Question 1:

If in a rectangle, the length is increased and breadth reduced each by 2 units, the area is reduced by 28 square units. If, however the length is reduced by 1 unit and the breadth increased by 2 units, the area increases by 33 square units. Find the area of the rectangle.

Answer:

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be and units respectively

Then, area of rectangle square units

If length is increased and breadth reduced each by units, then the area is reduced by square units

    x + 2 y - 2 = xy - 28xy - 2x + 2y - 4 = xy - 28-2x + 2y - 4 + 28 = 0-2x + 2y + 24 = 02x - 2y - 24 = 0

Therefore,

Then the length is reduced by unit and breadth is increased by units then the area is increased by square units

     x - 1 y + 2 = xy + 33xy + 2x - y - 2 = xy + 332x - y -2 -33 = 02x - y -35 = 0
 

Therefore, 2x - y - 35 = 0    .....ii

Question 34:

Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solution graphically:

(i) 10 students of class X took part in Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and girls who took part in the quiz.

(ii) 5 pencils and 7 pens together  cost Rs 50, whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs 46. Find the cost of one pencil and a pen.

(iii) Champa went to a 'sale' to purchase some pants and skirts. When her friends asked her how many of each she had bought, she answered, "The number of skirts is two less than twice the number of pants purchased. Also the number of skirts is four less than four times the number of pants purchased." Help her friends to find how many pants and skirts Champa bought.

Answer:

(i) Let the number of girls be x and the number of boys be y.

According to the question, the algebraic representation is

x + y = 10

xy = 4

For x + y = 10,

x = 10 − y 

x 5 4 6
y 5 6 4

For xy = 4,

x = 4 + y

x 5 4 3
y 1 0 1

Hence, the graphic representation is as follows.

 

From the figure, it can be observed that these lines intersect each other at point (7, 3).

Therefore, the number of girls and boys in the class are 7 and 3 respectively.

(ii) Let the cost of 1 pencil be Rs x and the cost of 1 pen be Rs y.

According to the question, the algebraic representation is

5x + 7y = 50

7x + 5y = 46

For 5x + 7y = 50,

x 3 10 4
y 5 0 10

7x + 5y = 46

x 8 3 2
y 2 5 12

Hence, the graphic representation is as follows.

From the figure, it can be observed that these lines intersect each other at point (3, 5).

Therefore, the cost of a pencil and a pen are Rs 3 and Rs 5 respectively.

(iii) Let us denote the number of pants by x and the number of skirts by y. Then the equations formed are :

y = 2x − 2 … (i)

y = 4x − 4 … (ii)

The graphs of the equations (i) and (ii) can be drawn by finding two solutions for each of the equations. They are given in the following table.

x 2 0
y = 2x 2 2 2

Hence, the graphic representation is as follows.

The two lines intersect at the point (1, 0). So, x = 1, y = 0 is the required solution of the pair of linear equations, i.e., the number of pants she purchased is 1 and she did not buy any skirt.

Abdul travelled 300 km by train and 200 km by taxi, it took him 5 hours 30 minutes. But if he travels 260 km by train and 240 km by taxi he takes 6 minutes longer. Find the speed of the train and that of the taxi.

Answer:

Let the speed of the train be x km/hour that of the taxi be y km/hr, we have the following cases

Case I: When Abdul travels 300 Km by train and the 200 Km by taxi

Time taken by Abdul to travel 300 Km by train =

Time taken by Abdul to travel 200 Km by taxi =

Total time taken by Abdul to cover 500 Km =

It is given that total time taken in 5 hours 30 minutes

Case II: When Abdul travels 260 Km by train and the 240 km by taxi

Time taken by Abdul to travel 260 Km by train =

Time taken by Abdul to travel 240 Km by taxi =

In this case total time of the journey is 5 hours 36 minutes

Putting and, , the equations and reduces to

Multiplying equation by 6 the above system of equation becomes

Subtracting equation from we get

Putting in equation, we get

Now

and

Hence, the speed of the train is ,

The speed of the taxi is .

Question 15:

A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train could have been 10 km/hr. faster, it would have taken 2 hours less than the scheduled time. And, if the train were slower by 10 km/hr; it would have taken 3 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the distance covered by the train.

Answer:

Let the actual speed of the train be and the actual time taken by y hours. Then,

Distance covered=

If the speed is increased by, then time of journey is reduced by 2 hours

when speed is , time of journey is

Distance covered=

When the speed is reduced by, then the time of journey is increased by when speed is, time of journey is

Distance covered=

Thus, we obtain the following system of equations:

By using cross multiplication, we have

Putting the values of x and y in equation (i), we obtain

Distance=

Hence, the length of the journey is .

Question 16:

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 two cars.

Answer:

Let x and y be two cars starting from points A and B respectively.

Let the speed of the car X be x km/hr and that of the car Y be y km/hr.

Case I: When two cars move in the same directions:

Suppose two cars meet at point Q, then,

Distance travelled by car X=AQ

Distance travelled by car Y=BQ

It is given that two cars meet in 5 hours.

Distance travelled by car X in 5 hours =km AQ=

Distance travelled by car Y in 5 hours =km BQ=

Clearly AQ-BQ = AB

Both sides divided by 5, we get

Case II: When two cars move in opposite direction

Suppose two cars meet at point P, then,

Distance travelled by X car X=AP

Distance travelled by Y car Y=BP

In this case, two cars meet in 1 hour

Therefore, 

Distance travelled by car y in1 hours = km

Distance travelled by car y in 1 hours = km

By solving (i) and (ii) we get,

By substituting in equation (ii), we get

Hence, speed of car X is , speed of car Y is.
