Find the values of p in (i) to (iv) and p and q in (v) for the following pair of equations
(i) 3x – y – 5 = 0 and 6x – 2y – p = 0, if the lines represented by these equations are parallel.
(ii) – x + py = 1 and px – y = 1 if the pair of equations has no solution.
(iii) – 3x + 5y = 7 and 2px – 3y = 1,
if the lines represented by these equations are intersecting at a unique point.
(iv) 2x + 3y – 5 = 0 and px – 6y – 8 = 0,
if the pair of equations has a unique solution.
(v) 2x + 3y = 7 and 2px + py = 28 – qy,
if the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions.
(i) Given pair of linear equations is
$3 x-y-5=0$ $\ldots$ (i)
and $\quad 6 x-2 y-p=0$ ....(ii)
On comparing with $a x+b y+c=0$, we get
$a_{1}=3, b_{1}=-1$
and $c_{1}=-5$ [from Eq. (i)]
$a_{2}=6, b_{2}=-2$
and $c_{2}=-p$ [from Eq. (ii)]
Since, the lines represented by these equations are parallel, then
$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$
$\frac{3}{6}=\frac{-1}{-2} \neq \frac{-5}{-p}$
Taking last two parts, we get $\frac{-1}{-2} \neq \frac{-5}{-p}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{5}{p}$
$\Rightarrow \quad p \neq 10$
Hence, the given pair of linear equations are parallel for all real values of $p$ except 10 i.e., $p \in R-\{10\}$.
(ii) Given pair of linear equations is
$-x+p y-1=0$ $\ldots$ (i)
and $p x-y-1=0$ $\ldots$ (ii)
On comparing with $a x+b y+c=0$, we get
$a_{1}=-1, b_{1}=p$ and $c_{1}=-1 \quad$ [from Eq. (i)]
$a_{2}=p_{1} b_{2}=-1$ and $c_{2}=-1$ [from Eq. (ii)]
Since, the pair of linear equations has no solution i.e., both lines are parallel to each other.
$\therefore \quad \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{p}=\frac{p}{-1} \neq \frac{-1}{-1}$
Taking last two parts, we get
$\frac{p}{-1} \neq \frac{-1}{-1}$
$\Rightarrow \quad p \neq-1$
Taking first two parts, we get
$\frac{-1}{p}=\frac{p}{-1}$
$\Rightarrow \quad p^{2}=1$
$\Rightarrow \quad p=\pm 1$
but $p \neq-1$
$\therefore \quad p=1$
Hence, the given pair of linear equations has no solution for $p=1$.
(III) Given, pair of linear equations is
$-3 x+5 y-7=0$ $\ldots$ (i)
and $\quad 2 p x-3 y-1=0 \quad$...(ii)
On comparing with $a x+b y+c=0$, we get
$a_{1}=-3, b_{1}=5$
$\begin{array}{lll}\text { and } & c_{1}=-7 & \text { [from Eq. (i)] }\end{array}$
$a_{2}=2 p_{1} b_{2}=-3$
$\begin{array}{lll}\text { and } & c_{2}=-1 & \text { [from Eq. (ii)] }\end{array}$
Since, the lines are intersecting at a unique point i.e., it has a unique solution.
$\therefore$ $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{-3}{2 p} \neq \frac{5}{-3}$
$\Rightarrow \quad 9 \neq 10 p$
$\Rightarrow \quad p \neq \frac{9}{10}$
Hence, the lines represented by these equations are intersecting at a unique point for all real values of $p$ except $\frac{9}{10}$
(Iv) Given pair of linear equations is
$2 x+3 y-5=0$
and $\quad p x-6 y-8=0 \quad$... (ii)
On comparing with $a x+b y+c=0$, we get
$a_{1}=2, b_{1}=3$
and $\quad c_{1}=-5 \quad$ [from Eq. (i)]
$a_{2}=p_{1} \quad b_{2}=-6$
$\begin{array}{lcc}\text { and } & c_{2}=-8 & \text { [from Eq. (ii)] }\end{array}$
Since, the pair of linear equations has a unique solution.
$\therefore$ $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{D_{1}}{b_{2}}$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{2}{p} \neq \frac{3}{-6}$
$\Rightarrow$ $p \neq-4$
Hence, the pair of linear equations has a unique solution for all values of $p$ except $-4$ i.e.,
$p \in R-\{-4,$,
(v) Given pair of linear equations is
$2 x+3 y=7$ $\ldots(1)$
and $\quad 2 p x+p y=28-q y$
$\Rightarrow \quad 2 p x+(p+q) y=28 \quad$...(ii)
On comparing with $a x+b y+c=0$, we get
$a_{1}=2, b_{1}=3$
and $c_{1}=-7 \quad$ [from Eq. (i)]
$a_{2}=2 p_{1} b_{2}=(p+q)$
and $c_{2}=-28$ [from Eq. (ii)]
Since, the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions $i$ i. $e$., both lines are coincident.
$\therefore \quad \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{2}{2 p}=\frac{3}{(p+q)}=\frac{-7}{-28}$
Taking first and third parts, we get
$\frac{2}{2 p}=\frac{-7}{-28}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow \quad p=4$
Again, taking last two parts, we get
$\frac{3}{p+q}=\frac{-7}{-28} \Rightarrow \frac{3}{p+q}=\frac{1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow \quad p+q=12$
$\Rightarrow \quad 4+q=12 \quad[\because p=4]$
$\therefore \quad q=8$
Here, we see that the values of $p=4$ and $q=8$ satisfies all three parts.
Hence, the pair of equations has infinitely many solutions for the values of $p=4$ and $q=8$
