Question - 1 : - For which value(s) of λ , do the pair of linear equations

Answer - 1 : -

λ2 and + λy = 1 have

(i) no solution?

(ii) infinitely manysolutions?

(iii) a uniquesolution?


Solution:

The given pair oflinear equations is

λx + y = λ2 andx + λy = 1

a1 =λ, b1= 1, c1 = – λ2

a2 =1,b2=λ, c2=-1

The given equationsare;

λ x + y – λ2 =0

x + λ y – 1 = 0

Comparing the aboveequations with ax + by + c = 0;

We get,

a1 = λ,b1 = 1, c1 = – λ 2;

a2 =1, b2 = λ, c2 = – 1;

a1 /a2 =λ/1

b1 /b2 =1/λ

c1 /c2 =λ2

(i) For no solution,

a1/a2 =b1/b2≠ c1/c2

i.e. λ = 1/λ ≠ λ2

so, λ 2 =1;

and λ 2 ≠ λ

Here, we takeonly λ = – 1,

Since the system oflinear equations has no solution.

(ii) For infinitely manysolutions,

a1/a2 =b1/b2 = c1/c2

i.e. λ = 1/λ  = λ2

so λ = 1/λ gives λ = + 1;

λ = λ 2 gives λ= 1,0;

Hence satisfying boththe equations

λ = 1 is theanswer.

(iii) For a uniquesolution,

a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2

so λ ≠1/ λ

hence, λ2 ≠ 1;

λ ≠ + 1;

So, all real values ofλ except +1

Question - 2 : - For which value(s) of will the pair of equations

kx + 3– 3

12ky k

have no solution?

Answer - 2 : -

Solution:

The given pair oflinear equations is

kx + 3y = k – 3 …(i)

12x + ky = k …(ii)

On comparing theequations (i) and (ii) with ax + by = c = 0,

We get,

a1 = k,b1 = 3, c1 = -(k – 3)

a2 =12, b2 = k, c2 = – k

Then,

a1 /a2 = k/12

b1 /b2 =3/k

c1 /c2 =(k-3)/k

For no solution of thepair of linear equations,

a1/a2 =b1/b2≠ c1/c2

k/12 = 3/k ≠(k-3)/k

Taking first twoparts, we get

k/12 = 3/k

k2 =36

k = + 6

Taking last two parts,we get

3/k ≠ (k-3)/k

3k ≠ k(k –3)

k2 –6k ≠ 0

so, k ≠ 0,6

Therefore, value of kfor which the given pair of linear equations has no solution is k = – 6.

Question - 3 : -

For which valuesof and b, will the following pair of linearequations have infinitely many solutions?

+ 2= 1

(– b)+(b)–2

Answer - 3 : -

Solution:

The given pair oflinear equations are:

x + 2y = 1 …(i)

(a-b)x + (a + b)y = a+ b – 2 …(ii)

On comparing with ax +by = c = 0 we get

a1 = 1,b1 = 2, c1 = – 1

a2 =(a – b), b2 = (a + b), c2 = – (a + b – 2)

a1 /a2 = 1/(a-b)

b1 /b2 = 2/(a+b)

c1 /c2 =1/(a+b-2)

For infinitely manysolutions of the, pair of linear equations,

a1/a2 =b1/b2=c1/c2(coincident lines)

so,1/(a-b) = 2/ (a+b) = 1/(a+b-2)

Taking first twoparts,

1/(a-b) = 2/(a+b)

a + b = 2(a – b)

a = 3b …(iii)

Taking last two parts,

2/ (a+b)= 1/(a+b-2)

2(a + b – 2) = (a + b)

a + b = 4 …(iv)

Now, put the value ofa from Eq. (iii) in Eq. (iv), we get

3b + b = 4

4b = 4

b = 1

Put the value of b inEq. (iii), we get

a = 3

So, the values (a,b) =(3,1) satisfies all the parts. Hence, required values of a and b are 3 and 1respectively for which the given pair of linear equations has infinitely manysolutions.

Question - 4 : -

Find the value(s)of in (i) to (iv) and and in(v) for the following pair of equations:

(i) 3– –5 = 0 and 6– 2– = 0, if thelines represented by these equations are parallel.

Answer - 4 : -

Solution:

Given pair of linearequations is

3x – y – 5 = 0 …(i)

6x – 2y – p = 0 …(ii)

On comparing with ax +by + c = 0 we get

We get,

a1 =3, b1 = – 1, c1 = – 5;

a2 =6, b2 = – 2, c2 = – p;

a1 /a2 = 3/6= ½

b1 /b2 =½

c1 /c2 =5/p

Since, the linesrepresented by these equations are parallel, then

a1/a2 =b1/b≠ c1/c2

Taking last two parts,we get ½ ≠ 5/p

So, p ≠ 10

Hence, the given pairof linear equations are parallel for all real values of p except 10.

Question - 5 : -

Find the value(s)of in (i) to (iv) and and in(v) for the following pair of equations:

(ii) – py =1 and px – = 1, if the pair of equationshas no solution.

Answer - 5 : -

Solution:

Given pair of linear equationsis

– x + py = 1 …(i)

px – y – 1 = 0 …(ii)

On comparing with ax +by + c = 0,

We get,

a1 =-1, b1 = p, c1 =- 1;

a2 =p, b2 = – 1, c2 =- 1;

a1 /a2 =-1/p

b1 /b2 =– p

c1 /c2 =1

Since, the linesequations has no solution i.e., both lines are parallel to each other.

a1/a2 =b1/b2≠ c1/c2

-1/p = –p ≠ 1

Taking last two parts,we get

p ≠ -1

Taking first twoparts, we get

p2 = 1

p = + 1

Hence, the given pairof linear equations has no solution for p = 1.

Question - 6 : -

Find the value(s)of in (i) to (iv) and and in(v) for the following pair of equations:

(iii) – 3+5= 7 and 2px – 3= 1, if the linesrepresented by these equations are intersecting at a unique point.

Answer - 6 : -

Solution:

Given, pair of linearequations is

– 3x + 5y = 7

2px – 3y = 1

On comparing with ax +by + c = 0, we get

Here, a1 =-3, b1 = 5, c1 = – 7;

And a2 =2p, b2 = – 3, c2 = – 1;

a1 /a2 =-3/ 2p

b1 /b2 =– 5/3

c1 /c2 =7

Since, the lines areintersecting at a unique point i.e., it has a unique solution

a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2

-3/2p ≠ -5/3

p ≠ 9/10

Hence, the linesrepresented by these equations are intersecting at a unique point for all realvalues of p except 9/10

Question - 7 : -

Find the value(s)of in (i) to (iv) and and in(v) for the following pair of equations:

(iv) 2+3– 5 = 0 and px – 6– 8 = 0, if thepair of equations has a unique solution.

Answer - 7 : -

Solution:

Given, pair of linearequations is

2x + 3y – 5 = 0

px – 6y – 8 = 0

On comparing with ax +by + c = 0 we get

Here, a1 = 2,b1 = 3, c1 = – 5;

And a2 =p, b2 = – 6, c2 = – 8;

a1 /a2 = 2/p

b1 /b2 =– 3/6 = – ½

c1 /c2 =5/8

Since, the pair oflinear equations has a unique solution.

a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2

so 2/p ≠ – ½

p ≠ – 4

Hence, the pair oflinear equations has a unique solution for all values of p except – 4.

Question - 8 : -

Find the value(s)of in (i) to (iv) and and in(v) for the following pair of equations:

 (v) 2+ 3= 7 and 2px py= 28 – qy, if the pair of equations have infinitely many solutions.

Answer - 8 : -

Solution:

Given pair of linearequations is

2x + 3y = 7

2px + py = 28 – qy

or 2px + (p + q)y – 28= 0

On comparing with ax +by + c = 0,

We get,

Here, a1 =2, b1 = 3, c1 = – 7;

And a2 =2p, b2 = (p + q), c2 = – 28;

a1/a2 =2/2p

b1/b=3/ (p+q)

c1/c

Since, the pair ofequations has infinitely many solutions i.e., both lines are coincident.

a1/a2 =b1/b2 = c1/c2

1/p = 3/(p+q) = ¼

Taking first and thirdparts, we get

p = 4

Again, taking last twoparts, we get

3/(p+q) = ¼

p + q = 12

Since p = 4

So, q = 8

Here, we see that thevalues of p = 4 and q = 8 satisfies all three parts.

Hence, the pair ofequations has infinitely many solutions for all values of p = 4 and q = 8.

Question - 9 : - Two straight paths are represented by the equations –3= 2 and –2+ 6= 5.Check whether thepaths cross each other or not.

Answer - 9 : -

Solution:

Given linear equationsare

x – 3y – 2 = 0 …(i)

-2x + 6y – 5 = 0 …(ii)

On comparing with ax +by c=0,

We get

a1 =1,b1 =-3, c1 =- 2;

a2 =-2, b2 =6, c2 =- 5;

a1/a2 =– ½

b1/b2 =– 3/6 = – ½

c1/c2 =2/5

i.e., a1/a2 =b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2 [parallellines]

Hence, two straightpaths represented by the given equations never cross each other, because

they are parallel toeach other.

Question - 10 : - Write a pair of linear equations which has the unique solution =– 1, =3. How many such pairs can you write?

Answer - 10 : -

Solution:

Condition for the pairof system to have unique solution

a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2

Let the equations be,

a1x + b1y+ c1 = 0

a2x + b2y+ c2 = 0

Since, x = – 1 and y =3 is the unique solution of these two equations, then

It must satisfy theequations –

a1(-1) + b1(3)+ c1 = 0

– a1 +3b1 + c1 = 0 …(i)

and a2(- 1)+ b2(3) + c2 = 0

– a2 +3b2 + c2 = 0 …(ii)

Since for thedifferent values of a1, b1, c1 and a2,b2, c2 satisfy the Eqs. (i) and (ii).

Hence, infinitely manypairs of linear equations are possible.
