TS 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables Optional Exercise
Question 1.
 Solve the following equations :
i) \(\frac{2 x}{a}\) + \(\frac{\mathbf{y}}{\mathbf{b}}\) = 2
 \(\frac{x}{a}\) – \(\frac{y}{b}\) = 4
 Solution:
 Given
 \(\frac{2 x}{a}\) + \(\frac{\mathbf{y}}{\mathbf{b}}\) = 2 —- (1)
 \(\frac{x}{a}\) – \(\frac{y}{b}\) = 4 — (2)
 Adding eq.(1) & (2) \(\frac{3 x}{a}\) = 6 ⇒ x = \(\frac{6 a}{3}\) = 2a
 Substituting x = 2a in the equation (1), we get
 \(\frac{2}{a}\)(2a) + \(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{b}}\) = 2
 ⇒ 4 + \(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{b}}\) = 2
 ⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{b}}\) = -2 ⇒ y = -2b
 ∴ The solution (x, y) = (7, 13)
ii) \(\frac{x+1}{2}\) + \(\frac{y-1}{3}\) = 8
 \(\frac{x-1}{3}\) + \(\frac{y+1}{2}\) = 9
 Solution:
 
 Substituting y = 13 in equation (1), we get
 3x + 2(13) = 47 ⇒ 3x = 47 – 26
 ⇒ 3x = 21 ⇒ x = \(\frac{21}{3}\) = 7
 ∴ The solution (x, y) = (7, 13)

iii) \(\frac{x}{7}\) + \(\frac{y}{3}\) = 5
 \(\frac{x}{2}\) – \(\frac{y}{9}\) = 6
 Solution:
 
 Substituting y = 9 in equation (1) we get
 3x + 7(9) = 105
 ⇒ 3x = 105 – 63
 ⇒ 3x = 42
 ⇒ x = \(\frac{42}{3}\) = 14
 ∴ The solution (x, y) = (14, 9)
iv) \(\sqrt{3}\)x – \(\sqrt{2}\)y = \(\sqrt{3}\)
 \(\sqrt{5}\)x + \(\sqrt{3}\)y = \(\sqrt{3}\)
 Solution:
 
 
v) \(\frac{a x}{\mathbf{b}}\) – \(\frac{b y}{a}\) = a + b
 ax – by = 2ab
 Solution:
 Given \(\frac{a x}{\mathbf{b}}\) – \(\frac{b y}{a}\) = a + b —- (1)
 ax – by = 2ab —- (2)
 
 Substituting y = -a in equation (2), we get
 ax – b(-a) = 2ab
 ⇒ ax + ab = 2ab
 ⇒ ax = 2ab – ab
 ∴ x = \(\frac{a b}{a}\) = b
 ∴ The solution (x, y) = (b, -a)
vi) 2x + 3y = 17
 2x+2 – 3y+1 = 5
 Solution:
 Given, 2x + 3y = 17 and
 2x+2 – 3y+1 = 5
 Take 2x = a and 3y = b then the give equations reduce to
 2x + 3y = 17 —- (1)
 2x.22 – 3y. 3 = 5 ⇒ 4a – 3b = 5 —– (2)
 
 Substituting b = 9 in equation (1), we get
 a + 9 = 17 ⇒ a = 17 – 9 = 8
 But a = 2x = 8 and b = 3y = 9
 ⇒ 2x = 23
 ⇒ x = 3
⇒ 3y = 32
 ⇒ y = 2
 ∴ The solution (x, y) is (3, 2).

Question 2.
 Animals in an experiment are to be kept on a strict diet. Each animal is to receive among other things 20g of protein and 6g of fat. The laboratory technicians purchased two food mixes, A and B. Mix A has 10% protein and 6% fat. Mix B has 20% protein and 2% fat. How many grams of each mix should be used?
 Solution:
 Let x gms of mix A and y gms of mix B are to be mixed, then
 
 
 ∴ y = \(\frac{300}{5}\) = 60 gm
 Substituting y = 60 in equation (1), we get
 x + 2 × 60 = 200 ⇒ x + 120 = 200
 ⇒ 200 – 120 = 80 gm
 ∴ Quantity of mix. A = 80 gms.
 Quantity of mix. B = 60 gms.
