MCQ
The equation 3x + 4y = 7 has a unique solution, if x and y are:
  • A
    Real numbers.
  • B
    Natural numbers.
  • C
    Rational numbers.
  • D
    Positive real numbers.

Answer

  1. Natural numbers.
    Solution:
    3x + 4y = 7
    3x = 7 - 4y
    $\text{x} = 7−\frac{4\text{y}}{3}$
    The equation will have a unique solution only if x and y are natural numbers with only one value which is,
    For y = 1.
    $\text{x} = 7−\frac{4.1}{3}$
    $\text{x} = 7−\frac{4}{3}$
    $\text{x} = \frac{3}{3} = 1$
    x = 1
    I.e., x = 1, y = 1 will be unique value for this equation.
