1. Solve the following systems of inequalities graphically:

Answer
x ≥ 3 ...(i)

Graph of inequality (i):
Let us draw the graph of the line x = 3. Clearly, x = 3 is a line parallel to y-axis at a distance of 3 units from the origin.
Since (0, 0) does not satisfy the inequality x ≥ 3 because 0 ≥ 3, is false. So the portion lying on the right side of x = 3 is the region represented by x ≥ 3.
Graph of inequality (ii):
Let us draw the graph of the line y = 2. Clearly, y = 2 is a line parallel to x-axis at a distance of 3 units from it. Since (0, 0) does not satisfy y ≥ 2 as 0 ≥ 2, which is false. So, the portion not containing the origin is represented by the given inequality.

Triple shaded triangular area is the solution area in the solution region.
12. Solve the system of inequalities graphically
x – 2y ≤ 3, 3x + 4y ≥ 12, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 1
Answer
The inequalities are
x – 2y ≤ 3, 3x + 4y ≥ 12, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 1
(i) The line x – 2y = 3 passes through (3, 0) and (0 , -(3/2))
This is represented by AB. 0 < 3 denotes origin lies in the region x – 2y ≤ 3
∴ Region above this line and including its points represents x – 2y ≤ 3
(ii) 3x + 4y = 12 passes through (4, 0) and (0, 3).
CD represents this line.
Since 0 >/ 12. Origin does not lies in 3x + 4y ≥ 12 The region above CD and including points of CD represents 3x + 4y ≥ 12.
(iii) x ≥ 0 the region on the right of y-axis and all the points on it.
(iv) y = 1 is the line parallel to x-axis at a distance 1 from it.
y ≥ 1 or y – 1 > 0. Since – 1 >/ 0, origin does not lie in this region.
∴ y ≥ 1 is the region above y = 1 and the points lying on it.
The common shaded region is YC PQB which represents the solution the given inequalities.
13. Solve the systems of inequalities graphically
4x + 3y ≤ 60, y ≥ 2x, x ≥ 3, x, y ≥ 0
Answer
The inequalities are
4x + 3y ≤ 60, y ≥ 2x, x ≥ 3, x, y ≥ 0
(i) The line 4x + 3y = 60 passes through (15, 0), (0, 20) and it is represented by AB.
Putting x = 0, y = 0
∴ 3x + 4y ≤ 60
0 + 0 = 0 ≤ 60 which is true therefore, origin lies in this region. Thus, region below AB and the points lying on AB represent the inequality 4x + 3y ≤ 60.
(ii) y = 2x passes through (0, 0) and (5, 10). It is represented by CD.
Putting x = 0, y = 5 in y – 2x ≥ 0 (0, 5) lies in this region.
Region lying above the line CD and including the points on CD represents y ≥ 2x.
(iii) x ≥ 3 is the region lying on the right of line x = 3 and points lying on x = 3 represent the inequality x ≥ 3
The shaded area is the △PQR in which x > 0 and y > 0 is true for each point, is the solution of given inequalities.
14. Solve the given inequality 3x + 2y ≤ 150, x + 4y ≤ 80, x ≤ 15, y ≥ 0 graphically.
Answer
The inequalities are 3x + 2y ≤ 150, x + 4y ≤ 80, x ≤ 15, y ≥ 0
The line 3x + 2y ≤ 150 passes through the point (50, 0) and (0, 75). AB represent this line in the graph.
Putting x = 0, y = 0 in 3x + 2y ≤ 150 => 0 ≤ 150 shows that origin lies in this region
(i) This region lying below AB and the points lying on AB represent the inequality 3x + 2y ≤ 150
(ii) The equation x + 4y ≤ 80 passes through the points (80, 0), (0, 20). This is represented by CD. Since 0 ≤ 80, A region lying below CD and the points of CD represent the inequality x + 4y ≤ 80
(iii) x ≤ 15 is the region lying on the left of EP. Thus the region X' PQC which is a double shaded region is the solution of the inequalities given.
It may be noted that any point lying in this region satisfies the inequality 3x + 2y ≤ 150
15. Solve the system of inequalities graphically
x + 2y ≤ 10, x + y ≥ 1, x – y ≥ 0, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Answer
The inequalities are x + 2y ≤ 10, x + y ≥ 1, x – y ≥ 0, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
(i) x + 2y = 10 passes through (10, 0) and (0, 5).
The line AB represents this equation
∵ 0 ≤ 10.
∴ Origin lies in the region x + 2y ≤ 10.
∴ Region lying below AB and the points lying on it represents x + 2y ≤ 10
(ii) x + y = 1 passes through (1, 0) and (0, 1). The line CD represents this equation 0 >/ 1. Origin does not lie on x + y ≥ 1.
∴ The region lying above the line CD and the points lying on CD represents the inequality x + y ≥ 1.
(iii) x – y = 0, passes through (0, 0) and (1, 1).
This is being represented by EF. Also (0, 1) lies on x – y ≤ 0.
The region lying above EF and the points lying on it represent the inequality x – y ≤ 0.
(iv) x ≥ 0 is the region lying on the right of y-axis and the points lying on y-axis.
(v) y ≥ 0 is the region above x-axis, and the points lying on y = 0.
The shaded area represents the inequalities given including y ≥ 0.
