CASE STUDY 1:
The below picture are few natural examples of parabolic shape which is
represented by a quadratic polynomial. A parabolic arch is an arch in
the shape of a parabola. In structures, their curve represents an
efficient method of load, and so can be found in bridges and in
architecture in a variety of forms.

Case Study Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 3 - Pair of Linear
Equations in Two Variables
CASE STUDY-1:
A test consists of ‘True’ or ‘False’ questions. One mark is awarded for every correct
answer while ¼ mark is deducted for every wrong answer. A student knew answers
to some of the questions. Rest of the questions he attempted by guessing. He
answered 120 questions and got 90 marks.

1. If answer to all questions he attempted by guessing were wrong, then how many
questions did he answer correctly?

2. How many questions did he guess?

3. If answer to all questions he attempted by guessing were wrong and answered


80 correctly, then how many marks he got?

4. If answer to all questions he attempted by guessing were wrong, then how many
questions answered correctly to score 95 marks?

Answers:
Let the no of questions whose answer is known to the student x and questions
attempted by cheating be y

x + y =120

x – 1/4y =90

solving these two

x = 96 and y = 24

1. He answered 96 questions correctly.

2. He attempted 24 questions by guessing.

3. Marks = 80- ¼ 0f 40 =70

4. x – 1/4 of (120 – x) = 95

5x = 500, x = 100
CASE STUDY-2:
Amit is planning to buy a house and the layout is given below. The design and the
measurement has been made such that areas of two bedrooms and kitchen
together is 95 sq.m.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

1. Form the pair of linear equations in two variables from this situation.

2. Find the length of the outer boundary of the layout.

3. Find the area of each bedroom and kitchen in the layout.

4. Find the area of living room in the layout.

5. Find the cost of laying tiles in kitchen at the rate of Rs. 50 per sq.m.

ANSWER:
1. Area of two bedrooms= 10x sq.m

Area of kitchen = 5y sq.m

10x + 5y = 95

2x + y =19

Also, x + 2+ y = 15

x + y = 13

2. Length of outer boundary = 12 + 15 + 12 + 15 = 54m

3. On solving two equation part(i)

x = 6m and y = 7m

area of bedroom = 5 x 6 = 30m

area of kitchen = 5 x 7 = 35m

4. Area of living room = (15 x 7) – 30 = 105 – 30 = 75 sq.m


5. Total cost of laying tiles in the kitchen = Rs50 x 35 = Rs1750

Case study-3:

various factors such as inflation ( a general increase in prices and fall in the
purchasing value of money) on different types of vehicles like auto, Rickshaws,

with the charge for the distance covered. Study the following situations:

Name of the city Distance travelled (Km) Amount paid (Rs.)


City A 10 75
15 110
City B 8 91
14 145

Progression
CASE STUDY 1:
India is competitive manufacturing location due to the low cost of manpower and
strong technical and engineering capabilities contributing to higher quality
production runs. The production of TV sets in a factory increases uniformly by a
fixed number every year. It produced 16000 sets in 6th year and 22600 in 9th
year.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
1. Find the production during first year.

2. Find the production during 8th year.

3. Find the production during first 3 years.

4. In which year, the production is Rs 29,200.

5. Find the difference of the production during 7th year and 4th year.

Answer:
1. Rs 5000

2. Production during 8th year is (a+7d) = 5000 + 2(2200) = 20400
