Example 2. The two equations 3x + 6y = 15 and 6x + 12y = 30 have
- Only one solution
- Infinite number of solutions
- No solution
- None of these
Solution: The correct answer is 2. Infinite number of solutions
Here \(\frac{3}{6}=\frac{6}{12}=\frac{15}{30}\)
Example 3. The two equations 4x + 4y = 20 and 5x + 5y = 30 have solution (1,1)
- Only one solution
- Infinite no of solutions
- No solution
- None of these.
Solution: The correct answer is 3. No solution
Here \(\frac{4}{5}=\frac{4}{5} \neq \frac{20}{30}\)
Example 4. Which of the following equations have a solution (1, 1)
- 2x + 3y = 9
- 6x + 2y = 9
- 3x + 2y = 5
- 4x + 6y = 8
Solution: The correct answer is 3. 3x + 2y = 5
3.1 +2.1 = 5

Example 5. The two equations 4x + 3y = 25 and 5x – 2y = 14 have the solutions
- x = 4, y = 3
- x = 3, y = 4
- x = 3, y = 3
- x = 4, y = -3
Solution: The correct answer is 1. x = 4, y = 3
4x + 3y 25….. (1)
5x-2y= 14……..(2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3
⇒ \(\begin{array}{r}
8 x+6 y=50 \\
15 x-6 y=42 \\
\hline 23 x=92
\end{array}\)
x = 4
∴ \(y=\frac{25-4 \times 4}{3}=3\)
Example 6. The solution of these equation x + y = 7 are
- (1, 6), (3, 4)
- (1, 6), (4, 3)
- (1, 6) (4, 3)
- (1, 6) (-4, 3)
Solution: The correct answer is 3. (1, 6) (4, 3)
1 + 6 = 7, 4 + 3 = 7
Example 7. The equations \(\frac{x}{4}\) + \(\frac{x}{2}\) + 6 = 0 and 8x + \(\frac{y}{k}\) + 2 = 0 can have no solution if the value of k is one of the following.
- 2
- ±\(\frac{1}{2}\)
- ±2
- 4
Solution: The correct answer is 2. ±\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{\frac{1}{k}}{8}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{k}} \neq \frac{6}{2}\)or, \(\frac{1}{k^2}=4\)
k= +\(\frac{1}{2}\)
The value of k is +\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Example 8. The equations (1+k)x + \(\frac{y}{b}\)= 1 and 3x = \(\frac{y}{k}\) = 1 cannot be solves if k is
- 1
- 2
- – 2
- – 3
Solution: The correct answer is 3. -2
\(\frac{1+k}{3}=\frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{k}} \neq \frac{1}{1}\)
or, \(\frac{1+k}{3}=\frac{k}{6}\)
or, 6+ 6k 3k, 3k = -6,
k = -2
The value of k is -2
Example 9. 2x + 3t = 1, y = \(\frac{t}{3}\) + 1 can be solved
- 2x + 9y = 10
- 2x – 9y = 10
- 2x – 9y = 0
- 9x + 2y = 0
Solution: The correct answer is 1. 2x + 9y = 10
2x + 3 (3y – 3) = 1 or, 2x + 9y = 10.
