                            If \[5x-3y=9\]and \[(a-b)x-(a+b-3)y=a-4b\]represent coincident Lines, then values of a and b are:

    A) \[\frac{-11}{10},\frac{9}{10}\]

    B) \[\frac{-9}{10},\frac{11}{10}\]

    C) \[\frac{-33}{2},6\]

    D) \[-6,\frac{33}{5}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] The pair of equations are \[5x-3y-9=0\]
    and \[(a-b)\,x-(a+b-3)\,y-(a-4b)=0\]
    Here, \[{{a}_{1}}=5,\,\,{{b}_{1}}=-3,\,{{c}_{1}}=-9,\,\,{{a}_{2}}=a-b,\]
    \[{{b}_{2}}=-(a+b-3),\,\,{{c}_{2}}=-(a-4b)\]
    For the equations to be coincident, we have 
                 \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{5}{a-b}=\frac{-3}{-(a+b-3)}=\frac{-9}{-(a-4b)}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{5}{a-b}=\frac{3}{a+b-3}\] and \[\frac{3}{a+b-3}=\frac{9}{a-4b}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,5a+5b-15=3a-3b\]
    and       \[3a-12b=9a+9b-27\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2a+8b-15=0\]                     …..(1)
    and       \[2a+7b-9=0\]               ……(2)
    Subtracting eq. (2) from eq. (1). we get
                \[b-6=0\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,b=6\]
    Substituting this value of b in eq. (1). we get
                \[2a+8\times 6-15=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2a+48-15=0\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,2a=-33\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,a=\frac{-33}{2}\]
