The given equations are :
2x + 3y –1 = 0 and (p + q)x + (2p – q)y – 21 = 0
Here, a1 = 2, b1 = 3, c1 = –1 and a2 = p + q, b2 = 2p – q, c2 = – 21
For infinite solutions,
\(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\) = \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}\)= \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{2}{p+q}\) = \(\frac{3}{2p-q}\) = \(\frac{-1}{-21}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{2}{p+q}\) = \(\frac{1}{21}\) and \(\frac{3}{2p-q}\) = \(\frac{1}{21}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) p + q = 42
Adding (1) and (2), we get
3p = 105 \(\Rightarrow\) p = 35
Putting p = 35 in (1), we get
35 + q = 42 \(\Rightarrow\) q = 42 - 35 = 7
\(\therefore\) p = 35, q = 7
