Q3(ii):
On comparing the ratios $\frac{a_1}{a_2}$, $\frac{b_1}{b_2}$, and $\frac{c_1}{c_2}$, find out whether the following pair of linear equations are consistent, or inconsistent. (ii) 2x – 3y = 8 ; 4x – 6y = 9

Solution :

Given: A pair of linear equations in two variables:

Equation 1: $2x - 3y = 8$

Equation 2: $4x - 6y = 9$

To Find: Determine whether the given pair of linear equations is consistent or inconsistent by comparing the ratios $\frac{a_1}{a_2}$, $\frac{b_1}{b_2}$, and $\frac{c_1}{c_2}$.

Step 1: Standardizing the Equations

The standard form of a linear equation in two variables is $ax + by + c = 0$. We rewrite the given equations in this form:

Equation 1: $2x - 3y - 8 = 0$

Equation 2: $4x - 6y - 9 = 0$

Step 2: Identifying Coefficients

Comparing these with the general forms $a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$ and $a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$, we identify:

For Equation 1: $a_1 = 2$, $b_1 = -3$, $c_1 = -8$

For Equation 2: $a_2 = 4$, $b_2 = -6$, $c_2 = -9$

Step 3: Calculating the Ratios

We calculate the ratios of the coefficients:

Ratio of $x$-coefficients: $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$

Ratio of $y$-coefficients: $\frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{-3}{-6} = \frac{1}{2}$

Ratio of constants: $\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{-8}{-9} = \frac{8}{9}$

Step 4: Comparing the Ratios and Applying the Consistency Condition

We observe the following relationship between the ratios:

$\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$

Since $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{8}{9}$, the condition for parallel lines (no solution) is satisfied.

[Theorem: If $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$, the lines are parallel and the system of equations has no solution, making it inconsistent.]

Final Answer: Since the ratios satisfy the condition $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$, the given pair of linear equations is inconsistent.

With over 11 years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege of mentoring more than 5,000 students across various reputed coaching institutes in Bangalore. My teaching has primarily focused on preparing students for competitive exams, and I take pride in the fact that many of my students have successfully qualified for NEET, JEE and CET under my guidance. Throughout my career, I have been committed to delivering clear, concept-driven instruction while fostering a supportive and open classroom environment. I ensure that every student, regardless of their level, feels comfortable asking questions and engaging actively in the learning process. My ability to simplify complex topics and build strong student rapport continues to be the cornerstone of my teaching approach.
