QuestioN :
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?.
GiveN :
- 2 kg apple + 1kg grapes per day cost = Rs.160
- 4 kg apples + 2kg grapes per day cost = Rs.300
To FiNd :
- Represent the situation algebraically and geometrically?.
SolutioN :
x 65 55 45 35
y 20 40 60 80
Let the cost of 1 kg of apples be x and that of 1 kg be y.
So the algebraic representation can be as follows:
2x+y=160
4x + 2y = 300 ⇒ 2x + y = 150
The situation can be represented graphically by plotting these two equations.
2x + y = 160 ⇒ y = 160 − 2x
x 70 60 50 40
y = 160 − 2x 20 40 60 80
2x + y = 150 ⇒ y = 150 − 2x
x 65 55 45 35
y = 150 − 2x 20 40 60 80
We can see that the lines do not intersect anywhere, i.e. they are parallel. Hence we can not arrive at a solution.
