Question

4. For which value of k will the following pair of linear equations
have no solution?
3x + y = 1; (2k-1) + (k-1) = 2k + 1​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given pair of equations are:

3x+y=1...(1)

(2k−1)x+(k−1)y=2k+1..(2)

Now rearranging eq1 and eq2 will get

3x+y−1=0...(3)

(2k−1)x+(k−1)y−(2k+1)=0..(4)

Now compare with

a

=−1

a

2

=2k−1,b

=−(2k+1)

Now we get

a

=

k−1

,

c

=

−(2k+1)

−1

Now will take

a

⇒

2k−1

=

k−1

⇒3k−3=2k−1

⇒3k−2k=−1+3

⇒k=2

Hence k=2 is the value

Answer 2

$\underline\mathfrak{Given:-}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: {({2k} \: - \: {1})} \: x \: + \: {({k} \: - \: {2})} \: y \: \: = \: \: {5}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: {({k} \: + \: {2})} \: x \: + \: y \: \: = \: \: {3}$

$\underline\mathfrak{To \: \: Find:-}$

$\: \: \: \: \: The \: \: value \: \: k \: ?$

$\underline\mathfrak{Solutions:-}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \fbox{\dfrac{a_1}{a_2} \: \: = \: \: \dfrac{b_1}{b_2} \: \: \neq \: \: \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \dfrac{{2k} \: - {1}}{{k} \: + \: {2}} \: \: = \: \: \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}} \: \: \neq \: \: \dfrac{5}{3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto \dfrac{{2k} \: - {1}}{{k} \: + \: {2}} \: \: = \: \: \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}} \: \: \: \: \: .....{(1)}.$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}} \: \: \neq \: \: \dfrac{5}{3} \: \: \: \: \: .....{(2)}.$

$\: \: \: \: \: Now, \: \: cross \: \: multiple \: \: in \: \: Eq. \: \: {(1)}.$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto \dfrac{{2k} \: - {1}}{{k} \: + \: {2}} \: \: = \: \: \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {{2k} \: - {1}} \: \: = \: \: {({k} \: - \: {2})} \: \times \: {{({k} \: + \: {2})}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {{2k} \: - {1}} \: \: = \: \: {{k}^{2} \: - \: {2}^{2}} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: {[(a \: + \: b) \: (a \: - \: b) \: \: = \: \: ({a}^{2} \: - \: {b}^{2}]}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {{2k} \: - {1}} \: \: = \: \: {{k}^{2} \: - \: {4}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {0} \: \: = \: \: {k}^{2} \: - \: {2k} \: - \: {4} \: + \: {1}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {0} \: \: = \: \: {k}^{2} \: - \: {2k} \: - \: {3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {k}^{2} \: - \: {2k} \: - \: {3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {k} \: {({k} \: - \: {3})} \: + \: {1} \: {({k} \: - \: {3})}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {({k} \: + \: {1})} \: \: \: {({k} \: - \: {3})}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {k} \: \: = \: \: {-1} \: \: \: Or \: \: \: {k} \: \: = \: \: {3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: Hence, \: \: the \: \: the \: \: value \: \: of \: \: k \: \: is \: \:{-1} \: \: and \: \: {3}.$

$\: \: \: \: \: \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}} \: \: \neq \: \: \dfrac{5}{3} \: \: \: \: \: .....{(2)}.$
