EXERCISE:-3.5

QUE :-1. Which of the following pairs of linear equations has unique solution, no solution, or
               infinitely many solutions. In case there is a unique solution, find it by using cross
              multiplication method.
              (i) x – 3y – 3 = 0 ,3x – 9y – 2 = 0 (ii) 2x + y = 5 ,3x + 2y = 8
                (iii) 3x – 5y = 20 ,6x – 10y = 40 (iv) x – 3y – 7 = 0 , 3x – 3y – 15 = 0

   SOL:-

(i) x – 3y – 3 = 0 ,

          3x – 9y – 2 = 0

a1/a2 =1/3 ,b1/b2 =-3/-9=1/3 , c1/c2=-3/-2=3/2

a1/a2 =b1b2 ≠c1/c2

∴ the given set of line will not intersect each other they are parallel to each other the pair of linear equation has            no solution.

(ii) 2x + y = 5 ,

3x + 2y = 8

a1/a2 =2/3 ,b1/b2 =1/2 , c1/c2=-5/-8

a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2

∴ pair of linear equation will intersect each other at an unique point

solution by cross multipication

x/b1c2-b2c1 =y/c1a2-c2a1=1/a1b2-a2b1

x/(-8)-(-10) =y/(-15)-(-16)=1/4-3

x/2 =y/1 =1/1

x/2 =1

x=2

y =1

therefore x=2 and y =1

(iii) 3x – 5y = 20 ,

6x – 10y = 40

a1/a2 =3/6 ,b1/b2 =-5/-10=1/2 , c1/c2=-20/-40=1/2

a1/a2 =b1b2 =c1/c2

therefore the pair line overlaping each other pair of linear equation has  infinitely many solutions.

(iv) x – 3y – 7 = 0 ,

3x – 3y – 15 = 0

a1/a2 =1/3 ,b1/b2 =-3/-3=1/1 , c1/c2=-7/-15=7/15

a1/a2≠b1/b2

∴ pair of linear equation will intersect each other at an unique point

solution by cross multipication

x/b1c2-b2c1 =y/c1a2-c2a1=1/a1b2-a2b1

x/(45)-(21) =y/(-21)-(-15)=1/-3-(-9)

x/24 =y/-6 =1/6

x=4 ,y=-1

QUE:-2. (i) For which values of a and b does the following pair of linear equations have an
              infinite number of solutions?
              2x + 3y = 7
             (a – b) x + (a + b) y = 3a + b – 2
           (ii) For which value of k will the following pair of linear equations have no solution?
              3x + y = 1
            (2k – 1) x + (k – 1) y = 2k + 1

 SOL:-

(i)   2x + 3y = 7
     (a – b) x + (a + b) y = 3a + b – 2

  (a – b) x + (a + b) y -(3a + b – 2) = 0

a1/a2=b1/b2=c1/c2

2/(a – b) =3/(a + b) =7/(3a + b – 2)

2/(a – b) =7/(3a + b – 2)

6a +2b -4 = 7a -7b

a -9b =-4 …………………….(1)

2/(a – b) =3/(a + b)

2a +2b =3a -3b

a -5b =0………………….(2)

substracting equ.(1) and equ.(2)

a -9b =-4

  -a +5b =0

-4b = -4

b = 1

putting the value of b in equ.(1)

a -9 =-4

a = 5

a=5 and b= 1 is the solution for which pair of linear equ. give infinite number of solutions .

(ii)         3x + y -1=
(2k – 1) x + (k – 1) y -2k + 1=  0

a1/a2=b1/b2=c1/c2

3/(2k-1)=1/(k-1) =-1/-2k +1 = 1/2k -1

3/(2k-1) = 1/2k -1

6k -3 =2k -1

k = -4/-2=2

for k = 2 the linear equ.has no solution .

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

SOL :-

    8x + 5y = 9 …………….(1)
        3x + 2y = 4 ……………..(2)

from the equ. (1) we get

8x + 5y = 9

x= (9 -5y)/8…………….(3)

by substitution value of x in equ.(2)

3(9 -5y)/8 + 2y = 4

27-15y +16y =32

y=32-27

y=5

putting the value of y in equ. (3)

x= (9 -5y)/8 = (9-25)/8=-2

so the value of x =-2 and value of y=5

By cross multypication 

  8x + 5y -9= 0

  3x + 2y -4= 0

x/b1c2-b2c1 =y/c1a2-c2a1=1/a1b2-a2b1

x/-20-(-18)=y/-27 -(-32) =1/16-15

x/-2=y/5=1/1

x=-2

y=5

QUE:-4. Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions (if
          they exist) by any algebraic method :

(i) 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 ` 1000 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.
(ii) A fraction becomes1/3when 1 is subtracted from the numerator and it becomes
    1/4when 8 is added to its denominator. Find the fraction.
(iii) Yash scored 40 marks in a test, getting 3 marks for each right answer and losing 1
    mark for each wrong answer. Had 4 marks been awarded for each correct answer
    and 2 marks been deducted for each incorrect answer, then Yash would have
    scored 50 marks. How many questions were there in the test?
(iv) Places A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and another
     from B at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds,
     they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What
     are the speeds of the two cars?
(v) The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 9 square units, if its length is reduced by
   5 units and breadth is increased by 3 units. If we increase the length by 3 units and
   the breadth by 2 units, the area increases by 67 square units. Find the dimensions
   of the rectangle.

SOL:-

(i) let the fix charge is of hostel= xrs

and the charge of food in hostel = yrs/day

according to the que.

charge for 20 day =x +20y = 1000……………(1)

charge for 26 days= x +26y =1180……………(2)

subtracting equ.(1) from equ.(2)

x +26y =1180

-x -20y = -1000

6y =180

y=180/6=30

putting the value of y in equ. (1)

x +20y = 1000

x  + 20 ×30 =1000

x = 400

the fix charge is of hostel= 400rs

and the charge of food in hostel = 30rs/day

(ii) let the fraction is x/y

according to the que.

x-1/y =1/3

3x -3 =y

3x -y =3………….(1)

and x/y+8 =1/4

4x =y +8

4x -y =8…………….(2)

substracting equ.(1) from equ.(2)

4x -y =8

-3x +y =-3

x = 5

putting the value of x in equ. (1)

3×5 -y =3

– y = 3-15

y = 12

so the fraction is 5/12

(iii) let number of correct answer is =x

and number of wrong answer is =y

according to the quetion

3x – y =40……………..(1)

and , 4x -2y =50

2x -y =25…………..(2)

substracting equ.(2) from equ. (1)

3x – y =40

-2x +y =-25

x  = 15

putting the value of x in equ.(1)

3×15 – y =40

45 -y = 40

-y = 40-45

-y = -5

y =5

so the total number of quetion in test is x +y =20

(iv) let the speed of first car is =x km/h

and speed of scond car is =y km/h

when cars  move in same direction =(x-y) km/h

when cars  move in opposite direction =(x+y)km/h

according to the que

5(x-y) =100

x-y =20……..(1)

1(x+y) =100

x +y =100………(2)

substracting equ. (1) from equ.(2)

x +y =100

-x+y =-20

2y =80

y =40

putting the value of y in equ. (1)

x-y =20

x =60

the speed of first car is =60 km/h

and speed of scond car is =40km/h

(v) let the length of rectangle is =x

and the breadth of rectangle is= y

area of rectangle =xy

according to the que.

(x-5)(y+3) =xy -9

3x -5y -6 =0 …………..(1)

(x+3)(y+2) =xy +67

2x -3y -61 =0 …………(2)

by cross multyplication

x/b1c2-b2c1 =y/c1a2-c2a1=1/a1b2-a2b1

x/305-(-18)=y/-12-(-183)=1/9-(-10)

x/323=y/171=1/19

x =17 ,y=9

hence the length of rectangle is =17

and the breadth of rectangle is= 9
