Question 563 Marks
Places A and B are 30 km apart and they are on a straight road. Hamid travels from A to B on bike. At the same time Joseph starts from B on bike, travels towards A. They meet each other after 20 minutes. If Joseph would have started from B at the same time but in the opposite direction (instead of towards A) Hamid would have caught him after 3 hours. Find the speed of Hamid and Joseph.
Answer
Let the speed of $Joseph = x km / h$
Let the speed of Hamid be $=y km / h$
When approaching each other, combined speed $=(x+y) km / h$
Time taken to meet $=\frac{30}{x+y}=\frac{1}{3}(20 mins )$
$\therefore x + y =90 \ldots I$
When moving away from each other, combined speed $=(x-y) km / h$
Time taken for Hamid to catch up $=\frac{30}{x-y}=3$
$\therefore x - y =10 \ldots II$
Equating I and II,
$\begin{aligned}
& x+y=90 \\
& x-y=10 \\
& 2 x=100 \\
& x=\frac{100}{2}=50
\end{aligned}$
Substituting $x=50$ in eq. I
$50+y=90$
$\begin{aligned}
& y=90-50 \\
& y=40
\end{aligned}$
Hamid's speed $50 km / hr$.
Joseph's speed $40 km / hr$.

Question 593 Marks
Answer
Let $\frac{1}{3 x+4 y}=m$ and $\frac{1}{2 x-3 y}=n$
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{2} m+\frac{1}{5} n=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow 5 m+2 n=\frac{10}{4} \Rightarrow 20 m+8 n=10 \Rightarrow 10 m+4 n=5 \ldots (1) \\
& 5 m-2 n=-\frac{3}{2} \Rightarrow 10 m-4 n=-3 \ldots (2)
\end{aligned}$
Equating Eq. I and II
$\begin{aligned}
& 10 m+4 n=5 \\
& 10 m-4 n=-3 \\
& 20 m=2
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
& m =\frac{2}{20} \\
& m =\frac{1}{10}
\end{aligned}$
Substituting $m =\frac{1}{10}$ in Eq. I
$\begin{aligned}
& 10 \times \frac{1}{10}+4 n=5 \\
& 1+4 n=5 \\
& 4 n=5-1
\end{aligned}$
4n=4
$\begin{aligned}
& n =\frac{4}{4} \\
& n =1 \\
& \quad \frac{1}{3 x +4 y }= m \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3 x +4 y }=\frac{1}{10} \Rightarrow 3 x +4 y =10 \ldots (3) \\
& \therefore \frac{1}{2 x -3 y }= n \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2 x -3 y }=1 \Rightarrow 2 x -3 y =1 \ldots (4)
\end{aligned}$
Multiply Eq. III by 3 and Eq. IV by 4 and Equate
$\begin{aligned}
& 9 x+12 y=30 \\
& 8 x-12 y=4 \\
& 17 x=34 \\
& x=\frac{34}{17} \\
& x=2
\end{aligned}$
Substituting $x=2$ in Eq. $V$
$\begin{aligned}
& 9 \times 2+12 y=30 \\
& 18+12 y=30 \\
& 12 y=30-18
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
& 12 y=12 \\
& y=\frac{12}{12} \\
& y=1
\end{aligned}$
Hence, $(x, y)=(2,1)$

$\begin{aligned}
& m =\frac{14}{14} \\
& m =1 \\
& \therefore \frac{1}{ x }= m \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ x }=1 \Rightarrow x =1 \\
& \quad \frac{1}{ y }= n \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ y }=1 \Rightarrow y =1

$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{148}{x}+\frac{231}{y}=\frac{527}{x y} \Rightarrow \frac{148 y+231 x}{x y}=\frac{527}{x y} \Rightarrow 231 x+148 y=527 \ldots(1) \\
& \frac{231}{x}+\frac{148}{y}=\frac{610}{x y} \Rightarrow \frac{231 y+148 x}{x y}=\frac{610}{x y} \Rightarrow 148 x+231 y=610 \ldots(2)
\end{aligned}$
Adding Eq. I and II
$\begin{aligned}

$\frac{7}{2 x +1}+\frac{13}{ y +2}=27 ; \frac{13}{2 x +1}+\frac{7}{ y +2}=33$
Answer

$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Let } \frac{1}{2 x+1}=m \text { and } \frac{1}{y+2}=n \\
& 7 m+13 n=27 \ldots \text { (I) } \\
& 13 m+7 n=33 \ldots \text { (II) }
\end{aligned}$Adding Eq. I and II
$20 m +20 n =60 \Rightarrow m + n =3 \ldots(III)$
Subtract Eq. I and II
$-6 m+6 n=-6 \Rightarrow-m+n=-1 \ldots(IV)$
Equating Eq. III and IV
$\begin{aligned}
& m+n=3 \\
& -m+n=-1 \\
& \hline 2 n=2 \\
& n=1
\end{aligned}$
Substituting $n=1$ in Eq. III
$\begin{aligned}
& m+1=3 \\
& m=3-1 \\
& m=2
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \frac{1}{2 x +1}= m \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2 x +1}=2 \Rightarrow 2(2 x +1)=1 \Rightarrow 4 x +2=1 \Rightarrow 4 x =1-2 \\
& \Rightarrow 4 x =-1 \Rightarrow x =-\frac{1}{4} \\
& \therefore \frac{1}{ y +2}= n \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ y +2}=1 \Rightarrow y +2=1 \Rightarrow y =1-2 \Rightarrow y =-1
\end{aligned}$
Hence, $(x, y)=\left(-\frac{1}{4},-1\right)$

Question 633 Marks
Solve the following simultaneous equations.
$\frac{2}{x}+\frac{2}{3 y}=\frac{1}{6} ; \frac{3}{x}+\frac{2}{y}=0$
Answer

Let $\frac{1}{x}=m$ and $\frac{1}{y}=n$
$2 m+\frac{2}{3} n=\frac{1}{6} \Rightarrow 12 m+\frac{12}{3 n}=1 \Rightarrow 12 m+4 n=1 \ldots(1)$
$3 m+2 n=0 \ldots(2)$
Multiply Eq. II by 2
$6 n+4 n=0 \ldots(3)$
Subtract Eq.III from Eq. I
$\begin{aligned}
& 12 m+4 n=1 \\
& -6 m-4 n=0 \\
& \hline 6 m=1 \\
& m=\frac{1}{6}
\end{aligned}$
Substitute $m=1 / 6$ in Eq. I
$\begin{aligned}
& 12 \times \frac{1}{6}+4 n=1 \\
& 2+4 n=1 \\
& 4 n=1-2
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
& 4 n =-1 \\
& n =-\frac{1}{4} \\
& \therefore m =\frac{1}{ x } \Rightarrow \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{ x } \Rightarrow x =6 \\
& \therefore n =\frac{1}{ y } \Rightarrow-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{ y } \Rightarrow y =-4
\end{aligned}$
Hence, $(x, y)=(6,-4)$

Question 643 Marks
Solve the following equations by Cramer’s method.
$\frac{x+y-8}{2}=\frac{x+2 y-14}{3}=\frac{3 x-y}{4}$
Answer
Let,
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{x+y-8}{2}=\frac{x+2 y-14}{3} \\
& \Rightarrow 3 x+3 y-24=2 x+4 y-28 \\
& \Rightarrow x-y=-4 \ldots \text { (1) }
\end{aligned}$
Also,
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Let } \frac{x+2 y-14}{3}=\frac{3 x-y}{4} \\
& \Rightarrow 4 x+8 y-56=9 x-3 y \\
& \Rightarrow 5 x-11 y=-56 \ldots \text { (2) }
\end{aligned}$
Hence the two equations are:
$\begin{aligned}
& x-y=-4 \ldots(1) \\
& 5 x-11 y=-56
\end{aligned}$
Now,
$\begin{aligned}
& D=\left|\begin{array}{cc}
1 & -1 \\
5 & -11
\end{array}\right| \\
& \Rightarrow D=(-11-(-5))=-6
\end{aligned}$
Also, $D _{ x }=\left|\begin{array}{cc}-4 & -1 \\ -56 & -11\end{array}\right|$
$D_x=44-56=-12$
And,
$\begin{aligned}
& D_y=\left|\begin{array}{cc}
1 & -4 \\
5 & -56
\end{array}\right| \\
& \Rightarrow D_y=-56+20=-36
\end{aligned}$
Now,
$x=\frac{D_x}{D}=\frac{-12}{-6}=2$
And,
$y=\frac{D_y}{D}=\frac{-36}{-6}=6$
Hence, $(2,6)$ is the solution

Answer

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{1}{3 x+y}+\frac{1}{3 x-y}=\frac{3}{4} \\
& \frac{1}{[2(3 x+y)]}-\frac{1}{[2(3 x-y)]}=\frac{1}{8} \\
& \text { Let } \frac{1}{3 x+y}=m \text { and } \frac{1}{3 x-y}=n \\
& m+n=\frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow 4(m+n)=3 \Rightarrow 4 m+4 n=3 \ldots \text { (I) } \\
& \frac{1}{2} m-\frac{1}{2} n=\frac{1}{8} \Rightarrow 8(m-n)=1 \times 2 \Rightarrow 8 m-8 n=2 \ldots (II)
\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow & n=\frac{2}{8} \\
\Rightarrow & n=\frac{1}{4} \\
& \therefore m=\frac{1}{2(3 x+y)} \\
& \frac{1}{2(3 x+y)}=\frac{1}{2} \\
\Rightarrow & 2=2(3 x+y) \\
\Rightarrow & 2=6 x+2 y \ldots \ldots . \text { III } \\
& n=\frac{1}{2(3 x-y)} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{1}{2(3 x-y)}=\frac{1}{4} \\
\Rightarrow & 4=2(3 x-y) \\
\Rightarrow & 4=6 x-2 y \ldots . I V
\end{aligned}$
Add Eq. III and IV

Substituting $x =\frac{1}{2}$ in Eq. III
$\begin{aligned}
& 6 \times \frac{1}{2}+2 y=2 \\
& \Rightarrow 3+2 y=2 \\
& \Rightarrow 2 y=2-3 \\

Question 833 Marks
Solve the following simultaneous equation.
$\frac{27}{x-2}+\frac{31}{y+3}=85 ; \frac{31}{x-2}+\frac{27}{y+3}=89$
Answer

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{27}{x-2}+\frac{31}{y+3}=85 \\
& \frac{31}{x-2}+\frac{27}{y+3}=89
\end{aligned}$
Let $\frac{1}{x-2}=m$ and $\frac{1}{y+3}=n$
$27 m+31 n=85 \dots (1)$
$31 m+27 n=89 \dots (2)$
Adding both equations
$58 m+58 n=174$
Dividing both sides by 58
$m + n =3 \dots (3)$
Subtracting Eq. I and II
$\begin{aligned}
& 27 m+31 n=85 \\
& -31 m-27 n=-89 \\
& -4 m+4 n=-4
\end{aligned}$
Dividing both sides by 4
$-m+n=-1 \dots (4)$
Equating Eq. III and IV
$\begin{gathered}
m+n=3 \\
-m+n=-1 \\
\hline 2 n=2
\end{gathered}$
$\begin{aligned}
& n =\frac{2}{2} \\
& n =1
\end{aligned}$
Subsituting $n=1$ in Eq. III
$\begin{aligned}
& m+1=3 \\
& m=3-1 \\
& m=2
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \therefore m =\frac{1}{ x -2} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ x -2}=2 \Rightarrow 2( x -2)=1 \\
& \Rightarrow 2 x -4=1 \Rightarrow 2 x =4+1 \\
& \Rightarrow 2 x =5 \Rightarrow x =\frac{5}{2} \\
& \therefore n =\frac{1}{ y +3} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ y +3}=1 \\
& \Rightarrow y +3=1 \\
& \Rightarrow y =1-3 \\
& \Rightarrow y =-2 \\
& y =2
\end{aligned}$
Hence $(x, y)=\left(\frac{5}{2},-2\right)$

Question 843 Marks
Solve the following simultaneous equation.
$\frac{10}{x+y}+\frac{2}{x-y}=4 ; \frac{15}{x+y}-\frac{5}{x-y}=-2$
Answer

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{10}{x+y}+\frac{2}{x-y}=4 \\
& \frac{15}{x+y}-\frac{5}{x-y}=-2 \\
& \text { Let } \frac{1}{x+y}=m \text { and } \frac{1}{x-y}=n \\
& 10 m+2 n=4 \ldots \text { (I) } \\
& 15 m-5 n=-2 \ldots \text { (II) }
\end{aligned}$
Multiply Eq. I by 5 and Eq.II by 2
$\begin{gathered}
50 m+10 n=20 \\
\frac{30 m-10 n=-4}{80 m=16}
\end{gathered}$
$\begin{aligned}
m & =\frac{16}{80} \\
m & =\frac{1}{5}
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Substituting } m=\frac{1}{5} \text { in Eq. I } \\
& 10 \times \frac{1}{5}+2 n=4 \\
& 2+2 n=4 \\
& 2 n=4-2 \\
& 2 n=2 \\
& n=\frac{2}{2} \\
& n=1
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
\therefore & m =\frac{1}{ x + y } \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ x + y }=\frac{1}{5} \Rightarrow x + y =5 \dots (3)\\
& n =\frac{1}{ x - y } \Rightarrow \frac{1}{x-y}=1 \Rightarrow x - y =1 \dots (4)
\end{aligned}$
Now, equating Eq. III and IV
$\begin{gathered}
x+y=5 \\
x-y=1 \\
\hline 2 x=6 \\
x=\frac{6}{2} \\
x=3
\end{gathered}$
Subsituting value of $x=3$ in Eq. III
$\begin{aligned}
& 3+y=5 \\
& y=5-3 \\
& y=2
\end{aligned}$
Hence $(x, y)=(3,2)$

Answer

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{2}{x}-\frac{3}{y}=15 \\
& \frac{8}{x}+\frac{5}{y}=77 \\
& \text { Let } \frac{1}{x}=m \text { and } \frac{1}{y}=n \\
& 2 m-3 n=15 \ldots \text { (I) } \\
& 8 m+5 n=77 \ldots \text { (II) }
\end{aligned}$
Multiply Eq. I by 4
$8 m-12 n=60 \ldots \text { (III) }$
Equating Eq. II and III. Change the signs of Eq. III
$\begin{gathered}
8 m+5 n=77 \\
-8 m+12 n=-60 \\
\hline 17 n=17
\end{gathered}$
$\begin{aligned}
& n =\frac{17}{17} \\
& n =1
\end{aligned}$
Substituting $n =1$ in Eq. II
$\begin{aligned}
& 8 m+5 \times 1=77 \\
& 8 m+5=77 \\
& 8 m=77-5 \\
& 8 m=72 \\
& m=\frac{72}{8} \\
& m=9
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore m =\frac{1}{ x } \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ x }=9 \Rightarrow x =\frac{1}{9} \\ & \therefore n =\frac{1}{ y } \Rightarrow \frac{1}{ y }=1 \Rightarrow y =1 \\ & \text { Hence }( x , y )=\left(\frac{1}{9}, 1\right)\end{aligned}$
