1.
(b) K = 2
Explanation:
The given equation has infinite solutions, if
a1 b1 c1
= =
a2 b2 c2

1 1 −4
⇒ = =
2 k −8

1 1
⇒ =
2 k

⇒ k=2

2.
(c) a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0
Explanation:
A linear equation in two variables is of the form ax + by + c = 0 as a and b are cofficient of x and y
so if a = 0 and b = 0 or either of one is zero in that case the equation will be one variable or their will be no equation
respectively.
therefore when a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0 then only the equation will be in two variable

3.
(b) 17
Explanation:
If x = 3 and y = -2 satisfies 5x - y = k
Then
5x - y = k
5 × 3 - (-2) = k
15 + 2 = k
k = 17

4. (a) (− 2
, m)

Explanation:
2x + 9 = 0
−9
⇒ x =
2
and y = m, where m is any real number
Hence, (− 9

2
, m) is the solution of the given equation.

5.
(b) 1
Explanation:
If the line represented by the equation 3x + ky = 9 passes through the points (2, 3) then (2, 3) will satisy the equation 3x + ky =
9
3 (2) + 3k = 9
⇒ 6 + 3k = 9

⇒ 3k = 9 - 6

⇒ 3k = 3
⇒ k = 1

6. (a) y = 9x - 7
Explanation:

1/6
 Since all the given co- ordinate (1, 2), (-1, -16) and (0, -7) satisfy the given line y = 9x - 7
For point (1, 2)
y = 9x - 7
2 = 9(1) - 7
2=9-7
2=2
Hence (2, 1) is a solution.
For point (-1, -16)
y = 9x - 7
-16 = 9(-1) - 7
-16 = -9 - 7
-16 = -16
Hence (-1, -16) is a solution.
For point (0,-7)
y = 9x - 7
-7 = 9(0) -7
-7 = -7
Hence (0, -7) is a solution.
7.
(d) Infinitely many solutions
Explanation:
3x - y = x-1
y = 3 x - x +1
y=2x+1
This is linear equation of two variable. If we take any random value of x and solve y corresponding value of x . We will get
infinite many solutions.

8.
(d) x - 2y = 0
Explanation:
Let the cost of the notebook is ₹ x and pen is ₹ y and we have given that the cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen.
So we have
x = 2y
or x - 2y = 0

9. (a) Parallel to x-axis at a distance 6 units from the origin

Explanation:
As y = a is an equation of a line parallel to x-axis at a distance of a units from the origin.

2x + y = 18
and many more.

(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
−3
( 2
, k) is a solution of 2x + 3 = 0
2 × (−
3

2
) + 3 = -3 + 3 = 0
−3
( 2
, k) is the solution of 2x + 3 = 0 for all values of k.
Also ax + b = 0 can be expressed as a linear equation in two variables as ax + 0⋅ y + b = 0.

14. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Putting (1, 1) in the given equation, we have
L.H.S = 1 + 1 = 2 = R.H.S
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence (1, 1) satisfy the x + y = 2. So it is the solution of x + y = 2.
15.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation:
A is false but R is true.

16. According to the question, given equation is 2

3
x + 4y = −7

2
⇒ x = −7 − 4y
3

⇒ 2x = 3(−7 − 4y)
−21−12y
⇒ x =
2

17. x = 0 represents y-axis for each point of which x = 0

So, When y = 0, x = 0
When y = 1, x = 0
When y = 2, x = 0
When y = 3, x = 0
∴ (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2) and (0, 3) are the four solutions of the equation x = 0.
18. Let the length be x and breadth be y.
∴ Area of the rectangle = xy

When length is x − 3 and breadth is y + 4, then the area will increase by 9 sq. units
∴ (x − 3)(y + 4) = xy + 9

⇒ xy + 4x − 3y − 12 = xy + 9

⇒ 4x − 3y − 12 = 9

⇒ 4x − 3y = 21

19. Given equation is 5x - 4y = 20

Substituting x = 2 and y = (− 5

2
) in L.H.S. of given equation, we get
L.H.S. = 5x - 4y
= 5(2) - 4(− 5

2
)

= 10 + 10
= 20 = R.H.S.
−5
Hence, (2, ) is the solution of the given equation
2

20. According to the question, given equation is 4x - 5y = 15.

Putting x = 0 we get,
0 - 5y =15

3/6
 −15
⇒ y =
5
.
⇒ y = −3

So (0, -3) is a solution of the given equation.

Similarly by putting x = 5, we get
4 × 5 − 5y = 15

⇒ 20 − 5y = 15

⇒ −5y = 15 − 20

⇒ −5y = −5
5
⇒ y =
5

⇒ y = 1

Thus, (5, 1) is also a solution.

21. The given equation is x – 2y = 4
Put x = 0 and y = 2 in given equation, we get
x – 2y = 4
0 – 2(2) = –4, which is not 4.
∴ (0, 2) is not a solution of given equation.

22. 2x + 3y = 4
⇒ 3y = 4 – 2x
⇒y=
4−2x

3
4−2(0)
Put x = 0, then y = 3
=

3
4−2(1)
put x = 1, then y = 3
=

3
4−2(2)
Put x = 2, then y = 3
= 0

4−2(3) −2
Put x = 3, then y = 3
=

∴ (0,
−2
4

3
), (1,
2

3
), (2, 0) and(3,
3
) , are the solutions of the equation 2x + 3y = 4.
23. 2x + 5y = 13
⇒ 5y = 13 – 2x
⇒y=
13−2x

13−2(0)
Put x = 0, then y = 5
=
13

13−2(1)
Put x = 1, then y = 5
=
11

13−2(2)
Put x = 2, theny = 5
=
9

5
13−2(3)
Put x = 3, theny = 5
=
7

∴ (0, 13

5
), (1,
11

5
), (2,
9

5
) and (3,
7

5
) are the solutions of the equation 2x + 5y = 13.
24. x + y – 4 = 0
⇒y=4–x
Put x = 0, then y = 4 – 0 = 4
Put x = 1, then y = 4 – 1 = 3
Put x = 2, then y = 4 – 2 = 2
Put x = 3, then y = 4 – 3 = 1
∴ (0, 4), (1, 3), (2, 2) and (3, 1) are the solutions of the equation x + y – 4 = 0
25. y varies of directly as x.
⇒ y ∝ x ,

∴ y = kx

Substituting y = 12 when x = 4, we get

12 = k × 4 ⇒ k = 12 ÷ 4 = 3

Hence, the required equation is y = 3x.

The value of y when x = 5 is y = 3 × 5 = 15 .
26. 2x – 3y + 7 = 0
⇒ 3y = 2x + 7
⇒y=
2x+7

2(0)+7
Put x = 0, then y = 3
=
7

4/6
 2(1)+7
Put x = 1, then y = 3
= 3

2(2)+7
Put x = 2, then y = 3
=
11

2(3)+7 13
Put x = 3, then y = 3
=
3

∴(0, 7

3
), (1, 3), (2,
11

3
) and (3,
13

3
) are the solutions of the equation 2x – 3y + 7 = 0.
27. i. x - y = 10
2x + 3y = 120
ii. 2x + 3y = 120
iii. x - y = 10 ...(1)
2x + 3y = 120 ...(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and to equation (2)
3x - 3y + 2x + 3y = 30 + 120
⇒ 5x = 150

⇒ x = 30
Hence the number thought by Prateek is 30.
OR
We know that x - y = 10 ...(i) and 2x + 3y = 120 ...(ii)
Put x = 30 in equation (i)
30 - y = 10
⇒ y = 40
Hence number thought by Kevin = 40.

x + 2y = 600 ...(2)
Solving (1) and (2) × 2
2x + y - 2x - 4y = 600 - 1200
⇒ - 3y = - 600

⇒ y = 200

Put y = 200 in (1)

2x + 200 = 600
400
⇒ x= 2
= 200

129x + 114 = 140x + 70

⇒ 129x − 140x = 70 − 114

⇒ −11x = −44

⇒ x = 4

30. Given equation is 3y = 4x

Substituting x = 3 in the given equation,
we get 3y = 4(3) ⇒ 3y = 12 ⇒ y = 4
So, (3, 4) is the solution of the given equation.
Substituting x = -3 in the given equation,
we get 3y = 4(-3) ⇒ 3y = -12 ⇒ y = -4
So, (-3, -4) is the solution of the given equation.
Substituting x = 9 in the given equation,
we get 3y = 4(9) ⇒ 3y = 36 ⇒ y = 12
So, (9, 12) is the solution of the given equation.
Substituting y = 8 in the given equation,
we get 3(8) = 4x ⇒ 4x = 24 ⇒ x = 6
So, (6, 8) is the solution of the given equation.
Substituting y = -8 in the given equation,
we get 3(-8) = 4x ⇒ 4x = -24 ⇒ x = -6
So, (-6, -8) is the solution of the given equation.
