Answer» Given system of equations are 2x + 3y = 1 and 4x + 6y = 4. Comparing given system of equations with a1x + b1y = c1 and a2x + b2y = c2, we get a1 = 2, b1 = 3, c1 = 1 and a2 = 4, b2 = 6, c2 = 4. Now, \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}= \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2},\) \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}\) = \(\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\) & \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) Hence, \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{1}{4} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}\) Hence, \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2}\) \(\neq\) \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\), which is condition of No Solution. Hence, given system of equations has no solution. Hence proved |
