Question 42 Marks

The sum of a two digit number and the number obtained by reversing the order of its digits is 121. lf units and ten's digit of the number are x ard y respectively, then write the linear equation representing the above statement.

Answer

Total original number is 10y + x.
The new number is obtained after reversing the order of digits is 10x + y.
According to question,
(10y + x) + (10x + y) = 121
⇒ 10y + x 10x + y = 121
⇒ 11x + 11y = 121
⇒ x + y = 11
This is the required linear equation for the given information.

Question 52 Marks

The cost of ball pen is Rs. 5 less than half of the cost of fountain pen. Write this statement as a linear equation in two variables.

Answer

Let the cost of fountain pen be y and cost of ball pen be x.
According to the given equation, we have
$\text{x}=\frac{\text{y}}{2}-5$
⇒ 2x = y - 10
⇒ 2x - y + 10 = 0
Here y is the cost of one fountain pen and x is that of one ball pen.

Question 112 Marks

If the point (2, -2) lies on the graph of the linear equation 5x + ky = 4, find the value of k.

Answer

It is given that (2, -2) is a solution of the equation 5x + ky = 4
$\therefore$ 5 × 2 + k × (-2) = 4
⇒ 10 - 2k = 4
⇒ -2k = 4 - 10
⇒ -2k = -6
$\Rightarrow\text{k}=\frac{6}{2}$
⇒ k = 3

Question 122 Marks

Find the value of $\lambda$ if $\text{x}=-\lambda$ and $\text{y} = \frac{5}{2}$ is a solution of the equation x + 4y - 7 = 0

Answer

We are given, x + 4y - 7 = 0 $(-\lambda, -5)$ is a solution of equation 3x + 4y = k
Substituting $\text{x}=-\lambda$ and $\text{y} = \frac{5}{2}$ in x + 4y - 7 = 0,
We get; $-\lambda+ 4 \times\Big(\frac{5}{2}\Big) - 7 $
$= 0 -\lambda + 4 \times\frac{5}{2} - 7 = 0$
$\lambda = 10 - 7$
$\lambda = 3$

Question 132 Marks

Check the following are solutions of the equation 2x - y = 6 and which are not:
$(\sqrt{3}, 0)$

Answer

We are given, 2x - y = 6
In the equation 2x - y = 6,
We have L.H.S = 2x - y and R.H.S = 6
Substituting $\text{x} = \sqrt3$ and y = 0 in 2x - y,
We get L. H. S $= 2 \times \sqrt3 - 0$
⇒ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S
⇒ $(\sqrt{3}, 0)$ is not a solution of 2x - y = 6.

Answer

Total original number is 10y + x.
The new number is obtained after reversing the order of digits is 10x + y.
According to question,
10y + x = 10x + y + 27
⇒ 9y - 9x = 27
⇒ y - x = 3
