Topic: Linear Equations in two Variables
Q 1) Write whether the following pair of linear equations is consistent or not: 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 14, 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 4
Q 2) For what value of 𝑘, the following pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions?
10𝑥 + 5𝑦 − (𝑘 − 5) = 0
20𝑥 +10𝑦 − 𝑘 = 0
Q 3) The sum of the numerator and denominator of a fraction is 3 less than twice the denominator. If the
numerator and denominator are decreased by 1, the fraction becomes 1/2. Find the fraction.
Q 4) A number consists of two digits. When the number is divided by the sum of its digits, the quotient is 7. If
27 is subtracted from the number, the digits interchange their places. Find the number.
Q 5) The sum of two numbers is 8. Determine the numbers if the sum of their reciprocals is 8/15.
Q 6) Represent the following pair of equations graphically and write the coordinates of points where the lines
intersect 𝑦-axis.
𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 6
2𝑥 − 3𝑦 = 12
Q 7) Five years ago, Sagar was twice as old as Tiru. Ten year later Sagar’s age will be ten years more than
Tiru’s age. Find their present ages. What was the age of Sagar when Tiru was born?
Q 8)
Q 9) Solve the following pair of linear equations for x and y:
141x + 93y = 189;
93x + 141y = 45
Q 10) A man earns ₹600 per month more than his wife. One-tenth of the man’s salary and l/6th of the
wife’s salary amount to ₹1,500, which is saved every month. Find their incomes.
Q 11) Sita Devi wants to make a rectangular pond on the road side for the purpose of providing
drinking water for street animals. The area of the pond will be decreased by 3 square feet if its length
is decreased by 2 ft. and breadth is increased by 1 ft. Its area will be increased by 4 square feet if the
length is increased by 1 ft. and breadth remains same. Find the dimensions of the pond.
Q 12) A boat takes 4 hours to go 44 km downstream and it can go 20 km upstream in the same time.
Find the speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water.
Q 13) A man travels 300 km partly by train and partly by car. He takes 4 hours if he travels 60 km by
train and the rest by car. If he travels 100 km by train and the remaining by car, he takes 10 minutes
longer. Find the speeds of the train and the car separately.
Q 14) Draw the graphs of the equations x – y + 1 = 0 and 3x + 2y – 12 = 0. Determine the coordinates
of the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines and the x-axis.
Q 15) On reversing the digits of a two-digit number, the number obtained is 9 less than three times the
original number. If the difference between these two numbers is 45, find the original number.
