Solution:: 30 Exemplar Problems

The document solves a system of three linear equations to find the vertices of a triangle. It pairs the equations and solves them, finding that the three vertices are (1,0), (3,-1), and (2,5). Then it presents a new word problem about Jamila selling furniture at different profit percentages and asks to find the original cost of each item.

30 EXEMPLAR PROBLEMS

5x – y = 5, x + 2y = 1 and 6x + y = 17.
Solution:
The vertex of a triangle is the common solution of the two equations forming its two
sides. So, solving the given equations pairwise will give the vertices of the triangle.
From the given equations, we will have the following three pairs of equations:
5x – y = 5 and x + 2y = 1
x + 2y = 1 and 6x + y = 17
5x – y = 5 and 6x + y = 17
Solving the pair of equations
5x – y = 5
x + 2y = 1
we get, x = 1, y = 0
So, one vertex of the triangle is (1, 0)
Solving the second pair of equations
x + 2y = 1
6x + y = 17
we get x = 3, y = –1
So, another vertex of the triangle is (3, –1)
Solving the third pair of equations
5x – y = 5
6x + y = 17,
we get x = 2, y = 5.
So, the third vertex of the triangle is (2, 5). So, the three vertices of the triangle are
(1, 0), (3, –1) and (2, 5).
Sample Question 3 : Jamila sold a table and a chair for Rs 1050, thereby making a
profit of 10% on the table and 25% on the chair. If she had taken a profit of 25% on the
table and 10% on the chair she would have got Rs 1065. Find the cost price of each.
Solution : Let the cost price of the table be Rs x and the cost price of the chair
be Rs y.
