Section A
1.
(d) (3, 7)
Explanation: Let us put x = 3 in the give equation,
Then, y = 2(3) + 3
y=6+3=9
So, the point will be (3, 9)
For x = 3, y = 9. But in the given option, y = 7
So, the given point (3, 7) will not lie on the line y = 2x + 3.
2.
(c) a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0
Explanation: A linear equation in two variables is of the form ax + by + c = 0 as a and b are cofficient of x and y
so if a = 0 and b = 0 or either of one is zero in that case the equation will be one variable or their will be no equation
respectively.
therefore when a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0 then only the equation will be in two variable

3.
(b) 1.x + 0.y = 7
Explanation: The equation x = 7 in two variables can be written as exactly 1.x + 0.y = 7
because it contain two variable x and y and coefficient of y is zero as there is no term containing y
in equation x = 7

4. (a) (2, 2)
Explanation: When we put x=2 in the given equation,
Then, y = (3×2) – 4
y =6–4 = 2, so point is (2, 2)satisfied the given equation,
Hence point (2, 2) will lie on the line y = 3x - 4
5. (a) Infinitely many
Explanation: There are many linear equations in ‘x’ and ‘y’ can be satisfied by x = 1, y = 2
for example
x+y=3 x - y =-1
2x + y =4
and so on there are infinte number of examples
6. (a) 2x – 5y = 0
Explanation: In linear equation power of variable x and y should be 1 and here, the given linear equation has two variable x
and y.
7.
(b) (3,0)
Explanation: 2x + 3y = 6 meets the X-axis.
Put y = 0,
2x + 3(0) = 6
x=3
Therefore, graph of the given line meets X-axis at (3, 0).
8. (a) Parallel to x-axis at a distance 6 units from the origin
Explanation: As y = a is an equation of a line parallel to x-axis at a distance of a units from the origin.

y = kx

where k is proportionality constant

10. (a) x + y = 0
Explanation: Linear equation has solutions (-2, 2), (0, 0) and (2, -2), then the equation will be

As all the given three points satisfy the given equation
11.
(b) 4
Explanation: (2, 0) is a solution of the linear equation 2x + 3y = k
⇒ 4 = k

12.
(d) x - 2y = 0
Explanation: Let the cost of the notebook is ₹ x and pen is ₹ y and we have given that the cost of a notebook is twice the cost
of a pen.
So we have
x = 2y
or x - 2y = 0
13. (a) y = 5x + 3
Explanation: Taxi fare for first kilometer = ₹8
Taxi fare for subsequent distance = ₹5
Total distance covered = x
Total fare = y
Since the fare for first kilometer = ₹8
According to problem, Fare for (x - 1) kilometer = 5(x - 1)
So, the total fare y = 5(x - 1) + 8
⇒ y = 5(x - 1) + 8

⇒ y = 5x – 5 + 8

⇒ y = 5x + 3

Hence, y = 5x + 3 is the required linear equation.

21.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Every linear equation has degree 1.
2x + 5 = 0 and 3x + y = 5 are linear equations. So, both have degree 1.
22.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Through a point infinite lines can be drawn. Through (2, 14) infinite number of lines can be drawn. Also a line

63. y varies of directly as x.
⇒ y ∝ x ,

∴ y = kx

Substituting y = 12 when x = 4, we get

64. According to the question x is extra milk and y is the expenditure for the month
If the quantity of extra milk be 'x' and expenditure be Rs. 'y' then the given condition.
y = 20x + 500 (As Rs.500 is the fixed expenditure) ...(i)
Put x = 0 in equation (i)
y = 20(0) + 500 = 0 + 500
y = Rs.500
When no extra milk is taken the expenditure remains Rs.500 same
Put y = 1000 in equation (i)
1000 = 20x + 500
1000 - 500 = 20x
500 = 20x
x= 500

20
= 25kg

When the 25 kg of milk is taken extra the expenditure increased as Rs.1000

Put x = 2 in equation (i)
y = 20(2) + 500
y = 40 + 500
y = Rs. 540
When the 2 kg of milk is taken extra the expenditure increased by Rs.40 i.e. Rs. 540

65. We have the equation as 3x + 2y = 18
In standard form
3x + 2y - 18 = 0
Or 3x + 2y + (-18) =0
But standard linear equation is
ax + by + c = 0
On comparison we get, a = 3, b = 2, c = -18
If (4, 3) lie on the line, i.e., solution of the equation LHS = RHS
∴ 3(4) + 2(3) = 18
12 + 6 = 18
18 = 18
As LHS = RHS, Hence (4, 3) is the solution of given equation.
Again for (1,2)
3x + 2y = 18
∴ 3(1)+2(2)=18
3 + 4 = 18
7 = 18
LHS ≠ RHS
Hence (1, 2) is not the solution of given equation.
Therefore (4,3) is the point where the equation of the line 3x + 2y = 18 passes through where as the line for the equation 3x + 2y
=18 does not pass through the point (1,2).

So present age of Reeta is 15 years.

68. x + y = 55 ...(i) and x - 2y = 10 ...(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i)
x + y - x + 2y = 55 - 10
⇒ 3y = 45

⇒ y = 15

Put y = 15 in equation (i)

x + y = 55

72. Since, y = 30x
If x = 60, then, y = 30 × 60
= 1800
Required volume is 1800 cm3.
73. Since, y = 30x
If y = 900, then, 900 = 30x
