CBSE 10th Maths Chapter 3- Pair of Linear Equations-MCQs in Two Variables-MCQs

58827.The pairs of equations x+2y-5 = 0 and -4x-8y+20=0 have
Unique solution
Exactly two solutions
Infinitely many solutions
No solution
Explanation:

$\dfrac{a1}{a2}$ = $\dfrac{1}{-4}$

$\dfrac{b1}{b2}$ = $\dfrac{2}{-8}$ = $\dfrac{1}{-4}$

$\dfrac{c1}{c2}$ = $\dfrac{-5}{20}$ = -$\dfrac{1}{4}$

This shows:

$\dfrac{a1}{a2}$ = $\dfrac{b1}{b2}$ = $\dfrac{c1}{c2}$

Therefore, the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions.

58828.If a pair of linear equations is consistent, then the lines are
Parallel
Always coincident
Always intersecting
Intersecting or coincident
Explanation:

Because the two lines definitely have a solution.

58829.The pairs of equations 9x + 3y + 12 = 0 and 18x + 6y + 26 = 0 have
Unique solution
Exactly two solutions
Infinitely many solutions
No solution
Explanation:

Given, 9x + 3y + 12 = 0 and 18x + 6y + 26 = 0

$\dfrac{a1}{a2}$ = $\dfrac{9}{18}$=$\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{b1}{b2}$ = $\dfrac{3}{6}$ =$\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{c1}{c2}$ = $\dfrac{12}{26}$ = $\dfrac{6}{13}$

Since,

$\dfrac{a1}{a2}$ = $\dfrac{b1}{b2}$≠ $\dfrac{c1}{c2}$

So, the pairs of equations are parallel and the lines never intersect each other at any point, therefore there is no possible solution.

58830.If the lines 3x+2ky – 2 = 0 and 2x+5y+1 = 0 are parallel, then what is the value of k?
$\dfrac{4}{15}$
$\dfrac{15}{4}$
$\dfrac{4}{5}$
$\dfrac{5}{4}$
Explanation:

The condition for parallel lines is:

$\dfrac{a1}{a2}$ = $\dfrac{b1}{b2}$≠ $\dfrac{c1}{c2}$

Hence, $\dfrac{3}{2}$ = $\dfrac{2k}{5}$

k=$\dfrac{15}{4}$

58831.If one equation of a pair of dependent linear equations is -3x+5y-2=0. The second equation will be
-6x+10y-4=0
6x-10y-4=0
6x+10y-4=0
-6x+10y+4=0
Explanation:

The condition for dependent linear equations is:

$\dfrac{a1}{a2}$ = $\dfrac{b1}{b2}$= $\dfrac{c1}{c2}$

For option a,

$\dfrac{a1}{a2}$ = $\dfrac{b1}{b2}$= $\dfrac{c1}{c2}$=$\dfrac{1}{2}$

58832.The solution of the equations x-y=2 and x+y=4 is
3 and 1
4 and 3
5 and 1
-1 and -3
Explanation:

x-y =2

x=2+y

Substituting the value of x in the second equation we get;

2+y+y=4

2+2y=4

2y = 2

y=1

Now putting the value of y, we get;

x=2+1 = 3

Hence, the solutions are x=3 and y=1.

58833.The angles of cyclic quadrilaterals ABCD are: A = (6x+10), B=(5x)°, C = (x+y)° and D=(3y-10)°. The value of x and y is
x=20° and y = 10°
x=20° and y = 30°
x=44° and y=15°
x=15° and y=15°
Explanation:

We know, in cyclic quadrilaterals, the sum of the opposite angles are 180°.

Hence,

A + C = 180°

6x+10+x+y=180 =>7x+y=170°

And B+D=180°

5x+3y-10=180 =>5x+3y=190°

By solving the above two equations we get;

x=20° and y = 30°.

58834.The pair of equations x = a and y = b graphically represents lines which are
parallel
intersecting at (b, a)
coincident
intersecting at (a, b)
Explanation:

The pair of equations x = a and y = b graphically represents lines which are intersecting at (a, b).

58835.If the pair of linear equations has a unique solution, then the lines representing these equations will
coincide
intersect at one point
parallel to each other
parallel to x-axis
Explanation:

If the pair of linear equations has a unique solution, then the lines representing these equations will intersect at one point.

58836.A pair of linear equations which has a unique solution x = 2, y = -3 is
x + y = -1; 2x – 3y = -5
2x + 5y = -11; 4x + 10y = -22
2x – y = 1; 3x + 2y = 0
x – 4y – 14 = 0; 5x – y – 13 = 0
Explanation:

If x = 2, y = -3 is a unique solution of any pair of equations, then these values must satisfy that pair of equations.

By verifying the options, option (b) satisfies the given values.

LHS = 2x + 5y = 2(2) + 5(- 3) = 4 – 15 = -11 = RHS

LHS = 4x + 10y = 4(2) + 10(- 3)= 8 – 30 = -22 = RHS
