Question
Find the solution of the given system of equations.
x+y82=x+2y148=3x+y1211
Options:
A .  (1, -1)
B .  (2, 6)
C .  (2, 2)
D .  (0, 1)
Answer: Option B
:
B
Take first two components,
x+y82=x+2y148
8(x+y8)=2(x+2y14)
8x+8y64=2x+4y28
6x+4y36=0
3x+2y18=0.....(i)
Take last two components,
x+2y148=3x+y1211
11(x+2y14)=8(3x+y12)
11x+22y154=24x+8y96
13x+14y58=0.....(ii)
On multiplying equation (i) by 7, we get
21x+14y126=0...(iii),
On subtracting equation (ii) from (iii), we get
34x=68
x=2
On substituting value of x=2 in equation (i), we get
3×2+2y18=0
y=6
The solutionis (2, 6).
