MCQ
Solve system of linear equations, using matrix method. $5 x+2 y=4 ; 7 x+3 y=5$
  • A
    $x=-2,y=-3$
  • $x=2,y=-3$
  • C
    $x=2,y=3$
  • D
    $x=-2,y=3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$x=2,y=-3$
The given system of equation can be written in the form of $A X=B,$
where$A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}5 & 2 \\ 7 & 3\end{array}\right], X=\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y\end{array}\right]$ and  $B=\left[\begin{array}{l}4 \\ 5\end{array}\right]$
Now $|A|=15-14=1 \neq 0$
Thus, $A$ is non $-$ singular.
Therefore, its inverse exists.
Now,
$A^{-1}=\frac{1}{|\mathrm{A}|}(\operatorname{adj} A)$
$\therefore A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3 & -2 \\ -7 & 5\end{array}\right]$
$\therefore X=A^{-1} B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3 & -2 \\ -7 & 5\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}4 \\ 5\end{array}\right]$
$\Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}12-10 \\ -28+25\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}2 \\ -3\end{array}\right]$
Hence, $x=2$ and $y=-3$
