Answer:
For a pair of linear equations to have infinitely many solutions:
a

=
b

b

=
c

So, we need,
p+q
2
=
2p−q
3
=
3(p+q+1)
9
or,
p+q
2
=
2p−q
3
=>2(2p−q)=3(p+q)
=>4p−2q=3p+3q
=>p=5q....(i)
Also,
2p−q
3
=
3(p+q+1)
9
=>9(p+q+1)=9(2p−q)
=>p+q+1=2p−q
=>2p−p=q+q+1
=>p=2q+1
Substituting(i),wehave,
5q=2q+1
=>q=
3
1
Also,p=5q=5(

)=

∴p=

Solution :-
we know that, A linear equation in two variables represents a straight line in 2D Cartesian plane .
• If we consider two linear equations in two variables, say :-
➻ a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
➻ a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
Then , Both the straight lines will coincide if :-
- a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
- In this case , the system will have infinitely many solutions.
So , comparing given pair of linear equations 3x + 4y = 6 and (3p + 2q) * x + (5p + 2q) * y = (4p + 6q - 2) with a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 we get :-
- a1 = 3
- a2 = (3p + 2q)
- b1 = 4
- b2 = (5p + 2q)
- c1 = (-6)
- c2 = -(4p + 6q - 2)
then, for infinite solutions,
→ a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
→ 3/(3p + 2q) = 4/(5p + 2q) = (-6)/(-1)(4p + 6q - 2)
comparing first two we get,
→ 3(5p + 2q) = 4(3p + 2q)
→ 15p + 6q = 12p + 8q
→ 15p - 12p = 8q - 6q
→ 3p = 2q ------- Eqn.(1)
comparing second and third,
→ 4(4p + 6q - 2) = 6(5p + 2q)
→ 16p + 24q - 8 = 30p + 12q
→ 16p - 30p + 24q - 12q = 8
→ 12q - 14p = 8
→ 6 * 2q - 14p = 8
putting value from Eqn.(1),
→ 6 * 3p - 14p = 8
→ 18p - 14p = 8
→ 4p = 8
→ p = 2
putting value of p in Eqn.(1),
→ 3 * 2 = 2q
→ q = 3 .
therefore, value of p and q is 2 and 3 respectively .
