Linear Equations in Two Variables Exercise Ex. 4.1
Solution 1

x = 2y
x - 2 y = 0
Solution 2


- 2x + 3 y - 6 = 0
a = - 2, b = 3, c = - 6
1x - 3y + 0 = 0
Comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0
a = 1, b = - 3, c = 0
2x + 5y + 0 = 0
a = 2, b = 5, c = 0
3x + 0.y + 2 = 0
a = 3, b = 0, c = 2
0.x + 1.y - 2 = 0
a = 0, b = 1, c = - 2
- 2x + 0.y + 5 = 0
Company this equation with ax + by + c = 0
a = - 2, b = 0, c = 5

Solution 1
Hence, the correct answer is (iii).
Solution 2
For x = 0
2(0) + y = 7

For x = 1

2(-1) + y = 7

2(2) + y = 7





For x = 1











For x = 0
0 = 4y

For y = 1
x = 4(1) = 4
So, (4, 1) is a solution of this equation
For y = - 1
x = 4(-1)
x = -4
So, (-4, - 1) is a solution of this equation
For x = 2
2 = 4y

Solution 3
Putting x = 0, and y = 2 in the L.H.S of given equation
x - 2y = 0 - (2

L.H.S # R.H.S
So (0, 2) is not a solution of this equation.
x - 2y = 2 - (2

L.H.S

So (2, 0) is not a solution of this equation.
Putting x = 4, and y = 0 in the L.H.S of given equation
x - 2y = 4 - 2(0)
= 4 = R.H.S
So (4, 0) is a solution of this equation.





L.H.S

So

Putting x = 1, and y = 1 in the L.H.S of given equation
x - 2y = 1 - 2(1)
L.H.S

So (1, 1) is not a solution of this equation.
Solution 4
2(2) + 3(1) = k
4 + 3 = k
k = 7

Now we may construct the graph of this equation as below
Solution 2
2x + y -18 = 0.
As we know that through one point, infinite number of lines can pass through.
So, there are infinite lines of such type passing through given point.
Solution 3
3y = ax + 7
3 (4) = a (3) + 7
5 = 3a
a =

Fair for 1st kilometre = Rs .8
Fair for rest distance = (x - 1) 5
Total fair = 8 + (x - 1) 5
y = 8 + 5x - 5
y = 5x + 3
5x - y + 3 = 0

Solution 5
We may observe that coordinates of the points of the graph satisfy the equation x + y = 0.
So, x + y = 0 is the equation corresponding to graph as shown in the first figure.
Hence (ii) is the correct answer.
So y = - x + 2 is the equation corresponding to the graph shown in the second figure.
Hence,
Solution 6
Work done

w = kd
Where k is a constant
If constant force is 5 units, work done w = 5d
Now we may observe that point (1, 5) and (-1, -5) satisfy the above equation.
So (1, 5) and (-1, -5) are solutions of this equation.
The graph can be drawn as follows:
(ii) From the graphs we may observe that the value of y corresponding to x = 0 is 0. Thus the work done by the body is 0 units when the distance traveled by it is 0 unit.
Solution 7
Amount contributed by Yamini + amount contributed by Fatima = 100
x + y = 100
Now we observe that (100, 0) and (0, 100) satisfy the above equation.
So, (100, 0) and (0, 100) are solutions of above equation.
The graph of equation x + y = 100 can be drawn as follows:
