1. Aftab tells his daughter, "Seven years ago, I was seven times as old as you were then. Also, three years from now, I shall be three times as old as you will be." (Isn't this interesting?) Represent this situation algebraically and graphically.
Answer
Let present age of Aftab be x
And, present age of daughter is represented by y
Then Seven years ago,
Age of Aftab = x -7
Age of daughter = y-7
According to the question,
(x - 7) = 7 (y – 7 )
x – 7 = 7 y – 49
x- 7y = - 49 + 7
x – 7y = - 42 …(i)
x = 7y – 42
Putting y = 5, 6 and 7, we get
x = 7 × 5 - 42 = 35 - 42 = - 7
x = 7 × 6 - 42 = 42 – 42 = 0
x = 7 × 7 – 42 = 49 – 42 = 7
x -7 0 7
y 5 6 7
Three years from now ,
Age of Aftab = x +3
Age of daughter = y +3
According to the question,
(x + 3) = 3 (y + 3)
x + 3 = 3y + 9
x -3y = 9-3
x -3y = 6 …(ii)
x = 3y + 6
Putting, y = -2,-1 and 0, we get
x = 3 × - 2 + 6 = -6 + 6 =0
x = 3 × - 1 + 6 = -3 + 6 = 3
x = 3 × 0 + 6 = 0 + 6 = 6
x 0 3 6
y -2 -1 0
Algebraic representation
From equation (i) and (ii)
x – 7y = – 42 …(i)
x - 3y = 6 …(ii)

2. The coach of a cricket team buys 3 bats and 6 balls for Rs 3900. Later, she buys another bat and 3 more balls of the same kind for Rs 1300. Represent this situation algebraically and geometrically.
Answer
Let cost of one bat = Rs x
Cost of one ball = Rs y
3 bats and 6 balls for Rs 3900 So that
3x + 6y = 3900 … (i)
Dividing equation by 3, we get
x + 2y = 1300
Subtracting 2y both side we get
x = 1300 – 2y
Putting y = -1300, 0 and 1300 we get
x = 1300 – 2 (-1300) = 1300 + 2600 = 3900
x = 1300 -2(0) = 1300 - 0 = 1300
x = 1300 – 2(1300) = 1300 – 2600 = - 1300
x 3900 1300 -1300
y -1300 0 1300
Given that she buys another bat and 2 more balls of the same kind for Rs 1300
So, we get
x + 2y = 1300 … (ii)
Subtracting 2y both side we get
x = 1300 – 2y
Putting y = - 1300, 0 and 1300 we get
x = 1300 – 2 (-1300) = 1300 + 2600 = 3900
x = 1300 – 2 (0) = 1300 - 0 = 1300
x = 1300 – 2(1300) = 1300 – 2600 = -1300
x 3900 1300 -1300
y -1300 0 1300
Algebraic representation
3x + 6y = 3900 … (i)
x + 2y = 1300 … (ii)

3. The cost of 2 kg of apples and 1kg of grapes on a day was found to be Rs 160. After a month, the cost of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes is Rs 300. Represent the situation algebraically and geometrically.
Answer
Let cost each kg of apples = Rs x
Cost of each kg of grapes = Rs y
Given that the cost of 2 kg of apples and 1kg of grapes on a day was found to be Rs 160
So that
2 x + y = 160 … (i)
2x = 160 - y
x = (160 – y)/2
Let y = 0 , 80 and 160, we get
x = (160 – ( 0 )/2 = 80
x = (160- 80 )/2 = 40
x = (160 – 2 × 80)/2 = 0
x 80 40 0
y 0 80 160
Given that the cost of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes is Rs 300
So we get
4x + 2y = 300 … (ii)
Dividing by 2 we get
2x + y = 150
Subtracting 2x both side, we get
y = 150 – 2x
Putting x = 0 , 50 , 100 we get
y = 150 – 2 × 0 = 150
y = 150 – 2 × 50 = 50
y = 150 – 2 × (100) = -50
x 0 50 100
y 150 50 -50
Algebraic representation,
2x + y = 160 … (i)
4x + 2y = 300 … (ii)

Exercise 3.2
1. Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solutions graphically.
1. Aftab tells his daughter, "Seven years ago, I was seven times as old as you were then. Also, three years from now, I shall be three times as old as you will be." (Isn't this interesting?) Represent this situation algebraically and graphically.
Answer
Let present age of Aftab be x
And, present age of daughter is represented by y
Then Seven years ago,
Age of Aftab = x -7
Age of daughter = y-7
According to the question,
(x - 7) = 7 (y – 7 )
x – 7 = 7 y – 49
x- 7y = - 49 + 7
x – 7y = - 42 …(i)
x = 7y – 42
Putting y = 5, 6 and 7, we get
x = 7 × 5 - 42 = 35 - 42 = - 7
x = 7 × 6 - 42 = 42 – 42 = 0
x = 7 × 7 – 42 = 49 – 42 = 7
x -7 0 7
y 5 6 7
Three years from now ,
Age of Aftab = x +3
Age of daughter = y +3
According to the question,
(x + 3) = 3 (y + 3)
x + 3 = 3y + 9
x -3y = 9-3
x -3y = 6 …(ii)
x = 3y + 6
Putting, y = -2,-1 and 0, we get
x = 3 × - 2 + 6 = -6 + 6 =0
x = 3 × - 1 + 6 = -3 + 6 = 3
x = 3 × 0 + 6 = 0 + 6 = 6
x 0 3 6
y -2 -1 0
Algebraic representation
From equation (i) and (ii)
x – 7y = – 42 …(i)
x - 3y = 6 …(ii)

2. The coach of a cricket team buys 3 bats and 6 balls for Rs 3900. Later, she buys another bat and 3 more balls of the same kind for Rs 1300. Represent this situation algebraically and geometrically.
Answer
Let cost of one bat = Rs x
Cost of one ball = Rs y
3 bats and 6 balls for Rs 3900 So that
3x + 6y = 3900 … (i)
Dividing equation by 3, we get
x + 2y = 1300
Subtracting 2y both side we get
x = 1300 – 2y
Putting y = -1300, 0 and 1300 we get
x = 1300 – 2 (-1300) = 1300 + 2600 = 3900
x = 1300 -2(0) = 1300 - 0 = 1300
x = 1300 – 2(1300) = 1300 – 2600 = - 1300
x 3900 1300 -1300
y -1300 0 1300
Given that she buys another bat and 2 more balls of the same kind for Rs 1300
So, we get
x + 2y = 1300 … (ii)
Subtracting 2y both side we get
x = 1300 – 2y
Putting y = - 1300, 0 and 1300 we get
x = 1300 – 2 (-1300) = 1300 + 2600 = 3900
x = 1300 – 2 (0) = 1300 - 0 = 1300
x = 1300 – 2(1300) = 1300 – 2600 = -1300
x 3900 1300 -1300
y -1300 0 1300
Algebraic representation
3x + 6y = 3900 … (i)
x + 2y = 1300 … (ii)

3. The cost of 2 kg of apples and 1kg of grapes on a day was found to be Rs 160. After a month, the cost of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes is Rs 300. Represent the situation algebraically and geometrically.
Answer
Let cost each kg of apples = Rs x
Cost of each kg of grapes = Rs y
Given that the cost of 2 kg of apples and 1kg of grapes on a day was found to be Rs 160
So that
2 x + y = 160 … (i)
2x = 160 - y
x = (160 – y)/2
Let y = 0 , 80 and 160, we get
x = (160 – ( 0 )/2 = 80
x = (160- 80 )/2 = 40
x = (160 – 2 × 80)/2 = 0
x 80 40 0
y 0 80 160
Given that the cost of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes is Rs 300
So we get
4x + 2y = 300 … (ii)
Dividing by 2 we get
2x + y = 150
Subtracting 2x both side, we get
y = 150 – 2x
Putting x = 0 , 50 , 100 we get
y = 150 – 2 × 0 = 150
y = 150 – 2 × 50 = 50
y = 150 – 2 × (100) = -50
x 0 50 100
y 150 50 -50
Algebraic representation,
2x + y = 160 … (i)
4x + 2y = 300 … (ii)
