Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems, and find their solutions graphically.
(i) 10 students of Class X took part in a Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and girls who took part in the quiz.
(ii) 5 pencils and 7 pens together cost ₹ 50, whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost ₹ 46. Find the cost of one pencil and that of one pen.

On comparing the ratios $\frac{a_1}{b_1}, \frac{a_2}{b_2} , \frac{a_3}{b_3} $ , find out whether the lines representing the following pairs of linear equations intersect at a point, are parallel or coincident:
(i) 5x – 4y + 8 = 0 ; 7x + 6y – 9 = 0
(ii) 9x + 3y + 12 = 0 ; 18x + 6y + 24 = 0
(iii) 6x – 3y + 10 = 0 ; 2x – y + 9 = 0

On comparing the ratios $\frac{a_1}{b_1}, \frac{a_2}{b_2} , \frac{a_3}{b_3} $ , find out whether the following pair of linear equations are consistent, or inconsistent.
(i) 3x + 2y = 5 ; 2x – 3y = 7
(ii) 2x – 3y = 8 ; 4x – 6y = 9
(iii) $\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{5}{3}$ y =7; 9x – 10y = 14
(iv) 5x – 3y = 11 ; – 10x + 6y = –22
(v) $\frac{4}{3}$ x + 2 y = 8 ; 2x + 3y = 12

Which of the following pairs of linear equations are consistent/inconsistent? If consistent, obtain the solution graphically:
(i) x + y = 5, 2x + 2y = 10
(ii) x – y = 8, 3x – 3y = 16
(iii) 2x + y – 6 = 0, 4x – 2y – 4 = 0
(iv) 2x – 2y – 2 = 0, 4x – 4y – 5 = 0

Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden.

Given the linear equation 2x + 3y – 8 = 0, write another linear equation in two variables such that the geometrical representation of the pair so formed is:
(i) intersecting lines
(ii) parallel lines
(iii) coincident lines

Draw the graphs of the equations x – y + 1 = 0 and 3x + 2y – 12 = 0. Determine the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines and the x-axis, and shade the triangular region.
