Linear Equations in Two Variables @D!

1) The linear equation 3x-11y=10 has:


a. Unique solution
b. Two solutions
c. Infinitely many solutions
d.No solutions
Answer: c
Explanation: 3x-11y=10
y=(3x-10)/11
Now for infinite values of x, y will also have the infinite solutions.
2) 3x+10 = 0 will has:
a. Unique solution
b. Two solutions
c. Infinitely many solutions
d.No solutions
Answer: a
Explanation: 3x+10 = 0
x = -10/3.
Hence, only one solution is possible.
3) The solution of equation x-2y = 4 is:
a. (0,2)
b. (2,0)
c. (4,0)
d. (1,1)
Answer: c
Explanation: Putting x=4 and y = 0, on the L.H.S. of the given equation, we get;
4-2(0) = 4 – 0 = 4
Which is equal to R.H.S.
4) Find the value of k, if x = 1, y = 2 is a solution of the equation 2x + 3y = k.
a. 5
b. 6
c. 7
d. 8
Answer: d
Explanation: 2x + 3y = k
k=2(1)+3(2) = 2+6 = 8
5) Point (3, 4) lies on the graph of the equation 3y = kx + 7. The value of k is:
a. 4/3
b. 5/3
c. 3
d. 7/3
Answer: b
Explanation: 3y = kx + 7
Here, x = 3 and y = 4
Hence,
(3×4) = (kx3) + 7
12 = 3k+7
3k = 12–7
3k = 5
k = 5/3
6) The graph of linear equation x+2y = 2, cuts the y-axis at:
a. (2,0)
b. (0,2)
c. (0,1)
d. (1,1)
Answer: c
Explanation: x+2y = 2
y = (2-x)/2
If x=0, then;
y=(2-0)/2 = 2/2 = 1
Hence, x+3y=2 cuts the y-axis at (0,1).

1.The pairs of equations x+2y-5 = 0 and -4x-8y+20=0 have:


(a)Unique solution
(b)Exactly two solutions
(c)Infinitely many solutions
(d)No solution
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
a /a = 1/-4
1 2
b /b = 2/-8 = 1/-4
1 2
c /c = -5/20 = -¼
1 2
This shows:
a /a = b /b = c /c
1 2 1 2 1 2
Therefore, the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions.
2. If a pair of linear equations is consistent, then the lines are:
(a)Parallel
(b)Always coincident
(c)Always intersecting
(d)Intersecting or coincident
Answer: d
Explanation: Because the two lines definitely have a solution.
3. The pairs of equations 9x + 3y + 12 = 0 and 18x + 6y + 26 = 0 have
(a)Unique solution
(b)Exactly two solutions
(c)Infinitely many solutions
(d)No solution
Answer: d
Explanation: Given, 9x + 3y + 12 = 0 and 18x + 6y + 26 = 0
a /a = 9/18 = 1/2
1 2
b /b = 3/6 = 1/2
1 2
c /c = 12/26 = 6/13
1 2
Since, a /a = b /b ≠ c /c
1 2 1 2 1 2
So, the pairs of equations are parallel and the lines never intersect each other at any
point, therefore there is no possible solution.
4. If the lines 3x+2ky – 2 = 0 and 2x+5y+1 = 0 are parallel, then what is the value of k?
(a)4/15
(b)15/4
(c)
(d)5/4
Answer: (b)
Explanation: The condition for parallel lines is:
a /a = b /b ≠ c /c
1 2 1 2 1 2
Hence, 3/2 = 2k/5
k=15/4
5. If one equation of a pair of dependent linear equations is -3x+5y-2=0. The second
equation will be:
(a)-6x+10y-4=0
(b)6x-10y-4=0
(c)6x+10y-4=0
(d)-6x+10y+4=0
Answer: a
Explanation: The condition for dependent linear equations is:
a /a = b /b = c /c
1 2 1 2 1 2
For option a,
a /a = b /b = c /c = ½
1 2 1 2 1 2
6.The solution of the equations x-y=2 and x+y=4 is:
(a)3 and 1
(b)4 and 3
(c)5 and 1
(d)-1 and -3
Answer: a
Explanation: x-y =2
x=2+y
Substituting the value of x in the second equation we get;
2+y+y=4
2+2y=4
2y = 2
y=1
Now putting the value of y, we get;
x=2+1 = 3
Hence, the solutions are x=3 and y=1.
7. A fraction becomes 1/3 when 1 is subtracted from the numerator and it becomes 1/4
when 8 is added to its denominator. The fraction obtained is:
(a)3/12
(b)4/12
(c)5/12
(d)7/12
Answer: c
Explanation: Let the fraction be x/y
So, as per the question given,
(x -1)/y = 1/3 => 3x – y = 3…………………(1)
x/(y + 8) = 1/4 => 4x –y =8 ………………..(2)
Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get
x = 5 ………………………………………….(3)
Using this value in equation (2), we get,
4×5 – y = 8
y= 12
Therefore, the fraction is 5/12.
8. The solution of 4/x+3y=14 and 3/x-4y=23 is:
(a) and -2
(b)⅓ and ½
(c)3 and ½
(d)2 and ⅓
Answer: a
Explanation: Let 1/x = m
4m + 3y = 14
3m – 4y = 23
By cross multiplication we get;
m/(-69-56) = y/(-42-(-92)) = 1/(-16-9)
m/-125=y/50=-1/25
m/-125 = -1/25 and y/50=-1/25
m=5 and y=-2
m=1/x or x=1/m =

of rowing in still water and the speed of the current is:
(a)6km/hr and 3km/hr
(b)7km/hr and 4km/hr
(c)6km/hr and 4km/hr
(d)10km/hr and 6km/hr
Answer: c
Explanation: Let, Speed of Ritu in still water = x km/hr
Speed of Stream = y km/hr
Now, speed of Ritu, during,
Downstream = x + y km/h
Upstream = x – y km/h
As per the question given,
2(x+y) = 20
Or x + y = 10……………………….(1)
And, 2(x-y) = 4
Or x – y = 2………………………(2)
Adding both the equations, we get,
2x=12
x=6
Putting the value of x in eq.1, we get,
y=4
Therefore,
Speed of Ritu is still water = 6 km/hr
Speed of Stream = 4 km/hr

D=(3y-10)°. The value of x and y is:
(a)x=20° and y = 10°
(b)x=20° and y = 30°
(c)x=44° and y=15°
(d)x=15° and y=15°
Answer: b
Explanation: We know, in cyclic quadrilaterals, the sum of the opposite angles are 180°.
Hence,
A + C = 180°
6x+10+x+y=180 =>7x+y=170°
And B+D=180°
5x+3y-10=180 =>5x+3y=190°
By solving the above two equations we get;
x=20° and y = 30°.
