CASE STUDY QUESTION
23) With the increase in the fuel prices, the price of consumer products increases because oil is an essential
component of the industry and the manufacturing sector, also petrol and diesel are used for transportation of
goods, thus creating an inflationary pressure. There are two statements which are based on petrol and CNG gas
given below.
Statement I: Every six months, the price of petrol increases at the rate of rupees 4 per litre. Taking price of
petrol in December 2011 as ‘x’ and present price as ‘y’.
Statement II: Due to the continuous rise in the petrol price, people are shifting towards CNG whose price
increases at the rate of rupees 3 per litre in a year.
Answer the following questions based on the above statements.
I. According to the first statement, form a linear equation showing amount spend on petrol in December
2012.
II. If x = 3 , find the value of y from first part.
III. According to second statement, form a linear equation taking price of CNG in December 2011 as ‘a’
a.& ‘b’ in December 2012.
IV. If a = 5, find the value of b from above part.
V. If a= 11, then find the value of b
