CBSE Worksheet for chapter-3 Linear Equation in two Variables class 10

Worksheet For class 10

Summary

(Standard form of linear equation)

a₁ +b₁y + c₁ =0

a₂x + b₂y+ c₂=0

• For solving such equation we have three methods.

1. Elimination by substitution
2. Elimination by equating the coefficients
3. Elimination by cross multiplication

CONDITION FOR SOLVALIBILITY (OR CONSISTENCY) OF SYSTEM OF EQUATION

• Unique Solution

Two lines a₁x +b₁y+c₁=0 and a₂x +b₂y+c₂ 0, if the denominator a ₁b₂-a ₂b ₁ 0 then the given system of equation have unique solution and solution are said to be consistent

a₁b₂ – a₂b₁ ≠0 i.e. a1/a2≠(b2 )/b1

• No solution

Two lines a ₁x+b ₁y+c ₁=0 and a ₂x+b ₂y+c ₂=0,if the denominator a ₁b ₂-a ₂b ₁=0 then the given system of equation have no solution and solution are said to be consistent and the solution are said to be inconsistent.

i.e. a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2

• Many Solutions

​Two lines a ₁x+b ₁y+c ₁=0 and a ₂x+b ₂y+c₂=0 if a1/a2=b1/b2=c1/c2then equation of system has many solutions and solutions are said to be consistent
