Answer:





Question 10.

Solve the following simultaneous equation graphically.

3x – y – 2 = 0; 2x + y = 8


Answer:

For equation 1, let's find the points for graph

3x - y - 2 = 0
At x = 0
3(0) - y - 2 = 0
⇒ y = -2

At x = 1
3(1) - y - 2 = 0
⇒ y = 1

At x = 2
3(2) - y - 2 = 0
⇒ 6 - y - 2 = 0
⇒ y =4

Hence, points for graph are (0, -1) (1, 1) and (2, 4)

For equation 2
2x+ y = 8

at x = 0
y =8

at x = 1
2(1) + y = 8
⇒ y = 6

at x =4
2(4) + y = 8
⇒ y = 0

Hence, points for graph are (0, 8) (1, 6) and (4, 0)


From graph, we observe both lines intersect at (2, 4)
hence, x =2 y = 4 is the solution of given pair

Answer:





∴ (x , y) = 



Question 17.

Solve the following equations by Cramer’s method.



Answer:

Let,



⇒ 3x + 3y – 24 = 2x + 4y – 28


⇒ x – y = –4 …(1)


Also,


Let 


⇒ 4x + 8y – 56 = 9x – 3y


⇒ 5x –11y = – 56 …(2)


Hence the two equations are:


x – y = –4 …(1)


5x – 11y = – 56 …(2)


Now,



⇒ D = (–11 -(- 5)) = -6


Also, 


Dx = 44 - 56 = -12


And,



⇒ Dy = –56 + 20 = – 36


Now, 


And, 


Hence, (2, 6) is the solution

A two digit number and the number with digits interchanged add up to 143. In the given number the digit in unit’s place is 3 more than the digit in the ten’s place. Find the original number.

Let the digit in unit’s place is x

and that in the ten’s place is y



The number obtained by interchanging the digits is 

According to first condition two digit number + the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 143



From the second condition,

digit in unit’s place = digit in the ten’s place + 3



Adding equations (I) and (II)



Putting this value of x in equation (I)

x + y = 13



The original number is 10



Answer:

Let the digit in unit’s place is x

and that in the ten’s place is y


∴ the number = 10y+ x


The number obtained by interchanging the digits is 


According to first condition two digit number + the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 143


∴ 


∴ 


∴ 


From the second condition,


digit in unit’s place = digit in the ten’s place + 3


∴ 


∴  ….. (II)


Adding equations (I) and (II)




Putting this value of x in equation (I)


x + y = 13



∴ 


The original number is 10


⇒ 50+8


⇒ 58

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 ₹ 720. Find daily wages of skilled and unskilled workers.


Answer:

Ratio of skilled and unskilled worker’s salary = 5:3

Let it be 5x and 3x


Total of one day’s salary = ₹720


So, 





Skilled worker's wages =  = ₹450.


unskilled worker's wages  = ₹270



Question 28.

Places A and B are 30 km apart and they are on a straight 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:

Let the speed of Joseph = x km/h

Let the speed of Hamid be = y km/h


When approaching each other, combined speed = 


Time taken to meet =
