Ex 3.1, 1
Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems & find their solutions graphically
(ii) 5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs. 50 , whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs. 46. Find the cost of one pencil and that of one pen
Let the Cost of one Pencil be Rs x
& Cost of one Pen be Rs y
Given that
5 pencils and 7 pens together cost Rs 50
5 × (Cost of pencil) + 7 × (Cost of pens) = 50
5x + 7y = 50
Also,
7 pencils and 5 pens together cost Rs. 46
7 × (Cost of pencil) + 5 × (Cost of pen) = 46
7x + 5y = 46
Now, plotting equations
5x + 7y = 50 ...(1)
7x + 5y = 46 …(2)
For Equation (1)
5x + 7y = 50
Let y = 5
5x + 7(5) = 50
5x + 35 = 50
5x + 35 = 50 − 35
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3
So, x = 3, y = 5 is a solution
i.e. (3, 5) is a solution
Let x = 0
5(0) + 7y = 50
7y = 50
y = 50/7
y = 7.14
So, x = 0, y = 7.14 is a solution
i.e. (0, 7.14) is a solution
For Equation (2)
7x + 5y = 46
Let y = 0
7x + 5(0) = 46
7x = 46
x = 46/7
x = 6.57
So, x = 6.57, y = 0 is a solution
i.e. (6.57, 0) is a solution
Let x = 3
7(3) + 5y = 46
21 + 5y = 46
5y = 46 − 21
5y = 25
y = 25/5
y = 5
So, x = 3, y = 5 is a solution
i.e. (3, 5) is a solution
We will plot both equations on the graph
Therefore,
Solution of the equations is (3, 5)
Thus,
Cost of 1 Pencil = x = Rs 3
Cost of 1 Pen = y = Rs 5
