In the following questions 9 and 10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of
Reason (R). Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

9. Assertion (A): x = 3 and y = 2 is a solution of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 12.

Reason (R): x = 4 and y = 2 is a solution of the linear equation x + 3y = 10.
Ans: For Assertion: The given linear equation is 2x + 3y = 12
Substituting x = 3 and y = 2, we get
LHS = 2 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 6 + 6 = 12 = RHS
So, Assertion is correct.
For Reason: The given linear equation is x + 3y = 10
Substituting x = 4 and y = 2, we get
LHS = 4 + 3 x 2 = 4 + 6 = 10 = RHS
So, Reason is also correct.
But reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
Correct option is (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of assertion (A).

10. Assertion (A): The point (-2, 0) lies on y -axis and (0, 4) on x -axis.
Reason (R): Every point on the x -axis has zero distance from x -axis and every point on the y -
axis has zero distance from y -axis.
Ans: We know that Every point on the x -axis has zero distance from x -axis and every point on
the y -axis has zero distance from y -axis.
So, Reason is correct.
Now, point (-2, 0) lies on x-axis and (0, 4) on y-axis
So, Assertion is not correct
Correct option is (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

distances of points P, Q, R and S from the y-axis are 3 units, 0 unit, 22 units and –3 units
(negative sign indicates that the distance is measured along negative x-axis) respectively.

13. Find two solutions for the equation 4x + 3y = 24. How many solutions of this equation are
possible?
Ans: 4x + 3y = 24
On putting x = 0, we have 4 × 0 + 3y = 24 0 + 3y = 24 3y = 24
24
y= y=8
3
On putting y = 0, we have
4x + 3 × 0 = 24 4x + 0 = 24 4x = 24
24
x= x=6
4
Therefore, two solutions are (0, 8) and (6, 0).
Given equation is a linear equation in two variables. Therefore, it has infinitely many solutions.

14. Find the solution of the linear equation x + 2y = 8 which represents a point on the: (i) x-axis
(ii) y-axis
Ans: (i) For x-axis, y = 0
On putting y = 0 in x + 2y = 8, we have
x+2×0=8 x=8
(ii) For y-axis, x = 0
On putting x = 0 in x + 2y = 8, we have
0 + 2y = 8 y=4
Hence, point (8, 0) is a point on x-axis and point (0, 4) is a point on y-axis.

3 × (– 3) = a × 2 + 7 – 9 = 2a + 7 2a = – 9 – 7
16
2a = – 16 a= a=–8

 Please note: Graph is not mandatory; student may draw the rough graph to write the
answer
(ii) Length of LM = 7 – 3 = 4 units

17. Find the value of a and b, if the line 6bx + ay = 24 passes through (2, 0) and (0, 2).
Ans: 6bx + ay = 24 ...(i)
On putting x = 2 and y = 0 in (i), we have
6b × 2 + a × 0 = 24 12b + 0 = 24 12b = 24
24
b= b=2
12
On putting x = 0 and y = 2 in (i), we have
6b × 0 + a × 2 = 24 0 + 2a = 24 2a = 24
24
a= a = 12

Hence, value of a and b are 12 and 2 respectively.

SECTION – D
Questions 18 carry 5 marks each.

18. For what value of p; x = 2, y = 3 is a solution of (p + 1)x – (2p + 3)y – 1 = 0?

(i) Write the equation.
(ii) How many solutions of this equation are possible?
(iii) Is this line passes through the point (–2, 3)? Give justification.
Ans: Given: (p + 1)x – (2p + 3)y – 1 = 0 ...(i)
Put x = 2 and y = 3 in (i), we get
(p + 1)2 – (2p + 3)3 – 1 = 0
2p + 2 – 6p – 9 – 1 = 0
–4p + 2 – 10 = 0
–4p = 8
p = –2
(i) Substitute the value of p in (i), we get
(–2 + 1)x – [2(–1) + 3]y – 1 = 0
–x – y – 1 = 0
x + y + 1 = 0 ...(ii)
(ii) Since the given equation is a linear equation in two variables. Therefore, it has infinitely
many solutions.
(iii) Substitute x = –2 and y = 3 in L.H.S. of (ii), we have

 L.H.S. = –2 + 3 + 1 = 2 ≠ R.H.S.
Hence, the line x + y + 1 = 0 will not pass through the point (–2, 3).

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 5 -

 Ans: (a) Let the number of children be x and the number of adults be y then the linear equation in
two variable for the given situation is 2x + 3y = 60.
(b) 2x + 3y = 60 ⇒ 2(15) + 3y = 60
⇒3y = 60 – 30 = 30
⇒ y = 10
(c) 2x + 3y = 60 ⇒ 2x + 3(12) = 60
⇒2x = 60 – 36 = 24
⇒ x = 12
(d) On putting x = 5 and y = 0 in the equation 3x + 5y = b, we have
3×5+5×0=b
⇒ 15 + 0 = b
⇒ b = 15
