Question 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.
Question 2. The coach of a cricket team buys 3 bats and 6 balls for Rs 3900. Later, she buys another bat and 3 more balls of the same kind for Rs 1300. Represent this situation algebraically and geometrically.
Question 3. 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 Rs300.   . Represent this situation algebraically and geometrically.
Solution 1:
Let  age of Aftab is represented by x
And age of daughter is represented by y
Then Seven years ago,
Age of Aftab               = x -7
Age of daughter         = y-7
As per the question Aftab  was seven times as old as her daughter then were  so we get
(x – 7) = 7 (y – 7)
x – 7y = -42                           …(1)
Now Three years from now ,
Age of Aftab               = x +3
Age of daughter         = y+3
As per question Aftab  shall be three times as old as her daughter will be so we get
x + 3 = 3 (y + 3)
x -3 y = 6                                  …(2)
Algebraic representation  of situation
x – 7 y = - 42                           …(1)
x -3 y = 6                                  …(2)
To represent it graphically, we need to plot these equation  on the XY coordinate system.
We can choose two values of each equation and plot it on XY coordinate system
x – 7 y = - 42            or
y=(x+42)/7
 X 0 7 Y=(x+42)/7 6 7
x -3 y = 6
y=(x-6)/3
 X 0 6 Y=(x-6)/3 -2 0

We can plot these two lines on XY coordinate system using the two point derived above

Solution 2:
Let Cost of one bat    = Rs x
Let Cost of one ball    = Rs y
3 bats and 6 balls for Rs 3900 So that
3 x + 6y = 3900                     … (1)
Given that she buys another bat and 2 more balls of the same kind for Rs 1300
So we get
x + 2 y = 1300                       … (2)
Algebraic representation  of situation
3 x + 6y = 3900                     … (1)
x + 2 y = 1300                         … (2)
To represent it graphically, we need to plot these equation  on the XY coordinate system.
We can choose two values of each equation and plot it on XY coordinate system
3x +6y = 3900                     or
y=(3900-3x)/6
 X -1300 1300 y=(3900-3x)/6 1300 0
x +2 y = 1300
y=(1300-x)/2
 X 1300 -1300 y=(1300-x)/2 0 1300

Solution 3:
Let cost each kg of apples   = Rs x
Cost of each kg of grapes    = Rs y
The cost of 2 kg of apples and 1kg of grapes on a day was found to be Rs 160
So that
2 x + y             = 160              … (1)
Given that the cost of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes is Rs 300
so we get
4x + 2y= 300               … (2)
Algebraic representation  of situation
2 x + y             = 160              … (1)
4x + 2y= 300               … (2)
To represent it graphically, we need to plot these equation  on the XY coordinate system.
We can choose two values of each equation and plot it on XY coordinate system
2x +y = 160              or
y=160-2x
 X 80 40 y=160-2x 0 80
4x + 2y= 300           y=(300-4x)/2
 X 0 50 y=(300-4x)/2 150 50
