(v) A lending library has a fixed charge for the first three days and an additional charge for each day thereafter. Saritha paid Rs.27 for a book kept for seven days, while Susy paid Rs. 21 for the book she kept for five days. Find the fixed charge and the charge for each extra day. 

let x = fixed charge for the first 3 days

and y = charge for each extra day

Saritha paid Rs.27 for a book kept for seven days

7 - 3 = 4 extra days 

so

 x + 4y = 27--------------------(1)

 

Susy paid Rs. 21 for the book she kept for five days

5-3 = 2 extra days

so

x + 2y = 21-----------------------(2) 

 elimination method

x + 4y = 27--------------------(1)

x + 2y = 21-----------------------(2)

--------------------------------------------------- subtracting

   2y = 6

y = 6/2

y=3

substitute in x + 2y = 21

x + 2(3) = 21

x = 21-6

x=15

fixed charge for the first 3 days ,x = Rs.15/-

charge for each extra day , y = Rs.3/-

(iv) Meena went to a bank to withdraw Rs.2000. She asked the cashier to give her
Rs. 50 and Rs.100 notes only. Meena got 25 notes in all. Find how many notes of
Rs.50 and Rs.100 she received.

let x = number of 50 rupee notes

and y = number of 100 rupee notes

 

Meena got 25 notes

x+y=25--------------------(1)

 

Meena went to withdraw Rs.2000

using value of the notes

50x+100y =2000

divide each term with 50

x +2y =40 --------------------(2) 

 using elimination method

 

x+y=25--------------------(1)

x +2y =40 --------------------(2) 

---------------------------------------------------subtracting 

(-1)y=(-15)

y = 15

substitute in x+y=25

x +15 =25

x = 25 - 15

x = 10 

so she got 10 fifty rupee notes and 15 hundred notes

 Which of the following pairs of linear equations has unique solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. In case there is a unique solution, find it by using cross multiplication method.

(iii) 

3x – 5y = 20
6x – 10y = 40

re writing the equations

 

3x-5y-20=0

6x-10y-40=0

 

a1=3 , b1 =(-5)  c1 = (-20)

a2 =6  b2 = (-10) c2 = (-40)

 

a1/a2 = 3/6=1/2

b1/b2 = (-5)/(-10) =1/2

c1/c2 =(-20)/(-40) =1/2

 

therefore

a1/a2 =b1/b2 =c1/c2

 

therefore the system  has infinitely many solutions

 

put y =t

use first equation

3x-5(t)-20=0

x = (20+5t)/3

 

solution is

x = (20+5t)/3

y =t

where t is any real number

 

 (iv) 

x – 3y – 7 = 0
3x – 3y – 15 = 0

a1=1 , b1 =(-3)  c1 = (-7)

a2 =3  b2 = (-3) c2 = (-15)

 

 

a1/a2 = 1/3

b1/b2 = (-3)/(-3) =1

a1/a2 =/=(not equal) b1/b2

 

so system has unique solution

 

use cross multiplication method

(-3 )                           (-7)                            1                        (-3)

(-3)                           (-15)                          3                         (-3)

x / [(-3)(-15) - (-3)(-7)]  = y / [(-7)(3)- (-15)(1)] = 1/[1(-3) - 3(-3)]

x /[45-21] = y/[-21+15] = 1/[-3+9]

x/24 = y/[-6] = 1/6

using first and last

x/24 =1/6

x = 24/6

x=4

 

using first and third

  y/[-6] = 1/6

y = (-6)/6

y=(-1)

[2/(a-b)] =[3/(a+b)] =[(-7)/{-(3a+b-2)}]

 

using first and second expression

[2/(a-b)] =[3/(a+b)] 

2(a+b) =3(a-b)

2a+2b=3a-3b

2a-3a +2b+3b =0

-a +5b=0------------------------------(1)

[2/(a-b)] =[3/(a+b)] =[(-7)/{-(3a+b-2)}]

now using the first and third expression

[2/(a-b)]  =[(-7)/{-(3a+b-2)}] cancelling off (-)

2 (3a+b-2) = 7(a-b)

6a+2b-4 = 7a-7b

6a-7a +2b+7b =4

-1a +9b =4--------------------(2)

 (ii) 2 women and 5 men can together finish an embroidery work in 4 days, while 3 women and 6 men can finish it in 3 days. Find the time taken by 1 woman alone to
finish the work, and also that taken by 1 man alone.

let x = number of days for a woman alone to finish the work

and y = number of days for a man alone to finish the work

 

This is a problem on time and work so remember to take reciprocals of x , y and time

 

2 women and 5 men can together finish an embroidery work in 4 days

so

[2/x] +[5/y]=[1/4]

3 women and 6 men can finish it in 3 days

so

[3/x]+[6/y] =[1/3]

equations are

[2/x] +[5/y]=[1/4]

[3/x]+[6/y] =[1/3]

to get rid of (1/x) and (1/y)

use a=(1/x) and b=(1/y)

 

equations change to 

2a+5b= [1/4]      *3

3a+6b= [1/3]      *2

-------------------------------------eliminate a

6a +15b=[3/4]

6a+12b=[2/3]

------------------------------------subtracting

     3b =[3/4] -[2/3]

     3b =[1/12]    

      

 b=[1/36]

 

substitute in 3a+6b= [1/3]

3a +6*(1/36) =[1/3]

3a = [1/3] - [1/6]

3a = [1/6]

 

a=[1/18]

a=[1/18] ,b=[1/36]

take reciprocal

x =18 days  , y = 36 days

 

Ritu can row downstream 20 km in 2 hours, and upstream 4 km in 2 hours. Find her speed of rowing in still water and the speed of the current. 

Let x = speed of her rowing in still water in km/hr

and y = speed of the current in km/hr

speed downstream = (x+y)

speed upstream = (x-y)

time = distance / speed

 

downstream 20 km in 2 hours

means 

2 =20/(x+y) 

or 

x+y = 20/2

x+y =10-------------------(1)

 

upstream 4 km in 2 hours

means

2 =4/(x-y) 

or

x-y =4/2

x-y =2----------------------(2)

x+y =10-------------------(1)

x-y =2----------------------(2)

------------------------------------------adding

2x = 12

 

x= 6km/hr

 

substitute in x-y =2

to get

y=4km/hr

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral Find the angles of the cyclic quadrilateral.

10th ncert cbse mathematics  chapter 3 miscellaneous / optional exercise

pair of linear equations in two variables

 

 ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral  Find the angles of the cyclic quadrilateral,

if angles are A =(4y+20) , B =(3y-5) , C=(-4x), D=(-7x+5)

 

We know that the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, 

which means they add up to 180 degrees.

 

A+C=180 degrees

and 

B+D = 180 degrees

 

A+C=180 

gives 

(4y+20) +(-4x)=180

or

 -4x +4y =180-20

or

-4x +4y =160 

dividing by 4 makes it

-x+y=40--------------(1)

 

 B+D = 180

gives

 (3y-5)+(-7x+5) =180

or

-7x+3y=180-------------(2)

eliminating y

-x+y=40--------------(1)  *3

-7x+3y=180-------------(2)

 

-3x+3y =120

-7x+3y =180 

--------------------------subtracting

4x     =(-60)

x = (-60)/4

 

x=(-15)

 

substitute in

-x+y=40

-(-15) +y =40

15+y-40

y=40-15

 

y=25

 

use  x=(-15) and y=25

A =(4y+20) =4*25+20=120 degrees

 B =(3y-5)=3*25-5=75-5=70 degrees

 C=(-4x) =(-4)*(-15) = 60 degrees

 D=(-7x+5) =(-7)*(-15) +5 =105+5=110 degrees

(iii) 

Roohi travels 300 km to her home partly by train and partly by bus. She takes 4 hours if she travels 60 km by train and the remaining by bus. If she travels 100 km by train and the remaining by bus, she takes 10 minutes longer. Find the speed of the train and the bus separately.

 

let x = speed of train in km/hr

and y = speed of bus in km/hr

 

plan 1

60 km by train and remaining 300-60 = 240 km by bus

time = distance / speed

t1=(60/x) in the train 

and 

t2=(240/y) hours in the bus

total of 4 hours means

t1 +t2 =4 hours

(60/x) +(240/y) =4--------------------(1)

 

plan 2

100 km by train and remaining 300-100 = 200 km by bus

time = distance / speed

t3=(100/x) in the train 

and 

t4=(200/y) hours in the bus

10 minutes longer means 4hours 10minutes

This has to be changed in term of hours 

4hours 10minutes =4+(10/60)=4+(1/6) = (25/6)hours

so 

t3 +t4 = (25/6)hours

(100/x)+(200/y) =(25/6)----------------(2)

 

equations are

 

(60/x) +(240/y) =4--------------------(1)

(100/x)+(200/y) =(25/6)----------------(2)

 

we have to use substitution (1/x)=u , (1/y)=v

 

equations change to

 

60u   + 240v =4   ----------------------(3)  *5

100u + 200v =(25/6)-------------------(4)  *3 

--------------------------------------------------------------------eliminate u

300u + 1200v =20

300u +600v =(25/2)

------------------------------------------subtracting

600v =  20 -(25/2)

600v = (15/2)

v = [ 15 / (2*600) ]

v = [1/80]

resubstitute v = [1/80] in 60u   + 240v =4  

60u+{240/80} =4

60u+3=4

60u=4-3

60u=1

u=(1/60)

 

u=(1/60)

v = [1/80]

 

take reciprocal

x=60 km/hr 

y=80 km/hr 

speed of train =60km/hr

speed of bus =80km/hr
