Question 1:
Complete the following activity to solve the simultaneous equations.
5x + 3y = 9 -----(I)
2x + 3y = 12 ----- (II)
Answer:
Disclaimer: There is error in the Q. In (II) there should have been 2x 3y = 12
5x + 3y = 9 -----(I)
2x 3y = 12 ----- (II)
Add (I) and (II)
7x = 21
x = 3
Putting the value of x = 3 in (I) we get
Thus, (x, y) = (3, 6).

(8) 49x – 57y = 172; 57x – 49y = 252
Answer:
(1) 3a + 5b = 26; .....(I)
a + 5b = 22 .....(II)
Subtracting (II) from (I)
2a = 4
a = 2
Putting the value of a = 2 in (II)

Thus, a = 2 and b = 4.
(2) x + 7y = 10; .....(I)
3x – 2y = 7 .....(II)
Multiplying (I) with 3
3x + 21y = 30; .....(III)
3x – 2y = 7 .....(IV)
Subtracting (IV) from (III) we get
23y = 23
y = 1
Putting the value of y in (IV) we get
3x – 2 = 7
3x = 7 + 2 = 9
3x = 9
x = 3
Thus, (x, y) = (3, 1)
(3) 2x – 3y = 9 .....(I)
2x + y = 13 .....(II)
Subtracting (II) from (I) we get
– 3y − y = 9 − 13
Putting this value in (I) we get

Thus, (m, n) = (5, 2).
(5) 5x + 2y = –3 .....(I)
x + 5y = 4 .....(II)
Multiply (II) with 5 we get
5x + 25y = 20 .....(III)
Subtracting (III) from (I) we get
Putting the value of y = 1 in (II) we get
Thus, (x, y) = (−1, 1)
(6)
Multiply (I) with 3 and (II) with 4
Multiply (IV) with 3
24x + 3y = 33 .....(V)
Subtracting (V) from (III)

Question 5:
Two types of boxes A, B are to be placed in a truck having capacity of 10 tons. When 150 boxes of type A and 100 boxes of type B are loaded in the truck, it weighes 10 tons. But when 260 boxes of type A are loaded in the truck, it can still accommodate 40 boxes of type B, so that it is fully loaded. Find the weight of each type of box.
Answer:
Let the weight of box A be x and that of box B be y.
When 150 boxes of type A and 100 boxes of type B are loaded in the truck, it weighes 10 tons i.e 10000 kg.
So,
When 260 boxes of type A are loaded in the truck, it can still accommodate 40 boxes of type B, so that it is fully loaded.
Subtracting (I) from (II) we get
Thus, weight of box A = 30 kg and that of box B = 55 kg.

Answer:
We know
Average speed of bus = 60km/h.
Let the time taken in bus be x hours.
Average speed of bus = 700km/h.
Let the time taken in bus be y hours.
Total distance covered = 1900 km
It takes 5 hours to complete the journey so,
Multiplying (II) with 3
Subtracting (III) from (I) we get
Putting the value of y = 2.5 in (II) we get
Distance travelled by Vishal by bus = .

(2) Kantabai bought kg tea and 5 kg sugar from a shop. She paid Rs 50 as return fare for rickshaw. Total expense was Rs 700. Then she realised that by ordering online the goods can be bought with free home delivery at the same price. So next month she placed the order online for 2 kg tea and 7 kg sugar. She paid Rs 880 for that. Find the rate of sugar and tea per kg.

(5) In a factory the ratio of salary of skilled and unskilled workers is 5 : 3. Total salary of one day of both of them is Rs 720. Find daily wages of skilled and unskilled workers.
(6) Places A and B are 30 km apart and they are on a st raight road. Hamid travels from A to B on bike. At the same time Joseph starts from B on bike, travels towards A. They meet each other after 20 minutes. If Joseph would have started from B at the same time but in the opposite direction (instead of towards A) Hamid would have caught him after 3 hours. Find the speed of Hamid and Joseph.
Answer:
(1) Let the number at the unit's place be x and the digit at the ten's place be y.
The number is thus 10y + x
After interchanging the digits the number becomes 10x + y.
Given that two digit number and the number with digits interchanged add up to 143.
So, 10y + x + 10x + y = 143
Also, in the given number the digit in unit’s place is 3 more than the digit in the ten’s place.
So,
Adding (I) and (II) we get
Putting the value of x in (I) we get
Thus, the number is 58.
(2) Let the rate of tea be x Rs per kg and that of sugar be y Rs per kg.
When Kantabai bought the items by going to the shop,
When Kantabai bought the items online then
Multiplying (I) with 2 and (II) with 3 we get
(IV) (III)
Putting the value of y = 40 in (II)
Thus, tea is at 300 Rs per kg and sugar is 40 Rs per kg.
(3) Disclaimer: There is error in the question given. Instead of Rs 10 notes there should be Rs 100 notes.
Let the number of notes of Rs 100 be x and that of Rs 50 be y.
When number of notes is interchanged so,
Multiply (I) with 2
Subtracting (III) from (II) we get
Putting the value of x in (I) we get
Thus, there are 20 Rs 100 notes and 10 Rs 50 notes.
(4) Let the present age of Manish be x years and that of Savita be y years.
Sum of their present ages = 31
Their age 3 years ago was
Manish's age =
Savita's age =
Manish’s age 3 years ago was 4 times the age of Savita.
(I) (II) we get
Putting the value of y in (I) we get
Thus, age of Manish is 23 years and age of Savita is 8 years.
(5) Ratio of salary of skilled to unskilled workers = 5 : 3
Let one day salary of skilled person be x and that of unskilled person be y.
Their total one day salary Rs 720
Also,
Multiplying (I) with 3 we get
(III) (II)
Putting value of y in (I) we get
One day salary of skilled person Rs 450 and that of unskilled person Rs 270.
(6) Let the speed of Hamid be x km/h and that of Joseph be y km/h.
When both travel in same direction so, the distance covered by them together will be 30 km.
We know
They meet each other after 20 min = hours
When Joseph started from point B but moved in opposite direction.
Distance travelled by Hamid Distance travelled by Joseph = 30
Adding (I) and (II) we get
Putting the value of x in (II) we get
Thus, speed of Hamid is 50 km/h and that of Joseph is 40 km/h.
