NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 4 Determinants Ex 4.6
Examine the consistency of the system of equations in Questions 1 to 6:
Ex 4.6 Class 12 Maths Question 1.
x + 2y = 2
2x + 3y = 3
Solution:
x + 2y = 2,
2x + 3y = 3
=>
=> AX = B
Now |A| =
= 3 – 4
= – 1 ≠ 0.
Hence, equations are consistent.
![\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}\left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{matrix} \right]](http://s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cbegin%7Bbmatrix%7D+1+%26+2+%5C%5C+2+%26+3+%5Cend%7Bbmatrix%7D%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+x+%5C%5C+y+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+%3D%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+2+%5C%5C+3+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=2 "\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}\left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{matrix} \right]")
Ex 4.6 Class 12 Maths Question 2.
2x – y = 5
x + y = 4
Solution:
2x – y = 5,
x + y = 4
=>
=> AX = B
Now |A| =
= 2 + 1
= 3 ≠ 0.
Hence, equations are consistent.
![\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 5 \\ 4 \end{matrix} \right]](http://s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cbegin%7Bbmatrix%7D+2+%26+-1+%5C%5C+1+%26+1+%5Cend%7Bbmatrix%7D%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+x+%5C%5C+y+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+%3D%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+5+%5C%5C+4+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=2 "\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 5 \\ 4 \end{matrix} \right]")
Ex 4.6 Class 12 Maths Question 3.
x + 3y = 5,
2x + 6y = 8
Solution:
x + 3y = 5,
2x + 6y = 8
=>
=> AX = B
Now |A| =
= 6 – 6
= 0.
Hence, equations are consistent with no solution
![\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 6 \end{bmatrix}\left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 5 \\ 8 \end{matrix} \right]](http://s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cbegin%7Bbmatrix%7D+1+%26+3+%5C%5C+2+%26+6+%5Cend%7Bbmatrix%7D%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+x+%5C%5C+y+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+%3D%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+5+%5C%5C+8+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=2 "\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 6 \end{bmatrix}\left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 5 \\ 8 \end{matrix} \right]")
Ex 4.6 Class 12 Maths Question 4.

=> AX = B
![\left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & -5 & 0 \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 \\ -1 \\ 3 \end{matrix} \right]](http://s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+3+%26+-1+%26+-2+%5C%5C+0+%26+2+%26+-1+%5C%5C+3+%26+-5+%26+0+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+x+%5C%5C+y+%5C%5C+z+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+%3D%5Cleft%5B+%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D+2+%5C%5C+-1+%5C%5C+3+%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D+%5Cright%5D+&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=2 "\left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & -5 & 0 \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 \\ -1 \\ 3 \end{matrix} \right]")
Ex 4.6 Class 12 Maths Question 6.
5x – y + 4z = 5
2x + 3y + 5z = 2
5x – 2y + 6z = -1
Solution:
Given
5x – y + 4z = 5
2x + 3y + 5z = 2
5x – 2y + 6z = -1
= 5(18 + 10)+1(12 – 25)+4(-4-15)
= 140-13-76
= 51 ≠ 0
Hence equations are consistent with a unique
solution.
