Peter, Kevin James, Reeta and Veena were students of Class 9th B at Govt Sr Sec School, Sector 5, Gurgaon.
Once the teacher told Peter to think a number x and to Kevin to think another number y so that the
difference of the numbers is 10 (x > y).
Now the teacher asked James to add double of Peter's number and that three times of Kevin's number, the total
was found 120.
Reeta just entered in the class, she did not know any number.
The teacher said Reeta to form the 1st equation with two variables x and y.
Now Veena just entered the class so the teacher told her to form 2nd equation with two variables x and y.
Now teacher Told Reeta to find the values of x and y. Peter and kelvin were told to verify the numbers x and y.

28. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
Ajay lives in Delhi, The city of Ajay's father in laws residence is at Jaipur is 600 km from Delhi. Ajay used to
travel this 600 km partly by train and partly by car.
He used to buy cheap items from Delhi and sale at Jaipur and also buying cheap items from Jaipur and sale at
Delhi.
Once From Delhi to Jaipur in forward journey he covered 2x km by train and the rest y km by taxi.
But, while returning he did not get a reservation from Jaipur in the train. So first 2y km he had to travel by taxi
