Question


The solution of the pair of linear equations
x+2y=5 and 7x+3y=13 is (2, 1).


Options:
A .   True
B .   False
C .   a=3, b=+2, c=7  
D .   a=3, b=2, c=7  
Answer: Option B
:
B

x+2y=5   ...(1)


7x+3y=13  ...(2) 


Let's solve these equations using elimination method.
On multiplying the first equation by 7, we get


7x+14y=35   ...(3)


On subtracting (2) from (3), we have 


  7x+14y=35


7x3y=13
_______________


  11y=22
 
y=2 


On subsituting value of y in  x+2y=5, we get
x+2(2)=5
x=1 


x=1 and y=2
Hence, the solution of the given equations is (1, 2).
