उत्तर

Let the speed of the two cars be “x” and “y”.

By the given first condition

`100/(x + y) = 1("Distance"/"Speed" = "time")`

x + y = 100 ........(1) ......(They travel in opposite direction)

By the given second condition.

`100/(x - y)` = 2  ...[time taken in 2 hours in the same direction]

2x – 2y = 100

x – y = 50 ..........(2)

x + y = 100

y = 100 – x

x 30 50 60 70
y 70 50 40 30

Plot the points (30, 70), (50, 50), (60, 40) and (70, 30) in the graph sheet

x – y = 50

– y = – x + 50

y = x – 50

x 40 50 60 70
y – 10 0 10 20

Plot the points (40, – 10), (50, 0), (60, 10) and (70, 20) in the same graph sheet

The two cars intersect at (75, 25)

The speed of the first car 75 km/hr

The speed of the second car 25 km/hr

The cost of manufacturing x articles is Rs. (50 + 3x). The selling price of x articles is Rs. 4x.

On a graph sheet, with the same axes, and taking suitable scales draw two graphs, first for the cost of manufacturing against no. of articles and the second for the selling price against the number of articles.

Use your graph to determine:
No. of articles to be manufactured and sold to break even (no profit and no loss).
