Q1: Check whether the following pair of equations is consistent or not.
If consistent, solve
graphically x+3y=6 3y - 2x = -12
sol. x + 3y = 6
3y- 2x = -12
On comparing with general equation, we get a1 = 1, b1 = 3, c1 = -6 a2 = - 2, b2 = 3, c2 = 12
Hence, the given pair of equations is consistent.
Hence, (6, 0) is the solution of given system of equations.
Q2: Solve the following pair of equations algebraically:
101x + 102y = 304
102x + 101y = 305
Ans: We have, 101x + 102y = 304.(i)
102x + 101y = 305 (ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get 101x + 102y + 102x + 101y
= 304 + 305 ⇒ 203x + 203y = 609
⇒ x + y = 3 (iii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we get 101x + 102y - 102x - 101y
= 304 - 305
⇒ y - x = -1 .(iv)
Adding equations (iii) and (iv),
we get x + y + y - x = 3 + (-1)
⇒ 2y = 2 ⇒ y = 1 Substitute of y' in (iv),
we get 1 - x = -1 ⇒ x=1 + 1 = 2 Thus, the solution is x = 2 and y = 1.
Q3: In a pair of supplementary angles, the greater angle exceeds the smaller by 50°. Express the
given situation as a system of linear equations in two variables and hence obtain the measure of
each angle.
Let the greater angle be x and smaller angle be y.
Using statement, we have
x + y = 180° .(i)
x - y = 50° .(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
x + y + x - y = 180° + 50°
⇒ 2x = 230°
⇒ x = 115°
Using equation (i), we get 115° + y = 180° ⇒ y = 180° - 115° = 65° So, greater angle is 115° and
smaller angle is 65°.
Q4: A two-digit number is such that the product of its digits is 12. When 36 is added to this number,
the digits interchange their places. Find the number.
Ans: Let the tens digit of a number be a and ones digit be b, then two digit number can be written as
10a + b
Given, ab = 12 .(i)
Also, 10a + b + 36 = 10b + a
⇒ 9a - 9b + 36 = 0
⇒a-b+4=0
⇒ a - b = -4 ..(ii) Squaring on both sides, we get (a - b)2 = 16
⇒ (a + b)2 - 4ab = 16
⇒ (a + b)2 = 16 + 4(12)
⇒ a + b = ±8 [∴ Using (i)]
When a + b = 8, then a = 2, b = 6 [Using (iii)]
When a + b = -8, then a = -6, b = -2 [Rejected]
Number = 10a + b = 10(2) + 6 = 26

Q10 Three years ago, Rashmi was thrice as old as Nazma. Ten years later, Rashmi will be twice as
old as Nazma. How old are Rashmi and Nazma now? (CBSE 2024)
SOL:- Let the age of Rashmi = x years and
the age of Nazma = y years
Three years ago,
Rashmi's age = (x − 3) years
Nazma's age = (y − 3) years
According to the question, (x − 3) = 3(y − 3)
⇒ x − 3 = 3y – 9
⇒ x = 3y – 6………. (i)
Ten years later,
Rashmi's age = x + 10
Nazma's age= y + 10
According to the question, (x + 10) = 2(y + 10)
x + 10 = 2y + 20
x = 2y + 10 ….(ii)
From eq. (i) and (ii), we get
3y − 6 = 2y + 10
y = 16 Substituting the value of y in eq. (i), we get
x = 3 × 16 − 6 = 48 − 6 = 42
Thus, Rashmi is 42 years old, and Nazma is 16 years old.
Q11: If the pair of linear equations x - y = 1, x + ky = 5 has a unique solution x = 2, y = 1.
