Solution: For any pair of linear equation, a₁ x + b₁ y + c₁ = 0 a₂ x + b₂ y + c₂ = 0 a) a₁/a₂ ≠ b₁/b₂ (Intersecting Lines/uniqueSolution) b) a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂ (Coincident Lines/Infinitely many Solutions) c) a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂ (Parallel Lines/No solution) (i) x + y = 5, 2x + 2y = 10 a₁/a₂= 1/2 b₁/b₂= 1/2 c₁/c₂= -5/(-10) = 1/2 From the above, a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂ Therefore, lines are coincident and have infinitely many solutions. Hence, they are consistent. x + y - 5 = 0 y = - x + 5 y = 5 - x 2x + 2y - 10 = 0 2y = 10 - 2x y = 5 - x All the points on coincident line are solutions for the given pair of equations. (ii) x - y = 8, 3x - 3y =16 a₁/a₂ = 1/3 b₁/b₂ = -1/(-3) = 1/3 c₁/c₂ = - 8/(-16) = 1/2 From the above, a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂ Therefore, lines are parallel and have no solution. Hence, the pair of equations are inconsistent. (iii) 2x + y - 6 = 0, 4x - 2y - 4 = 0 a₁/a₂ = 2/4 = 1/2 b₁/b₂ = 1/(-2) = -1/2 c₁/c₂ = -6/(-4) = 3/2 From the above, a₁/a₂ ≠ b₁/b₂ Therefore, lines are intersecting and have a unique solution. Hence, they are consistent. 2x + y - 6 = 0 y = 6 - 2x 4x - 2y - 4 = 0 2y = 4x - 4 y = 2x - 2 x = 2 and y = 2 are solutions for the given pair of equations. (iv) 2x - 2y - 2 = 0, 4x - 4y - 5 = 0 a₁/a₂ = 2/4 = 1/2 b₁/b₂ = -2/(-4) = 1/2 c₁/c₂ = -2/(-5) = 2/5 From the above, a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂ Therefore, lines are parallel and have no solution. Hence, the pair of equations are inconsistent. ☛ Check: NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 3 Video Solution: Which of the following pairs of linear equations are consistent/inconsistent?
