\nOption (B) & (D) is correct<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\n(B) 2x + 5y = \u201411 and 4,r + 10y = -22
\nPut x = 2 and y = -3 in both the equations,
\nLHS = 2x + 5y \u21d2 2 x 2 + (-3)
\n\u21d2 4- 15 = -11 = RHS
\nLHS = 4x + 10y -> 4(2) + 10(-3)
\n\u21d28 – 30 – 22 = RHS
\n(D) x – 4y – 14 = 0 and 5x – y – 13 = 0
\nx – 4y = 14 and 5x – y = 13
\nPut x = 2 and y = -3 in both the equations,
\nLHS = x – 4y \u21d2 2 – 4(- 3) \u21d2 2 + 12 = 14 = RHS
\nLHS = 5x – y\u00a0 \u21d2 5(2) – (- 3) \u21d2 10 + 3 = 13 = RHS<\/p>\n

Question 10.<\/p>\n

\n(C) 15 and 35
\n(D) 25 and 25
\nAnswer:
\n(D) 25 and 25<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\nLet the number of \u20b9 1 coins = x and the number of \u20b9 2 coins = y
\nSo, according to the question,
\nx + y = 50 ………(i)
\nx + 2y =75 ………(ii)
\nSubtracting equation (i) from (ii),
\ny = 25
\nSubstituting value of y in (i)x = 25
\nSo, y = 25 and x = 25<\/p>\n

Question 11.<\/p>\n

The father’s age is six times his son’s age. Four years hence, the age of the father will be four times his son’s age. The present ages, in years, of the son and the father are, respectively:<\/h2>\n

(A) 4 and 24
\n(B) 5 and 30
\n(C) 6 and 36
\n(D) 3 and 24
\nAnswer:
\n(C) 6 and 36
\nExplanation:
\nLet the present age of father be x years and the present age of son be y years.
\n\u2234 According to the question,
\nx = 6y …(i)
\nAge of the father after lour years = (x + 4) years
\nAge of son after four years = (y + 4) years Now, according to the question,
\nx + 4 = 4(y + 4)
\nx + 4 = 4(y + 4)
\nx +4 = 4y + 16
\n\u21d2 6y – 4y = 16 – 4
\n\u21d2 2y = 12
\n\u21d2 y = 6
\nx = 6 \u00d7 6 = 36 years
\ny = 6 years
\nSo, the present ages of the son and the father are 6 yeaers and 36 years, respectiveiy.<\/p>\n

Question 12.<\/p>\n

If x = a, y = fa is the solution of the equations x – y = 2 and x + y = 4, then the values of a and fa are, respectively<\/h2>\n

(A) 3 and 5
\n(B) 5 and 3
\n(C) 3 and 1
\n(D) – 1 and 3
\nAnswer:
\n(C) 3 and 1<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\nIf (a, b) is the solution of the given equations, then it must satisfy the given equations, so,
\na – b = 2 ………(i)
\n17 a + b = 4 ……. (ii)
\n\u21d2 2a = 6[Adding (i) and (ii) ]
\n\u21d2 a = 3
\nNow, 3 + 6 = 4
\n\u21d2 b = 1
\nSo, (a, b) = (3, 1).<\/p>\n

Question 13.<\/p>\n

The larger of two supplementary angles exceed the smaller by 18\u00b0, then the angles are:<\/h2>\n

(A) 99\u00b0, 81\u00b0
\n(B) 98\u00b0, 82\u00b0
\n(C) 97\u00b0, 83\u00b0
\n(D) None of these.
\nAnswer:
\n(A) 99\u00b0, 81\u00b0<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\nLet one angle be x.
\nThen, other angle (it’s supplementary angle)
\n= (180\u00b0 – x)
\nGiven, x + 18\u00b0 = (180\u00b0 – x)
\n2x = 180\u00b0 – 18\u00b0
\n2x = 162\u00b0
\nx = 81\u00b0
\nother angle = 180\u00b0 – 81\u00b0 = 99\u00b0
\nHence two required angles are 81\u00b0 and 99\u00b0<\/p>\n

(A) \\(30, \\frac{5}{7}\\)
\n(B) \\(31, \\frac{-5}{7}\\)
\n(C) \\(32, \\frac{5}{7}\\)
\n(D) None of these.
\nAnswer:
\n(B) \\(31, \\frac{-5}{7}\\)
\nExplanation:
\nGiven,
\n2x + y = 23 …(i) and 4x – y = 19 …(ii)
\nOn adding eQuestion (i) and (ii), we get
\n6x = 42 \u21d2 x = 7
\nputting the value of x in eQuestion (i), we get
\n\u21d214 + y =23
\n\u21d2y = 23 \u201414 = 9
\nHence, 5y – 2x = 5 x 9 – 2 x 7 = 45 – 14 =31.
\nand \\(\\frac{y}{x}\\) -2 = \\(=\\frac{9}{7}\\) -2 = \\(\\frac{9-14}{7}\\) = \\(\\frac{-5}{7}\\)<\/p>\n

Assertion and Reason Based MCQs<\/span><\/p>\n

Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.
\n(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
\n(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Question 1.<\/p>\n

Assertion (A): If the pair of linear equations 3x 4 y = 3 and 6x 4 ky = 8 does not have a solution, then the value of k = 2.
\nReason (R): If the pair of linear equations x 4 y – 4 = 0 and 2x 4 ky = 3 does not have a solution, then the value of k = 2.<\/h2>\n

Answer:
\n(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\nIn case of assertion:
\nGiven equation are:
\n3x + y – 3 = 0
\n6x + ky – 8 = 0
\nComparing eQuestion (i) with a1<\/sub> x + b1<\/sub>y + c1<\/sub> = 0 and eq. (ii) with a2<\/sub>x + b2<\/sub>y + c2<\/sub> = 0 we get,
\na1<\/sub> = 3, a2<\/sub> = 6, b1<\/sub> = 1 b2<\/sub> = k, c1<\/sub> = -3 and c2<\/sub> = – 8 Sine, given equation has solution.<\/p>\n

So,
\n\\(\\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\\) = \\(=\\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \\neq \\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\\)
\n\u21d2\\(\\frac{3}{6}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{k} \\neq \\frac{-3}{-8}\\)
\n\u21d2\\(\\frac{1}{2}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{k} \\neq \\frac{3}{8}\\)
\nEither \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{k}\\) or \\(\\frac{1}{k} \\neq \\frac{3}{8}\\)
\n\u21d2k = 2 or \\(k \\neq \\frac{3}{8}\\)
\nhenece, the value of k is 2. Thus assertion is correct.
\nIn case of reason :
\nGiven equation :
\nx + y – 4 = 0
\n2 x z + ky – 3 = 0<\/p>\n

Here \\(\\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\),\\(\\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{k}\\)
\nand \\(\\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{-4}{-3}\\) = \\(\\frac{4}{3}\\)
\nSystem has solution
\n\u21d2\\(\\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\\) =\\(\\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \\neq \\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\\)
\n\\(\\frac{1}{2}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{k} \\neq \\frac{4}{3}\\)
\nk =2 or k \u21d2\\(k \\neq \\frac{3}{4}\\)
\nHence, the value of k is 2.
\nThus, reason is correct. Hence both assetion and reason are correct but reason is not the correc t explanation for assertion.<\/p>\n

Question 2.<\/p>\n

Assertion (A): For all real values of c, the pair of equations x – 2y = 8 and 5x – 10y = c have a unique solution.
\nReason (R): Two lines are given to be parallel. The equation of one of the lines is 4x + 3y = 14,12x + 9y = 5.<\/h2>\n

Answer:
\n(D) A is false and R is True<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\nIn case of assertion:
\nx -2y = 8
\n5x – 10 = c
\n\u21d2 \\(\\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{5}\\), \\(\\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{-2}{10}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{5}\\) and = \\(\\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{-8}{-c}\\)= \\(=\\frac{8}{c}\\)
\nAs \\(\\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\\), so system of equations can never have unique solution.
\n\u2234 Assertion is incorrect.
\nIn case of reason:
\nThe equation of one line is 4x + 3y = 14. We know that if two lines a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 are parallel, then
\n\\(\\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\\)
\nor \\(\\frac{4}{a_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{3}{b_{2}}\\) =\\(\\frac{-14}{c_{2}}\\)
\n\u21d2\\(\\frac{a_{2}}{b_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{4}{3}=\\) \\(\\frac{12}{9}\\)
\nhence one of the possible, second parallel line is 12 x + 9y = 5.
\n\u2234 Reason is correct.
\nHence assetin is in correct but reason is correct.<\/p>\n

Question 3.<\/p>\n

Assertion (A): If the equation 3x – y + 8 = 0 and 6x – ky = -16 represent coincident lines, then the value of k = 2.
\nReason (R): If the lines given by 3x + 2Ay = 2 and 2x + 5y + 1 = 0 are parallel, then the value of k is 15.<\/h2>\n

Answer:
\n(C) A is true but R is false<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\nIn case of assertion:
\n3x – y = -18
\n6x – ky = -16
\nFor coincident lines,
\n\u21d2 \\(\\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\\) =\\(\\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\\)
\n\u21d2 \\(\\frac{3}{6}\\) = \\(\\frac{-1}{-k}\\) = \\(\\frac{-8}{-16}\\)
\n\u21d2 \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{k}\\) = \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\)
\nSo, k = 2.
\n\u2234 Assertion is correct.
\nIn case of reason:
\nFor parallel lines ( or no solution)
\n\\(\\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\\) = \\(\\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}\\)
\n\u21d2 \\(\\frac{3}{2}\\) = \\(\\frac{2 k}{5}\\) = \\(\\frac{-2}{1}\\)
\n\u21d2 4k = 15
\n\u21d2 k = \\(\\frac{15}{4}\\)
\n\u2234 Reason is incorrect.
\nHence, assertion is but reason is incorrect.<\/p>\n

\nReason (R): Sum of the ages of a father and the son is 40 years. If father’s age is 3 times that of his son, then the son’s age is 12 years.<\/h2>\n

Answer:
\n(C) A is true but R is false<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\nIn case of assertion:
\nLet cost of 1 chair be \u20b9 x and cost of 1 table be \u20b9 y
\nAccording to the question,
\n4x + +3y = 2100
\n5x + 2y = 1750
\nMultiplying eqn. (i) by 2and enQuestion (ii) by 3, we get
\n8x + 6y = 4200
\n15x + 6y = 5250
\neqn. (iv) – eqn.(iii)
\n\u21d2 7x = 1050
\n\u21d2x = 150
\nSubstituting the value of x in (i) we gel y = 500 Thus, the cost of one chair and one table are \u2234 150 and \u2234 500 respectively.
\n\u2234 Assertion is correct. is
\nIn case of reason:
\nLet age of father and son be x and y respectively.
\nThen, x + y =40 …(i)
\nand x = 3y …(ii)
\nBy solving eqns. (i) and (ii), we get
\nx = 30 and y = 10
\nThus, the ages of father and son are 30 years and 10 years.
\n\u2234 Reason is incorrect.
\nHence, Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.<\/p>\n

\nReason (R): The angles of a triangle are x, y and 40\u00b0. The difference between the two angles x and y is 30\u00b0, then A = 85\u00b0 and y = 55\u00b0.<\/h2>\n

Answer:
\n(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A<\/p>\n

Explanation:
\nIn case of assertion:
\nGiven Aial,
\n\u2220C = 3\/B = 2(\u2220A + \u2220B) 3\u2220B = 2(\u2220A +\u2220B)
\n3\u2220B = 2(\u2220A + 2\u2220B)
\n3\u2220B =2 \u2220A + 2 \u2220B
\n\u2220B = 2 \u2220A
\n2 \u2220A -\u2220B = 0 …(i)
\nWe know that the sum ot the measures of all angles of a triangle is 180″. Therefore,
\n\u2220A + \u2220B + \u2220C = 180\u00b0
\n\u2220A + \u2220B + 3\u2220B = 180\u00b0
\n\u2220A + 4\u2220B = 180\u00b0 …(ii)
\nMultiplying equation (i) by 4, we obtain
\n8\u2220A – 4\u2220B = 0 ……….(iii)
\nAdding equations (ii) and (iii), we obtain
\n9\u2220A = 180\u00b0
\n\u2220A = 20\u00b0
\n\u2234 Assertion is correct.
\nIn case of reason:
\nGiven that, A, y and 40\u00b0are the angels of a triangle.
\nx + y + 40\u00b0 = 180\u00b0
\n[Since the sum of all the angels of a triangle is 180\u00b0]
\n\u21d2 x + y = 140\u00b0 …(i)
\nAlso, x – y =30\u00b0 …(ii)
\nOn adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\n2x = 170\u00b0
\n\u21d2x = \\(\\frac{170^{\\circ}}{2}\\)
\n\u21d2 x = 85\u00b0
\nOn putting x = 85\u00b0 in EQuestion (i), we get
\n85\u00b0 + y = 140\u00b0
\ny = 140\u00b0 -85\u00b0 = 55\u00b0
\n\u21d2 y = 55\u00b0
\nHence, the required values of x and y are 85\u00b0 and 55\u00b0, respectively.
\n\u2234 Reason is correct.
\nHence, both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.<\/p>\n
