Pair of linear equations in two variables

Question 1.
Is the following pair of linear equations consistent? Justify your answer.
2ax + by = a, 4ax + 2by – 2a = 0; a, b≠ 0

Question 2
Does the following pair of equations represent a pair of coincident lines?
Justify your answer.
x/2 + y + 2/5 = 0, 4x+ 8y + 5/16 = 0.

Question 3.
If x = p, y = q is the solution of the pair of equation x – y = 2 and x + y = 4,
then find the value of p and q.

Question 4.
Solve for x and y

Question 5.
(i) For which values of a and b does the following pair of linear equations
have an infinite number of solutions?
2x + 3y = 7
(a – b)x + (a + b)y = 3a + b – 2
(ii) for which value of k will the following pair of linear equations have no
solution?
3x + y = 1
(2k – 1)x + (k – 1)y = 2k + 1

Question 6.
Form the pair of linear equations in this problem, and find its solution
graphically: 10 students of Class X took part in a Mathematics quiz. If the
number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys
and girls who took part in the quiz.
Question 7.
A boat covers 25 km upstream and 44 km downstream in 9 hours. Also, it
covers 15 km upstream and 22 km downstream in 5 hours. Find the speed
of the boat in still water and that of the stream.

Question 8) For what values of p and q will the following pair of linear
equations has infinitely many solutions?
4x + 5y = 2;
(2p + 7q)x + (p + 8q)y = 2q-p + 1

Question 9) A two-digit number is obtained by either multiplying the sum of the

digits by 8 and then subtracting 5 or by multiplying the difference of the digits
by 16 and then adding 3. Find the number.

Question 10) Q 6) In Fig. 3.1, ABCDE is a pentagon with BE||CD and

BC||DE. BC is perpendicular to CD. If the perimeter of ABCDE is 21 cm.
Find the value of x and y.
