Chapter -Pair of Linear Equations in two variables Grade : 10

1. How many solutions does the pair of equations y=0 and y = -5

(a) a unique solution (b) infinitely many solutions (c) no solution (d) two solutions
2. The pair of equations 3x – 5y = 7 and – 6x + 10y = 7 have
(a) a unique solution (b) infinitely many solutions (c) no solution (d) two solutions
3. If the lines given by 2x + k y = 1 and 3x – 5y = 7 are parallel, then the value of k is
−10
(a)-7 (b)10 (c) -10 (d) 3
4. One equation of a pair of dependent linear equations is 2x + 5y = 3. The second equation will be
(a) 2x + 5y = 6 (b) 3x + 5y = 3 (c) -10x – 25y + 15 = 0 (d) 10x + 25y = 15
5. If x = a, y = b is the solution of the equations x + y = 5 and 2x – 3y = 4, then the values of a and b
are respectively
(a) (6, -1) (b)( 2, 3 )(c) (1, 4 )(d) (19/5, 6/5)
6. Assertion: The graphical representation of a pair of equations 4x + 3y – 1 = 5 and 12x + 9y =
15 will be parallel lines.
Reason: If the given pair of equations has no solution. That means the lines representing the
given pair of equations are parallel to each other.
a) both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion
b) both assertion and reason are correct but the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion
c) assertion is correct but the reason is false
d) both assertion and reason are false
7. Assertion: The linear equations x−2y−3=0 and 3x+4y−20=0 have exactly one solution.
Reason: The linear equations 2x+3y−9=0 and 4x+6y−18=0 have a unique solution.
a) both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is a correct explanation for the assertion
b) both assertion and reason are correct but the reason is a correct explanation for the assertion
c) assertion is correct but the reason is false
d) both assertion and reason are false
8. Age of a father is 7 years more than 3 times the present age of his son. The above statement can
be expressed in a linear equation as --------------
9 For what value of 𝑘, the following pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions? 10𝑥 +
5𝑦 − (𝑘 − 5) = 0 20𝑥 +10𝑦 − 𝑘 = 0
10 For what value of 𝑘 will the following pair of linear equations have no solution?
2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 9; 6𝑥 +(𝑘 − 2)𝑦 = (3𝑘 − 2).

12. A man’s age is three times the sum of the ages of his two sons. After 5 years, his age will be twice
the sum of his two son’s age. Find the age of the man.
13. CHALLENGE QUESTIONS
A part of the monthly Hostel charge is fixed and the remaining depends on the number of days
one has taken food in the mess. When Swati takes food for 20 days, she has to pay 13000 as
hostel charges whereas, Mansi who takes food for 25 days pays? 3500 as hostel charges. Find the
fixed charges and the cost of food per day.
