## Exercise 3D Page No: 122

Show that each of the following systems of equations has a unique solution and solve it:

Question 1:

3x + 5y = 12, 5x + 3y = 4

Solution:

3x + 5y = 12 ……(1)

5x + 3y = 4 ……(2)

Here,

a1 = 3, b1 = 5, c1 = 12

a2 = 5, b2 = 3, c2 = 4

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{3}{5} , \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{5}{3}$

Which shows,

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$

The system of equations have unique solution.

Solve the equations using substitution method:

From (1): x = (12-5y)/3

From (2): 5x + 3y – 4 = 0

5((12-5y)/3) + 3y – 4 = 0

60 – 25y + 9y = 12

60 – 16y = 12

16y = 48

y = 3

Now, substitute y in (1)

3x + 5(3) = 12

3x + 15 = 12

3x = 12 – 15

x = – 1

Answer: x = – 1 and y = 3

Question 2.

2x – 3y = 17, 4x + y = 13.

Solution:

2x – 3y = 17 ……..(1)

4x + y = 13 ………(2)

Here

a1 = 2, b1 = – 3, c1 = 17

a2 = 4, b2 = 1, c2 = 13

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{2}{4} , \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{-3}{1} = -3$

Which shows:

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$

System has unique solutions.

Solve the equations using substitution method:

From (1): x = (17 + 3y)/2

Putting value of x in (2)

4((17 + 3y)/2) + y = 13

68 + 12y + 2y = 26

68 + 14y = 26

y = -3

Again, x = (17 + 3(-3))/2

2x = 8

x = 4

Answer: x = 4 and y = – 3

Question 3:

x/3 + y/2 = 3, x – 2y = 2

Solution:

2x + 3y = 18 …(1)

x – 2y = 2 …(2)

a1 = 2, b1 = 3, c1 = 18

a2 = 1, b2 = – 2, c2 = 2

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 , \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{3}{-2}$

which shows ,

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$

This system has a unique solution.

Solve the equations:

From (2), x = 2 + 2y

Substituting the value of x in (1),

2(2 + 2y) + 3y = 18

=> 4 + 4y + 3y = 18

=> 7y = 18 – 4 = 14

=> y = 2

and x = 2 + 2 x 2 = 2 + 4 = 6

Answer: x = 6 and y = 2

Find the value of k for which each of the following systems of equations has a unique solution:

Question 4:

2x + 3y – 5 = 0, kx – 6y – 8 = 0.

Solution:

2x + 3y – 5 = 0 ………….(1)

kx – 6y – 8 = 0 ………..(2)

a1 = 2, b1 = 3, c1 = – 5

a2 = k, b2 = – 6, c2 = – 8

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{2}{k} , \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{3}{-6}$

Which shows:

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$

System has a unique solution.

Now, Find the value of k:

2/k ≠ 3/-6

k ≠ -4

Question 5.

x – ky = 2, 3x + 2y + 5 = 0.

Solution:

x – ky = 2 ….(1)

3x + 2y + 5 = 0 ….(2)

Here,

a1 = 1, b1 = – k, c1 = – 2

a2 = 3, b2 = 2, c2 = 5

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{1}{3} = 2 , \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{-k}{2} , \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} = \frac{2}{-5}$

Systems has a unique solution.

Now,

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \neq \frac{-k}{2}$

k ≠ -2/3

Question 6.

5x – 7y – 5 = 0, 2x + ky – 1 = 0.

Solution:

5x – 7y – 5 = 0 ….(1)

2x + ky – 1 = 0 …..(2)

Here,

a1 = 5, b1 = – 7, c1 = – 5

a2 = 2, b2 = k, c2 = – 1

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{5}{2} , \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{-7}{+k} = \frac{-7}{k}$

Systems has a unique solution.

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{5}{2} \neq \frac{-7}{k}$

k ≠ -14/5

Question 7.

4x + ky + 8 = 0, x + y + 1 = 0.

Solution:

4x + ky + 8 = 0 ………(1)

x + y + 1 = 0 ………….(2)

Here,

a1 = 4, b1 = k, c1 = 8

a2 = 1, b2 = 1, c2 = 1

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{4}{1} , \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{k}{1}$

Systems has a unique solution.

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{4}{1} \neq \frac{k}{1}$

k ≠ 4

Question 8.

4x – 5y = k, 2x – 3y = 12.

Solution:

4x – 5y = k …….(1)

2x – 3y = 12 …………(2)

Here,

a1 = 4, b1 = – 5, c1 = – k

a2 = 2, b2 = – 3, c2 = – 12

Which shows that,

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$

2 ≠ $\frac{5}{3}$

Therefore, k is any real number.

Question 9.

kx + 3y = (k – 3), 12x + ky = k.

Solution:

kx + 3y = (k – 3), 12x + ky = k

Here,

a1 = k, b1 = 3, c1 = k – 3

a2 = 12, b2 = k, c2 = k

$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{k}{12} \neq \frac{3}{4}$

Systems has a unique solution.

Question 10:

Show that the system of equations 2x – 3y = 5, 6x – 9y = 15 has an infinite number of solutions.

Solution:

2x – 3y = 5, 6x – 9y = 15

Question 11.

Show that the system of equations 6x + 5y = 11, 9x + 15 /2 y = 21 has no solution.

Solution:

6x + 5y = 11

9x + 15/2 y = 21

Here,

a1 = 6, b1 = 5, c1 = – 11

a2 = 9, b2 = 15/2, c2 = -21

Question 12: For what value of k does the system of equations kx + 2y = 5, 3x – 4y = 10 have
