Find the value of ‘p’ and ‘q’ for which the following pair of linear equations has infinite number of solutions. 2x + 3y = 7 , 2px +(p + q)y = 28 |
Answer» Given:-The equations are -
To Find :-The value of p and q Solution:-2x + 3y = 7 2px + ( p + q )y = 28 Now, Comparing both the equations to the standard form ax + by + c = 0 we get, 2x + 3y -7 = 0 ......(i) 2px + ( p + q )y - 28 = 0 .....(ii) Here , in eq (i) a1 = 2 , b 1= 3 , c1 = -7 In eq(ii) a 2= 2P , b 2= (p + q) , C2 = - 28
For infinitely many solution , ⇒ ⇒ so, ⇒ Now , by cross multiplication , ⇒2p + 2q = 6p ⇒2p - 6p = -2q ⇒-4p = -2q ⇒2p = q ..... ( iii) Now, Again, By cross multiplication 7p + 7q = 84 p+ q = 84 /7 p + q = 12 .....( iv) Now putting the value of q that we FIND out in eq (iii) in eq( iv) , we get p+ q = 12 p + 2p = 12 3p = 12 p = 12 / 3 p = 4Therefore, the value of p is 4 Now , we get 2p = q in eq (iii) so , putting the value of p in eq (iii) 2 × 4 = q q = 8Hence the value of p is 4 and q is 8 . |
