Question
Solve for x and y:
2x - y + 3 = 0,
3x - 7y + 10 = 0

Answer

2x - y + 3 = 0
⇒ 2x - y = - 3 ...(i)
3x - 7y + 10 = 0
⇒ 3x - 7y = 10 ...(ii)
Multiply (i) by -7 and add it to (ii).
-14x + 7y = 21 and 3x - 7y = -10
⇒ -11x = 11
⇒ x = -1
Substituting x = 1 in (i), we get y = 1
So, x = -1 and y = 1

Shri Maniklal has purchased 300 shares of F.V. ₹ 100, for M.V. ₹ 120. Company has paid dividend at 7%. Complete the following activity to find the rate of return on his investment.
Activity :
F.V. = ₹ 100
Number of shares = 300
Market value = ₹ 120
(a) Sum invested = M.V. × No. of shares
$\therefore$ = ⬜ x ⬜
= ₹ 36,000
(b) Dividend per share $=$ F.V. × rate of dividend
= ⬜ x $\frac{⬜}{100} $
= ₹ 7
$\therefore \quad$ Total dividend received $=300 \times 7$
= ₹ ⬜
(c) Rate of return $=\frac{\text { Dividend income }}{\text { Sum invested }} \times 100$
$=\frac{2,100}{36,000} \times 100 $
