ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 8

4. Find the values of x and y if:

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 9

Solution:

Given

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 10

Now by comparing the corresponding elements,

2x + y = 5 ….. i

3x – 2y = 4 ….ii

Multiply (i) by 2 and (ii) by 1 we get

4x + 2y = 10 and 3x – 2y = 4

By adding we get

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x = 2

Substituting the value of x in (i)

4 + y = 5

y = 5 – 4

y = 1

Hence x = 2 and y = 1

5. Find the value of x if

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 11

Solution:

Given

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 12

Comparing the corresponding terms of given matrix we get

-y = 2

Therefore y = -2

Again we have

3x + y = 1

3x = 1 – y

Substituting the value of y we get

3x = 1 – (-2)

3x = 1 + 2

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

Hence x = 1 and y = -2

6. If

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 13

Find the values of x and y.

Solution:

Given

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 14

Comparing the corresponding terms, we get

x + 3 = 5

x = 5 – 3

x = 2

Again we have

y – 4 = 3

y = 3 + 4

y = 7

Hence x = 2 and y = 7

7. Find the values of x, y and z if

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 15

Solution:

Given

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 16

Comparing the corresponding elements of given matrix, then we get

x + 2 = -5

x = -5 – 2

x = -7

Also we have 5z = -20

z = -20/5

z = – 4

Again from given matrix we have

y2 + y – 6 = 0

The above equation can be written as

y2 + 3y – 2y – 6 = 0

y (y + 3) – 2 (y + 3) = 0

y + 3 = 0 or y – 2 = 0

y = -3 or y = 2

Hence x = -7, y = -3, 2 and z = -4

8. Find the values of x, y, a and b if

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 17

Solution:

Given

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 18

Comparing the corresponding elements

x – 2 = 3 and y = 1

x = 2 + 3

x = 5

again we have

a + 2b = 5….. i

3a – b = 1 ……ii

Multiply (i) by 1 and (ii) by 2

a + 2b = 5

6a – 2b = 2

Now by adding above equations we get

7a = 7

a = 7/7

a = 1

Substituting the value of a in (i) we get

1 + 2b = 5

2b = 5 -1

2b = 4

b = 4/2

b = 2

9. Find the values of a, b, c and d if

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 19

Solution:

Given

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 20

Comparing the corresponding terms, we get

3 = d

d = 3

Also we have

5 + c = -1

c = -1 – 5

c = -6

Also we have,

a + b = 6 and a b = 8

we know that,

(a – b)2 = (a + b)2 – 4 ab

(6)2 – 32 = 36 – 32 = 4 = (± 2)2

a – b = ± 2

If a – b = 2

a + b = 6

Adding the above two equations we get

2a = 4

a = 4/2

a = 2

b = 6 – 4

b = 2

Again we have a – b = -2

And a + b = 6

Adding above equations we get

2a = 4

a = 4/2

a = 2

Also, b = 6 – 2 = 4

a = 2 and b = 4

10. 

Solution:

ML Aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - 11

On comparing the corresponding elements, we have

8 + y = 0

Then, y = -8

And, 2x + 1 = 5

2x = 5 – 1 = 4

x = 4/2 = 2

Therefore, x = 2 and y = -8

11. 

Solution:

ML Aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - 13

On comparing the corresponding terms, we have

2x + 1 = 5

2x = 5 -1 = 4

x = 4/2 = 2

And,

8 + y = 0

y = -8

And, z = 7

Therefore, x = 2, y = -8 and z = 7.

12. 

Solution:

ML Aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - 15

Now, comparing the corresponding terms, we get

4 – 4x = -8

4 + 8 = 4x

12 = 4x

x = 12/4

x = 3

And, y + 5 = 2

y = 2 – 5 =

y = -3

Therefore, x = 3 and y = -3

13. 

Find the value of a, b and c.

Solution:

ML Aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - 17

Next, on comparing the corresponding terms, we have

a + 1 = 5 ⇒ a = 4

b + 2 = 0 ⇒ b = -2

-c = 3 ⇒ c = -3

Therefore, the value of a, b and c are 4, -2 and -3 respectively.

14. and 5A + 2B = C, find the values of a, b and c.

Solution:

ML Aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - 19

On comparing the corresponding terms, we get

5a + 6 = 9

5a = 9 – 6

5a = 3

a = 3/5

And,

25 + 2b = -11

2b = -11 – 25

2b = -36

b = -36/2

b = -18

And, c = 6

Therefore, the value of a, b and c are 3/5, -18 and 6 respectively.

Solution:

Given

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 69

comparing the corresponding elements 

a + 3 = 2a + 1 

⇒ 2a – a =3 – 1 

⇒ a = 2 b² + 2 = 3b 

⇒ b² – 3b + 2 = 0 

⇒ b² – b – 2b + 2 = 0 

⇒ b (b – 1) – 2 (b – 1) = 0 

⇒ (b – 1) (b – 2) = 0. 

Either b – 1 = 0,

then b = 1 or b – 2 = 0,

then b = 2 

Hence a = 2, b = 2 or 1

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 70

Solution:

ML aggarwal Solutions for Class 10 Chapter 8 - Image 71

Now comparing the corresponding elements

3a = 4 + a

a – a = 4

2a = 4

Therefore, a = 2

3b = a + b + 6

3b – b = 2 + 6

2b = 8

Therefore, b = 4

3d = 3 + 2d

3d – 2d = 3

Therefore, d = 3

3c = c + d – 1

3c – c = 3 – 1

2c = 2

Therefore, c = 1

Hence a = 2,b = 4, c = 1 and d= 3

2 + 2c = 14

2c = 14 – 2 = 12

2c = 12

c = 12/2

⇒ c = 6

3 + 2d = 11

2d = 11 – 3

d = 8/2
