Detailed Solutions

a b
1. These equations are consistent if = i.e. ad = bc. Ans.(1)
c d
2. Let C.P. of a book = Rs. x and C.P. of a pencil Rs. y.
Then, 6x + 4y = 34 and 5x + 5y = 30.
Solving these equations, we get x = 5 and y = 1. Ans.(2)
3. Let the numbers be x and y.
Then, x + y = 80 and x – 4y = 5.
Solving these we get : y = 15. Ans.(2)
4. Let the numbers be x and y.
Then x – y = 5 and x 2 – y 2 = 65.

x2 − y2 65
∴ = ⇔ x + y = 13. Ans.(1)
x−y 5
5. Let ten’s digit = x and unit digit = y.
Then x + y = 10 and 10x + y – 18 = 10y + x
∴ x + y = 10 and x – y = 2. So, x = 6 and y = 4.
So, the number is 64. Ans.(1)
6. Let ten’s digit = x and unit digit = y. Then,
∴ x + y = 9 and (10y + x) – (10x + y) = 27
∴ x + y = 9 and – x + y= 3. So, x = 3 and y = 6.
So, the number is 36. Ans.(1)
7. Let their income be 4x, 3x and expenditures be 3y, 2y.
Then, 4x – 3y = 600 and 3x – 2y = 600.
Solving these equations, we get : x = 600 and y = 600.
∴ Income of A = 4x = Rs. 2400. Ans.(1)
8. Let number of boys be x and number of girls by y.

25 50
Then, x + y = 150, x+ y = 49.
100 100
Solving x + y = 150, x + 2y = 196, we get x = 104. Ans.(3)
9. Let the number of 20-paise stamps be x and 15-paise stamps be y.

20 15
Then, x + y = 47, x+ y = 8.80.
100 100
Solving x + y = 47 and 4x + 3y = 176, we get : x = 35 and y = 12. Ans.(3)
10. Let the number of 25-paise coins be x and that of 10-paise coins be y.

25 10 1
Then, x+ y = 8.25 and x = y..
100 100 3
Solving 5x + 2y = 165 and y = 3x we get x = 15 and y = 45.
Total number of coins in the purse = (x + y) = 60. Ans.(4)
