4. Solving Word Problems on Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables To solve the word problems, we should consider the following points: (i) Reduce the given situation in terms of x and y as mathematical statements. (ii) Solve the linear equations thus formed using any algebraic method. Example 1. Read the following problem. Ritu can row downstream 20 km in 2 hours and upstream 4 km in 2 hours. Find her speed of rowing in still water and the speed of the current. The pair of linear equations representing the above situation is (a) x + y = 10, x + y = 2 (b) x + y = 10, x – y = 2 (c) x – y = 10, x + y = 2 (d) x – y = 10, x – y = 2 Solution. Let her speed of rowing in still water be x km/h. and Speed of the current = y km/h. \\ Upstream speed = (x – y) km/h and Downstream speed = (x + y) km/h Since Distance = Time Speed \\ 20 = 2 ⇒ x + y = 10 ...(i) x+ y and 4 = 2 ⇒ x – y = 2 ...(ii) x− y Hence, option (b) is the correct answer. Example 2. A part of monthly hostel charges in a college is fixed and the remaining depends on the number of days one has taken food in the mess. When a student ‘A’ takes food for 22 days, he has to pay ` 1380 as hostel charges; whereas a student ‘B’, who takes food for 28 days, pays ` 1680 as hostel charges. The fixed charges and the cost of food per day respectively are (a) ` 280, ` 50 (b) ` 240, ` 60 (c) ` 290, ` 100 (d) ` 170, ` 210 Solution. Let the fixed hostel charges be ` x and the cost of food per day be ` y. According to the question, we get x + 22y = 1380 ...(i) and x + 28y = 1680 ...(ii) Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get 6y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 ÷ 6 = 50 Putting y = 50 in (i), we get x + 22(50) = 1380 ⇒ x + 1100 = 1380 ⇒ x = 280 \\ Fixed hostel charges = ` 280 and cost of the food per day = ` 50. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer. 52 Mathematics–10
Example 3. Atul sold a television set and a mobile phone for ` 10500, thereby making a profit of 10% on the television set and 25% on the mobile phone. If he had taken a profit of 25% on the television set and 10% on the mobile phone, he would have got ` 10650. The cost of each item is (a) TV : ` 7000, Mobile : ` 5000 (b) TV : ` 6000, Mobile : ` 4000 (c) TV : ` 4000, Mobile : ` 5000 (d) TV : ` 5000, Mobile : ` 4000 Solution. Let the cost price of a television set be ` x and the cost price of the mobile phone be ` y. The selling price of the television set when it is sold at a profit of 10% = ` x + 10 x = ` 110 x 100 100 The S.P. of the mobile phone when it is sold at a profit of 25%. = ` y + 25 y = ` 125 y 100 100 So, 110x + 125y = 10500 ...(i) 100 100 Similarly, 125x + 110 y = 10650 ...(ii) 100 100 From equations (i) and (ii), we get 110x + 125y = 1050000 ...(iii) and 125x + 110y = 1065000 ...(iv) On adding equations (iii) and (iv), we get 235x + 235y = 2115000 fi x + y = 9000 fi x = 9000 – y Putting this value of x in (i), we get 110 (9000 – y) 125 y 100 + 100 = 10500 fi 990000 – 110 y + 125 y = 1050000 fi 15 y = 60000 \\ y = 4000 and x = 9000 – 4000 = 5000 So, the cost price of the television set is ` 5000 and cost price of the mobile phone is ` 4000. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer. Example 4. Base of an isosceles triangle is 2 times its congruent sides. Perimeter of the triangle is 3 32 cm. The length of each side of that triangle is (a) 8 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm (b) 12 cm, 12 cm, 10 cm (c) 10 cm, 10 cm, 12 cm (d) None of these Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 53
Solution. Let each of the congruent sides of an isosceles triangle be x cm long and base be y cm long. According to the first condition, ...(i) 2 y = 3 x ⇒ 2x – 3y = 0 According to the second condition, x + x + y = 32 ⇒ 2x + y = 32 ...(ii) Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get 4y = 32 ⇒ y = 32 ÷ 4 = 8 Putting y = 8 in equation (i), we get 2x – 3 (8) = 0 ⇒ 2x = 24 ⇒ x = 24 ÷ 2 = 12 \\ Each of the congruent sides is 12 cm long and base 8 cm long. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer. Example 5. Places A and B are 80 km apart from each other on a highway. A car starts from A and another from B at the same time. If they move in same direction they meet in 8 hrs and if they move in opposite directions they meet in 1 hr 20 minutes. The speeds of cars started from places A and B respectively are (a) 40 km/hr, 55 km/hr (b) 20 km/hr, 30 km/hr (c) 35 km/hr, 25 km/hr (d) 30 km/hr, 28 km/hr Solution. Let the speed of car starts from A or car A be x km/hr and the speed of car starts from B or car B be y km/hr Case I: A 80 km B 8x car A car B 8y After 8 hours, distance covered by car A = 8x as speed = distance time and distance covered by car B = 8y So, 8x – 8y = 80 fi x – y = 10 ...(i) Case II: A 80 km B 4 x 4 y 3 3 car A car B 44 After 1 hr 20 minutes, i.e. hrs, distance covered by car A = x 33 4 and distance covered by car B = y 3 44 ...(ii) So, 3 x + 3 y = 80 fi x + y = 60 On solving equations (i) and (ii), we get x = 35 and y = 25 Thus, speed of car A = 35 km/hr and speed of car B = 25 km/hr. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer. 54 Mathematics–10

The speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water, respectively are (a) 10 km/hr, 12 km/hr (b) 8 km/hr, 3 km/hr (c) 5 km/hr, 4 km/hr (d) 4 km/hr, 6 km/hr Solution. Let the speed of the boat in still water be x km/h and the speed of the stream be y km/h. \\ Speed of the boat going upstream = (x – y) km/h and speed of the boat going downstream = (x + y) km/h Distance We know that Time = Speed \\ Time taken in going 30 km upstream = 30 h x− y 44 h Time taken in going 44 km downstream = x+ y 30 44 ...(i) (From given condition) \\ x − y + x + y = 10 Again, time taken in going 40 km upstream = 40 h x− y 55 and time taken in going 55 km downstream = x + y h . 40 55 ...(ii) (From given condition) \\ x − y + x + y = 13 Now, putting x 1 y = a and 1 = b , we get − x+ y 30a + 44b = 10 ...(iii) ...(iv) 40a + 55b = 13 ...(v) Multiplying equation (iii) by 4 and equation (iv) by 3 and subtracting, we get ...(vi) 120a + 176b = 40 120a + 165b = 39 – – – 11b = 1 ⇒ b = 1 11 \\ From (iii), 1 30a + 44 × = 10 ⇒ 30a + 4 = 10 ⇒ 30a = 10 – 4 = 6 11 61 ⇒ a = 30 = 5 1 11 a = 5 ⇒ x – y = 5 ⇒ x – y = 5 and b = 1 ⇒ 11 11 x + y = 11 ⇒ x + y = 11 On solving (v) and (vi), we get x = 8, y = 3 Thus, speed of the boat in still water = 8 km/h and speed of the stream = 3 km/h Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Distance Formula • Distance between points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is given by AB = (x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2 This formula is called the distance formula. • Distance of any point Q (a, b) from origin ‘O’ is given by OQ = a2 + b2 • Application of Distance Formula: (a) To show collinearity of three points say, A, B, C:. Find AB, BC and CA and then show that the sum of the shorter lengths is equal to the largest length. i.e., AB + BC = AC or BC + CA = AB or BA + AC = BC If sum of shorter lengths is not equal to the largest length, then points are not collinear. (b) To show two points A and B are equidistant from a point P: Show PA = PB. (c) To prove given three points A, B, C form: (i) a right angled triangle: Show that sum of squares of any two sides is equal to square of third longest side i.e., AB2 = AC2 + CB2 or AC2 = AB2 + BC2 or BC2 = BA2 + AC2. (ii) a triangle: Show that sum of lengths of any two sides is greater than third side, i.e., AB + BC > AC or BC + CA > BA or BA + AC > BC. (iii) an equilateral triangle: Show that all the three sides are equal, i.e., AB = BC = AC. (iv) an isosceles triangle: Show that any two sides are equal, i.e., AB = AC or BC = BA or CA = CB. (d) To prove given four points A, B, C, D form: (i) a parallelogram: Show both pair of opposite sides are equal, i.e., AD = BC and AB = DC. (ii) a parallelogram but not rectangle: Show that both pairs of opposite sides are equal but diagonals are not equal, i.e., AD = BC and AB = DC but AC π DB. (iii) a rhombus: Show that four sides are equal, i.e., AB = BC = CD = AD. (iv) a rhombus but not a square: Show that all sides are equal but diagonals are not equal, i.e., AB = BC = CD = DA but AC π DB. (v) a square: Show that four sides are equal and the diagonals are also equal, i.e., AB = BC = CD = DA and AC = DB.

5 Triangles Topics Covered 1. Similarity of Triangles 2. Criteria for Similarity of Triangles and Areas of Similar Triangles 3. Pythagoras Theorem 1. Similarity of Triangles • Two triangles are similar, if (i) their corresponding angles are equal and (ii) their corresponding sides are in the same ratio (or proportional). In the triangles ABC and A′B′C′ shown below, ∠A = ∠A′, ∠B = ∠B′, ∠C = ∠C′ and AB = AC BC A′B′ A′C′ = . Therefore, DABC and DA′B′C′ satisfy both the conditions necessary for them to be similar. B′C′ Hence, DABC ~ DA′B′C′. Note: All congruent triangles are similar but the similar triangles need not be congruent. • Basic Proportionality Theorem or Thales Theorem: In a triangle, a line drawn parallel to one side, to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, divides the two sides in the same ratio. • Converse of Basic Proportionality Theorem: If a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line must be parallel to the third side. Example 1. In the given figure, AP = 3 cm, AR = 4.5 cm, AQ = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm, AC = 10 cm. The length of AD is A PR Q BD C (a) 4.5 cm (b) 6.5 cm (c) 7 cm (d) 7.5 cm Solution. Given: AP = 3 cm, AR = 4.5 cm, AQ = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm, AC = 10 cm. To find: The length of AD 76

Example 2. In the given figure, MN || QR. If PM = x cm, MQ = 10 cm, PN = (x – 2) cm, NR = 6 cm, then the value of x is P x x–2 10 MN cm 6 cm QR (a) 5 cm (b) 7 cm (c) 8 cm (d) 12 cm [Basic proportionality theorem] Solution. Since in DPQR, MN || QR PM PN ⇒ MQ = NR x x − 2 10 6 ⇒ = ⇒ 6x = 10x – 20 ⇒ 4x = 20 ⇒ x = 5 cm Hence, option (a) is the correct answer. Example 3. If in the given figure, AB DE and BD EF, then DC2 = C F D E AB (a) CF + AC (b) CF × AC (c) CF + 2AC (d) None of these Solution. Given: DABC in which DE AB and BD EF. In DABC, DE AB fi CADC = CE ...(i) [Basic proportionality theorem] BC Again in DCDB, EF BD fi CF CE CD = CB ...(ii) [BPT] Triangles 77
From (i) and (ii), we get CD = CF fi CD2 = CF × AC AC CD Hence, option (b) is the correct answer. Exercise 5.1 A. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) Choose the correct answer from the given options: 1.

Criteria for Similarity of Triangles and Areas of Similar Triangles There are some characteristic properties of similar triangles which will help us establishing similarity of two triangles. • AAA Similarity: If in two triangles, corresponding angles are equal or the two corresponding angles are equal, then the triangles are similar. • SSS Similarity: If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then they are similar. • SAS Similarity: If in two triangles one pair of corresponding sides are proportional and the included angles are equal, then the two triangles are similar. • The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

If the lamp is 3.6 m above the ground, the length of her shadow after 4 seconds is (a) 1.1 cm (b) 1.6 cm (c) 2.3 cm (d) 3.5 cm Triangles 79
Solution. Let AB be the lamp-post and CD be the girl after walking for 4 seconds away from the lamp- post. DE is the shadow of the girl. Let DE = x cm.

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer. Example 2. Two poles of height a and b (b > a) are c metres apart.

Pythagoras Theorem • Pythagoras Theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. • Converse of Pythagoras Theorem: In a triangle, if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite to the first side is a right angle. Example 1. If two sides of a right triangle are 9 cm and 12 cm, then its third side will be (a) 21 cm (b) 15 cm (c) 3 cm (d) None of these Solution: The given triangle is a right triangle. (9 cm)2 + (12 cm)2 = (81 + 144)2 = 225 cm2 Triangles 83
