10th Class Mathematics Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables Question Bank MCQs - Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables

  • question_answer
    The graphs of the equations \[\text{2x}+\text{3y}-\text{2}=0\] and \[\text{x}-\text{y}-\text{5}=0\]represent two lines which are:

    A) coincident

    B) parallel

    C) intersecting exactly at one point

    D) perpendicular to each other

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] The given pair of linear equations are
    \[2x+3y-2=0\] and \[x-y-5=0\]
    Here,  \[{{a}_{1}}=2,\,{{b}_{1}}=3,\,{{c}_{1}}=-2,\,\,{{a}_{2}}=1,\,{{b}_{2}}=-1,\,{{c}_{2}}=-5\]
    Now,  \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{2}{1}=2,\,\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{3}{-1}=-3\Rightarrow \frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\]
    \[\therefore \] The given lines are intersecting exactly at one point.
