41. (a) Let the number of children = x 1
The number of adults = y
Now it is given that Manoj donated 2 apples to each children and 3
apples to each adult
Total number of apples distributed
= 3x + 2y
Again Manoj distributed 60 total apples.
Hence the linear
equation in two variable for the given situation is 2x + 3y = 60.
Hence the correct option is (iii) 2x + 3y = 60
(b) Now it is given that the number of children is 15
So x = 15
Let the number of adults = y
2x + 3y = 60
⇒ 2 × 15 + 3y = 60
⇒ 30 + 3y = 60
⇒ 3y = 60 – 30 = 30
⇒ 3y = 30
⇒ y = 10
So the number of adults = 10
Hence the correct option is (i) 10

Answer: (c) Infinitely many solutions
Explanation:
a1/a2 = 1/-4
b1/b2 = 2/-8 = 1/-4
c1/c2 = -5/20 = -¼
This shows:
a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
Therefore, the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions.

112. Answer: (d) Intersecting or coincident 1

Explanation: Because the two lines definitely have a solution.

113. Answer: (d) No solution 1

Explanation: Given, 9x + 3y + 12 = 0 and 18x + 6y + 26 = 0
a1/a2 = 9/18 = 1/2
b1/b2 = 3/6 = 1/2
c1/c2 = 12/26 = 6/13
Since, a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2
So, the pairs of equations are parallel and the lines never intersect each other at
any point, therefore there is no possible solution.
114. Answer: (b) 15/4 1
Explanation: The condition for parallel lines is:
a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2
Hence, 3/2 = 2k/5
k=15/4

115. Answer: (a) 3 and 1 1

Explanation: x-y =2
x=2+y
Substituting the value of x in the second equation we get;
2+y+y=4
2+2y=4
2y = 2
y=1
 Now putting the value of y, we get;
x=2+1 = 3
Hence, the solutions are x=3 and y=1.

116. Answer: (c) 5/12 1

Explanation: Let the fraction be x/y
So, as per the question given,
(x -1)/y = 1/3 => 3x – y = 3…………………(1)
x/(y + 8) = 1/4 => 4x –y =8 ………………..(2)
Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get
x = 5 ………………………………………….(3)
Using this value in equation (2), we get,
4×5 – y = 8
y= 12
Therefore, the fraction is 5/12.

117. Answer: (a) ⅕ and -2 1

Explanation: Let 1/x = m
4m + 3y = 14
3m – 4y = 23
By cross multiplication we get;
m/(-69-56) = y/(-42-(-92)) = 1/(-16-9)
m/-125=y/50=-1/25
m/-125 = -1/25 and y/50=-1/25
m=5 and y=-2
m=1/x or x=1/m = ⅕
118. Answer: (c) 6km/hr and 4km/hr 1
Explanation: Let, Speed of Ritu in still water = x km/hr
Speed of Stream = y km/hr
Now, speed of Ritu, during,
Downstream = x + y km/h
Upstream = x – y km/h
As per the question given,
2(x+y) = 20
Or x + y = 10……………………….(1)
And, 2(x-y) = 4
Or x – y = 2………………………(2)
Adding both the equations, we get,
2x=12
x=6
 Putting the value of x in eq.1, we get,
y=4
Therefore,
Speed of Ritu is still water = 6 km/hr
Speed of Stream = 4 km/hr

119. Answer: (d) intersecting at (a, b) 1

The pair of equations x = a and y = b graphically represents lines which are
intersecting at (a, b).

120. Answer: (b) a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 1

If the lines representing the pair of linear equations a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x +
b2y + c2 = 0 are coincident, then a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2.
