Question. 4 The shifting of a number from one side of an equation to other is called
(a) transposition (b) distributivity
(c) commutativity (d) associativity .
Solution. (a) The shifting of a number from one side of an equation to other side is called transposition.
e.g. x +a = 0is the equation, x = -a
Here, number ‘a’ shifts from left hand side to right hand side.

Question. 5 If \(\frac { 5x }{ 3 }\)-4 =\(\frac { 2x }{ 5 }\) , then the numerical value of 2x – 7 is
(a)\(\frac { 19 }{ 13 }\) (b)\(\frac { -13 }{ 19 }\)
(c)0 (d)\(\frac { 13 }{ 19 }\)
Solution.(b)
NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Chapter 4 Linear Equations in One Variable img-6

Question. 6 The value of x, for which the expressions 3x – 4 and 2x + 1 become equal, is
(a) -3 (b) 0
(c) 5 x (d) 1
Solution. (c) Given expressions 3x – 4 and 2x + 1 are equal.
Then, 3x-4 = 2x + 1
3x- 2x = 1 + 4 [transposing 2x to LHS and -4 to RHS]
x = 5
Hence, the value of x is 5.

Question. 7 If a and b are positive integers, then the solution of the equation ax = b has to be always
(a) positive (b) negative (c) one (d) zero
Solution. (a) If ax = b, then x = \(\frac { b }{ a }\)
Since, a and b are positive integers. So,\(\frac { b }{ a }\) is also positive integer, Hence, the solution of the given equation has to be always positive.

Question. 8 Linear equation in one variable has
(a) only one variable with any power
(b) only one term with a variable
(c) only one variable with power 1
(d) only constant term
Solution. (c) Linear equation in one variable has only one variable with power 1.
e.g. 3x + 1 = 0,2y – 3 = 7 and z + 9 = – 2 are the linear equations in one variable.

Question. 9 Which of the following is a linear expression?
(a) \({ x }^{ 2 }\) +1 (b) y + \({ y }^{ 2 }\)
(c) 4 (d) 1 + z
Solution. (d) We know that, the algebraic expression in one variable having the highest power of the variable as 1, is known as the linear expression.
Here, 1 + z is the only linear expression, as the power of the variable z is 1.

Question.10 A linear equation in one variable has
(a) only one solution (b) two solutions
(c) more than two solutions (d) no solution
Solution. (a) A linear equation in one variable has only one solution.
e.g. Solution of the linear equation ax + b = 0 is unique, i.e. x = \(\frac { -b }{ a }\)

Question. 11 The value of S in \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) + S = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) is
(a)\(\frac { 4 }{ 5 }\) (b)\(\frac { 1 }{ 15 }\)
(c)10 (d)0
Solution.(b) Given, \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) + S = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\)
NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Chapter 4 Linear Equations in One Variable img-7

Question.12 If –\(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) y = –\(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) then y is equal to
(a)\(-{ \left[ \frac { 3 }{ 4 } \right] }^{ 2 }\) (b)\(-{ \left[ \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \right] }^{ 2 }\)
(c)\({ \left[ \frac { 3 }{ 4 } \right] }^{ 2 }\) (d)\({ \left[ \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \right] }^{ 2 }\)

(a) 11b+30 (b) 10b+ 30
(c) 11 b + 3 (d) 10b + 3
Solution. (a) Let digit at unit’s place be b.
Then, digit at ten’s place = (3 + b)
Number = 10 (3 + b) + b – 30 + 10b + b = 11b + 30

Question. 14 Arpita’s present age is thrice of Shilpa. If Shilpa’s age three years ago was x, then Arpita’s present age is
(a) 3 (x – 3) (b)3x + 3
(c) 3x – 9 (d) 3(x + 3)
Solution. (d) Given, Shilpa’s age three years ago = x
Then, Shilpa’s present age = (x + 3)
Arpita’s present age = 3 x Shilpa’s present age = 3 (x + 3)

True/False
In questions 33 to 48, state whether the statements are True or False.
Question. 33  3 years ago, the age of boy was y years. His age 2 years ago was (y — 2) years.
Solution. False
Given, 3 yr ago, age of boy = y yr
Then, present age of boy = (y + 3)yr
2 yr ago, age of boy = y + 3-2 = (y + 1)yr

Question. 34 Shikha’s present age is p years. Reemu’s present age is 4 times the present age of Shikha. After 5 years, Reemu’s age will be 15p years.
Solution. False
Given, Shikha’s present age = pyr
Then, Reemu’s present age = 4 x (Shikha’s present age) = 4pyr After 5 yr, Reemu’s age = (4p+5)yr

Question. 35 In a 2-digit number, the unit’s place digit is x. If the sum of digits be 9, then the number is (10x – 9).
Solution. False
Given, unit’s digit = x
and sum of digits = 9
Ten’s digit = 9 – x
Hence, the number = 10 (9 -x)+x = 90 -10x + x = 90 – 9x

Then, Anju’s mother age = (65 – y)yr
Before 5 yr, Anju’s mother age = 65 – y – 5 = (60 – y)yr

Question. 37 The number of boys and girls in a class are in the ratio 5 : 4. If the number of boys is 9 more than the number of girls, then number of boys is 9.
Solution. False
Let the number of boys be 5x and the number of girls be 4x.
According to the question, – 5x – 4x = 9 => x = 9
Hence, number of boys = 5 x 9 = 45

Question. 38 A and B are together 90 years old. Five years ago, A was thrice as old as B was. Hence, the ages of A and B five years back would be (x – 5) years and (85 – x) years, respectively.
Solution. True
Let the age of A be x yr.
Then, age of S = (90 – x) yr
Five years ago, the age of A = (x- 5) yr
The age of B= 90-x-5 = (85-x)yr
Hence, the ages of A and 8 five years back would be (x – 5) yr and (85 – x) yr, respectively.

Question. 39 Two different equations can never have the same answer.
Solution. False
Two different equations may have the same answer.
e.g.2x + 1 = 2 and 2x – 5 = – 4 are the two linear equations whose solution is \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)

Question. 40 In the equation 3x – 3 = 9, transposing – 3 to RHS, we get 3x = 9.
Solution. False
Given, 3x – 3 = 9
=> 3x = 9 + 3 [transposing -3 to RHS]
=> 3x = 12

Question. 41 In the equation 2x = 4 – x, transposing – x to LHS, we get x = 4.
Solution. False
Given, 2x = 4-x
=> 2x + x = 4 [transposing -x to LHS]
=> 3x = 4
