SChand CLASS 9 Chapter 5 Simultaneous Linear Equations TEST





Question 1 

y + 2x = 5 , 3y – 5x = 4

Sol :

y + 2x = 5 ⇒ y = 5 – 2x

3y – 5x = 4

⇒ 3(5 – 2x) – 5x = 4

⇒ 15 – 6x – 5x = 4

⇒ – 11x = 4 – 15

⇒ – 11x = – 11

and y = 5 – 2x = 5 – 2 x 1 = 5 – 2 = 3

∴ x = 1, y = 3



Question 2 

$\frac{1}{2}x+2y=16$

$2x+\frac{1}{2}y=19$

Sol :

$\frac{1}{2}x+2y=16$...(i)

$2x+\frac{1}{2}y=19$...(ii)

Multiply (i) by 4 and (ii) by 1 , then subtracting

$\begin{aligned}2x+8y&=64\\ 2x+\frac{1}{2}y&=19\\ -\phantom{2x}-\phantom{8 y}&\phantom{=}-\phantom{19}\\ \hline \frac{15}{2}y &=45\end{aligned}$

$y=\frac{45 \times 2}{15}=6$

From (i) $\frac{1}{2}x+2\times 6=16$

⇒$\frac{1}{2}x=16-12$

⇒$\frac{1}{2}x=4$

⇒x=4×2=8

∴x=8 , y=6



Question 3 

Which ordered pair is a solution of the system?

$\left\{ \begin{matrix} 2x-y=-2 \\ \frac{1}{3}y=x \end{matrix} \right.$

(a) (0, 2)

(b) (2, 6)

(c) (1, 3)

(d) (3, 8)

Sol :

(b) (2, 6)

2x – y = – 2, $\frac{1}{3}y=x$

⇒ y = 3x⇒ 2x – 3x = – 2 ⇒ – x = – 2 ⇒ x = 2

and y = 3x = 3 x 2 = 6

∴ x = 2, y = 6

∴ Order pair of solution is (2, 6)



Question 4 

Which of the following problems could be solved by finding the solution of the given system?

2x + 2y = 56, $y=\frac{1}{3}x$

(a) The area of a reactangle is 56 sq. unit. The width is one-third the length. Find the length of the rectangle.

(b) The area of a rectangle is 56 sq. unit. The length is one-third the perimeter. Find the length of the rectangle.

(c) The perimeter of a rectangle is 56 unit. The length is one-third more than the width. Find the length of the rectangle.

(d) The perimeter of a rectangle is 56 unit. The width is one-third the length. Find the length of the rectangle.

Sol :

(d) The perimeter of a rectangle is 56 unit. The width is one-third the length. Find the length of the rectangle.

2x + 2y = 56, $y=\frac{1}{3}x$

Here 2x + 2y = 56 ⇒ 2(x + y) = 56

i.e., perimeter of a rectangle whose length

and breadth x and y is 56

and breadth =$\frac{1}{3}$ length

∴ It is applies to (d)

Perimeter of rectangle = 56 unit

2(l + b) = 56

As breadth is one third of length

∴$2\left(x+\frac{x}{3}\right)=56$

$=\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{56}{2}$

⇒$x=\frac{56}{2} \times \frac{3}{4}$=21 unit



Question 5 

What is the solution of the equation x – 7 = 0.9 and $11 (x + y)^{-1} = 2$?

(a) x = 3.2, y = 2.3

(b) x = 1, y = 0.1

(c) x = 2, y = 1.1

(d) x= 1.2, y = 0.3

Sol :

(a) x = 3.2, y = 2.3

x-y=0.9

⇒$11 (x + y)^{-1} = 2$

⇒$(x+y)^{-1}=\frac{2}{11}$

⇒$\frac{1}{x+y}=\frac{2}{11}$

⇒$x+y=\frac{11}{2}$

Now , $x+y=\frac{11}{2}$

$x-y=\frac{9}{10}$

Adding , we get

$2x=\frac{11}{2}+\frac{9}{10}=\frac{55+9}{10}=\frac{64}{10}$

$x=\frac{64}{10\times 2}=\frac{32}{10}=3.2$ and subtracting,

$2y=\frac{11}{2}-\frac{9}{10}=\frac{55-9}{10}=\frac{46}{10}$

$y=\frac{46}{10\times 2}=\frac{23}{10}=2.3$

∴x=3.2 , y=2.3



Question 6 

A number consists of two digits, whose sum is 10. If 18 is subtracted from the number, digits of the number are reversed. What is the product of the digits?

(a) 15

(b) 18

(c) 24

(d) 32

Sol :

(c) 24

Let unit digit of a two digit number = x

and ten digit = y

∴ x + 7 = 10 … (i)

and number = x + 10y

By reversing the digits, the number = y + 10x

∴ x + 10y – 18 = y + 10x

⇒ x + 10y – y – 10x = 18

⇒ – 9x + 97 = 18

⇒ – 9(x – 7)= 18 

⇒ $x-y=\frac{18}{-9}=-2$

x – y = – 2

Adding, we get

2x = 8 

⇒$x=\frac{8}{2}=4$

Subtracting,

27 = 12 

⇒ $y =\frac{12}{2}=6 $

∴ Product of digits = x × y = 4×6 = 24



Question 7 

If $\frac{2x-3y+1}{2}=\frac{x+4y+8}{3}=\frac{4x-7y+2}{5}$ , then what is (x+7) equal to?

(a) 3

(b) 2

(c) 0

(d) – 2

Sol :

(d) – 2

$\frac{2x-3y+1}{2}=\frac{x+4y+8}{3}=\frac{4x-7y+2}{5}$

$\frac{2x-3y+1}{2}=\frac{x+4y+8}{3}

⇒ 6x – 97 + 3 = 2x + 87 + 16

⇒ 6x – 97 – 2x – 87 = 16 – 3

⇒ 4x – 17y = 13

$=\frac{x+4y+8}{3}=\frac{4x-7y+2}{5}$

5x + 20y + 40 = 12x – 217 + 6

5x + 20y – 12x + 217 = 6 – 40

– 7x + 41y = – 34

7x – 41y = 3y … (i)

4x – 17y = 13 … (ii)

Multiply (i) by 4 and (ii) by

$\begin{matrix}28x-164y&=136\\28x-119y&=91\\ -\phantom{28x}+\phantom{119y}&\phantom{=}-\phantom{91} \\ \hline \phantom{28x}-45y&=45\end{matrix}$

$y=\frac{45}{-45}=-1$

From (ii),

⇒ 4x – 17×(- 1) = 13

⇒ 4x + 17 = 13 

⇒ 4x = 13 – 17 = – 4

∴ x + y = – 1 +(- 1) = – 1 – 1 = – 2



Question 8 

A railway ticket for a child costs half the full fare but the reservation charge is the same on half tickets as much as on full ticket. One reserved first class full ticket for a journey between two stations is ₹ 362; one full and one half reserved first class tickets cost ₹ 554. What is the reservation charge?

(a) ₹18

(b) ₹ 22

(c) ₹ 38

(d) ₹ 46

Sol :

(b) ₹ 22

Let reservation charges = ₹ x per ticket

and let price of full ticket = ₹ y

and half ticket = ₹$\frac{1}{2}$

Now according to the question,

x + y = ₹ 362 … (i)

$2x+y+\frac{y}{2}= ₹ 554$

⇒ $2x + \frac{3}{2}y = ₹ 554$ … (ii)

Multiply (i) by $\frac{3}{2}$ and (ii) by 1

$\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}y=362 \times \frac{3}{2}=543$

$2x+\frac{3}{2}y=554$

Subtracting (i) from (ii),

$\frac{1}{2}x=11$
⇒ x = 11×2 = 22
Cost of reservation = ₹ 22



Question 9 

What is the sum of two numbers whose difference is 45 and the quotient of the greater number by the lesser number is 4?

(a) 100

(b) 90

(c) 80

(d) 75

Sol :

(d) 75

Let first number = x

and second number = y

∴ x – y = 45 … (i)

$\frac{x}{y} = 4 $

⇒ x = 4y … (ii)

From (i) 4y – y = 45

⇒ 3y = 45

$y = \frac{45}{3} = 15$

∴ x = 4 x 15 = 60

First number = 60

and second number = 15

Sum of two number = x + y

= 60 + 15 = 75



Question 10 

Two numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. If 19 is added to each number, they will be in the ratio 3 : 4. What is the product of the two numbers?

(a) 360

(b) 480

(c) 486

(d) 512

Sol :

(c) 486

Ratio in two number = 2 : 3

Let first number = x

and second number = y

Then, $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ 3x = 2y

⇒ $x = \frac{2}{3}y $… (i)

Adding 9 to each, we get

x + 9 and y + 9

∴ $\frac{x+9}{y+9}=\frac{3}{4}$ 

⇒ 4x + 36 = 3y + 27

= 4x – 3y = 27 – 36 = – 9 … (i)

⇒ $4 \times  \frac{2}{3}y – 3y = – 9$ [From (i)]

⇒ $ \frac{8}{3}y – 3y = – 9$

$\frac{8y−9y}{3} = – 9 $⇒ $\frac{−y}{3} = – 9$

⇒ y = – 9×(- 3) = 27

and $x = \frac{2}{3} \times 27 = 18$

∴ Numbers are 18, 27

Product of two numbers = 18×27

= 486
