the pair of equation 2 X + 3 y = 5 and 4 x +6y=15 has how many solutions
Answers
Answer:
Option (C) No Solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The pair of equation has no solution.
Explanation:
The given pair of equations are :2x + 3y = 52x+3y=5 (1)
and 4x + 6y = 154x+6y=15 . (2)
The ratio of the coefficient of x of the equation (1) to equation (2) is
\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}

(i)
The ratio of the coefficient of y of the equation (1) to equation (2) is
\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}

(ii)
The ratio of the constant term of the equation (1) to equation (2) is
\dfrac{5}{15}=\dfrac{1}{3}

1
(iii)
From (i) , (ii) and (iii).
The ratio of the coefficient of x is equal to the ratio of coefficient of y but not equal to the ratio of the constant terms.
It means the pair of equation are inconsistent and they representing parallel lines with no solution.
[Note : For unique solution : Ratio of the coefficient of x is not equal to the ratio of coefficient of y
For infinitely many solution : Ratio of the coefficient of x is not equal to the ratio of coefficient of y is equal to the ratio of corresponding constant terms]
Hence, the correct option is (C)no solution
