Linear Equations Model Questions Set 1
Question : 1
The value of k, for which the system of equation 3x – ky – 20 = 0 and 6x – 10y + 40 = 0 has no solution, is
a) 6
b) 5
c) 10
d) 3
Answer »Answer: (b)
Given that system of equations has no solution
⇒ |A| = 0
|A| = – 30 + 6 k
But |A| = 0
⇒ 6k – 30 = 0
⇒ k = 5
∴ Option (b) is correct.
Question : 2
It is given that the equations $x^2 – y^2$ = 0 and $(x – a)^2 + y^2$ = 1 have single positive solution. For this, the value of 'a' is
a) 2
b) - $√2$
c) $√2$
d) 1
Answer »Answer: (c)
$x^2 – y^2$ = 0
(Equation of y = |x|)
$(x – a)^2 + y^2$ = 1
[Equation of a circle with centre (a, 0) and radius 1]
These have single positive solution
⇒ y = |x| to be tangent to the circle
AB = radius of circle
∠AOB = 45°
∠OAB = 90°
[tangent to the circle]
∠ABO = 45°
Length of OB = $√{AB^2 + OA^2} = √{1^2 + 1^2}$
OB = $√2$
Question : 3
If 65x – 33y = 97 and 33x – 65y = 1, then what is xy equal to?
a) 3
b) –2
c) 2
d) –3
Answer »Answer: (c)
65x – 33y = 97 .... (i)
(given)
33x – 65y = 1 ....(ii)
(given)
From eq (i) + eq (ii)
98x – 98y = 98
98(x – y) = 98 ∴ x – y = 1 ....(iii)
Now
From eq (i) × 1 – eq (iii) × 33
65x - 33y = 97
- 33x + 33y = - 33
32x = 64
∴ $x = 64/32$ = 2
From eq (iii)
x – y = 1
2 – y = 1
∴ y = 2 – 1 = 1
Hence, xy = 2 × 1 = 2
Question : 4
The sum of digits of a two-digit number is 8 and the difference between the number and that formed by reversing the digits is 18. What is the difference between the digits of the number?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 1
d) 4
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let x be the first digit and y be the second digit of two digit number.
According to question,
x + y = 8 ... (i)
(10x + y) – (10y + x) = 18
⇒9x – 9y = 18
⇒x – y = 2 ... (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
x + y = 8
x - y = 2
We get
2x = 10
⇒ x = 5
⇒ y = 8 – 5 = 3
⇒ x = 5 and y = 3
∴ Required difference of digits, x – y
= 5 – 3 = 2.
Question : 5
If 2x + 3y = 87 and 3x – 3y = 48, what is the value of x?
a) 29
b) 11
c) 72
d) 28
e) None of these
Answer »Answer: (d)
2x | + | 3y | = | 87 |
3x | - | 3y | = | 48 |
5x | = | 135 |
∴ x = ${135}/5$ = 27
