Q2 of 30 Page 56

Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solutions(if they exist) by the elimination method :

(i) If we add 1 to the numerator and subtract 1 from the denominator, a fraction reduces to 1. It becomesif we only add 1 to the denominator. What is the fraction?


(ii) Five years ago, Nuri was thrice as old as Sonu. Ten years later, Nuri will be twice a sold as Sonu. How old are Nuri and Sonu?


(iii) The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. Also, nine times this number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of the digits. Find the number.


(iv) Meena went to a bank to withdraw Rs 2000. She asked the cashier to give her Rs 50 and Rs 100 notes only. Meena got 25 notes in all. Find how many notes of Rs 50 and Rs 100 she received.


(v) A lending library has a fixed charge for the first three days and an additional charge for each day thereafter. Saritha paid Rs 27 for a book kept for seven days, while Susy paid Rs 21 for the book she kept for five days. Find the fixed charge and the charge for each extra day.

i) Let the fraction is =


According condition (i)


=


= x + 1 = y - 1


= x - y = -2..................(i)


According condition (ii)


=


= 2x = y + 1


= 2x - y = 1..................(ii)


Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii) we get,


x = 3


Putting value of x in equation (i) we get,


3 - y = -2


= - y = - 5 and y = 5


Hence, the required fraction is


ii) Let present age of Nuri = x


Let present age of Sonu = y


According to condition (i)


=


=


According condition (ii)


=


=


Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii) we get,


y = 20


Putting value of y in equation (i) we get,


x - 60 = -10


x = 50


Hence,


Present age of Nuri = %0 years


Present age of Sonu = 20 yrears


iii) Let the unit digit of number = x


Let tens digit = y


so number = 10y + x


Number formed after reversing the digits = 10x + y


According to the question,


x + y = 9 ...................(i)


9(10y + x) = 2(10x + y)


= 90y + 9x = 20x + 2y


= 88y -11x = 0


= - x + 8y = 0..................(ii)


Adding equations (i) and (ii). we get,


9y = 9


= y =


Putting value of y in equation (i), we get,


x = 8


Hence,


The required number is = 10y + x = 10×1+8 = 18


iv) Let the number of Rs, 50 notes = x


Let the number of Rs, 100 notes = y


According to the question,


x + y = 25 ......................(i)


50x + 100y = 2000...............(ii)


Multiplying equation (i) by 50 we get,


50x + 50y = 1250.................(iii)


Subtracting equation (iii) from equation (ii) . we get,


50 y = 750


= y =


Putting value of y in equation (i) we get,


x = 10


Hence,


Meena has 10 notes of Rs, 50 and 15 notes of Rs, 100.


v) Let the fixed charge for first three days = Rs. x


Let each day charge there after = Rs. y


According to the question,


x + 4y = 27.................(i)


x + 2y = 21 ................(ii)


Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i) we get,


2y = 6


= y =


Putting value of y in equation (i). we get,


x + 12 = 27


= x = 27 - 12 = 15


Hence,


Fixed charge = Rs. 15


Charge per day = Rs. 3
