lass IX Math NCERT Solution for Linear Equations in Two Variables 4.2
EXERCISE: 4.2
1. Which one of the following options is true, and why?
y = 3x + 5 has
(i) a unique solution, (ii) only two solutions, (iii) infinitely many solutions
Sol: Option (iii) is true because a linear equation has an infinitely many solutions.
2. Write four solutions for each of the following equations:
(i) 2x + y = 7 (ii) πx + y = 9 (iii) x = 4y
Sol: (i) 2x + y = 7
When x = 0, 2(0) + y = 7
⇒ 0 + y = 7
⇒ y =7
∴ Solution is (0, 7).
When x = 1, 2(1) + y = 7
⇒ y = 7 – 2
⇒ y = 5
∴ Solution is (1, 5).
When x = 2, 2(2) + y = 7
⇒ y = 7 – 4
⇒ y = 3
∴ Solution is (2, 3).
When x = 3, 2(3) + y = 7
⇒ y = 7 – 6
⇒ y = 1
∴ Solution is (3, 1).
(ii) πx + y = 9
When x = 0 π(0) + y = 9
⇒ y = 9 – 0
⇒ y = 9
∴ Solution is (0, 9).
When × = 1, π(1) + y = 9
⇒ y = 9 – π
∴ Solution is {1, (9 – π)}
When x = 2, π(2) + y = 9
⇒ y = 9 – 2π
∴ Solution is {2, (9 – 2π)}
When × = –1, π(–1) + y = 9
⇒ – π + y = 9
⇒ y = 9 + π
∴ Solution is {–1, (9 + π)}
(iii) x = 4y
When x = 0, 4y = 0
⇒ y = 0
∴ Solution is (0, 0).
When x = 1, 4y = 1
⇒ y = 0
∴ Solution is (0, 0)
When x = 4, 4y = 4
⇒ 
3. Check which of the following are solutions of the equation x – 2y = 4 and which are not:
(i) (0, 2) (ii) (2, 0) (iii) (4, 0)
(iv)
(v) (1, 1)
Sol: (i) (0, 2) means x = 0 and y = 2
Putting x = 0 and y = 2 in x – 2y = 4, we have
L.H.S. = 0 – 2(2) = –4
But R.H.S. = 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ x = 0, y = 0 is not a solution.
(ii) (2, 0) means x = 2 and y = 0
∴ Putting x = 2 and y = 0 in x – 2y = 4, we get
L.H.S. = 2 – 2(0) = 2 – 0 = 2
But R.H.S. = 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ (2, 0) is not a solution.
(iii) (4, 0) means x = 4 and y = 0
Putting x = 4 and y = 0 in x – 2y = 4, we get
L.H.S. = 4 – 2(0) = 4 – 0 = 4
But R.H.S. = 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ (4, 0) is a solution.
(v) (1, 1) means x = 1 and y = 1
Putting x = 1 and y = 1 in x – 2y = 4, we get
L.H.S. = 1 – 2(1) = 1 – 2 = –1
But R.H.S. = 4
⇒ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S.
∴ (1, 1) is not a solution.
4. Find the value of k, if x = 2, y = 1 is a solution fo the equation 2x + 3y = k.
Sol: We have 2x + 3y = k
Putting x = 2 and y = 1 in 2x + 3y = k, we get
2(2) + 3(1) = k
⇒ 4 + 3 = k
⇒ 7 = k
Thus, the required value of k = 7.
