Question 3:
The present age of Salil’s mother is three times Salil’s present age. After 5 years, their ages will add up to 70 years. Find their present ages.
सलील की माँ की वर्तमान आयु सलील की वर्तमान आयु की तीन गुना है। 5 वर्ष बाद, उनकी आयुओं का योग 70 वर्ष होगा। उनकी वर्तमान आयु ज्ञात कीजिए।
Solution
Let Salil’s present age be x years
and Salil’s mother’s present age be 3x years
After 5 years, Salil’s age = (x + 5) years
After 5 years, Mohter’s age = (3x + 5) years
ATQ,
Sum = 70 years
\(\;\) x + 5 + 3x + 5 = 70
\(\Rightarrow\) 4x + 10 = 70
\(\Rightarrow\) 4x = 70 – 10 = 60
\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{60}{4}\) = 15
Hence, Salil’s present age = 15 years
and Salil’s mother’s present age = 3(15) = 45 years
Question 4:
The difference between two positive integers is 63. The ratio of the two integers is 2:5. Find the two integers.

Solution
Let two integers be 2x and 5x.
ATQ,
Difference = 63
\(\;\) 5x – 2x = 63
\(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 63
\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{63}{3}\) = 21
Therefore, two integers are 2\(\times\)21 and 5\(\times\)21 = 42 and 105.
Question 5:
Ruby has 3 times as many two-rupee coins as she has five rupee-coins. If she has a total ₹ 88, how many coins does she have of each type?
रूबी के पास पाँच रुपये के सिक्कों की तुलना में दो रुपये के सिक्के तीन गुना अधिक हैं। यदि उसके पास कुल ₹88 हैं, तो उसके पास प्रत्येक प्रकार के कितने सिक्के हैं?
Solution
Let number of five rupee-coins be x.
and number of two-rupee coins = 3x
ATQ,
Total Value = ₹ 88
\(\Rightarrow\) 5x + 2(3x) = 88
\(\Rightarrow\) 5x + 6x = 88
\(\Rightarrow\) 11x = 88
\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{88}{11}\) = 8
Therefore, number of five rupee-coins = 8
and number of two-rupee coins = 3(8) = 24
Question 6:
A farmer cuts a 300 feet fence into two pieces of different sizes. The longer piece is four times as long as the shorter piece. How long are the two pieces?
एक किसान 300 फीट लंबी बाड़ को दो अलग-अलग आकार के टुकड़ों में काटता है। बड़ा टुकड़ा छोटे टुकड़े से चार गुना लंबा है। दोनों टुकड़ों की लंबाई क्या है?
Solution
Let shorter piece be x feet
and longer piece = 4x feet
ATQ,
Total Length = 300 feet
\(\Rightarrow\) x + 4x = 300
\(\Rightarrow\) 5x = 300
\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{300}{5}\) = 60
Therefore, shorter piece = 60 feet
and longer piece = 4(60) = 240 feet
Question 7:
If the length of a rectangle is three more than twice its width and its perimeter is 24 cm, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?
यदि किसी आयत की लंबाई उसकी चौड़ाई के दुगुने से 3 अधिक है और उसका परिमाप 24 सेमी है, तो आयत के आयाम क्या हैं?
Solution
Let width be x cm
and length = (2x + 3) cm
ATQ,
Perimeter = 24 cm
\(\Rightarrow\) 2 (length + width) = 24
\(\Rightarrow\) 2 (2x + 3 + x) = 24
\(\Rightarrow\) 3x + 3 = \(\frac{24}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) 3x + 3 = 12
\(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 12 – 3 = 9
\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{9}{3}\) = 3
Therefore, width = 3 cm
and length = 2(3) + 3 = 6 +3 = 9 cm

Exercise Set 2.3
Solve the following:
Question 1:
A student has 500 in her savings bank account. She gets 150 every month as pocket money. How much money will she have at the end of every month from the second month onwards? Find a linear expression to represent the amount she will have in the nth month.
एक छात्रा के बचत बैंक खाते में ₹500 हैं। उसे हर महीने ₹150 जेब खर्च के रूप में मिलते हैं। दूसरे महीने से प्रत्येक महीने के अंत में उसके पास कितनी राशि होगी? nवें महीने में उसके पास कितनी राशि होगी, इसे दर्शाने के लिए एक रेखीय व्यंजक ज्ञात कीजिए।
Solution
Total amount = ₹ 500
Monthly pocket money = ₹ 150
At the end of :
2nd month = 500 + 2 \(\times\) 150 = 500 + 300 = ₹ 800
3rd month = 500 + 3\(\times\) 150 = 500 + 450 = ₹ 950
4th month = 500 + 4 \(\times\) 150 = 500 + 600 = ₹ 1,100, and so on…
Now,
Amount = nth month = 500 + 150n
\(\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\) = 150n + 500.
Question 2:
A rally starts with 120 members. Each hour, 9 members drop out of the group. How many members will remain after 1, 2, 3, … hours? Find a linear expression to represent the number of members at the end of the nth hour.
एक रैली 120 सदस्यों के साथ शुरू होती है। प्रत्येक घंटे, 9 सदस्य समूह छोड़ देते हैं। 1, 2, 3, … घंटों के बाद कितने सदस्य शेष रहेंगे? nवें घंटे के अंत में सदस्यों की संख्या को दर्शाने के लिए एक रेखीय व्यंजक ज्ञात कीजिए।
Solution
Total members = 120
Members drop out each hour = 9
After 1 hour = 120 – 1(9) = 120 – 9 = 111
After 2 hour = 120 – 2(9) = 120 – 18 = 102
After 3 hour = 120 – 3(9) = 120 – 27 = 93
Now,
At the end of the nth hour = 120 – n (9) = 120 – 9n.

Solution
Given, Length of a rectangle = 13 cm
(i) breadh = 12 cm
\(\;\) Area of a rectangle = length \(\times\) breadth = 13 \(\times\) 12 = 156 cm2.
(ii) breadh = 10 cm
\(\;\) Area of a rectangle = length \(\times\) breadth = 13 \(\times\) 10 = 130 cm2.
(iii) breadh = 8 cm
\(\;\) Area of a rectangle = length \(\times\) breadth = 13 \(\times\) 8 = 104 cm2.
Now, let breadth be x cm
\(\;\) Area of a rectangle = length \(\times\) breadth = 13 \(\times\) x = 13x cm2. = Linear Pattern

Solution
Given length = 7 cm and breadth = 11 cm
(i) height = 5 cm
\(\;\) Volume of a rectangular box = length \(\times\) breadth \(\times\) height
\(\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\) = 7 \(\times\) 11 \(\times\) 5 = 385 cm3.
(ii) height = 9 cm
\(\;\) Volume of a rectangular box = length \(\times\) breadth \(\times\) height
\(\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\) = 7 \(\times\) 11 \(\times\) 9 = 693 cm3.
(iii) height = 13 cm
\(\;\) Volume of a rectangular box = length \(\times\) breadth \(\times\) height
\(\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\) = 7 \(\times\) 11 \(\times\) 13 = 1001 cm3.
Now,
let height = h cm
\(\;\) Volume of a rectangular box = length \(\times\) breadth \(\times\) height
\(\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\) = 7 \(\times\) 11 \(\times\) h = 77h cm3.
Thus, linear pattern = 77 h.
Question 5:
Sarita is reading a book of 500 pages. She reads 20 pages every day. How many pages will be left after 15 days? Express this as a linear pattern.
सरिता 500 पृष्ठों की एक पुस्तक पढ़ रही है। वह प्रतिदिन 20 पृष्ठ पढ़ती है। 15 दिनों के बाद कितने पृष्ठ शेष रह जाएंगे? इसे एक रैखिक पैटर्न के रूप में व्यक्त कीजिए।
Solution
Total pages = 500
Pages read per day = 20
Pages read after 15 days = 20 \(\times\) 15 = 300
Pages left after 15 days = 500 – 300 = 200
Now,
Let pages left after n days = 500 – 20 \(\times\) n = 500 – 20n
