Mathematics
Chapter 4 - Linear Equations in two Variables

Exercise 4.2
1. Which one of the following options is true, and why? y=3x+5 has
(i) A unique solution,
(ii) only two solutions,
(iii) infinitely many solutions
Ans. We are given that =
y 3x + 5 is a linear equation.
● For x = 0 , y = 5 . Therefore, (0,5) is a solution of the equation.
● For x = 1 , y = 8 . Therefore (1,8) is another solution of the equation.
● For x = 2 , y = 11 . Therefore (2,11) is another solution of the equation.
Clearly, for different values of x , we get another distinct value of y .
So, there is no end to different solutions of a linear equation in two
variables. Therefore, a linear equation in two variables has infinitely
many solutions.
Hence (iii) is the correct answer.

2. Write four solutions for each of the following equations:


(i) 2x+y=7
Ans. Given equation 2x + y =
7 , can be written as,
y= 7 − 2x
Let us now take different values of x and substitute in the above equation-
● For x = 0 ,
y=7

So, (0,7) is a solution.
● For x = 1 ,
y=5
So, (1,5) is a solution.
● For x = 2 ,
y=3
So, (2,3) is a solution.
● For x = 3 ,
y =1
So, (3,1) is a solution.
Therefore, the four solutions of 2x + y =
7 are (0,7) , (1,5) , (2,3) , (3,1) .
(ii) πx+y=9
Ans. Given equation πx + y =9 , can be written as,
y = 9 − πx
Let us now take different values of x and substitute in the above equation-
● For x = 0 ,
y=9
So, (0,9) is a solution.
● For x = 1 ,
y= 9 − π
So, (1,9 − π ) is a solution.
● For x = 2 ,
y= 9 − 2π
So, (2,9 − 2π ) is a solution.
● For x = 3 ,
y= 9 − 3π

So, (3,9 − 3π ) is a solution.
Therefore, the four solutions of πx + y =9 are (0,9) , (1,9 − π ) , (2,9 − 2π ) ,
(3,9 − 3π ) .
(iii) x=4y
Ans. Given equation x = 4y .
Let us now take different values of y and substitute in the above equation-
● For y = 0 ,
x=0
So, (0,0) is a solution.
● For y = 1 ,
x=4
So, (4,1) is a solution.
● For y = 2 ,
x =8
So, (8,2) is a solution.
● For y = 3 ,
x = 12
So, (12,3) is a solution.
Therefore, the four solutions of x = 4y are (0,0) , (4,1) , (8,2) , (12,3) .

3. Check which of the following are solutions of the equation


x − 2y =4 and which are not:
(i) (0,2)
Ans. Substituting x = 0 and y = 2 in the L.H.S. of the given
equation x − 2y =4:
⇒ 0 − 2(2)

Class IX Mathematics www.vedantu.com 3


⇒ −4
Since L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. , therefore (0,2) is not a solution of the
equation.
(ii) (2,0)
Ans. Substituting x = 2 and y = 0 in the L.H.S. of the given
equation x − 2y =4:
⇒ 2 − 2(0)
⇒2
Since L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. , therefore (2,0) is not a solution of the
equation.
(iii) (4,0)
Ans. Substituting x = 4 and y = 0 in the L.H.S. of the given
equation x − 2y =4:
⇒ 4 − 2(0)
⇒4
Since L.H.S. = R.H.S. , therefore (4,0) is a solution of the
equation.
(iv) ( 2,4 2)

Ans. Substituting x = 2 and y = 4 2 in the L.H.S. of the given


equation x − 2y = 4:

⇒ 2 − 2(4 2)

⇒ −7 2
Since L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. , therefore ( 2,4 2) is not a solution of
the equation.
(v) (1,1)
Ans. Substituting x = 1 and y = 1 in the L.H.S. of the given
equation x − 2y =4:

Class IX Mathematics www.vedantu.com 4


⇒ 1 − 2(1)
⇒ −1
Since L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S. , therefore (1,1) is not a solution of the
equation.

4. Find the value of k , if x = 2 , y = 1 is a solution of the equation 2x + 3y =


k
Ans. We are given the equation 2x + 3y =
k along with the values x = 2 and y = 1
Substituting the given values in the L.H.S. of the equation:
⇒ 2(2) + 3(1) =
k
⇒4+3=k
⇒k=
7
Therefore, we get k = 7 on solving the equation.
