Chapter 7 - Linear Equations in Two Variables Excercise 7.33

Question 1

If (4, 19) is a solution of the equation y = ax + 3, then a = 

(a) 3

(b) 4

(c) 5

(d) 6

Solution 1

y = ax + 3

If (4, 19) is its solution, then it must satisfy the equation.

Thus, we have

19 = a × 4 + 3

i.e. 4a = 16

i.e. a = 4

Hence, correct option is (b).

Question 2

If (a, 4) lies on the graph of 3x + y = 10, then the value of a is

(a) 3

(b) 1

(c) 2

(d) 4

Solution 2

3x + y = 10

If (a, 4) lies on its graph, then it must satisfy the equation.

Thus, we have

3(a) + 4 = 10

i.e. 3a = 6

i.e. a = 2

Hence, correct option is (c).

Question 3

The graph of the linear equation 2x - y = 4 cuts x-axis at

(a) (2, 0)

(b) (-2, 0)

(c) (0, -4)

(d) (0, 4)

Solution 3

On x-axis, the y-co-ordinate is always 0.

So, 2x - y = 4 will cut the x-axis where y = 0

i.e. 2x = 4

i.e. x = 2

Thus, 2x - y = 4 will cut the x-axis at (2, 0).

Hence, correct option is (a).

Question 4

How many linear equations are satisfied by x = 2 and y = -3?

(a) Only one

(b) Two

(c) Three

(d) Infinitely many

Solution 4

From Point (2, -3) there are infinitely many lines passing in every-direction.

So (2, -3) is satisfied with infinite linear equations.

Hence, correct option is (d).

Question 5

The equation x - 2 = 0 on number line is represented by

(a) a line

(b) a point

(c) infinitely many lines

(d) two lines

Solution 5

Given equation is x – 2 = 0.

If this is treated as an equation in one variable x only, then it has the unique solution x = 2, which is a point on the number line. 

However, when treated as an equation in two variables, it can be expressed as x - 2 = 0.

So as, an equation in two variables, x – 2 = 0 is represented by a single line parallel to y-axis at a distance of 2 units.

Hence, correct option is (a).

Question 6

x = 2, y = -1 is a solution of the linear equation

(a) x + 2y = 0

(b) x + 2y = 4

(c) 2x + y = 0

(d) 2x + y = 5

Solution 6

Substituting x = 2 and y = -1 in the following equations:

L.H.S. = x + 2y = 2 + 2(-1) = 2 - 2 = 0 = R.H.S.

L.H.S. = x + 2y = 2 + 2(-1) = 2 - 2 = 0 ≠ 4 ≠ R.H.S.

L.H.S. = 2x + y = 2(2) + (-1) = 4 - 1 = 3 ≠ 0 ≠ R.H.S.

L.H.S. = 2x + y = 2(2) + (-1) = 4 - 1 = 3 ≠ 5 ≠ R.H.S.

Hence, correct option is (a).

Question 7

If (2k - 1, k) is a solution of the equation 10x - 9y = 12, then k =

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 4

Solution 7

If (2k - 1, k) is solution of equation 10x - 9y = 12, then it must satisfy this equation.

Thus, we have

10(2k - 1) - 9k = 12

20k - 10 - 9k = 12

11k = 22

k = 2

Hence, correct option is (b).

Question 8

The distance between the graph of the equations x = -3 and x = 2 is

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 5

Solution 8

The distance between the graph of the equations x = -3 and x = 2

= 2 - (-3)

= 2 + 3

= 5

Hence, correct option is (d).

Question 9

The distance between the graphs of the equations y = -1 and y = 3 is

(a) 2

(b) 4

(c) 3

(d) 1

Solution 9

The distance between given two graphs

= 3 - (-1)

= 3 + 1

= 4

Hence, correct option is (b).

Question 10

If the graph of the equation 4x + 3y = 12 cuts the coordinate axes at A and B, then hypotenuse of right triangle AOB is of length

(a) 4 units

(b) 3 units

(c) 5 units

(d) none of these
