Q35. The taxi fare in a city is as follows: For the first kilometer, the fare is ₹ 8 and for the subsequent distance it is ₹ 5 1 Mark
per kilometer. Taking the distance covered as x km and total fare as ₹ y, write a linear equation for this
information.
1. x = 5y - 3
2. y = 5x + 3
3. x = 5y + 3
4. y = 5x - 3

Ans: 2. y = 5x + 3
Solution:
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.

4y = 12
 We get y = 3
At y = 0
3x + 4(0) = 12
3x = 12

3. Many.
4. Three.

Ans: 2. Only one.

Solution:
Only one because if a line is passing through two points then that two points are solution of a single linear equation so only one line
passes over two given points.

Q96. A linear equation in two variables x and y is of the form ax = by + c = 0, where: 1 Mark
1. a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0
2. a ≠ 0, b = 0
3. a = 0, b ≠ 0
4. a = 0, c = 0

Ans: 1. a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0
Solution:
A linear equation in tow variables x and y is of the form ax + by + c = 0, where a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0, since if either a or be is 0, the degree
of the equation would be but it would not be a linear equation in tow variables.
If both a and b are 0, then the equation is not linear.

Q97. The graph of the equation x + y = 4. 1 Mark

1. Intersects both the axis.
2. Parallel to the x-axis.
3. Intersects x-axis only.
4. Intersects y-axis only.

Ans: 1. Intersects both the axis.

Solution:
The graph of the equation x + y = 4,
Put x = 0 cut y axis at y = 4,
Put y = 0 cut x axis at x = 4.

Q98. The graph of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 6 is a line which meets the x-axis at the point. 1 Mark
1. (0, 2)
2. (0, 3)
3. (3, 0)
4. (2, 0)

Ans: 3. (3, 0)
Solution:
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).

Q99. The graph of the linear equation 2x + 5y = 10 meets the x-axis at the point. 1 Mark
 1. (0, 5)
2. (5, 0)
3. (0, 2)
4. (2, 0)

Ans: 2. (5, 0)
Solution:
If the graph of the linear equation 2x + 5y = 10 meets the x-axis, then y = 0.
Substituting the value of y = 0 in equation 2x + 5y = 10, we get
2x + 5(0) = 10
⇒ 2x = 10
10
⇒ x =
2

⇒x=5
So, the point of meeting is (5, 0).

Q100. The equation 2x + 5y = 7 has a unique solution, if x and y are: 1 Mark

1. Natural numbers.
2. Rational numbers.
3. Positive real numbers.
4. Real numbers.

Ans: 1. Natural numbers.

Solution:
The equation 2x + 5y = 7 has a unique solution, if x and y are natural numbers.
If we take x = 1 and y = 1, the given equation is satisfied.

Q101. The equation of the y-axis is: 1 Mark

1. x = 0
2. y = 0
3. x + y = 0
4. x = y

Ans: 1. x = 0
Solution:
Since the x-coordinate of any point on y-axis is always 0.
So, the equation of the y-axis is x = 0.

Q102. x = 2, y = -1 is a solution of the linear equation: 1 Mark

1. x + 2y = 0
2. x + 2y = 4
3. 2x + y = 0
4. 2x + y = 5

Ans: 1. x + 2y = 0
Solution:
Substituting x = 2 and y = -1 in the following equations:
L.H.S. = x + 2y = 2 + 2(-1) = 2 - 2 = 0 = R.H.S.
L.H.S. = x + 2y = 2 + 2(-1) = 2 - 2 = 0 ≠ 4 ≠ R.H.S.
L.H.S. = 2x + y = 2(2) + (-1) = 4 - 1 = 3 ≠ 0 ≠ R.H.S.
L.H.S. = 2x + y = 2(2) + (-1) = 4 - 1 = 3 ≠ 5 ≠ R.H.S.
Hence, correct option is (a).
