Ex 3.1, 3 On comparing the ratios š1/š2 , š1/š2 & š1/š2 , find out whether the following pair of linear equations are consistent, or inconsistent. 3x + 2y = 5 ; 2x ā 3y = 7 3x + 2y ā 5 = 0 2x ā 3y ā 7 = 0 3x + 2y ā 5 = 0 Comparing with a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 ā“ a1 = 3 , b1 = 2 , c1 = ā5 2x ā 3y ā 7 = 0 Comparing with a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 ā“ a2 = 2 , b2 = ā3 , c2 = ā7 a1 = 3 , b1 = 2 , c1 = ā5 & a2 = 2 , b2 = ā3 , c2 = ā7 Since š1/š2 ā š1/š2 We have a unique solution Therefore, our system is consistent.
