What will (a) be for the equations (10x+9y=38) and (20x+ay=91) to have no solution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 18

For two linear equations to have no solution, the condition is \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\ne\frac{c_1}{c_2}\). Here, \(\frac{10}{20}=\frac{1}{2}\), so \(\frac{9}{a}=\frac{1}{2}\), which gives \(a=18\). Also, \(\frac{38}{91}\ne\frac{1}{2}\), so the two lines are parallel and inconsistent. Therefore, the correct answer is 18. Exam tip: For ‘no solution,’ first check that the ratios of the coefficients of both variables are equal but the ratio of the constant terms is different.
