If $x = -y$ and $y > 0$, which of the following is wrong?
  • $x^2y > 0$
  • B
    $x + y = 0$
  • C
    $xy < 0$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\text{x}}-\frac{1}{\text{y}}=0$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$x^2y > 0$

Given:
$x=-y \text { and } y>0$
Now, we have:
$x^2 y$
On substituting $x=-y$, we get:
$(-y)^2 y=y^3>0(\therefore y>0)$
This is true.
$x+y$
On substituting $x=-y$, we get:
$(-y)+y=0$
This is also true.
$xy$
On substituting $x=-y$, we get:
$(-y) y=-y^2<0(\therefore y>0)$
This is again true.
$\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{y}=0$
$\Rightarrow \frac{y-x}{x y}=0$
On substituting $x=-y$, we get:
$\frac{y-(-y)}{(-y) y}=0$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 y}{-y^2}=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 y=0$
$\Rightarrow y=0$
Hence, from the above equation, we get $y=0$, which is wrong.

If the lines given by $3x + 2ky = 2$ and $2x + 5y + 1 = 0$ are parallel then the value of $k$ is:
  • A
    $\frac{-5}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • $\frac{15}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{15}{4}$

$3x + 2ky = 2$ and $2x + 5y + 1 = 0$
$3x + 2ky - 2 = 0$ and $2x + 5y + 1 = 0$
If the lines are parallel, it means the system has an infinite number of solutions.
We know that,
the system of linear equations $a_1x + b_1x + c_1 = 0, a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$ has a unique solution if $\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}.$
So, $\frac{3}{2}=\frac{2\text{k}}{5}=\frac{-2}{1}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{3}{2}=\frac{2\text{k}}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{k}=\frac{15}{4}$

  • A
    $a = 5, b = 1$
  • B
    $a = -5, b = 1$

The given system equations can be written as follows:
$2 x-3 y-7=0 \text { and }(a+b) x-(a+b-3) y-(4 a+b)=0$
The given equations are of the following form:
$a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1=0 \text { and } a_2 x+b_2 y+c_2=0$
Here, $a_1=2, b_1=-3 c_1=-7$ and $a_2=(a+b), b_2=-(a+b-3)$ and $c_2=-(4 a+b)$
$\therefore \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{2}{(a+b)}, \frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{-3}{-(a+b-3)}=\frac{3}{-(a+b-3)} \text { and } \frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-7}{-(4 a+b)}=\frac{7}{(4 a+b)}$
For an infinite number of solution, we must have:
$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}$
$\therefore \frac{3}{(a+b)}=\frac{7}{(a+b-3)}=\frac{7}{(4 a+b)}$
Now, we have:
$\frac{2}{(a+b)}=\frac{3}{(a+b-3)}$
$\Rightarrow a-6=3 a+3 b$
$\Rightarrow a+b+6=0 \ldots$
Again, we have:
$\frac{3}{(a+b-3)}=\frac{7}{(4 a+b)}$
$\Rightarrow 12 a+3 b=7 a+7 b-21$
$\Rightarrow 5 a-7 b+21=0 \ldots \text { (ii) }$
On multiplying (i) by 4 , we get:
$4 a+4 b+24=0$
On substituting $a=-5$ in, we get:
$\Rightarrow-5+b+6=0$
$\Rightarrow b=-1$
$\therefore a=-5 \text { and } b=-1$

$\frac{9}{\text{x+y}}-\frac{4}{\text{x}-\text{y}}=1$
Put $\frac{1}{\text{x+y}}=\text{u}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{x}-\text{y}}=\text{v}$
So, we get
3u + 2v = 2 ...(i)
9u - 4v = 1 ...(ii)
Multiply (i) by 2 and add it to (ii).
⇒ 6u + 4v = 4
⇒ 15u = 5

On solving we can obtain two equations in x and y.
Multiplying each of the equation by the LCM of the denominators, we get
⇒ 3(2x + y + 2) = 5(3x - y + 1) and 2(3x - y + 1) = 3x + 2y + 1
⇒ 6x + 3y + 6 = 15x - 5y + 5 and 6x - 2y + 2 = 3x + 2y + 1
⇒ 9x - 8y = 1 ...(i)
⇒ 3x - 4y = -1 ...(ii)
Multiply (ii) by 3, and subtract from (i).
⇒ 9x - 8y = 1 and 9x - 12y = -3

Answer
Correct option: A.
Parallel lines.
The given system of equations can be weitten as follows: $x+2 y-3=0$ and $2 x+4 y+7=0$
The given equations are of the following form:
$a_2 x+b_1 y+c_1=2, c_1=0 \text { and } a_2=2, b_2 x+b_2 y+c_2=0$
Here, $a_1=1, b_1=2, c_1=-3$ and $a_2=2, b_2=4$ and $c_2=7$
$\therefore \frac{ a _1}{ a _2}=\frac{1}{2}, \frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{ c _1}{ c _2}=\frac{-3}{7}$
$\therefore \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$
So, the given system has no solution.
Hence, the lines are parallel.

  • A
    $\text{x}=1,\ \text{y}=\frac{2}{3}$
  • $\text{x}=\frac{2}{3},\ \text{y}=1$
  • C
    $\text{x}=1,\ \text{y}=\frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    $\text{x}=\frac{3}{2},\ \text{y}=1$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\text{x}=\frac{2}{3},\ \text{y}=1$
$\frac{2}{\text{x}}+\frac{3}{\text{y}}=6$ and $\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{2\text{y}}=2$
Multiplying $\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{2\text{y}}=2$ by 2, we get $\frac{2}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}=4$
So, we have equations, $\frac{2}{\text{x}}+\frac{3}{\text{y}}=6$ and $\frac{2}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}=4$
Put $\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\text{u}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{y}}=\text{v}$
So, we get
2u + 3v = 6 ...(i)
2u + v = 4 ....(ii)
Substituting v = 1 in (ii), we get $\text{u}=\frac{3}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{y}}=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{2}{3}$ and $\text{y}=1.$

If 4x + 6y = 3xy and 8x + 9y = 5xy then:
  • A
    x = 2, y = 3
  • B
    x = 1, y = 2
  • x = 3, y = 4
  • D
    x = 1, y = -1
Answer
Correct option: C.
x = 3, y = 4
4x + 6y = 3xy and 8x + 9y = 5xy
Dividing through out by xy, we get
$\frac{4}{\text{y}}+\frac{6}{\text{x}}=3$ and $\frac{8}{\text{y}}+\frac{9}{\text{x}}=5$
That is, $\frac{6}{\text{x}}+\frac{4}{\text{y}}=3$ and $\frac{9}{\text{x}}+\frac{8}{\text{y}}=5$
Put $\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\text{u}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{y}}=\text{v}$
So, we get
6u + 4v = 3 ...(i)
9u + 8v = 5 ...(ii)
Multiply (i) by 2 and subtract (ii) from the resultant.
⇒ 12u + 8v = 6 and 9u + 8v = 5
⇒ 3u = 1
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\frac{1}{3}$
Substituting $\text{u}=\frac{1}{3}$ in (i), we get $\text{v}=\frac{1}{4}.$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{y}}=\frac{1}{4}$
⇒ x = 3 and y = 4.

  • A
    A unique solutions.
  • B
    Exactly two solutions.
  • C
    Infinitely many solutions.
  • No solution.
Answer
Correct option: D.
No solution.
$x + 2y + 5 = 0$ and $-3x - 6y + 1 = 0$
$\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{1}{-3}$
$\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{2}{-6}=\frac{1}{-3}$
$\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}=5$
Clearly, $\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}\neq\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}$
We know that,
The system of linear equations $a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$ and $a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$
has no solution if $\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}\neq\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}.$
So, the pair of equations has no solution.
