Question: If the system of equations, a<sup>2</sup>x – by = a<sup>2</sup> – b & bx – b<sup>2</sup>y = 2 + 4 b...
If the system of equations, a2x – by = a2 – b & bx – b2y
= 2 + 4 b possess no solution, then –
A
a = 1, b = – 1
B
a = 1, b = – 2
C
a = – 1, b = – 1
D
a = – 1, b = 2
Answer
a = – 1, b = 2
Explanation
Solution
ba2= b2b¹ 2+4ba2−b Ž a2b2 = b2 Ž b2(a2 – 1) Ž a = 1 or
– 1 & b = 0, If a = 1 then 2 + 4 b = b – b2 Ž b2 + 3 b + 2
= 0 Ž b = – 2 or – 1;
If a = – 1 then b = – 2 or – 1]
