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.

Let the present age of Aftab be x.

And, present age of his daughter = y

Seven years ago,

Age of Aftab = x − 7

Age of his daughter = y − 7

According to the question,

(x-7) = 7(y-7)

x – 7 = 7y – 49

x – 7y = -42          …..(1)

Three years hence,

Age of Aftab = x + 3

Age of his daughter = y + 3

According to the question,

(x+3) = 3(y+3)

x=3 = 3y + 9

x-3y = 6          ….(2)

Therefore, the algebraic representation is

x – 7y = -42

x – 3y = 6

For, x – 7y = -42

x = -42 + 7y

The solution table is

2. The coach of a cricket team buys 3 bats and 6 balls for ₹ 3900. Later, she buys another bat and 3 more balls of the same kind for
₹ 1300. Represent this situation algebraically and geometrically.

Let the cost of a bat be Rs x.

And, cost of a ball = Rs y

According to the question, the algebraic representation is

3x+6y = 3900

x+3y = 1300

For 3x + 6y = 3900

x = (3900 – 6y)/3

The solution table is

For x+ 3y = 1300

x = 1300 − 3y 

The solution table is

x 1000 700 400
y 100 200 300

The graphical representation is as follows :-

3. The cost of 2 kg of apples and 1kg of grapes on a day was found to be ₹ 160. After a month, the cost of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes is ₹ 300. Represent the situation algebraically and geometrically.

Let the cost of 1 kg of apples be ‘Rs. x’

And, cost of 1 kg of grapes be ‘Rs. y’

According to the question, the algebraic representation is

2x+y = 160

and 4x+2y = 300

For, 2x+y = 160 or y = 160−2x, the solution table is

The solution table is
