Question 1 A 

Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
3x – 5y – 4 = 0
9x = 2y + 7
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
3x – 5y – 4 = 0 …(i)
And 9x = 2y + 7 …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
9x – 15y – 12 = 0 …(iii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (iii), we get
9x – 15y – 12 – 9x = 0 – 2y – 7
⇒ – 15y + 2y = – 7 + 12
⇒ – 13y = 5
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=-\frac{5}{13}$

On putting $y=-\frac{5}{13}$ in Eq. (ii), we get
$9 x=2\left(-\frac{5}{13}\right)+7$
$\Rightarrow 9 x=-\frac{10}{13}+7$
$\Rightarrow 9 x=\frac{-10+91}{13}$
$\Rightarrow 9 x=\frac{81}{13}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{81}{13 \times 9}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{13}$
Hence, $x=\frac{9}{13}$ and $=-\frac{5}{13}$ , which is the required solution.

Question 1 B 

Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
3x + 4y = 10
2x – 2y = 2
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
3x + 4y = 10 …(i)
And 2x – 2y = 2 …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 and Eq. (ii) by 3 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
6x + 8y = 20 …(iii)
6x – 6y = 6 …(iv)
On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
6x – 6y – 6x – 8y = 6 – 20
⇒ – 14y = – 14
⇒ y = 1
On putting y = 1 in Eq. (ii), we get
2x – 2(1) = 2
⇒ 2x – 2 = 2
⇒ x = 2
Hence, x = 2 and y = 1 , which is the required solution.

Question 1 C 

Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
x + y = 5
2x – 3y = 4
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
x + y = 5 …(i)
And 2x – 3y = 4 …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
2x + 2y = 10 …(iii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (iii), we get
2x + 2y – 2x + 3y = 10 – 4
⇒ 5y = 6
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{6}{5}$

On putting $y=\frac{6}{5}$ in Eq. (i), we get
x + y = 5
$\Rightarrow x+\frac{6}{5}=5$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{25-6}{5}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{19}{5}$
Hence, $x=\frac{19}{5}$ and $=\frac{6}{5}$ , which is the required solution.

Question 1 D 

Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
2x + 3y = 8
4x + 6y = 7
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
2x + 3y = 8 …(i)
And 4x + 6y = 7 …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
4x + 6y = 16 …(iii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (iii), we get
4x + 6y – 4x – 6y = 16 – 7
⇒ 0 = 9
Which is a false equation involving no variable.
So, the given pair of linear equations has no solution i.e. this pair of linear equations is inconsistent.

Question 1 E 

Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
8x + 5y = 9
3x + 2y = 4
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
8x + 5y = 9 …(i)
And 3x + 2y = 4 …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 and Eq. (ii) by 5 to make the coefficients of y equal, we get the equation as
16x + 10y = 18 …(iii)
15x + 10y = 20 …(iv)
On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
15x + 10y – 16x – 10y = 20 – 18
⇒ – x = 2
⇒ x = – 2
On putting x = – 2 in Eq. (ii), we get
3x + 2y = 4
⇒ 3( – 2) + 2y = 4
⇒ – 6 + 2y = 4
⇒ 2y = 4 + 6
⇒ 2y = 10
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{10}{2}=5$
Hence, x=-2 and =5, which is the required solution.

Question 1 F 

Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
2x + 3y = 46
3x + 5y = 74
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
2x + 3y = 46 …(i)
And 3x + 5y = 74 …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 and Eq. (ii) by 2 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
6x + 9y = 138 …(iii)
6x + 10y = 148 …(iv)
On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
6x + 10y – 6x – 9y = 148 – 138
⇒ y = 10
On putting y = 10 in Eq. (ii), we get
3x + 5y = 74
⇒ 3x + 5(10) = 74
⇒ 3x + 50 = 74
⇒ 3x = 74 – 50
⇒ 3x = 24
⇒ x = 8
Hence, x = 8 and y = 10 , which is the required solution.

Question 1 G 

Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
0.4x – 1.5y = 6.5
0.3x + 0.2y = 0.9
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
0.4x – 1.5y = 6.5 …(i)
And 0.3x + 0.2y = 0.9 …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 and Eq. (ii) by 4 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
1.2x – 4.5y = 19.5 …(iii)
1.2x + 0.8y = 3.6 …(iv)
On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
1.2x + 0.8y – 1.2x + 4.5y = 3.6 – 19.5
⇒ 5.3y = – 15.9
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=-\frac{15.9}{5.3}$
⇒ y = – 3

On putting y = – 3 in Eq. (ii), we get
0.3x + 0.2y = 0.9
⇒ 0.3x + 0.2( – 3) = 0.9
⇒ 0.3x – 0.6 = 0.9
⇒ 0.3x = 1.5
⇒ x = 1.5/0.3
⇒ x = 5
Hence, x = 5 and y = – 3 , which is the required solution.

2x – √6 y = 0 …(iii)
√15 x + √6 y = 0 …(iv)
On adding Eq. (iii) and (iv), we get
2x – √6 y + √15 x + √6 y = 0
⇒ 2x + √15 x = 0
⇒ x(2 + √15) = 0
⇒ x = 0
On putting x = 0 in Eq. (i), we get
√2 x – √3 y = 0
⇒ √2(0) – √3 y = 0
⇒ – √3 y = 0
⇒ y = 0
Hence, x = 0 and y = 0 , which is the required solution.

And 2x + 3y = 3 …(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
2x + 3y – 2x – 5y = 3 – 1
⇒ – 2y = 2
⇒ y = – 1
On putting y = – 1 in Eq. (ii), we get
2x + 3( – 1) = 3
⇒ 2x – 3 = 3
⇒ 2x = 6
⇒ x = 6/2
⇒ x = 3
Hence, x = 3 and y = – 1 , which is the required solution.

And $x-\frac{y}{3}=3$ …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 2 to make the coefficients of  y equal, we get the equation as
$2 x-\frac{2 y}{3}=6$ …(iii)

On adding Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2 y}{3}+x-\frac{2 y}{3}=-1+6$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}+2 \mathrm{x}=5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x+4 x}{2}=5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5 x}{2}=5$
⇒ x = 2

On putting x=2 in Eq. (ii), we get
$x-\frac{y}{3}=3$
$\Rightarrow 2-\frac{y}{3}=3$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{y}{3}=3-2$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{y}{3}=1$
⇒ y = – 3
Hence, x = 2 and y = – 3 , which is the required solution.

On multiplying Eq. (ii) by $\frac{1}{2}$ to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
$\frac{x}{6}-\frac{y}{24}=\frac{19}{8}$ …(iii)

On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (iii), we get
$\frac{x}{6}-\frac{y}{24}-\frac{x}{6}-\frac{y}{15}=\frac{19}{8}-4$

$\Rightarrow-\frac{y}{24}-\frac{y}{15}=\frac{19-32}{8}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-5 y-8 y}{120}=\frac{19-32}{8}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-13 y}{120}=\frac{-13}{8}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{13}{8} \times \frac{120}{13}$
⇒ y = 15

On putting y = 15 in Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{x}{6}+\frac{y}{15}=4$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{6}+\frac{15}{15}=4$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{6}=4-1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{6}=3$
⇒ x = 18
Hence, x = 18 and y = 15 , which is the required solution.

On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (iii), we get
$3 x+\frac{18}{y}-3 x+\frac{8}{y}=18-5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{26}{\mathrm{y}}=13$
⇒ y = 2

On putting y = 2 in Eq. (i), we get
$x+\frac{6}{y}=6$

1591x + 1849y = 5289 …(iii)
1591x + 1369y = 4329 …(iv)

On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
⇒ 1591x + 1369y – 1591x – 1849y = 4329 – 5289
⇒ – 480y = – 960
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{960}{480}$
⇒ y = 2

On putting y = 2 in Eq. (ii), we get

⇒ x = 1
Hence, x = 1 and y = 2 , which is the required solution.

⇒ 28427x + 47089y – 28427x – 17161y = 179459 – 119603
⇒ 47089y – 17161y = 179459 – 119603
⇒ 29928y = 59856
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{59856}{29928}$
⇒ y = 2
On putting y = 2 in Eq. (ii), we get
⇒ 131x + 217(2) = 827 ⇒ 131x + 434 = 827
⇒ 131x = 393
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{393}{131}$
⇒ x = 3
Hence, x = 3 and y = 2 , which is the required solution.

9999x + 10201y = 50399 …(iii)
9999x + 9801y = 49599 …(iv)

On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
⇒ 9999x + 9801y – 9999x – 10201y = 49599 – 50399
⇒ 9801y – 10201y = 49599 – 50399
⇒ – 400y = – 800
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{800}{400}$
⇒ y = 2

On putting y = 2 in Eq. (i), we get

667x – 529y = 2530 …(iii)
667x – 841y = 2842 …(iv)
On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
⇒ 667x – 841y – 667x + 529y = 2842 – 2530
⇒ – 312y = 312
⇒ y = – 1
On putting y = 2 in Eq. (ii), we get
⇒ 29x – 23( – 1) = 110 ⇒ 29x + 23 = 110
⇒ 29x = 110 – 23

Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}=1$ …(i)
And $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=7$ …(ii)

Adding Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=1+7$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}=8$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{x}=8$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{8}=x$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{4}$

On putting $\mathrm{X}=\frac{1}{4}$ in Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=7$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}}+\frac{1}{y}=7$
$\Rightarrow 4+\frac{1}{\mathrm{y}}=7$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{y}=7-4=3$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, $x=\frac{1}{4}$ and $=\frac{1}{3}$ , which is the required solution.

Question 4 B

On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
$\frac{10}{x}-\frac{8}{y}-\frac{10}{x}-\frac{15}{y}=-4-65$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{8}{y}-\frac{15}{y}=-69$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{23}{\mathrm{y}}=-69$
$\Rightarrow \frac{23}{69}=\mathrm{y}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{2}$

On putting $y=\frac{1}{2}$ in Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{y}=-2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{\frac{1}{2}}=7$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{x}-8=7$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{x}=15$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, $x=\frac{1}{3}$ and $=\frac{1}{2}$ , which is the required solution.

$\frac{12}{x}+\frac{21}{y}=33$ …(iii)
$\frac{12}{x}-\frac{20}{y}=-8$ …(iv)

On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
$\frac{12}{x}-\frac{20}{y}-\frac{12}{x}-\frac{21}{y}=-8-33$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{20}{\mathrm{y}}-\frac{21}{\mathrm{y}}=-41$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{41}{\mathrm{y}}=-41$
$\Rightarrow \frac{41}{41}=\mathrm{y}$
⇒y=1

On putting y=1 in Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{3}{x}-\frac{5}{y}=-2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{x}-5=-2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{x}=-2+5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{x}=3$
⇒x=1

Hence, $x=\frac{1}{3}$ and $=\frac{1}{2}$ , which is the required solution.

On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 3 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
$\frac{3 a}{x}+\frac{9 b}{y}=6$ …(iii)

On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (iii), we get
$\frac{3 a}{x}+\frac{9 b}{y}-\frac{3 a}{x}+\frac{2 b}{y}=6-(-5)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{9 b}{y}+\frac{2 b}{y}=11$
$\Rightarrow \frac{11 \mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{y}}=11$
⇒ y = b

On putting y = b in Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{a}{x}+\frac{3 b}{y}=2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{a}{x}+\frac{3 b}{b}=2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{a}{x}=2-3$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{x}}=-1$
⇒ x = – a

Hence, x = – a and y = b , which is the required solution.

Question 5 A

$\frac{2 x+5 y}{x y}=6$, $\frac{4 x-5 y}{x y}=-3$, where x ≠ 0 and y ≠ 0
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is

Or 2x + 5y = 6xy …(i)
And $\frac{4 x-5 y}{x y}=-3$

Or 4x – 5y = – 3xy …(ii)

On adding Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get
2x + 5y + 4x – 5y = 6xy – 3xy
⇒ 6x = 3xy
$\Rightarrow \frac{6 x}{3 x}=y$
⇒ y = 2 and x = 0

On putting y = 2 in Eq. (ii), we get
2x + 5(2) = 6xy
⇒ 2x + 10 = 6x(2)
⇒ 2x + 10 = 12x ⇒ 2x – 12x = – 10
⇒ – 10x = – 10
⇒ x = 1

On putting x = 0 , we get y = 0
Hence, x = 0,1 and y = 0,2 , which is the required solution.

x – y = 6xy
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
x + y = 2xy …(i)
And x – y = 6xy …(ii)
On adding Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get
x + y + x – y = 2xy + 6xy
⇒ 2x = 8xy
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 \mathrm{x}}{8 \mathrm{x}}=\mathrm{y}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{4}$ and x=0

On putting $y=\frac{1}{4}$ in Eq. (ii), we get
$x-\frac{1}{4}=6 x y$
$\Rightarrow \frac{4 x-1}{4}=6 x\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$
⇒ 4x – 1 = 6x ⇒ – 1 = 6x – 4x
⇒ – 1 = 2x
$\Rightarrow x=-\frac{1}{2}$

On putting x = 0 , we get y = 0
Hence, $x=-\frac{1}{2}, 0$ and $=\frac{1}{4}, 0$ , which is the required solution.

And 7x – 2y = 8xy …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 and Eq. (ii) by 3 to make the coefficients of y equal, we get the equation as
10x + 6y = 38xy …(iii)
And 21x – 6y = 24xy …(iv)
On adding Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get
10x + 6y + 21x – 6y = 38xy + 24xy
⇒ 31x = 62xy
$\Rightarrow \frac{31 \mathrm{x}}{62 \mathrm{x}}=\mathrm{y}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{2}$ and x=0

On putting $y=\frac{1}{2}$ in Eq. (ii), we get
7x – 2y = 8xy
$\Rightarrow 7 x-2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=8 x\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
⇒ 7x – 1 = 4x ⇒ – 1 = 4x – 7x
⇒ – 1 = – 3x
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{3}$

On putting x = 0 , we get y = 0

Hence, $x=\frac{1}{3}, 0$ and $=\frac{1}{2}, 0$ , which is the required solution.

Question 5 D 

Solve the following system of equations by elimination method:
x + y = 7xy
2x – 3y = – xy
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
x + y = 7xy …(i)
And 2x – 3y = – xy …(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 to make the coefficients of x equal, we get the equation as
2x + 2y = 14xy …(iii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) and Eq. (iii), we get
2x + 2y – 2x + 3y = 14xy + xy
⇒ 2y + 3y = 15xy
⇒ 5y = 15xy
$\Rightarrow \frac{5 y}{15 y}=x$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{3}$ and y=0

On putting $x=\frac{1}{3}$ in Eq. (ii), we get
2x – 3y = – xy
$\Rightarrow 2\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)-3 y=6\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) y$
$\Rightarrow\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)-3 y=2 y \Rightarrow\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)=5 y$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{2}{15}$

On putting x = 0 , we get x = 0
Hence, $x=\frac{1}{3}, 0$ and $=\frac{2}{15}, 0$ , which is the required solution.

Question 6 A 

Solve for x and y the following system of equations:
$\frac{1}{2(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{12}{7(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{1}{2}$ , $\frac{7}{(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{4}{(3 x-2 y)}=2$

Where (2x + 3y) ≠ 0 and (3x – 2y) ≠ 0
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
$\frac{1}{2(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{12}{7(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{1}{2}$ …(i)
And $\frac{7}{(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{4}{(3 x-2 y)}=2$ …(ii)

On multiplying Eq. (i) by 7 and Eq. (ii) by $\frac{1}{2}$ to make the coefficients equal of first term, we get the equation as
$\frac{7}{2(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{7 \times 12}{7(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{7}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{7}{2(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{12}{(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{7}{2}$ …(iii)
$\frac{7}{2(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{4}{2(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{2}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{7}{2(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{2}{(3 x-2 y)}=1$ …(iv)

On substracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
$\frac{7}{2(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{2}{(3 x-2 y)}-\frac{7}{2(2 x+3 y)}-\frac{12}{(3 x-2 y)}=1-\frac{7}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{(3 x-2 y)}-\frac{12}{(3 x-2 y)}=1-\frac{7}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-10}{(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{2-7}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-10}{(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{-5}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{5}{2 \times 10}$
⇒3x-2y=4
⇒3x=4+2y
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{4+2 \mathrm{y}}{3}$ …(a)

On multiplying Eq. (ii) by $\frac{3}{7}$ to make the coefficients equal of second term, we get the equation as
$\frac{7 \times 3}{7(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{4 \times 3}{7(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{2 \times 3}{7}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{12}{7(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{6}{7}$ …(v)

On substracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (iv), we get
$\frac{3}{(2 x+3 y)}+\frac{12}{7(3 x-2 y)}-\frac{1}{2(2 x+3 y)}-\frac{12}{7(3 x-2 y)}=\frac{6}{7}-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{(2 x+3 y)}-\frac{1}{2(2 x+3 y)}=\frac{6}{7}-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{6-1}{2(2 x+3 y)}=\frac{12-7}{14}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{2(2 x+3 y)}=\frac{5}{14}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{(2 x+3 y)}=\frac{2}{14}$
⇒2x+3y=7
⇒$\mathrm{X}=\frac{7-3 \mathrm{y}}{2}$ …(b)

From Eq. (a) and (b), we get
$\frac{4+2 y}{3}=\frac{7-3 y}{2}$
⇒ 2(4 + 2y) = 3(7 – 3y)
⇒ 8 + 4y = 21 – 9y
⇒ 4y + 9y = 21 – 8
⇒ 13y = 13
⇒ y = 1

On putting the value of y = 1 in Eq. (b), we get
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{7-3(1)}{2}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{4}{2}=2$

Hence, x = 2 and y = 1 , which is the required solution.

Question 6 B 

Solve for x and y the following system of equations:
$\frac{6}{x-1}-\frac{3}{y-2}=1, x \neq 1, y \neq 1$
$\frac{3}{x-1}+\frac{2}{y+1}=\frac{13}{6}, x \neq 1, y \neq 1$
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
$\frac{2}{x-1}+\frac{3}{y+1}=2$ …(i)
And $\frac{3}{x-1}+\frac{2}{y+1}=\frac{13}{6}$ …(ii)

On multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 and Eq. (ii) by 2 to make the coefficients equal of first term, we get the equation as
$\frac{6}{x-1}+\frac{9}{y+1}=6$ …(iii)

$\frac{6}{x-1}+\frac{4}{y+1}=\frac{13}{3}$ …(iv)

On substracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
$\frac{6}{x-1}+\frac{4}{y+1}-\frac{6}{x-1}-\frac{9}{y+1}=\frac{13}{3}-6$
$\Rightarrow \frac{4}{y+1}-\frac{9}{y+1}=\frac{13}{3}-6$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-5}{y+1}=\frac{13-18}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-5}{y+1}=\frac{-5}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{y+1}=\frac{1}{3}$
⇒ y + 1 = 3
⇒ y = 3 – 1
⇒ y = 2

On putting the value of y = 2 in Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{6}{x-1}+\frac{4}{2+1}=\frac{13}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{x-1}+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{13}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{x-1}=\frac{13}{3}-\frac{4}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{x-1}=\frac{9}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{x-1}=\frac{9}{3 \times 6}$
⇒ x – 1 = 2
⇒ x = 3
Hence, x = 3 and y = 2 , which is the required solution.

Question 6 C 

Solve for x and y the following system of equations:
$\frac{44}{x+y}+\frac{30}{x-y}=10$
$\frac{55}{x+y}+\frac{40}{x-y}=13, x+y \neq 0, x-y \neq 0$
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
$\frac{44}{x+y}+\frac{30}{x-y}=10$ …(i)
And $\frac{55}{x+y}+\frac{40}{x-y}=13$ …(ii)

On multiplying Eq. (i) by 4 and Eq. (ii) by 3 to make the coefficients equal of second term, we get the equation as
$\frac{176}{x+y}+\frac{120}{x-y}=40$ …(iii)

$\frac{165}{x+y}+\frac{120}{x-y}=39$ …(iv)

On substracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
$\frac{176}{x+y}+\frac{120}{x-y}-\frac{165}{x+y}-\frac{120}{x-y}=40-39$
$\Rightarrow \frac{176-165}{x+y}=1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{11}{x+y}=1$
⇒ x + y = 11 …(a)

On putting the value of x + y = 11 in Eq. (1), we get
$\Rightarrow \frac{44}{11}+\frac{30}{x-y}=10$
$\Rightarrow \frac{30}{x-y}=10-4$
⇒ 6(x – y) = 30
⇒ x – y = 5 …(b)

Adding Eq. (a) and (b), we get
⇒ 2x = 16
⇒ x = 8

On putting value of x = 8 in eq. (a), we get
8 + y = 11
⇒ y = 3
Hence, x = 8 and y = 3 , which is the required solution.

Question 6 D 

Solve for x and y the following system of equations:
$\frac{5}{x-1}+\frac{1}{y-2}=2$ ,$\frac{6}{x-1}-\frac{3}{y-2}=1$
Sol :
Given pair of linear equations is
$\frac{5}{x-1}+\frac{1}{y-2}=2$ …(i)
And $\frac{6}{x-1}-\frac{3}{y-2}=1$ …(ii)

On multiplying Eq. (i) by 3 to make the coefficients equal of second term, we get the equation as
$\frac{15}{x-1}+\frac{3}{y-2}=6$ …(iii)

On adding Eq. (ii) and Eq. (iii), we get
$\frac{6}{x-1}-\frac{3}{y-2}+\frac{15}{x-1}+\frac{3}{y-2}=6+1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{x-1}-\frac{15}{x-1}=7$
$\Rightarrow \frac{21}{x-1}=7$
⇒ x – 1 = 3
⇒ x = 3 + 1
⇒ x = 4

On putting the value of x = 4 in Eq. (ii), we get
$\frac{6}{4-1}-\frac{3}{y-2}=1$
$\Rightarrow 2-\frac{3}{y-2}=1$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{3}{y-2}=1-2$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{3}{y-2}=-1$
⇒ (y – 2) = 3
⇒ y = 3 + 2
⇒ y = 5
Hence, x = 4 and y = 5 , which is the required solution.

Question 7 A 

Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by elimination method:
Aftab tells his daughter, "seven years ago, I was seven times as old as you were then. Also, three years from now, I shall be three times as old as you will be." Find their present ages.
Sol :
Let the present age of father i.e. Aftab = x yr
And the present age of his daughter = y yr
Seven years ago,
Aftab’s age = (x – 7)yr
Daughter’s age = (y – 7)yr
According to the question,
(x – 7) = 7(y – 7)
⇒ x – 7 = 7y – 49
⇒ x – 7y = – 42 …(i)
After three years,
Aftab’s age = (x + 3)yr
Daughter’s age = (y + 3)yr
According to the question,
(x + 3) = 3(y + 3)
⇒ x + 3 = 3y + 9
⇒ x – 3y = 6 …(ii)
Now, we can solve this by an elimination method
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from (i) we get
x – 3y – x + 7y = 6 – ( – 42)
⇒ – 3y + 7y = 6 + 42
⇒ 4y = 48
⇒ y = 12
On putting y = 12 in Eq. (ii) we get
x – 3(12) = 6
⇒ x – 36 = 6
⇒ x = 42
Hence, the age of Aftab is 42years and age of his daughter is 12years.

Question 7 B 

Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by elimination method:
Five years ago, Nuri was thrice as old as Sonu. Ten years later, Nuri will be twice as old as Sonu. How old are Nuri and Sonu?
Sol :
Let the present age of Nuri = x yr
And the present age of Sonu = y yr
Five years ago,
Nuri’s age = (x – 5)yr
Sonu’s age = (y – 5)yr
According to the question,
(x – 5) = 3(y – 5)
⇒ x – 5 = 3y – 15
⇒ x – 3y = – 10 …(i)
After ten years,
Aftab’s age = (x + 10)yr
Daughter’s age = (y + 10)yr

According to the question,
(x + 10) = 2(y + 10)
⇒ x + 10 = 2y + 20
⇒ x – 2y = 10 …(ii)
Now, we can solve this by an elimination method

On subtracting Eq. (ii) from (i) we get
x – 2y – x + 3y = 10 – ( – 10)
⇒ – 2y + 3y = 10 + 10
⇒ y = 20

On putting y = 20 in Eq. (i) we get
x – 3(20) = – 10
⇒ x – 60 = – 10
⇒ x = 50
Hence, the age of Nuri is 50 years and age of Sonu is 20 years.

Question 7 C 

Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by elimination method:
The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Find them.
Sol :
Let the one number = x
And the other number = y
According to the question,
x – y = 26 …(i)
and x = 3y
or x – 3y = 0 …(ii)
Now, we can solve this by an elimination method
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from (i) we get
x – 3y – x + y = 0 – 26
⇒ – 3y + y = – 26
⇒ – 2y = – 26
⇒ y = 13
On putting y = 13 in Eq. (ii) we get
x – 3(13) = 0
⇒ x – 39 = 0
⇒ x = 39
Hence, the two numbers are 39 and 13.
