For the two equations, According to the given conditions,

5x 2x
a 1 x + b 1 y = c1 − = 2877
2 5
25x − 4x
a 2 x + b 2 y = c2 = 2877

a2 b2 c2 x = × 21 × 137
21

Here, or, x = 1370

kx + 9y = 15 + 6x Thus, the required number is 1370.
(k − 6)x + 9y – 15 = 0 . . . . . (1)
Q5 Text Solution:
Similarly,
Rewriting the equations, we have
or, 20x + (k − 3)y – 25 = 0 … . . (2)
2x + 3y + 2 = 0
For an infinite number of solutions,

Let the numbers be x and y. Hence, the system has exactly one real solution
Then, ATQ at x = − 1 and y = 0 .
x + y = 115 ….. (i) Option (C) is correct.
x – y = 43 ….(ii)
Q6 Text Solution:
Then, solving we get
Let x, y be the number of adult tickets and
2x = 158
children’s tickets sold.
x= = 79
158

2
Then, ATQ,
The numbers are 79 and (115 – 79 = 36)
x+ y = 550 …...(i)
Hence, the required average
79+36
7.50x + 3.50y = 3205 …. (ii)
= = 57.5
2
From (i), we have
Q3 Text Solution: y = 550 - x …… (iii)
The system of the equations can be written as Using (iii) and (ii) we get
2
x + 3x + 10 = y 7.50x + 3.50(550 - x) = 3205
10 − 3x + y = 0 => x = 320.
Equating the equations, we have Again, solving for y we get
2
x + 3x + 10 = 3x − 10
y = 230
2
x = − 20
Hence, 230 children’s tickets were sold.
But no real value exists whose square is a
negative number. Q7 Text Solution:

Hence, the system has no real solution. Let the price of the sharpener be Rs. x and the
price of the eraser be Rs. y.

3x + y = 86 …… (ii)
Solving for y we get,
From (i), we have
y=5
x = 34 - 3y ….. (iii)
Substituting y = 5 into (iii) we get
17−5 Using (ii) and (iii) we have
x = = 6

Solving for y, we get 5z + 3w = 55 . . . . . . . . (3)

y = 21 Adding equations (1), (2) and (3), we get,

Substituting y = 21, into the equation (iii), we get 5w + 5x + 5y + 5z = 150

11(21−5)
=> w + x + y + z = 30

Hence option (a) is correct.
Q14 Text Solution:
Let the fixed amount be x and the cost of each Q17 Text Solution:
unit be y. Let the two-digit number N be (10X + Y), where
Then as per the given X and Y are the digits of N.
480y + x = 1600………..(1) When its digits are reversed, it becomes (10Y +
550y + x = 1810………..(2) X).
By solving, we get When 2 is subtracted from (10Y + X), the number
70y = 210 becomes twice as big as (10X + Y).
y=3 So, (10Y + X) – 2 = 2(10X + Y)
Hence x = 160 Or, 10Y + X = 20X + 2Y + 2
∴ Fixed charges = 160 Or, 8Y – 19X = 2 ………… (i)
Total charges when 600 units are consumed, Also, the sum of the digits is 7.
= 160 + 600 × 3 = 1960 So, X + Y = 7………….. (ii)
Hence [d] is the correct choice. Multiplying equation (ii) with 8, and subtracting
equation (i) from it, we get
Q15 Text Solution:
27X = 54
Let the number be xy.
Or, X = 2.
Given,
Putting X = 2 in equation (ii), we get
y - x = 2 -------(1)
Y = 5.
And,
So, the difference of the digits is 3.
5(10x + y) = 4(10y + x) + 7 --------(2)
From (1) we get x = y - 2 Q18 Text Solution:
Putting x = y - 2 in equation (2) Let the number of samples of Variety A be x,
5(10x + y) = 4(10y + x) + 7 and that of Variety B be y.
50x + 5y = 40y + 4x + 7 Then, x = 2y + 3 ………….. (i)
46 (y - 2) = 35y + 7 As Variety A has three blades each and Variety
11y = 99 B has four blades each, so the total number of
y=9 blades should be 3x + 4y.
And x = y - 2 = 7 So, 3x + 4y = 89 …………. (ii)

So, a – 5 = 4(b – 5) + 5 A, M and G.
Or, a – 5 = 4b – 20 + 5 5A + 11M + 6G = 355 … … . 1
Or, a – 4b = (-10) ………. (i) 12A + 4M + 3G = 375 … … . . 2

6 years hence, the age of Amar will be 4 years 4A + 7M + 3G = 310 … … . . . 3

more than twice the age of Bimal. By (2 + 3) – (1) so;

So, a + 6 = 2(b + 6) + 4 16A + 11M + 6G = 685

Or, a + 6 = 2b + 12 + 4 5A + 11M + 6G = 355

So, 11A = 330

Or, a – 2b = 10 ………… (ii)
A = 30
Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii), we
So, 3A = 90.
get
(2b) = (20) Q22 Text Solution:
or, b = 10 Let the total number of seats be x .
So, a = (-10) + 4b The number of seats won by party P = x – 20

will get the value of y. On multiplying the equation A by 3 and
8(11- y) - 19y = 7 equation B by 2
88 - 8y -19y = 7 [15a + 6b = 195] …………..(C)
27y = 81 [16a + 6b = 206] ………….(D)
y=3 By (D - C) we get,
Now, x = 11 - 3 = 8 a = 11
So, the number is 83. Since, a = x + y + z (which is the sum of cost of 1

Q25 Text Solution: pen, 1 chocolate and 1 ice cream).

Let V1 = 3x and V2 = 4x
Hence, x + y + z = Rs. 11

and V3 = 5y and V4 = 4y Q27 Text Solution:

therefore, 3x + 5y = 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . (i) Let the present age of Rahul and Dev is x years
4x + 4y = 44 and y years respectively.
or, 12 years ago, Rahul’s age = (x - 12) years
x + y = 11 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dev’s age = (y - 12) years
. (ii) According, to the given condition,
multiplying equation (ii) with 3 we get (x - 12) + (y - 12) =

. . . . . (iv) Or, 3x + 3y - 72 = 2x + 2y
subtracting equation (iv) from equation (i) Or, x + y = 72 --------(1)
we get, 2y = 12 It is given that the present age of Rahul is 3
or, y = 6 times the present age of Dev.
putting the value of y in equation (ii) we get x = 3y---------(2)
x = 5 Putting x = 3y in equation(1) we get 4y = 72
Or, y = 18

Present age of Dev = 18 years So, 2x + 3y + 2z = A, and 6x + 4y + 6z = 2A

After 10 years, Dev’s age = (18 + 10) = 28 years. => 3x + 2y + 3z = A

Q28 Text Solution: From the 2 equations, 2x + 3y + 2z = 3x + 2y + 3z

Let the present age of Angelika and her son => y = x + z

and her daughter is A, s and d respectively. Therefore, the required percentage =

3y

By the problem 2x + 3y + 2z
×100
3y
A = 4s -------(1) = 2y + 3y
× 100
Four years later, the age of Angelika and her =

daughter will be = 60%.

(A + 4)years and (d + 4) years respectively.
It is given that
(A + 4) = 4(d + 4)
Or, A + 4 = 4d + 16
Or, A - 4d = 12
Or, 4s - 4d = 12 (As, A = 4s from (1))
Or, 4(s - d) = 12
Or, (s - d) = 3
Therefore, the required difference between the
ages of the son and the daughter is 3 years.

Q29 Text Solution:

We know that, number of heads is the same as
the number of animals.
We also know that pigs have 4 legs, and hens
have 2 legs.
So, if we assume the number of pigs to be x,
and the number of hens to be y, then
x + y = 52 ………….. (i)
Now, total number of legs of the pigs = 4x
Total number of legs of the hens = 2y
Therefore, 4x – 2y = 16
Or, Simplifying 2x – y = 8
Or, y = 2x – 8 ………. (ii)
Substituting the value of y from (ii) to (i), we get
x + 2x – 8 = 52
3x = 60
x = 20
Therefore, y = 52 – 20 = 32
Hence, the total number of legs must be
20(4) + 32(2) = 144
