MediumMCQ
Two years ago,the sum of the ages of a mother,father,and two daughters was $40$ years. After three years,what will be the sum of their ages?
A
$60$
B
$40$
C
$46$
D
$50$

Solution

(A) Let the sum of the ages of the mother,father,and two daughters two years ago be $S_{-2} = 40$ years.
There are $4$ people in total.
To find the sum of their ages today (present age),we add $2$ years for each of the $4$ people:
$S_{present} = 40 + (4 \times 2) = 40 + 8 = 48$ years.
To find the sum of their ages after $3$ years from now,we add $3$ years for each of the $4$ people:
$S_{+3} = 48 + (4 \times 3) = 48 + 12 = 60$ years.
Therefore,the sum of their ages after three years will be $60$ years.

$x$ years ago,the sum of the ages of a mother,father,and two children was $y$ years. What will be the sum of their ages after $z$ years?
A
$y + 4x + 4z$
B
$x + y + z$
C
$4x + y + z$
D
$y + x + 4z$

Solution

(A) $1$. Let the sum of the ages of the mother,father,and two children $x$ years ago be $y$.
$2$. The total number of people is $4$ (mother,father,and two children).
$3$. Since $x$ years have passed since that time,each person has aged by $x$ years. Therefore,the current sum of their ages is $y + (4 \times x) = y + 4x$.
$4$. We need to find the sum of their ages after $z$ years from the current time.
$5$. In $z$ years,each of the $4$ people will age by $z$ years. Thus,the total increase in the sum of their ages will be $4 \times z = 4z$.
$6$. The sum of their ages after $z$ years will be $(y + 4x) + 4z = y + 4x + 4z$.

DifficultMCQ
The diagram given below shows two sticks $-$ one $BLACK$ and the other $WHITE$. Based on the measurements shown,what is the length of the white stick? (in $cm$)
Question diagram
A
$17$
B
$5$
C
$8.5$
D
$13.5$

Solution

(D) Let the length of the white stick be $W$ and the length of the black stick be $B$.
From the first part of the diagram,the total length of the combined sticks is $22 \ cm$,so $W + B = 22$.
From the second part of the diagram,the white stick is longer than the black stick by $5 \ cm$,so $W - B = 5$.
Adding the two equations: $(W + B) + (W - B) = 22 + 5$,which gives $2W = 27$.
Therefore,$W = 27 / 2 = 13.5 \ cm$.
The length of the white stick is $13.5 \ cm$.

MediumMCQ
Which of the following groups truly matches the data of Part $I$ with the data of Part $II$?
Part $I$ Part $II$
$1.$ The solution of $2x - y = 4$ and $3x - 2y = 5$ $a.$ $x = 3, y = 2$
$2.$ The solution of $5x - y = 14$ and $4x - 3y = 9$ $b.$ $x = 3, y = 1$
$3.$ The solution of $4x - 3y = 5$ and $3x - y = 5$ $c.$ $x = 2, y = 1$
$4.$ The solution of $3x - 2y = -1$ and $2x - 5y = -8$ $d.$ $x = 1, y = 2$
A
$(1-a), (2-b), (3-c), (4-d)$
B
$(1-b), (2-c), (3-d), (4-a)$
C
$(1-d), (2-a), (3-b), (4-c)$
D
$(1-c), (2-d), (3-a), (4-b)$

Solution

(B) To find the correct matches,we solve each system of linear equations:
$1.$ $2x - y = 4$ and $3x - 2y = 5$. From the first,$y = 2x - 4$. Substituting into the second: $3x - 2(2x - 4) = 5 \implies 3x - 4x + 8 = 5 \implies -x = -3 \implies x = 3$. Then $y = 2(3) - 4 = 2$. So,$(1-b)$.
$2.$ $5x - y = 14$ and $4x - 3y = 9$. From the first,$y = 5x - 14$. Substituting into the second: $4x - 3(5x - 14) = 9 \implies 4x - 15x + 42 = 9 \implies -11x = -33 \implies x = 3$. Then $y = 5(3) - 14 = 1$. So,$(2-c)$.
$3.$ $4x - 3y = 5$ and $3x - y = 5$. From the second,$y = 3x - 5$. Substituting into the first: $4x - 3(3x - 5) = 5 \implies 4x - 9x + 15 = 5 \implies -5x = -10 \implies x = 2$. Then $y = 3(2) - 5 = 1$. So,$(3-d)$.
$4.$ $3x - 2y = -1$ and $2x - 5y = -8$. Multiplying the first by $5$ and the second by $2$: $15x - 10y = -5$ and $4x - 10y = -16$. Subtracting: $11x = 11 \implies x = 1$. Then $3(1) - 2y = -1 \implies -2y = -4 \implies y = 2$. So,$(4-a)$.
The correct matching is $(1-b), (2-c), (3-d), (4-a)$.

MediumMCQ
Given below is a graph showing two lines. Which of the following statements is true about the solution$(s)$ of the pair of equations represented by these lines?
Question diagram
A
We cannot predict the number of solutions without knowing the algebraic form of these equations.
B
They have a unique solution.
C
They do not have any solution.
D
They have infinite solutions.

Solution

(C) From the given graph,it is observed that the two lines are parallel to each other.
Parallel lines never intersect each other at any point.
Since the solution of a pair of linear equations is the point of intersection of the lines,and these lines do not intersect,there is no common point between them.
Therefore,the pair of equations represented by these lines has no solution.

The pair of equations represented by the above figures is:
Question diagram
A
$3x = 4y, x + 2y = 10$
B
$x = y, 2x + y = 10$
C
$2x = y, 2x + y = 10$
D
$x = 2y, x + 2y = 10$

Solution

(A) Let the weight of one circle be $x$ and the weight of one square be $y$.
From the first balance,we have $3$ circles on the left and $4$ squares on the right,which are in equilibrium. Therefore,$3x = 4y$.
From the second balance,we have $1$ circle and $2$ squares on the left,and a weight of $10$ units on the right. Therefore,$x + 2y = 10$.
Thus,the pair of equations is $3x = 4y$ and $x + 2y = 10$.

MediumMCQ
Naresh has double the money that Yogesh has. If Naresh gives Yogesh ₹ $20$,then both have equal money. The pair of equations obtained from this data is $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots .$
A
$x = 2y, x - 20 = y + 20$
B
$x = 2y, y - 20 = x - 20$
C
$x = 2y, x - 20 = y$
D
$x = 2y, x - 20 = y - 20$

Solution

(A) Let the amount of money Naresh has be $x$ and the amount of money Yogesh has be $y$.
According to the first condition,Naresh has double the money of Yogesh,so $x = 2y$.
According to the second condition,if Naresh gives ₹ $20$ to Yogesh,Naresh's money becomes $(x - 20)$ and Yogesh's money becomes $(y + 20)$.
Since they now have equal amounts,we have the equation $x - 20 = y + 20$.
Thus,the pair of equations is $x = 2y$ and $x - 20 = y + 20$.

Two lines are shown in the following figure.
Which option from the following options is true for the solution of the pair of linear equations in two variables?
Question diagram
A
The solution of them is unique.
B
They do not have any solution.
C
The solution set of them is infinite.
D
They have two solutions.

Solution

(A) In the given figure,the two lines intersect each other at a single point.
According to the geometric interpretation of linear equations in two variables,if two lines intersect at a single point,the pair of linear equations has a unique solution (exactly one solution).
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

MediumMCQ
Two lines (coincident) are shown in the following graph. Which option from the following is true for the solution of the pair of linear equations in two variables?
A
The solution of them is unique.
B
Their solution set is an infinite set.
C
They do not have any solution set.
D
They have two solutions.

Solution

(B) When two lines are coincident,every point on the line is a common solution to both equations.
Since a line consists of an infinite number of points,the pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions.
Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

DifficultMCQ
Which of the following groups matches the data of Part $I$ with the data of Part $II$?
Part $I$ Part $II$
$1. x+2y=3, 2x+4y=5$ $a. \text{Solution set is a singleton set.}$
$2. 2x+3y=6, x+\frac{3}{2}y=3$ $b. \text{Solution set is an empty set.}$
$3. 3x-y=0, x-y+6=0$ $c. \text{Solution set is an infinite set.}$
$d. \text{Solution set contains two members.}$
A
$(1-c), (2-d), (3-a)$
B
$(1-b), (2-c), (3-a)$
C
$(1-a), (2-b), (3-d)$
D
$(1-d), (2-a), (3-c)$

Solution

(B) For a system of linear equations $a_1x + b_1y = c_1$ and $a_2x + b_2y = c_2$:
$1$. If $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$,the system has no solution (empty set).
$2$. If $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}$,the system has infinitely many solutions (infinite set).
$3$. If $\frac{a_1}{a_2} \neq \frac{b_1}{b_2}$,the system has a unique solution (singleton set).
Analysis:
$1. x+2y=3, 2x+4y=5$: Here $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \neq \frac{3}{5}$. This corresponds to $b$ (empty set).
$2. 2x+3y=6, x+\frac{3}{2}y=3$: Here $\frac{2}{1} = \frac{3}{1.5} = \frac{6}{3} = 2$. This corresponds to $c$ (infinite set).
$3. 3x-y=0, x-y+6=0$: Here $\frac{3}{1} \neq \frac{-1}{-1}$. This corresponds to $a$ (singleton set).
Thus,the correct match is $(1-b), (2-c), (3-a)$.
