Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
The pair of equations x = a and y = b graphically represents lines which are:
  • A
    Parallel.
  • B
    Intersecting at (b, a).
  • C
    Coincident.
  • Intersecting at (a, b).
Answer
Correct option: D.
Intersecting at (a, b).
By graphically in every condition. if a, b >> 0; a, b < 0, a > 0, b < 0; a < 0, b > 0 but $\text{a}=\text{b}\neq0.$
The pair of equations x = a and y = b graphically represents lines which are interesectin at (a, b). If a, b > 0.

Similarly, in all cases two lines intersect at (a, b).

Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
The father's age is six times his son’s age. Four years hence, the age of the father will be four times his son’s age. The present ages, in years, of the son and the father are, respectively:
  • A
    4 and 24.
  • B
    5 and 30.
  • 6 and 36.
  • D
    3 and 24.
Answer
Correct option: C.
6 and 36.
Let x yr be the present age of father and y yr br the present afe of son.
Four years hence, it has relation by given condition,
(x + 4) = 4(y + 4)
⇒ x - 4y = 12 .....(i)
and x = 6y .....(ii)
on putting the value of x from Eq. (ii) in Eq. (i), we get
6y - 4y = 12
⇒ 2y = 12
⇒ y = 6
When y = 6, then x = 36
Hence, present age of father is 36 yr and age of son is 6 yr.

Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
Aruna has only Rs. 1 and Rs. 2 coins with her. If the total number of coins that she has is 50 and the amount of money with her is Rs. 75, then the number of Rs. 1 and Rs. 2 coins are, respectively:
  • A
    35 and 15.
  • B
    35 and 20.
  • C
    15 and 35.
  • 25 and 25.
Answer
Correct option: D.
25 and 25.
Let number of Rs. 1 coins = x
and number of Rs. 2 coins = y
Now, by given conditions x + y = 50 .....(i)
also, x × 1 + y × 2 = 75
⇒ x + 2y = 75 .....(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (i) From Eq. (ii), we get
(x + 2y)-(x + y) = 75 - 50
⇒ y = 25
When y = 25, thne x = 25.

Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
The value of c for which the pair of equations cx - y = 2 and 6x - 2y = 3 will have infinitely many solutions is:
  • A
    3.
  • B
    -3.
  • -12.
  • D
    No value.
Answer
Correct option: C.
-12.
Condition for infinitely many solutions,
$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}$
The given lines are $c x-y=2$ and $6 x-2 y=3$
Here, $a_1=c, b_1=-1, c_1=-2$
and $a_2=6, b_2=-2, c_2=-3$
From Eq. (i), $\frac{c}{6}=\frac{-1}{-2}=\frac{-2}{-3}$
Here, $\frac{c}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{c}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow c =3$ and $c =4$
Since, c has different values.
Hence, for no value of c the pair of equations will have infinitely many solutions.

Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
A pair of linear equations which has a unique solution x = 2, y = -3 is:
  • A
    x + y = -1, 2x - 3y = -5.
  • 2x + 5y = -11, 4x + 10y = -22.
  • C
    2x - y = 1, 3x + 2y = 0.
  • D
    x - 4y -14 = 0, 5x - y - 13 = 0.
Answer
Correct option: B.
2x + 5y = -11, 4x + 10y = -22.
If x = 2, y = -3 is a unique solution of any pair of equation, then these values must satisfy that pair of equations.From option (b), LHS = 2x + 5y = 2(2) + 5(-3) = 4 -15 = -11 = RHS
and LHS = 4x + 10y = 4(2) + 10(-3) = 8 - 30 = -22 = RHS​​​.

  • A
    A unique solution.
  • B
    Exactly two solutions.
  • C

Choose the correct answer from the given four options : One equation of a pair of dependent linear equations is $-5x + 7y = 2$. The second equation can be:
  • A
    $10x + 14y + 4 = 0.$
  • B
    $-10x - 14y + 4 = 0.$
  • C
    $-10x + 14y + 4 = 0.$
  • $10x - 14y + 4 = 0.$

$\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}=\frac{1}{\text{k}}\ .....(\text{i})$
Given equation of line is, $-5 x+7 y-2=0$
Here, $a_1=-5, b_1=7, c_1=-2$
From Eq. $(i), -\frac{5}{ a _2}=\frac{7}{b_2}=-\frac{2}{ c _2}=\frac{1}{ k }\ [$say$]$
$\Rightarrow a_2=-5 k, b_2=7 k, c_2=-2 k$
Where $, k$ is any arbitrary constant.
Putting $k =2$, then $a _2=-10, b_2=14$
and $c_2=-4$
$\therefore$ the requaired equation of lien becomes
$a_2 x+b_2 y+c_2=0$
$\Rightarrow-10 x+14 y-4=0$
$\Rightarrow 10 x-14 y+4=0$
