For which value(s) of k will the equations kx + 3y = k 3 ; 12x + ky = k have no solution? Write a linear equation which is coincident with 2 x + 3y - 4 = 0 Find the value of K so that the pair of linear equations : (3 K + 1) x + 3y 2 = 0 (K2 + 1) x + (k2)y 5 = 0 is inconsistent.

Given the linear equation 2x + 3y 8 = 0, write another linear equations in two variables such that the geometrical representation of the pair so formed is: (i) intersecting lines (ii) parallel lines (iii) coincident lines Solve for x and y ; (i) (ii) (iii) 2/x + 3/y =2 ; (a b) x + (a + b) y = a2 2ab b2 ; px + qy = p q ; 4/x - 9/y =2 ; (a + b) (x + y) = a2 + b2 qx py = p + q

Ankita travels 14 km to her home partly by rickshaw and partly by bus. She takes half an hour if she travels 2 km by rickshaw, and the remaining distance by bus. On the other and, if she travels 4 km by rickshaw and the remaining distance by bus, she takes 9 minutes longer. Find the speed of the rickshaw and of the bus. Person can row downstream 20 km in 2 hours and upstream 4 km in 2 hours. Find mans speed of rowing is still water and the speed of the current. A person, rowing at the rate of 5 km/h in still water, takes thrice as much time in going 40 km upstream as in going 40 km downstream. Find the speed of the stream. A boatman rows his boat 35 km upstream and 55 km downstream in 12 hours. He can row 30 km. upstream and 44 km downstream in 10 hours. Find the speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water. Hence find the total time taken by the boat man to row 50 km upstream and 77 km downstream.

10. There are two class rooms A and B containing students. If 5 students are shifted from room A to room B, the resulting number of students in the two rooms become equal. If 5 student are shifted from room B to room A, the resulting number of students in room A becomes double the number of student left in room B. find the original number of students in the two rooms separately. Places A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and another from B at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What are the speeds of the two cars? The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 9 square units, if its length is reduced by 5 units and breadth is increased by 3 units. If we increase the length by 3 units and the breadth by 2 units, the area increases by 67 square units. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. A no. consists of three digits whose sum is 17. The middle one exceeds the sum of other two by 1. If the digits are reversed, the no. is diminished by 396. Find the no. The distance between school and metro station is 300 m. Kartik starts running from school towards metro station, while Ashu starts running from metro station to school. They meet after 4 minutes. Had Kartik doubled his speed and Ashu reduced his speed to third of the original they would have met one minute earlier. Find their speeds. Jamila sold a table and a chair for Rs 1050, thereby making a profit of 10% on the table and 25% on the chair. If she had taken a profit of 25% on the table and 10% on the chair she would have got Rs 1065. Find the cost price of each.
