Question 1.
If in a rectangle, the length is increased and breadth reduced each by 2 units, the area is reduced by 28 square units. If, however the length is reduced by 1 unit and the breadth increased by 2 units, the area increased by 33 square units. Find the area of the rectangle.
Solution:
Let the length of rectangle = x units
and breadth = y units
Area = Length x breadth = x x y = xy sq. units
According to the condition given,
(x + 2) (y – 2) = xy – 28
=> xy – 2x + 2y – 4 = xy – 28
=> -2x + 2y = -28 + 4 = -24
=> x – y = 12 ….(i)
(Dividing by -2)
and (x – 1) (y + 2) = xy + 33
=> xy + 2x – y – 2 = xy + 33
=> 2x – y = 33 + 2
=> 2x – y = 35 ….(ii)
Subtracting (i), from (ii)
x = 23
Substituting the value of x in (i)
23 – y = 12
=> -y = 12 – 23 = -11
=> y = 11
Area of the rectangle = xy = 23 x 11 = 253 sq. units
Question 2.
The area of a rectangle remains the same if the length is increased by 7 metres and the breadth is decreased by 3 metres. The area remains unaffected if the length is decreased by 7 metres and breadth is increased by 5 metres. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Solution:
Let the length of a rectangle = x m
and breadth = y m
Area = Length x breadth = xy sq. m
According to the condition given,
(x + 7)(y – 3) = xy
=> xy – 3x + 7y – 21 = xy
-3x + 7y = 21 ….(i)
and (x – 7) (y + 5) = xy
=>xy + 5x – 7y = xy
5x – 7y = 35 …(ii)
(i) from (ii)
2x = 56
=> x = 28
Substituting the value of x in (i)
-3 x 28 + 7y = 21
– 84 +7y = 21
=> 7y = 21 + 84 = 105
y = 15
Length of the rectangle = 28 m and breadth = 15 m
Question 3.
In a rectangle, if the length is increased by 3 metres and breadth is decreased by 4 metres, the area of the rectangle is reduced by 67 square metres. If length reduced by 1 metre and breath increased by 4 metres, the area is increased by is 89 sq. metres. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Solution:
Let length of rectangle = x m
and breadth = y m
Area = Length x breadth = xy m2
According to the given condition,
(x + 3) (y – 4) = xy – 67
=> xy – 4x + 3y – 12 = xy – 67
=>-4x + 3y = -67+ 12 = -55
=> 4x – 3y = 55 ….(i)
and (x -1) (y + 4) = xy + 89
=> xy + 4x – y – 4 = xy + 89
=> 4x – y = 89 + 4 = 93 ….(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii)
2y = 38
=> y = 19
Substituting the value of y in (i)
4x – 3 x 19 = 55
=> 4x – 57 = 55
=> 4x = 55 + 57 = 112
=> x = 28
Length of the rectangle = 28 m and breadth = 19 m
Question 4.
The incomes of X and Y are in the ratio of 8 : 7 and their expenditures are in the ratio 19 : 16. If each saves ₹ 1250, find their incomes.
Solution:
Incomes of X and Y are in the ratio 8 : 7
and their expenditures = 19 : 16
Let income of X = ₹ 8x
and income of Y = ₹ 7x
and let expenditures of X = 19y
and expenditure of Y = 16y
Saving in each case is save i.e. ₹ 1250
8x – 19y = 1250 ….(i)
and 7x – 16y = 1250 ….(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 7 and (ii) by 8, we get
Question 5.
A and B each has some money. If A gives ₹ 30 to B, then B will have twice the money left with A, but if B gives ₹ 10 to A, then A will have thrice as much as is left with B. How much money does each have?
Solution:
Let A’s money = 7 x
and B’s money = 7 y
According to the given conditions,
2(x – 30) = 7 + 30
=> 2x – 60 = y + 30
=> 2x – y = 30 + 60 = 90 ….(i)
and x + 10 = 3 (y – 10)
=> x + 10 = 3y – 30
=> x – 3y = -30 – 10 = -40 ………(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 1,
Question 6.

Question 8.
In a ∆ABC, ∠A = x°, ∠B = (3x – 2)°, ∠C = y°. Also ∠C – ∠B = 9°. Find the three angles.
Solution:
We know that sum of three angles of a triangle = 180°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
=> x° + (3x – 2)° + y° = 180°
=> x + 3x – 2 + y = 180
=> 4x + y = 180 + 2 = 182 …(i)
∠C – ∠B = 9
y – (3x – 2) = 9
=> y – 3x + 2 = 9
=> y – 3x = 9 – 2
=> -3x + y = 7 ….(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
7x = 175 => x = 25
Substituting the value of x in (ii)
-3 x 25 + y = 7
=> -75 + y = 7
=> y = 7 + 75 = 82
∠A = x° = 25°
∠B = 3x – 2 = 3 x 25 – 2 = 73°
∠C = 7 = 82°
Question 9.
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A = (2x + 4)°, ∠B = (y + 3)°, ∠C = (2y + 10)°, ∠D = (4x – 5)°. Find the four angles.
Solution:
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
and ∠A = (2x + 4)°, ∠B = (y + 3)°, ∠C = (2y + 10)°, ∠D = (4x – 5)°
The sum of opposite angles = 180°
∠A + ∠C=180° and ∠B + ∠D = 180°
=> 2x + 4 + 2y + 10 = 180°
=> 2x + 2y + 14 = 180°
=> 2x + 2y = 180 – 14 = 166
=> x + y = 83 ….(i)
(Dividing by 2)
and y + 3 + 4x – 5 = 180°
=> 4x + 7 – 2 = 180°
4x + 7 = 180°+ 2= 182° ….(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii)
3x = 99
=> x = 33
Substituting the value of x in (i)
33 + y = 83
=> y = 83 – 33 = 50
∠A = 2x + 4 = 2 x 33 + 4 = 66 + 4 = 70°
∠B = y + 3 = 50 + 3 = 53°
∠C = 2y + 10 = 2 x 50 + 10 = 100 + 10 = 110°
∠D = 4x – 5 = 4 x 33 – 5 = 132 – 5 = 127°
Question 10.
Yash scored 40 marks in a test, getting 3 marks for each right answer and losing 1 mark for each wrong answer. Had 4 marks been awarded for each correct answer and 2 marks been deducted for each incorrect answer, then Yash would have scored 50 marks. How many questions were there in the test ?
Solution:
Let number of right answers questions = x
and number of wrong answers questions = y
Now according to the given conditions,
3x – y = 40 ….(i)
and 4x – 2y = 50
=> 2x – y = 25 ….(ii)
(Dividing by 2)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), x = 15
Substituting the value of x in (i)
3 x 15 – y = 40
=> 45 – y = 40
=> y = 45 – 40 = 5
x = 15 and y = 5
Total number of questions = 15 + 5 = 20
Question 11.
In a ∆ABC, ∠A = x°, ∠B = 3x° and ∠C = 7°. If 3y – 5x = 30, prove that the triangle is right angled.
Solution:
In a ∆ABC ,
∠A = x°, ∠B = 3x° and ∠C = 7°
But ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
=> x + 3x + y = 180
=>4x + y = 180 ………(i)
and 3y – 5x = 30 ….(ii)
from (i) y = 180 – 4x
Substituting the value of y in (ii)
3 (180 – 4x) – 5x = 30
540 – 12x – 5x = 30
=> -17x = -540 + 30 = -510
=> 17x = 510
=> x = 30
y = 180 – 4x = 180 – 4 x 30 = 180 – 120 = 60
∠A = x = 30°
∠B = 3x = 3 x 30° = 90°
∠C = y = 60°
∠B of ∆ABC = 90°
∆ABC is a right angled triangle.

=> x – 2y = – 200 – 100
=> x – 2y = -300 ………(i)
and 6(x – 10) = (y + 10)
=> 6x – 60 = y + 10
=> 6x – y = 10 + 60
=> 6x – y = 70 ……….(ii)
From (i), x = 2y – 300
Substituting the value of x in (ii)
6(2y – 300) – y = 70
=> 12y – 1800 – y = 70
=> 11y = 70 + 1800 = 1870
y = 170
x = 2y – 300 = 2 x 170 -300 = 340 – 300 = 40
First person has money = ₹ 40
and second person has = ₹ 170

Latika paid ₹ 22 for a book kept for 6 days, while Anand paid ₹ 16 for the book kept for four days. Find the fixed charges and charge for each extra day. [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Let Latika takes a fixed charge for the first two day is ₹ x and additional charge for each day thereafter is ₹ y.
Now, by first condition,
Latika paid ₹ 22 for a book kept for six days
i.e., x + 4y = 22 …(i)
and by second condition,
Anand paid ₹ 16 for a book kept for four days
i.e., x + 2y = 16 …(ii)
Now, subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
2y = 6 => y = 3
On putting the value of y in Eq. (ii), we get
x + 2 x 3 = 16
x = 16 – 6 = 10
Hence, the fixed charge = ₹ 10
and the charge for each extra day = ₹ 3
