Sol :
2 x 3 y = 15 ; 8 x + 5 y = 77  Let  1 x = u  and  1 y = v
So, the equation becomes
2 u 3 v = 15 . . . . . ( I )

Q (1). Two numbers differ by 3. The sum of twice the smaller number and thrice the greater number is 19. Find the numbers.


Solution :

Let the greater number be x and the smaller number be y. 

By first condition:

Two numbers differ by 3.

x − y = 3 .....(1)

By second condition:

The sum of twice the smaller number and thrice the greater number is 19.

2y → Twice the smaller number + 3x → Thrice the greater number = 19

2y + 3x = 19

3x + 2y = 19 ......(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2

2x − 2y = 6 .........(3)

Adding equations (2) and (3)

3x + 2y = 19
2x − 2y = 6  
5x = 25

x = 25 5

x = 5

Put x = 5 in equation (1)

x − y = 3

5 − y = 3

5 − 3 = y

2 = y

y = 2

∴ The numbers are 5 and 2.

Q (1). Choose correct alternative for the following question.

1. To draw graph of 4x + 5y = 19, Find y when x = 1.


Sol :

4x +5y = 19
When x = 1, then y will be 
4 ( 1 ) + 5 y = 19
4 + 5 y = 19
5 y = 19 4 = 15
5 y = 15
y = 15 5 = 3
Hence, the correct answer is 3.




2. For simultaneous equations in variables x and y, D= 49, Dy = –63, D = 7 then what is x?


Sol :

Explanation:

Given Dx ​= 49, Dy ​= −63, D = 7

From cramer's rule

x = D x D , y = D y D

⇒ x = 49 7

⇒ x = 7

Q (7) Solve the following word problems.


1. A two-digit number and the number with digits interchanged add up to 143. In the given number the digit in unit’s place is 3 more than the digit in the ten’s place. Find the original number.

Let the digit in unit’s place is x

and that in the ten’s place is y

∴ the number = y + x

The number obtained by interchanging the digits is x + y

According to the first condition two digit number + the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 143

∴ 10y + x + = 143

x + y = 143

x + y = ........(I)

From the second condition,

digit in unit’s place = digit in the ten’s place + 3

∴ x = + 3

∴ x − y = 3 ........(II)

Adding equations (I) and (II)

2x =

x = 8

Putting this value of x in equation (I)

x + y = 13

8 + = 13

∴ y =

The original number is 10 y + x

= + 8

= 58

Solution :

Let the digit in unit’s place is x

and that in the ten’s place is y

∴ the number = 10y + x

The number obtained by interchanging the digits is 10x + y

According to the first condition two digit number + the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 143

∴ 10y + x + 10x + y = 143

11x + 11y = 143

x + y = 13 ........(I) [Dividing both side by 11]

From the second condition,

digit in unit’s place = digit in the ten’s place + 3

∴ x = y + 3

∴ x − y = 3 ........(II)

Adding equations (I) and (II)

   x + y = 13
+ x − y = 3
2x = 16

x = 16 2

x = 8

Putting this value of x in equation (I)

x + y = 13

8 + y = 13

y = 13 − 8

∴ y = 5

The original number is 10y + x

= 10(5) + 8

= 50 + 8

= 58
