py = – 5 and 3x + 3y = – 6
Given: 2x + py = – 5

If the lines are to be coincident with each other, then

Solve each pair of equations by using the substitution method. (Page No. 88)
Question 1.
3x – 5y = -1
x – y = -1
Given: 3x – 5y = -1 ……. (1)
x – y = -1 …….. (2)
From equation (2), x – y = – 1
x = y – 1
Substituting x = y – 1 in equation (1)
we get
3 (y – 1) – 5y = – 1
⇒ 3y – 3 – 5y = r 1
⇒ – 2y = – 1 + 3
⇒ 2y = – 2
⇒ y = -1
Substituting y = – 1 in equation (1) we get
3x – 5 (- 1) = -1
3x + 5 = – 1
3x = – 1 – 5
x = $$\frac{-6}{3}$$ = -2
∴ The solution is (-2, -1)

Question 2.
x + 2y = – 1
2x – 3y = 12
Given: x + 2y = -1 ……. (1)
2x – 3y = 12 …….. (2)
From equation (1)x + 2y = -l
⇒ x = – 1 – 2y
Substituting x = – 1 – 2y in equation (2), we get
2 (- 1 – 2y) – 3y = 12
– 2 – 4y – 3y = 12
– 2 – 7y = 12
7y = – 2 – 12
∴ y = $$\frac{-14}{7}$$ = -2
Substituting y = – 2 in equation (1), we get
x + 2 (- 2) = – 1
x = – 1 + 4
x = 3
∴ The solution is (3, – 2)

Question 3.
2x + 3y = 9
3x + 4y = 5
Given: 2x + 3y – 9 …….. (1)
3x + 4y = 5 ……. (2)
From equation (1);
2x = 9 – 3y
x = $$\frac{9-3y}{2}$$
Substituting x = $$\frac{9-3y}{2}$$ in equation (2)
we get

Substituting y = + 17 in equation (1) we get
2x + 3 (+ 17) = 9
⇒ 2x = 9 – 51
⇒ 2x = -42
⇒ x = -21
∴ The solution is (-21, 17)

Question 4.
x + $$\frac{6}{y}$$ = 6
3x – $$\frac{8}{y}$$ = 5
Given:
x + $$\frac{6}{y}$$ = 6 …….. (1)
3x – $$\frac{8}{y}$$ = 5 …….. (2)
From equation (1) x = 6 – $$\frac{6}{y}$$
Substituting x = 6 – $$\frac{6}{y}$$ in equation (2)
we get

Substituting y = 2 in equation (1) we get
x + $$\frac{6}{2}$$ = 6 ⇒ x + 3 = 6
∴ x = 3
∴ The solution is (3, 2)

Question 5.
0.2x + 0.3y =1.3
0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3
Given:
0.2x + 0.3y = 1.3
⇒ 2x + 3y = 13 …… (1)
0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3
⇒ 4x + 5y = 23 …… (2)
From equation (1)
2x = 13 – 3y
⇒ x = $$\frac{13-3y}{2}$$
Substituting x = $$\frac{13-3y}{2}$$ equation (2) we get
$$\frac{13-3y}{2}$$ + 5y = 23
⇒ 26 – 6y + 5y = 23
⇒ -y + 26 = 23
⇒ y = 26 — 23 = 3
Substituting y = 3 in equaion (1) we get
2x + 3(3) = 13
⇒ 2x + 9 = 13
⇒ 2x = 13 – 9
⇒ 2x = 4
⇒ x = $$\frac{4}{2}$$ = 2
∴ The solution is (2, 3)

Question 6.
√2x + √3y = 0
√3x – √8y = 0
Given:
√2x + √3y = 0 ……. (1)
√3x – √8y = 0 ……. (2)
Substitute x = 0 in (1),
√2(0) + √3y = 0
√3y = 0
∴ y = 0
∴ The solution is x = 0, y = 0
Note: a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, if c1 = c2 = 0
then, x = 0, y = 0 is a solution.
