Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 54 Given: Our given equation are 17x + 7y = 18 and 51x + 21y = p Concept used: Two linear equation a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 then, Unique solution, then (a1/a2) ≠ (b1/b2) Coincident, then (a1/a2) = (b1/b2) = (c1/c2) No solution, then (a1/a2) = (b1/b2) ≠ (c1/c2) It is important to note that the converse is also true. Calculation: For coincident, (a1/a2) = (b1/b2) = (c1/c2) Comparing with the above equation then, 17/51 = 7/21 = 18/p ⇒ 1/3 = 18/p ⇒ p = 54 ∴ The required value of p is 54 |
