\(\sqrt{2}\)x + \(\sqrt{3}\)y = 0 ….(1)
\(\sqrt{3}\)x – \(\sqrt{2}\)y = 0 ….(2)
From equation (2)
\(\sqrt{3}\)x = \(\sqrt{2}\)y
x = \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}\)y
Putting this value of x in equation (1)
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 6
Hence, x = 0, y = 0

Write the solution of the pair of linear equations 4x + 2y = 5 and x – 2y = 0
Solution:
Pair of linear equations
4x + 2y = 5 …. (1)
and x – 2y = 0 …. (2)
From equation (2) we get
x = 2y
putting this value x = 2y in equation (1) then we get
4(2y) + 2y = 5
⇒ 8y + 2y = 5 ∴10y = 5
or y = \(\frac{5}{10}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
putting this value y =1/2 in equation (2) then we get
x – 2 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 0 ∴ x – 1 = 0
or x = 1
so the required solution of the pair of linear equations is
x = 1 and y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Short Answer Type Questions—

Question 1.
A two-digit number in such that the product of its digits is 12. When 36 is added to this number, then the digits of the number are interchanged. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the ten’s digit and the unit’s digit be x and y respectively. So the number = 10x + y
According to the question
x × y = 12 ….(1)
and 10x + y + 36 = 10y + x ….(2)
or 9x – 9y = – 36
⇒ x – y = – 4 …(3)
From equation (3)
(x – y)2 = x2 + y2 – 2xy
⇒ (-4)2 = x2 + y2 – 2xy
⇒ x2 + y2 = 16 + 24 = 40
Again (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy
= 40 + 2 × 12
⇒ (x + y)2 – 64
⇒ x + y = \(\sqrt{64}\) = ± 8 ….(4)
From equation (3) and (4)
x = 2 and y = 6
Hence the required number will be 26.

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables

Question 2.
The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. Four times this number is seven times the number formed by reversing the digits of the number. Find that number.
Solution:
Let the ten’s digit be x and the unit’s digit be y
Then required number = 10x + y
According to the question
x + y = 9 ….(1)
Again according to the question
4(10x + y) = 7(10y + x)
⇒ 40x + 4y = 70y + 7x
⇒ 33x – 66y = 0
⇒ x – 2y = 0 ….(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1)
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 7
Putting the value of y in equation (2)
x – 2 × 3 = o
⇒ x = 6
Hence required number = 10x + y
= 10 × 6 + 3 = 60 + 3
= 63

Question 3.
The number of teachers in a government college and a private college in a town is 210. When 10 teachers from private college resign and join government college then the number of teachers in both the colleges becomes the same. Find the number of teachers in each college.
Solution:
Let the number of teachers in government college = x
and the number of teachers in private college = y
Then according to the question
x + y = 210 …(1)
and (x + 10) = (y – 10)
⇒ x – y = – 20 ….(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2)
2x = 190
⇒ x= \(\frac{190}{2}\) = 95
Putting the value of x in equation (1)
93 + y = 210
⇒ y = 210 – 95 = 115
Hence the number of teachers in government college is 95 and in private college is 115.

Question 4.
The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 7. On reversing the order of the digits the number obtained is a more than the original number. Find that number.
Solution:
Let in the number the ten’s digit = x
and the unit’s digit = y
Then the given number = (10x + y)
The number on reversing the order of the digits = (10y + x)
According to the question
x + y = 7
or x + y – 7 = 0
and (10x + y) + 9 = 10y
or 10x + y + 9 = 10y
or 9x + 9 = 9y
or x – y + 1 = 0
Solving equations (1) and (2)
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 8
Putting the value y = 4 in equation (1)
x + 4 – 7 = 0
⇒ x – 3 = 0
⇒ x = 3
∴ Required number = 10x + y
= 10 × 3 + 4
= 30 + 4 = 34

Question, 5.
6 years hence the age of a man will be 3 times the age of his son and 3 years ago he was 9 times the age of his son. Find their present ages.
Solution:
Let the present ages of the man and his son be reprectively x years and y years.
Age of father 6 years hence = (x + 6) years
and age of son 6 years hence = (y + 6) years
Hence according to the question
x + 6 = 3(y + 6)
⇒ x + 6 = 3y + 18
or x – 3y = 12 ….(1)
Again 3 years ago the ages of the father and the son will be respectively (x – 3) years and (y – 3) years.
Hence according to the question x – 3 = 9(y – 3)
⇒ x – 3 = 9y – 27
⇒ x – 9y = – 24 ….(2)
Now writing both the equations
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 9
Putting the value of y in equations (1)
x – 3 × 6 = 12
⇒ x – 18 = 12
⇒ x = 12 + 18 = 30
Hence age of father = 30 years
and age of son = 6 years

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables

Question 6.
Aftab says to his daughter, ‘seven years ago I was of an age seven times of you. 3 years hence from now I shall be of an age only three times of you.’ (Is it interesting?) Express this situation in algebraic and graphical form.
Solution:
Let the age (in years) of Aftab and his daughter be respectively s and t. Then the pair of linear equations are
s – 7 = 7 (t – 7)
i.e., s – 7t + 42 = 0 ….(1)
and s + 3 = 3 (t + 3)
i.e., s – 3t = 6 …(2)
Using equation (2)
s = 3t + 6
Putting the value of s in equation (1)
(31 + 6) – 7t + 42 = 0
i.e., 4t = 48, so that t = 12
Putting this value of t in equation (2)
s – 3 × 12 = 6
⇒ s – 36 = 6
∴ s = 6 + 36 = 42
Hence, Aftab and his daughter are of age 42 years and 12 years respectively.

Question 7.
Two rails are represented by the equation x + 2y – 4 = 0 and 2x + 4y – 12 = 0. Will the rails intersect each other?
Solution:
According to the question the linear equations are
x + 2y – 4 = 0 ….(1)
2x + 4y – 1 2 = 0 …(2)
From equation (1) expressing x in terms of y
x = 4 – 2y
Now, substituting this value of x in equation (2)
2 (4 – 2y) + 4y – 12 = 0
or 8 – 12 = 0
or -4 = 0
Which is a false statement.
Hence, there is no common solution of the given equations. Therefore, both the rails will not intersect each other.

Question 8.
For what values of p, the following pair of equations has a unique solution
4x + py + 8 = 0
2x + 2y + 2 = 0
Solution:
Here a1 = 4. a2 = 2, b1 = p, b2 = 2
Now for a unique solution of the given pair
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 10
Hence, for each value of p except 4, the given pair of equations will have a unique solution.

Question 9.
Show graphically that the following pair of equations 2x + 4y = 10; 3x + 6y = 12 has no solution.
Solution:
From equation
2x + 4y= 10
4y= 10 – 2x
or y = \(\frac{10-2 x}{4}\)

x 1 – 3 3
y 2 4 1

From equation
3x + 6y = 12
y = \(\frac{12-3 x}{6}\)

x 0 2 – 2
y 2 1 3

Plotting the points (1, 2), (- 3, 4) and (3, 1) and joining we get the graph AB of the equation 2x + 4y =10 and plotting the points (0, 2), (2, 1) and (-2, 3) and joining we get the graph CD of the equation 3x + 6y= 12. These two lines are mutually parallel. Hence the given pair of equations is inconsistent and it has no solution.

x + 3y = 6
and 2x – 3y = 12
are consistent. It in then, solve graphically.
OR
Solve the following linear equations graphically
x + 3y = 6
2x – 3y = 12

Let us form tables from the first equation
x + 3y = 6
or 3y = 6 – x
∴ y = \(\frac{6-x}{3}\)

x 0 6
y 2 0

From second equation
2x – 3y = 12
or 2x – 12 = 3y
or y = \(\frac{2x-12}{3}\)

Let us plot the points A(0, 2), B(6, 0), P(0, – 4) and Q(3, – 2) on a graph paper and joining the points lines AB and PQ are drawn as shown in the figure.
We see that the lines AB and PQ have a common point B(6, 0). Hence a solution of the pair of linear equations is x = 6,
y = 0, i.e., the pair of equations is consistent.

Question 2.
Find the solution of the pair of equations 2x – y = 1; x + 2y = 8 by graphical method and find the coordinates of these points where their corresponding lines meet y-axis.
Solution:
Equation 2x – y = 1
So y = 2x – 1

x 1 2 3
y 1 3 5

Equation x + 2y = 8
So y = \(\frac{8-x}{2}\)

x 2 4 6
y 3 2 1

Drawing the graph with the points (1, 1) (2, 3) (3, 5) and the points (2, 3) (4, 2) (6, 1) we find that the point (2, 3) is the point where both the graphs intersect. This is the required solution of the equations. Hence x = 2,y = 3.
The first line intersects the y-axis at point (0, – 1) and the second line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 4).

Question 3.
The sum of a two digit number and the number formed by reversing the digits is 66. If the difference of the digits of the number is 2, then find the number. How many such numbers are there?
Solution:
Let the ten’s digit and the unit’s digit of the first number be A and y respectively. Therefore, the expanded form of the first number is 10x + y. When the digits are reversed, then x becomes the unit’s digit and y the ten’s digit. This number in the expanded form is 10y + x.
According to the given conditions
(10x + y) + (10y + x) = 66
or 11 (x + y) = 66
or x + y = 6 ….(1)
We are also given that the difference of the digits is 2.
Therefore,
either x – y = 2 …(2)
or y – x = 2 …(3)
If x – y = 2, then solving (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get A = 4 and y = 2. In this case, we get the number 42.
If y – x = 2, then solving (1) and (3) by elimination method, we get A = 2 and y = 4. In this case, we get the number 24.
Thus there are two such numbers 42 and 24.
Verification :
Here 42 + 24 = 66 and 4 – 2 – 2
and 24 + 42 = 66 and 4 – 2 = 2

Question 4.

Question 7.
The ratio of the incomes of two persons is 9 : 7 and the ratio of their expenditures is 4 : 3. If each person saves ₹ 2000 each month, then find their monthly incomes.
Solution:
Let the monthly incomes of both the persons be ₹ 9x and ₹ 7x respectively and their monthly expenditures be ₹ 4y and ₹ 3y respectively. Then, in that
situtation the equations formed are
9x – 4y = 2000 ….(1)
and 7x – 3y = 2000 …(2)
Step 1 : To make the coefficients of y equal multiplying equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 4
27x – 12y = 6000 ….(3)
28x – 12y = 8000 …(4)

Step 2 : To eliminate y subtracting equation (3) from equation (4) since the coefficients of y are equal, we get
(28x – 27x) – (12y- 12y) = 8000 – 6000
⇒ x = 2000

Step 3 : Substituting the value of x in (1)
9 (2000) – 4y= 2000
⇒ y = 4000
Hence the solution of the pair of equations is x = 2000, y = 4000. Therefore, the monthly incomes of the persons are respectively ₹ 18,000 and ₹ 14,000.

Question 8.
A boat gives 30 km upstream and 44 km downstream in 10 hours. In 13 hours, it can go 40 km upstream and 55 km downstream. Determine the speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water.
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 19
Solution:
Let the speed of the boat in still water be x km/h and speed of the stream be y km/h. Tfyen the speed of the boat downstream = (x + v) km/h and the speed of the boat upstream = (x – y) km/h
Also, time = \(\frac{\text { distance }}{\text { speed }}\)
In the first case, when the boat goes 30 km upstream. Let the time taken in hours be t1. Then,
t1 = \(\frac{30}{(x-y)}\)
Let t2 be the time in hours taken by the boat to go 44 km downstream. Then,
t2 = \(\frac{44}{(x+y)}\)
The total time taken t1 + t2 = 10 hours
Therefore, \(\frac{30}{(x-y)}\) + \(\frac{44}{(x+y)}\) = 10 ….(1)
In the second case, in 13 hours it can go 40 km upstream and 55 km downstream. Then
\(\frac{40}{(x-y)}\) + \(\frac{55}{(x+y)}\) = 13 ….(2)
Putting \(\frac{1}{(x-y)}\) = u and \(\frac{1}{(x+y)}\) = v …(3)
Substituting these values in equations (1) and (2)
30u + 44v = 10
or 30u + 44v – 10 = 0 ….(4)
40u + 55v = 13
or 40u + 55v – 13 = 0 ….(5)
Using cross-multiplication method,
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 20
or x – y = 5 and x + y = 11 …(6)
Adding these equations
2x = 16
or x = 8
Subtracting equation given in (6)
2y = 6
or y = 3
Hence, the speed of the boat in still water in 8 km/h and the speed of the stream water is 3 km/h.

The coach of a cricket team buys one bat and 3 balls for ₹ 300. Later, she buys another 2 bats of the samekind and 3 balls for ₹ 525. Represent this situation algebraically and solve it by graphical method. Also find for how many rupees can be coach buy one bat and one ball.
Solution:
Let the cost of one bat = ₹ x
and the cost of one ball = ₹ y
Algebraic Form—
According to the first condition of the « problem
x + 2y = 300
According to the second condition of the problem
2x + 3y = 525
∴ Pair of linear equations in two variables
x + 2y = 300
and 2x + 3 y = 525
Graphical Form—
x + 2y = 300
⇒ x = 300 – 2y ….(1)
Substituting y = 0 in (1)
x = 300 – 2 × 0
⇒ x – 300
Substituting y = 75 in (1)
x = 300 – 2 × 75
= 300 – 150
⇒ x = 150
Substituting y = 100 in (2)
x = 300 – 2 × 100
= 300 – 200
⇒ x = 100

x 300 150 100
y 0 75 100

2x + 3y = 525 …(2)
2x = 525 – 3y
x = \(\frac{525-3 y}{2}\)
Substituting y = 25 in (2)
x = \(\frac{525-3 \times 25}{2}\)
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 21

x 225 150 75
y 25 75 125

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 22
On solving graphically x = 150 and y = 75 and the coach will be able to buy a bat and a ball for
= 150 + 75
= ₹ 225

Question 10.
Ashok scored 65 marks in a test, getting 5 marks for each right answer and losing 2 marks for each wrong answer. That 3 marks been awarded for each correct answer and 1 mark been deducted for each incorrect answer, then Ashok would have scored 40 marks. Represent this situation algebraically and solve it graphically. How many questions were there in the test?
Solution:
Let the right answer question be x and the wrong answer questions be y.
Then, according to the first condition of the problem
5x – 2y = 65 ….(1)
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 23
According to the second condition of the problem
3x – y = 40 ….(2)
From equation (1) 5x = 65 + 2y
∴ x = \(\frac{65+2 y}{5}\)

x 13 15 11
y 0 5 -5

Putting y = 0 x = \(\frac{65+0}{5}\) = 13
Putting y = – 5 x = \(\frac{65+10}{5}\) = 15
Putting y = -5 x = \(\frac{65-10}{5}\) = 11
From equation (2)
3x – y = 40
⇒ -y = 40 – 3x
⇒ y = 3x – 40

x 13 15 20
y -10 5 20

Putting x = 10 y – 30 – 40 = – 10
Putting x = 15 y = 45 – 40 = 5
Putting x = 20 y = 60 – 40 = 20
∵ The point of intersection of both the graphs is (15, 5)
So total number of questions = 15 + 5 = 20

Solution:
Let the number of apples denote by x and the number of oranges denote by y according to 1st condition of question.
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 24
5x + 3y = 35
3y = 35 – 3x
∴ y = \(\frac{35-5 x}{3}\) …(1)

Apples (x) 1 4 – 2 7
Oranges (y) 10 5 15 0

According to Ilnd condition of question
2x + 4y – 28
4y = 28 – 2x
∴ y = \(\frac{28-2 x}{4}\) …(2)

Apples (x) 0 14 4 -2
Oranges (y) 7 0 5 8

Drawing the graph with the points (1, 10), (4, 5), (-2, 15), (7, 0) and the points (0, 7), (14, 0) (4, 5) and (-2, 8). We find that the point (4, 5) in the point where both the graphs intersect. This is the required solution of the equations.
Hence x = 4 Apples and y = 5 Oranges.
