Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions (if they exist) by any algebraic method:
A fraction becomes `1/3` when 1 is subtracted from the numerator and it becomes `1/4` when 8 is added to its denominator. Find the fraction.
उत्तर
Let the fraction be `x/y`
According to the question,
`(x-1)/y = 1/3`
⇒ 3x - y = 3... (i)
`x/(y+8) = 1/4`
⇒ 4x - y = 8 ... (ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we get
x = 5 ... (iii)
Putting this value in equation (i), we get
15 - y = 3
y = 12
Hence, the fraction is `5/12`

A part of monthly hostel charges is fixed and the remaining depends on the number of days one has taken food in the mess. When a student A takes food for 20 days she has to pay Rs 1000 as hostel charges whereas a student B, who takes food for 26 days, pays Rs 1180 as hostel charges. Find the fixed charges and the cost of food per day.
Solve the following systems of equations:
`(7x - 2y)/"xy" = 5`
`(8x + 7y)/"xy" = 15`
Solve each of the following systems of equations by the method of cross-multiplication :
x + 2y + 1 = 0
2x − 3y − 12 = 0
Solve each of the following systems of equations by the method of cross-multiplication
3x + 2y + 25 = 0
2x + y + 10 = 0
Solve each of the following systems of equations by the method of cross-multiplication
2x − y = 6
x − y = 2
Complete the activity to find the value of x.
3x + 2y = 11 …(i) and 2x + 3y = 4 …(ii)
Solution:
Multiply equation (i) by _______ and equation (ii) by _______.
`square` × (3x + 2y = 11) ∴ 9x + 6y = 33 …(iii)
`square` × (2x + 3y = 4) ∴ 4x + 6y = 8 …(iv)
Subtract (iv) from (iii),
`square` x = 25
∴ x = `square`

Anuj had some chocolates, and he divided them into two lots A and B. He sold the first lot at the rate of ₹ 2 for 3 chocolates and the second lot at the rate of ₹ 1 per chocolate, and got a total of ₹ 400. If he had sold the first lot at the rate of ₹ 1 per chocolate, and the second lot at the rate of ₹4 for 5 chocolates, his total collection would have been ₹460. Find the total number of chocolates he had.
