Q3(v):
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. (v) $\frac{4}{3}x + 2y = 8$ ; 2x + 3y = 12
Solution :
Given: A pair of linear equations in two variables:
Equation 1: $\frac{4}{3}x + 2y = 8$
Equation 2: $2x + 3y = 12$
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 $ax + by + c = 0$ or $ax + by = c$. We will express both equations in the form $ax + by = c$.
Equation 1: $\frac{4}{3}x + 2y = 8$
Equation 2: $2x + 3y = 12$
Step 2: Identifying Coefficients
Comparing the given equations with the general form $a_1x + b_1y = c_1$ and $a_2x + b_2y = c_2$:
For Equation 1: $a_1 = \frac{4}{3}$, $b_1 = 2$, $c_1 = 8$
For Equation 2: $a_2 = 2$, $b_2 = 3$, $c_2 = 12$
Step 3: Calculating the Ratios
Now, we calculate the ratios of the coefficients:
Ratio of $x$-coefficients: $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{4/3}{2} = \frac{4}{3 \times 2} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$
Ratio of $y$-coefficients: $\frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{2}{3}$
Ratio of constants: $\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{8 \div 4}{12 \div 4} = \frac{2}{3}$
Step 4: Comparing the Ratios and Determining Consistency
We observe that:
$\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{2}{3}$
Therefore, $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}$.
[Justification: According to the algebraic condition for consistency, if $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}$, the lines are coincident, meaning they have infinitely many solutions. A system of linear equations is defined as consistent if it has at least one solution.]
Since the ratios are equal, the pair of linear equations represents coincident lines and possesses infinitely many solutions.
Final Answer: The pair of linear equations is consistent.

Sir clears all my doubts he makes difficult concepts easy to understand he takes Previous year questions which makes it easier to prepare
Ability to connect with children (or with older students), on a personal level. communication and social skills.Teaching can be quite satisfying for people who do it well. I know this because I am a teacher, too. Although I do not think I'm always the best teacher, do I know that the majority of my students love me, and I guess this is partly why good things happen in my classroom. I have spent a lot of time thinking about and done a lot of research in to the question of what characteristics make a teacher effective and how I can succeed in the classroom. Although every great teacher has their own special, unique style, I have found that there are nine specific universal qualities that are necessary for anyone who wants to teach effectively, whether they want to teach in an elementary school or a university. If any teacher possesses the following characteristics and qualities, he/she can become a very good teacher with large fan base.
