Question 3.
Solve the following simultaneous equations using Cramer’s rule.
i. 3x – 4y = 10 ; 4x + 3y = 5
ii. 4x + 3y – 4 = 0 ; 6x = 8 – 5y
iii. x + 2y = -1 ; 2x – 3y = 12
iv. 6x – 4y = -12 ; 8x – 3y = -2
v. 4m + 6n = 54 ; 3m + 2n = 28
vi. 2x + 3y = 2 ; x – \(\frac { y }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
Solution:
i. The given simultaneous equations are 3x – 4y = 10 …(i)
4x + 3y = 5 …(ii)
Equations (i) and (ii) are in ax + by = c form.
Comparing the given equations with
a₁x + b₁y = c₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂, we get
a₁ = 3, b₁ = -4, c₁ = 10 and
a₂ = 4, b₂ = 3, c₂ = 5

∴ (x, y) = (2, -1) is the solution of the given simultaneous equations.

ii. The given simultaneous equations are
4x + 3y – 4 = 0
∴ 4x + 3y = 4 …(i)
6x = 8 – 5y
∴ 6x + 5y = 8 …(ii)
Equations (i) and (ii) are in ax + by = c form.
Comparing the given equations with
a₁x + b₁y = c₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂, we get
a₁ = 4, b₁ = 3, c₁ = 4 and
a₂ = 6, b₂ = 5, c₂ = 8

∴ (x, y) = (-2, 4) is the solution of the given simultaneous equations.

iii. The given simultaneous equations are
x + 2y = -1 …(i)
2x – 3y = 12 …(ii)
Equations (i) and (ii) are in ax + by = c form.
Comparing the given equations with
a₁x + b₁y = C₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂, we get
a₁ = 1, b₁ = 2, c₁ = -1 and
a₂ = 2, b₂ = -3, c₂ = 12

∴ (x, y) = (3, -2) is the solution of the given simultaneous equations.

iv. The given simultaneous equations are
6x – 4y = -12
∴ 3x – 2y = -6 …(i) [Dividing both sides by 2]
8x – 3y = -2 …(ii)
Equations (i) and (ii) are in ax + by = c form.
Comparing the given equations with
a₁x + b₁y = c₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂, we get
a₁ = 3, b₁ = -2, c₁ = -6 and
a₂ = 8, b₂ = -3, c₂ = -2

∴ (x, y) = (2, 6) is the solution of the given simultaneous equations.

v. The given simultaneous equations are
4m + 6n = 54
2m + 3n = 27 …(i) [Dividing both sides by 2]
3m + 2n = 28 …(ii)
Equations (i) and (ii) are in am + bn = c form.
Comparing the given equations with
a₁m + b₁n = c₁ and a₂m + b₂n = c₂, we get
a₁ = 2, b₁ = 3, c₁ = 27 and
a₂ = 3, b₂ = 2, c₂ = 28


∴ (m, n) = (6, 5) is the solution of the given simultaneous equations.

vi. The given simultaneous equations are
2x + 3y = 2 …(i)
x = \(\frac { y }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)
∴ 2x – y = 1 …(ii) [Multiplying both sides by 2]
Equations (i) and (ii) are in ax + by = c form.
Comparing the given equations with
a₁x + b₁y = c₁ and a₂x + b₂y = c₂, we get
a₁ = 2, b₁ = 3, c₁ = 2 and
a₂ = 2, b₂ = -1, c₂ = 1


Question 1.
To solve the simultaneous equations by determinant method, fill in the blanks,
y + 2x – 19 = 0; 2x – 3y + 3 = 0 (Textbookpg.no. 14)
Solution:
Write the given equations in the form
ax + by = c.
2x + y = 19
2x – 3y = -3


Question 2.
Complete the following activity. (Textbook pg. no. 15)
Solution:


Question 3.
What is the nature of solution if D = 0? (Textbook pg. no. 16)
Solution:
If D = 0, i.e. a₁b₂ – b₁a₂ = 0, then the two simultaneous equations do not have a unique solution.
Examples:
i. 2x – 4y = 8 and x – 2y = 4
Here, a₁b₂ – b₁a₂ = (2)(-2) – (-4) (1)
= -4 + 4 = 0
Graphically, we can check that these two lines coincide and hence will have infinite solutions.

ii. 2x – y = -1 and 2x – y = -4
Here, a₁ b₂ – b₁ a₂ = (2)(-1) – (-1) (2)
= -2 + 2 = 0
Graphically, we can check that these two lines are parallel and hence they do not have a solution.

Question 4.
What can you say about lines if common solution is not possible? (Textbook pg. no. 16)
Answer:
If the common solution is not possible, then the lines will either coincide or will be parallel to each other.
