  1. If the graph of the equations 3x + 2y = 18 and 3y – 2x = 1 intersect at the point (p, q), then the value of p + q is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    3x + 2y = 18 ...(i)
    3y – 2x = 1 ...(ii)
    By equation (i) × 2 + (ii) × 3 gives,

    ⇒ y = 3 Putting y = 3 in (ii)
    3(3) – 2x = 1 ⇒ x = 4
    ∴ (p, q) = (4, 3) and hence, p + q = 7

    Correct Option: A

    3x + 2y = 18 ...(i)
    3y – 2x = 1 ...(ii)
    By equation (i) × 2 + (ii) × 3 gives,

    ⇒ y = 3 Putting y = 3 in (ii)
    3(3) – 2x = 1 ⇒ x = 4
    ∴ (p, q) = (4, 3) and hence, p + q = 7



  1. If the graph of the equations x + y = 0 and 5y + 7x = 24 intersect at (m, n), then the value of m + n is

    On putting y = –x in the equation 5y + 7x = 24,
    –5x + 7x = 24
    ⇒ 2x = 24 ⇒ x = 12 & y = –12
    ∴ m = x = 12, n = y = –12
    ⇒ m + n = 12 – 12 = 0

    Correct Option: C

    On putting y = –x in the equation 5y + 7x = 24,
    –5x + 7x = 24
    ⇒ 2x = 24 ⇒ x = 12 & y = –12
    ∴ m = x = 12, n = y = –12
    ⇒ m + n = 12 – 12 = 0


  1. The area of the triangle formed by the graph of 3x + 4y = 12, x axis and y-axis (in sq. units) is

    x – axis Þ y = 0, putting in equation 3x + 4y = 12 3x = 12 ⇒ x = 4
    ⇒ Co-ordinates of point of intersection on x-axis = (4, 0)
    Putting x = 0 in the equation 3x + 4y = 12 4y = 12 ⇒ y = 3
    ∴ Co-ordinates of point of intersection on y – axis = (0, 3)
    ∴ OA = 4
    OB = 3

    ∴ Area of ∴OAB =
    1
    × OA × OB
    1
    × 4 × 3 = 6 sq. units
    22

    Correct Option: C


    x – axis Þ y = 0, putting in equation 3x + 4y = 12 3x = 12 ⇒ x = 4
    ⇒ Co-ordinates of point of intersection on x-axis = (4, 0)
    Putting x = 0 in the equation 3x + 4y = 12 4y = 12 ⇒ y = 3
    ∴ Co-ordinates of point of intersection on y – axis = (0, 3)
    ∴ OA = 4
    OB = 3

    ∴ Area of ∴OAB =
