Question

The system of equations 3x - 5y = 20 ; 6x - 10y = 40 has

  1. No solution
  2. Unique solution
  3. Infinitely many solutions
  4. Infinitely many solutions

hintHint:

1. For Equations with Unique solution (One solution):-
(a1/a2) ≠ (b1/b2)
2. For Equations with Infinitely Many solutions:-
(a1/a2) = (b1/b2) = (c1/c2)
3. For Equations with No solutions:-
(a1/a2) = (b1/b2) ≠ (c1/c2)

The correct answer is: Infinitely many solutions


    Step-by-step solution:-
    3x - 5y = 20 ....................................................................................... (Equation i)
    6x - 10y = 40 ..................................................................................... (Equation ii)
    Comparing Equations i & ii with the standard form of a linear equation in 2 variables, i.e. ax + by = c, we get-
    a1 = 3; b1 = -5; c1 = 20 and
    a2 = 6; b2 = -10; c2 = 40
    Now, we calculate a1/a2; b1/b2 and c1/c2 to check the corelation between the 3:-
    a1/a2 = 3/6 = 1/2 ............................................................................................................................................................ (Equation iii)
    b1/b2 = -5/-10 = 1/2 ....................................................................................................................................................... (Equation iv)
    c1/c2 = 20/40 = 1/2 ......................................................................................................................................................... (Equation v)
    From Equations iii, iv & v, We observe that-
    a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 for the given Equations.
    ∴ The given Equations have Infinitely Many Solutions.
    Final Answer:-
    ∴ Option c i.e. Infinitely Many Solutions is the correct answer.

    The Price of Stock A at 9 A.M was 12.73 .Since then the price has been increasing at the rate of Rs 0.06 per hour. At noon , the price of stock B was Rs 13.48 .It begins to decrease at the rate of Rs 0.14 per hour. If the stocks continue to increase and decrease at the same rates, in how many hours will the prices of the stocks be the same?

    The equation is defined as a mathematical statement with at least two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.
    Let's take an example:
    Assume the hours are "h" when attempting to equalize,
    As per the given question, we can write the equation as:
    12.73 + 0.06h = 13.48 - 0.14h
    Rearrange the terms of h in the above equation,
    0.06h + 0.14h = 13.48- 12.73
    In the above equation, combine the corresponding terms,
    0.2h = 0.75
    Divide both sides by 0.2
    h = 0.75/0.2
    h = 3.75
    Thus, the stock prices will be the same in 3.75 hours.
