Answer

(i) Substituting (0, 2), in L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y = 4, we get :

⇒ x - 2y = 0 - 2(2) = 0 - 4 = -4.

Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

Hence, (0, 2) is not a solution for equation x – 2y = 4.

(ii) Substituting (2, 0), in L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y = 4, we get :

⇒ x - 2y = 2 - 2(0) = 2 - 0 = 2

Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

Hence, (2, 0) is not a solution for equation x – 2y = 4.

(iii) Substituting (4, 0), in L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y = 4, we get :

⇒ x - 2y = 4 - 2(0) = 4 - 0 = 4

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, (4, 0) is a solution for equation x – 2y = 4.

(iv) Substituting (2,42\sqrt{2}, 4\sqrt{2}), in L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y = 4, we get :

⇒ x - 2y = 22(42)=282=72\sqrt{2} - 2(4\sqrt{2}) = \sqrt{2} - 8\sqrt{2} = -7\sqrt{2}.

Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

Hence, (2,42)(\sqrt{2}, 4\sqrt{2}) is not a solution for equation x – 2y = 4.

(v) Substituting, (1, 1), in L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y = 4, we get :

⇒ x - 2y = 1 - 2(1) = 1 - 2 = -1

Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

Hence, (1, 1) is not a solution for equation x – 2y = 4.
