Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables — Question Ex 3.5 Q1
Back to all questionsEx 3.5 Class 10 Maths Question 1.
Which of the following pairs of linear equations has unique solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. In case there is unique solution, find it by using cross-multiplication method.
(i) x – 3y – 3 = 0, 3x – 9y – 2 = 0
(ii) 2x + y = 5, 3x + 2y = 8
(iii) 3x – 5y = 20, 6x – 10y = 40
(iv) x – 3y – 7 = 0, 3x – 3y – 15 = 0
CBSE Class 10 Pair of Linear Equations — Complete Guide
This chapter carries 5-6 marks and is crucial for the Algebra unit. Master graphical and algebraic methods for solving pairs of linear equations.
Quick Revision: Key Concepts
- Unique solution: a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2 (intersecting lines)
- Infinite solutions: a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 (coincident lines)
- No solution: a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2 (parallel lines)
- Methods: Substitution, Elimination, Cross-multiplication
- Reducible equations: Substitute u = 1/x, v = 1/y
Most Important Questions
- Determine consistency of a system of equations
- Solve using elimination or substitution method
- Word problems: age, speed, fraction, geometry type
- Equations reducible to linear form (1/x, 1/y type)
