    Case Study : Q. 1 to 5
    Amit is planning to buy a house and the layout is given below. The design and the measurement has been made such that areas of two bedrooms and kitchen together is \[\text{95 sq}.\text{ m}\].
    Based on the above information, give the answer of the following questions:
    The pair of linear equations in two variables from this situation are:

    A) \[2x+y=19,\,\,x+y=13\]

    B) \[x+2y=19,\,\,x+y=18\]

    C) \[x+y=19,\,\,x+2y=13\]

    D) \[x+3y=19,2\,x+y=15\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given that, length of bedroom \[=x\,m\]
    And breadth of bedroom \[=5\,m\]
    \[\therefore \] Area of a bedroom \[=5x\,\,sq.\,m\]
    So, area of two bedrooms \[=2\times 5x=10x\,sq.\,m\]
    Also, length of kitchen \[=y\,m\]
    and breadth of kitchen \[=\,5\,\,m\]
    \[\therefore \]  Area of the kitchen \[=5y\,\,sq.\,m\]
    According to question,
    Areas of two bedrooms and kitchen together \[=95\,\,sq.\,m\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,10x+5y=95\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2x+y=19\]                     …..(1)
          (divide both sides by 5)
    According to figure,
    Length of a bedroom + length of bathroom + length of the kitchen = Length of the layout of the house
                \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x+2+y=15\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x+y=13\]                       …..(2)
    Hence, eqs. (1) and (2) represent the pair of linear equations in two variables.                                       
    So, option [a] is correct.
