3. Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by substitution    method (v) A fraction becomes 9/11 , if 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator. If, 3 is added to both the numerator and the denominator it becomes 5/6 . Find the fraction. Solution:    Let be numerator = x   Let be denominator = y     Fraction=x/y  If 2 is added in numerator and denominator to the fraction it becomes = 9/11      (x+2)/(y+2)=9/11      11(x+2)=9(y+2)      11x+22=9y+18      11x-9y+22-18=0      11x-9y+4=0---------(1)  If 3 is added in numerator and denominator to the fraction it becomes = 5/6     (x+3)/(y+3)=5/6     6(x+3)=5(y+3)     6x+18=5y+15     6x-5y+18-15=0     6x-5y+3=0---------(2)   By solving equation (1)     11x-9y+4=0     11x+4=9y     Y=(11x+...

The taxi charges in a city consist of a fixed charge together with the charge for the distance covered. For a distance of 10 km, the charge paid is Rs.105 and for a journey of 15 km, the charge paid is Rs.155. What are the fixed charges and the charge per km? How much does a person have to pay for travelling a distance of 25 km?
