NCERT Class X Chapter 3: Pair of Linear Equations In Two Variables Question: On comparing the ratio, \( \left(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\right), \left(\frac{b_1}{b_2}\right), \left(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\right) \), find out whether the following pair of linear equations are consistent, or inconsistent. \( \frac{4}{3}x + 2y = 8 \) ; \( 2x + 3y = 12 \) Given: The two linear equations are: (1) \( \frac{4}{3}x + 2y = 8 \) (2) \( 2x + 3y = 12 \) To Find: Whether the given pair of linear equations are consistent or inconsistent by comparing the ratios: \( \left(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\right), \left(\frac{b_1}{b_2}\right), \left(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\right) \) Formula: For two linear equations in the form: \( a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0 \) \( a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0 \) The consistency is checked as follows: Case 1: If \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} \ne \frac{b_1}{b_2} \), equations are consistent and have a unique solution. Case 2: If \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \ne \frac{c_1}{c_2} \), equations a...
