RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 76
Plot the points (6, 0), (4, -1) and (0, -3) on the graph and join them to get a line.
Similarly,
3x – 6y = 0
⇒ 3x = 6y
⇒ x = 2y
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 77
Plot the points (0, 0), (2, 1), (4, 2) on the graph and join them to get a line.
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 78
We see that these two lines are parallel i.e., do not intersect each other.
This system has no solution.

Question 27.
Solution:
2x + 3y = 4
⇒ 2x = 4 – 3y
⇒ x = \(\frac { 4 – 3y }{ 2 }\)
Giving some different values to y, we get corresponding values of x as given below:
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 79
Plot the points (2, 0), (-1, 2) and (5, -2) on the graph and join them to get a line.
Similarly,
4x + 6y = 12 ⇒ 4x = 12 – 6y
x = \(\frac { 12 – 6y }{ 4 }\)

Plot the points (3, 0), (0, 2) and (-3, 4) on the graph and join them to get another line.
We see that two lines are parallel i.e., these do not intersect each other at any point.
Therefore the system has no solution.

Question 28.
Solution:
2x + y = 6, y = 6 – 2x
Giving some different values to x, we get corresponding values ofy as given below:
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 82
Plot the points (0, 6), (1, 4) and (3, 0) on the graph and join them to get a line.
Similarly,
6x + 3y = 20 ⇒ 6x = 20 – 3y
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 83
We see that these two lines are parallel and do not intersect each other.
Therefore this system has no solution.

Question 29.
Solution:
2x + y = 2 ⇒ y = 2 – 2x
Giving some different values to x, we get corresponding values of y as given below:
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 85
Plot the points (0, 2), (1, 0) and (-2, 6) on the graph and join them to get a line.
Similarly,
2x + y = 6 ⇒ y = 6 – 2x
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 86
Plot the points (0, 6), (2, 2) and (3, 0) on the graph and join them to get another line.
ABFD is the trapezium whose vertices are A (0, 2), B (1, 0), F (3, 0), D (0, 6).
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 3 Linear equations in two variables Ex 3A 87
Area of trapezium ABFD = Area ∆DOF – Area ∆AOB
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (DO x OF) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (AO x OB)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (6 x 3) – \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (2 x 1) sq.units
= 9 – 1 = 8 sq.units
