Solution:
(i) 2x – y = 3 ………….. (1)
3x + y = 7 ………… (2)

Substitute x = 2 in (1)
2(2) – y = 3
4 – y = 3
-y = 3 – 4
-y = -1
∴ Solution: x = 2; y = 1
Verification:
Substitute x = 2, y = 1 in (2)
3(2) + 1 = 7 = RHS
∴ Verified.

Substitute y = 2 in (1)
x – 2 = 5
x = 5 + 2
x = 7
∴ Solution: x = 7, y = 2
Verification:
Substitute x = 7, y = 2 in (2)
3(7) + 2(2) = 21 + 4 = 25 = RHS
∴ Verified.

Substitute y = 30 in (1)
x + 2 (30) = 140
x + 60 = 140
x = 140 – 60
x = 80
∴ Solution: x = 80; y = 30
Verification:
Substitute x = 80, y = 30 in (2)
3(80) + 4(30) = 240 + 120 = 360 = RHS
∴ Verified.

(iv) 3(2x +y) = 7xy ⇒ 6x + 3y = 7xy ………. (1)
3(x + 3y) = 11xy ⇒ 3x + 9y = 11xy ………….. (2)


Substitute a = 1 in (5)
6b + 3(1) = 7
6b + 3 = 7
6b = 7 – 3
b = 4/6=2/3
∴a = 1/x = 1 ⇒ x = 1
b = 1/y=2/3 ⇒ y = 3/2
∴ Solution: x = 1; y = 3/2

Substitute y = 4 in (1)
13x + 11 (4) = 70
13x + 44 = 70
13x = 70 – 44 = 26
x = 26/13 = 2
∴ Solution: x = 2; y = 4

Question 2.
The monthly income of A and B are in the ratio 3:4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves ₹ 5,000 per month, find the monthly income of each.
Solution:
Let the monthly income of A and B be 3x and 4x respectively.
Let the monthly expenditure of A and B be 5y and 7y respectively.
∴ 3x – 5y = 5000 ……… (1)
4x – 7y = 5000 ……….. (2)

Substitute y = 5000 in (1)
3x – 5 (5000) = 5000
3x – 25000 = 5000
3x = 5000 + 25000
3x = 30000
x = 10000
∴ Monthly income of A is 3x = 3 × 10000 = ₹ 30000
Monthly income of B is 4x = 4 × 10000 = ₹ 40000

Question 3.
Five years ago, a man was seven times as old as his son, while five year hence, the man will be four times as old as his son. Find their present age.
Solution:
Let the man’s present age = x
Five years ago his age is = x – 5
Let his son’s age be = y
5 years ago his son’s age = y – 5
∴ x – 5 = 7(y – 5)
x – 5 = 7y – 35
x – 7y = -35 + 5
x – 7y = – 30 ……….. (1)
After 5 years, man’s age will be = x + 5
His son’s age will be = y + 5
∴ x + 5 = 4(y + 5)
x + 5 = 4y + 20
x – 4y = 20 – 5
⇒ x – 4y = 15 ………….. (2)

Substitute y = 15 in (1)
x – 7 (15) = -30
x – 105 – 30
x = – 30 + 105
x = 75
∴ Man’s Age = 75, His son’s Age =15
