Q4(iv):
Which of the following pairs of linear equations are consistent/inconsistent? If consistent, obtain the solution graphically: (iv) 2x – 2y – 2 = 0, 4x – 4y – 5 = 0

Solution :

Given: A pair of linear equations in two variables:

Equation (1): $2x - 2y - 2 = 0$

Equation (2): $4x - 4y - 5 = 0$

To Find: Determine whether the given pair of linear equations is consistent or inconsistent. If consistent, obtain the solution graphically.

Step 1: Comparing the coefficients to determine consistency.

For a pair of linear equations of the form $a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$ and $a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$, the consistency is determined by the ratios of the coefficients:

From Equation (1): $a_1 = 2, b_1 = -2, c_1 = -2$

From Equation (2): $a_2 = 4, b_2 = -4, c_2 = -5$

Calculating the ratios:

$\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{-2}{-4} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{-2}{-5} = \frac{2}{5}$

Step 2: Analyzing the ratios.

We observe that $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$ (since $\frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{2}{5}$).

[According to the algebraic condition for lines, if $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$, the lines are parallel and do not intersect.]

Since the lines do not intersect, there is no common solution for the pair of equations.

Step 3: Conclusion on consistency.

A pair of linear equations is called consistent if it has at least one solution, and inconsistent if it has no solution.

Since the pair of equations $2x - 2y - 2 = 0$ and $4x - 4y - 5 = 0$ has no solution, the pair is inconsistent.

x y L1 L2

Final Answer: The pair of linear equations is inconsistent because the lines represented by the equations are parallel and have no point of intersection.
