Q3(iv):
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. (iv) 5x – 3y = 11 ; – 10x + 6y = –22
Solution :
Given: A pair of linear equations in two variables:
Equation 1: $5x - 3y = 11$
Equation 2: $-10x + 6y = -22$
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 $a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$ and $a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$. We rewrite the given equations in this form:
Equation 1: $5x - 3y - 11 = 0$
Equation 2: $-10x + 6y + 22 = 0$
Step 2: Identifying the Coefficients
By comparing the equations with the standard form, we identify the coefficients:
For Equation 1: $a_1 = 5$, $b_1 = -3$, $c_1 = -11$
For Equation 2: $a_2 = -10$, $b_2 = 6$, $c_2 = 22$
Step 3: Calculating the Ratios
We calculate the ratios of the coefficients as follows:
Ratio of $x$-coefficients: $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{5}{-10} = -\frac{1}{2}$
Ratio of $y$-coefficients: $\frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{-3}{6} = -\frac{1}{2}$
Ratio of constants: $\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{-11}{22} = -\frac{1}{2}$
Step 4: Comparing the Ratios and Determining Consistency
We observe that:
$\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2} = -\frac{1}{2}$
[Since the ratios are equal, the lines represented by these equations are coincident.]
[According to the algebraic condition for consistency: If $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}$, the system has infinitely many solutions and is considered consistent (specifically, dependent consistent).]
Final Answer: The pair of linear equations is consistent.
