Solution
The given equations are
103a + 51b = 617 ....(i)
97a + 49b = 583 ....(ii)
Subtracting eqn. (ii) from (i). we get
6a + 2b = 34
⇒ 3a + b = 17 ....[Dividing throughtout by 2] ....(iii)
200a + 100b = 1200
⇒ 2a + b = 12 ...[Dividing throughtout by 100] ....(iv)
Subtracting eqn. (iv) from eqn. (iii), we get
a = 5
Substituting the value of an in eqn. (iii), we get
3(5) + b = 17
⇒ 15 + b = 17
⇒ b = 2
Thus, the solution set is (5,2).
