   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Two ordered pairs are equal only if their corresponding coordinates are equal; equate the first coordinates and solve for $x$.

   Two ordered pairs $(a,b) = (c,d)$ are equal if and only if $a = c$ and $b = d$. Here $\left(\dfrac{x}{3}+1,\ y-\dfrac{2}{3}\right) = \left(\dfrac{5}{3},\ \dfrac{1}{3}\right)$, so equating first coordinates:

   $\dfrac{x}{3} + 1 = \dfrac{5}{3}$ …

   Q.Find $a$ and $b$ when $(a - 2b, 13) = (7, 2a - 3b)$.

   (a) $a = 4, b = 1$

   (b) $a = 5, b = 2$

   (c) $a = 5, b = -1$

   (d) $a = 6, b = 7$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Two ordered pairs are equal only when their corresponding entries are equal. Setting up and solving the resulting linear system gives $a=5$, $b=-1$.

   Since $(a-2b, 13) = (7, 2a-3b)$, equate the corresponding components:

   $a - 2b = 7 \quad \text{...(1)}$

   $13 = 2a - 3b \quad \text{...(2)}$

   From (1): $a = 7 + 2b$.

   Substitute into (2): …

   Equate the first components and the second components of the two ordered pairs separately, then solve each simple equation.

   Two ordered pairs are equal iff their first components are equal AND their second components are equal. We are given:

   $\left(\frac{x}{3}+1,\ y-\frac{2}{3}\right) = \left(\frac{5}{3}, \frac{1}{3}\right)$

   Q.Assertion (A): If (4x + 3, y) = (3x + 5, -2), then x = 2 and y = -2 Reason (R): If A = {-1, 3, 4}, then A × A is {(-1, -1), (-1, 3), (-1, 4), (3, -1), (4, -1), (3, 4)}

   (a) (A) is true, (R) is true; (R) is correct explanation of (A)

   (b) (A) is true, (R) is true; (R) is not a correct explanation of (A)

   (c) (A) is true, (R) is false

   (d) (A) is false, (R) is true

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   (A) is verified true by solving the equal-ordered-pair equations; (R) is false because it lists only 6 of the 9 elements of $A\times A$.

   Checking Assertion (A): Two ordered pairs are equal iff corresponding components are equal.

   $(4x+3,\,y) = (3x+5,\,-2)$ gives:

   $4x+3 = 3x+5 \Rightarrow x=2$, and $y=-2$.

   So $x=2,y=-2$ — Assertion (A) is true.

   Checking Reason (R): For $A=\{-1,3,4\}$, $A\times A$ should contain all $3\times3=9$ ordered pairs:

   $(-1,-1),(-1,3),(-1,4),(3,-1),(3,3),(3,4),(4,-1),(4,3),(4,4)$. …

    Two complex numbers are equal only if their real parts match and their imaginary parts match.
