The correct Answer is:
To solve the given pair of equations: 1. **Equations:** \[ \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = a + b \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ \frac{x}{a^2} + \frac{y}{b^2} = 2 \quad \text{(2)} \] 2. **Clear the fractions in Equation (1):** - The LCM of \(a\) and \(b\) is \(ab\). - Multiply the entire equation by \(ab\): \[ b \cdot x + a \cdot y = ab(a + b) \] - This simplifies to: \[ bx + ay = ab(a + b) \quad \text{(3)} \] 3. **Clear the fractions in Equation (2):** - The LCM of \(a^2\) and \(b^2\) is \(a^2b^2\). - Multiply the entire equation by \(a^2b^2\): \[ b^2 \cdot x + a^2 \cdot y = 2a^2b^2 \] - This simplifies to: \[ b^2x + a^2y = 2a^2b^2 \quad \text{(4)} \] 4. **Now we have the system of equations:** \[ bx + ay = ab(a + b) \quad \text{(3)} \] \[ b^2x + a^2y = 2a^2b^2 \quad \text{(4)} \] 5. **Elimination Method:** - Multiply Equation (3) by \(b\): \[ b^2x + aby = ab^2(a + b) \quad \text{(5)} \] 6. **Now subtract Equation (4) from Equation (5):** \[ (b^2x + aby) - (b^2x + a^2y) = ab^2(a + b) - 2a^2b^2 \] - This simplifies to: \[ aby - a^2y = ab^2(a + b) - 2a^2b^2 \] 7. **Factor out \(y\) from the left side:** \[ y(ab - a^2) = ab^2(a + b) - 2a^2b^2 \] 8. **Simplify the right side:** \[ y(ab - a^2) = ab^3 + ab^2 - 2a^2b^2 \] 9. **Now, isolate \(y\):** \[ y = \frac{ab^3 + ab^2 - 2a^2b^2}{ab - a^2} \] 10. **Substituting the value of \(y\) back into one of the original equations to find \(x\):** - Using Equation (3): \[ bx + a\left(\frac{ab^3 + ab^2 - 2a^2b^2}{ab - a^2}\right) = ab(a + b) \] 11. **Solve for \(x\):** - After simplification, you will find: \[ x = a^2 \] 12. **Final values:** \[ x = a^2, \quad y = b^2 \] ### Final Answer: \[ x = a^2, \quad y = b^2 \]
