Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- (b) I. $ 4x+3y=40 $ … (i) II. $ 6x-5y=22 $ … (ii) On multiply Eq, (i) by 6 and Eq. (ii) by 4 and than subtracting, we get i.e. On putting the value of y in Eq. (i), we get $ 4x+3\times 4=40 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4x=40-12 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4x=28 $
$ \therefore $ $ x=7 $ Hence, $ x>y $ Alternate Method $ 4x+3y=40 $ $ x=\frac{40-3y}{4} $ On putting the value of x in Eq. (ii), we get $ 6(x)-5y=22 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 6( \frac{40-3y}{4} )-5y=22 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{120-9y}{2}-5y=22 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 120-9y-10y=44 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ -19y-76 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ y=4 $
On putting the value of y in Eq, (i), we get $ 4x+3(4)=40 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4x=40-12 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{28}{4} $
$ \therefore $ $ x=7 $ Hence, $ x>y $ .
