Overview

• The revision worksheet focuses on pair of linear equations: understanding types of solutions (unique, infinite/coincident, none), solving methods (substitution, elimination, graphical), and applying these concepts to various word/graph problems.
• Key criteria often used: proportionality of coefficients, determinants, and solving systems to verify given solution points.
• All numerical results, formulas, and steps are provided in LaTeX format for clarity.

Foundational concepts

• General form of a pair of linear equations:
  • $a<em>1 x + b</em>1 y = c_1$
  • $a<em>2 x + b</em>2 y = c_2$
• Determinant criterion (Cramer-like view) for a unique solution:
  • $D = a<em>1 b</em>2 - a<em>2 b</em>1 <br />\neq 0 \Rightarrow ext{unique solution}$
• If $D = 0$, the lines are parallel or coincident. Check consistency using determinants Dx and Dy:
  • $D<em>x = c</em>1 b<em>2 - c</em>2 b_1$
  • $D<em>y = a</em>1 c<em>2 - a</em>2 c_1$
  • If $D = 0 ext{ and } D<em>x = 0 ext{ and } D</em>y = 0, ext{ lines are coincident (infinitely many solutions).}$
  • If $D = 0 ext{ but } (D<em>x \neq 0 ext{ or } D</em>y <br />\neq 0), ext{ lines are parallel with no solution.}$
• Coincident lines: second equation is a constant multiple of the first, i.e., there exists $k$ such that $a<em>2 = k a</em>1,\boxed{b<em>2 = k b</em>1},\boxed{c<em>2 = k c</em>1}.$
• Methods for solving: substitution, elimination, or graphical interpretation; check proposed solutions by substitution.
• Applications often involve word problems (ratios, profits, speeds, distances) translated into linear systems.

Q1. Coincident lines

• Given equations:
  • $3x - y = -8$
  • $6x - r y = -16$
• For coincident lines, the second equation must be a scale multiple of the first. With scale $k = 2$ (since $6x$ corresponds to $2 imes 3x$):
  • Coefficient of y: $-r = k(-1) = -2 \Rightarrow r = 2$
  • Check constants: $-16 = k(-8) = -16$ (satisfied)
• Answer: $r = 2$

Q2. Infinitely many solutions

• System:
  • $2x + 3y = 6$
  • $2ax + (a + b)y = 24$
• Infinitely many solutions require the equations to be proportional:
  • There exists $k$ with $2a = k imes 2, \, (a+b) = k imes 3, \, 24 = k imes 6$
  • From $24 = 6k \Rightarrow k = 4$
  • Then $2a = 8 \Rightarrow a = 4$ and $a + b = 12 \Rightarrow b = 8$
• Relationship: $b = 2a$ (consistent with $a=4, b=8$)
• Answer: $a = 4,\, b = 8 ext{ (equivalently }b = 2a ext{)}$

Q3. Pair with a unique solution x = 2, y = -3

• The given options are:
  • (a) $x + y = -1\quad ext{and}\quad 2x - 3y = 5$
  • (b) $2x + 5y = -11\quad ext{and}\quad 4x + 10y = -22$
  • (c) $2x - y = 1\quad ext{and}\quad 3x + 2y = 0$
  • (d) $x - 4y - 14=0\quad ext{and}\quad 5x - y + 13=0$
• Check each for the point (2, -3):
  • (a) LHS1: $2 + (-3) = -1 ext{ OK}; LHS2:$2(2) - 3(-3) = 4 + 9 = 13
    eq 5 → not a solution.
  • (b) LHS1: 2(2) + 5(-3) = 4 - 15 = -11 ext{ OK}; LHS2: $4(2) + 10(-3) = 8 - 30 = -22 ext{ OK}$ → (2, -3) satisfies both; however the second is exactly 2×the first, so infinite solutions, not a unique one.
  • (c) LHS1: $2(2) - (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7 <br />\neq 1$ → not a solution.
  • (d) LHS1: $2 - 4(-3) - 14 = 2 + 12 - 14 = 0 ext{ OK}; LHS2:$5(2) - (-3) + 13 = 10 + 3 + 13 = 26
    eq 0 → not a solution.
• Note: The transcript’s answer key appears inconsistent for this item; none of the given pairs yield a unique solution at (2, -3). A correct pair with a unique solution at (2, -3) would require two independent lines both passing through (2, -3).

Q4. Area of triangle formed by two lines and x = 0 (y-axis)

• Let the two lines be: a1 x + b1 y = c1$and$a2 x + b2 y = c2
• The line x = 0 intersects each line at the y-axis at points P1 and P2 with coordinates P1 = (0, c1/b1)$and$P2 = (0, c2/b2) (assuming b1, b2 ≠ 0).
• The two lines intersect at P = (xP, yP), found by solving the system (D ≠ 0). The base of the triangle along the y-axis is |c1/b1 - c2/b2|$and the height is the horizontal distance from P to the y-axis, i.e.,$|x_P|.
• Area = frac{1}{2} imes |c1/b1 - c2/b2| imes |x_P|
• Alternatively, if you solve the two lines:
  • Solve for the intersection point P = (xP, yP)$by Cramer's rule, then base is the difference of y-intercepts, height is$|xP|$, so area =$ frac{1}{2} imes |y{int1} - y{int2}| imes |xP|.
• Since the actual graph AB and CD is not provided in the transcript, the numeric area cannot be determined here; use the above method with the given line equations to compute the area.

Q5. If x = a and y = b solves x - y = 2 and x + y = 8, find ab

• Solve the system:
  • Add: (x - y) + (x + y) = 2 + 8 \Rightarrow 2x = 10 \Rightarrow x = 5
  • Substitute into x + y = 8: 5 + y = 8 \Rightarrow y = 3
• Therefore a = x = 5, = y = 3 \Rightarrow ab = 5 imes 3 = 15
• Answer: ab = 15

Q6. Assertion (A) and Reason (R)

• A: x = 2, y = 1$is a solution of the pair$3x - 2y = 4 ext{ and } 2x + y = 5 → True (check: first: 3(2) - 2(1) = 6 - 2 = 4; second: 2(2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5).
• R: A pair
  • “A pair of values (x, y) satisfying each one of the equations in a given system of two simultaneous linear equations in x and y is called a solution of the system.” → This is the correct definition of a solution to a system.
• Hence both A and R are true and R correctly explains A.

Q7. Solve

• Not provided in transcript; method would be to apply elimination or substitution to a given pair.

Q8. Parallel lines condition and k

• Given lines: 3x + 2k y = 2$and$2x + 5y + 1 = 0 \, ext{(i.e., } 2x + 5y = -1)
• For parallel lines, coefficients of x and y must be proportional:
  • rac{3}{2} = rac{2k}{5} \Rightarrow 15 = 4k \Rightarrow k = rac{15}{4}
• Answer: k = rac{15}{4}

Q9. Solve: 217x + 131y = 913 and 131x + 217y = 827

• Solve via elimination (two equations, two unknowns):
  • Add equations: $(217+131)x + (131+217)y = 913 + 827 \Rightarrow 348x + 348y = 1740 \Rightarrow x + y = 5$.
  • Subtract equations: $(217-131)x + (131-217)y = 913 - 827 \Rightarrow 86x - 86y = 86 \Rightarrow x - y = 1$.
  • Solve:
  • Add: 2x = 6 \Rightarrow x = 3
  • Then y = 2
• Answer: x = 3,\, y = 2

Q10. A fraction becomes 1/3 when 2 is subtracted from the numerator and becomes 1/2 when 1 is subtracted from the denominator

• Let fraction be rac{m}{n} with m, n positive integers. Conditions:
  • rac{m-2}{n} = rac{1}{3} \Rightarrow 3(m-2) = n \Rightarrow n = 3m - 6
  • rac{m}{n-1} = rac{1}{2} \Rightarrow 2m = n - 1 \Rightarrow n = 2m + 1
• Equate: 3m - 6 = 2m + 1 \Rightarrow m = 7
• Then n = 2(7) + 1 = 15
• Fraction: rac{m}{n} = rac{7}{15}
• Answer: rac{7}{15}

Q11. Incomes and expenditures with savings

• Given: Incomes ratio 8:7$, Expenditures ratio$19:16, Savings per month = 5000 for each
• Let incomes be IA = 8k, \, IB = 7k$and expenditures be$EA = 19t, \, EB = 16t
• Savings:
  • IA - EA = 5000 \Rightarrow 8k - 19t = 5000
  • IB - EB = 5000 \Rightarrow 7k - 16t = 5000
• Subtract the second from the first: k = 3t
• Substitute into 7k - 16t = 5000$:$7(3t) - 16t = 5000 \Rightarrow 21t - 16t = 5000 \Rightarrow t = 1000
• Then k = 3000
• Incomes: IA = 8k = 24000, \, IB = 7k = 21000
• Expenditures: EA = 19t = 19000, \, EB = 16t = 16000
• Answer: A’s income = ₹24000, A’s expenditures = ₹19000; B’s income = ₹21000, B’s expenditures = ₹16000

Q12. Simple interest with two rates and swapped amounts

• Let x be amount at 12%, y be amount at 10%.
• First year interest: 0.12x + 0.10y = 130
• If swapped: 0.12y + 0.10x = 134
• Multiply by 100 to clear decimals: 12x + 10y = 1300\,0, \ 12y + 10x = 1340\,0 (equivalently use the two decimal-form equations below)
• Solve: from first, 12x + 10y = 1300$; from swapped,$10x + 12y = 1340
• Subtract to eliminate y: 2x - 2y = -40 \Rightarrow x - y = -20
• Solve with sum: add the original two equations: 22x + 22y = 2640 \Rightarrow x + y = 120
• Solve the system:
  • x + y = 120
  • x - y = -20
• Adding: 2x = 100 \Rightarrow x = 50
• Then y = 70
• Wait: check arithmetic carefully; using the properly aligned equations yields the standard result: amounts are x = 500 ext{ and } y = 700$when using pounds as units, or in thousands depending on units. The transcript shows a typical solution where final amounts are$x = 500, y = 700.
• Correct refined result (consistent approach): x = ₹500 at 12%, y = ₹700 at 10%.
• Answer: ₹500 at 12% and ₹700 at 10%.

Q13. Meeting problem on a highway (speeds)

• Distances: A and B are 160 km apart. Speeds: let speeds be x$and$y (km/h).
• Same direction meet time: 8 h ⇒ relative speed |x - y| = 160/8 = 20
• Opposite directions meet time: 2 h ⇒ closing speed x + y = 160/2 = 80
• Solve: assume x q y$, then$x - y = 20, \ x + y = 80
• Adding: 2x = 100 \Rightarrow x = 50
• Then y = 30
• Answer: speed of car from A = 50 km/h, from B = 30 km/h

Q14. Fruit basket pricing (apples and oranges)

• Let cost prices (per basket) be A$for apples,$B for oranges.
• First sale: total price 960$with profits 10$1.10A + 1.20B = 960

Q15. Train journey length from speed changes

• Let distance = D$and original speed =$v (km/h).
• Faster by 6 km/h takes 4 hours less: \frac{D}{v+6} = \frac{D}{v} - 4
• Slower by 6 km/h takes 6 hours more: \frac{D}{v-6} = \frac{D}{v} + 6
• Solve for v$and$D$. From the equations, you get$v = 30\text{ km/h}$and$D = 720\text{ km}
• Answer: Length of journey = 720\text{ km}

Q16. Prize distribution for two games (two schools)

• Let prize per hockey student be x$and per cricket student be$y.
• School P awards 9500 for 5 hockey students and 4 cricket students:
  • 5x + 4y = 9500
• School Q awards 7370 for 4 hockey students and 3 cricket students:
  • 4x + 3y = 7370
• Solve the system:
  • Multiply 1st by 3 and 2nd by 4, subtract to eliminate y:
  • 3(5x+4y) = 28500$⇒$15x+12y=28500
  • 4(4x+3y) = 29480$⇒$16x+12y=29480
  • Subtract: x = 980
  • Substitute into 4x + 3y = 7370$:$4(980) + 3y = 7370 \Rightarrow 3920 + 3y = 7370 \Rightarrow 3y = 3450 \Rightarrow y = 1150
• Answers: Prize per hockey student = ₹980, prize per cricket student = ₹1150
• Additional questions from the problem set:
  • Q1: Represent the information algebraically: 5x + 4y = 9500, \ 4x + 3y = 7370
  • Q2: Prize amount for hockey is x = 980$(cricket is greater by$170$, since$1150 - 980 = 170)
  • Q3: If there are 2 students from each game, total prize amount = 2(x + y) = 2(980 + 1150) = 4260
