if the graph of the equations 3x+4y=12 and (m+n)x+2(m-n)y=5m-1 is a coincident line,then
1.m=-1,n=-5
2.m=1,n=5
3.m=5,n=1
4.m=-5,n=-1
Since the pair of linear equations have infinite solutions they obey the criterion- (a1/a2)=(b1/b2)=(c1/c2)
Here a1=3 ,b1=4, c1=12
a2=(m+n), b2=2(m-n), c2=5m -1
applying these values we get,
{3/(m+n)} = {4/2(m-n)} = {12/(5m-1)}
equating the first and second part, we get
{3/(m+n)} = {4/2(m-n)}
3/(m+n) = 2/(m-n)
3(m-n) = 2(m+n)
3m - 3n = 2m + 2n
3m - 2m = 3n + 2n
M = 5n ........... (1)
Equating the first and third part
3/(m+n) = 12/(5m-1)
1/(m+n) = 4/(5m-1)
5m – 1 = 4(m+n)
5m – 1 = 4m + 4n
5m – 4m -4n = 1
m – 4n = 1
Substituting m = 5n from eqn(1)
5n -4n = 1
n = 1
m = 5n
m = 5(1)
m = 5
Therefore m = 5 and n = 1 are the required values.
