ĀNURŨPYE ŚŨNYAMANYAT
The Sutra Anurupye Sunyamanyat says : 'If one is in ratio, the other one is
zero'. We use this Sutra in solving a special type of simultaneous simple equations in which the coefficients of 'one' variable are in the same ratio to each other as the independent terms are to each other. In such a context the Sutra says the 'other' variable is zero from which we get two simple equations in the first variable (already considered) and of course give the same value for the variable. Example 1: 3x + 7y = 2 4x + 21y = 6 Observe that the y-coefficients are in the ratio Example 2: 323x + 147y = 1615 969x + 321y = 4845 The very appearance of the problem is frightening. But just an observation and anurupye sunyamanyat give the solution x = 5, because coefficient of x ratio is 323 : 969 = 1 : 3 and constant terms ratio is 1615 : 4845 = 1 : 3. y = 0 and 323 x = 1615 or 969 x = 4845 gives x = 5. 1. 12x + 78y = 12 2. 3x + 7y = 24 16x + 96y = 16 12x + 5y = 96 3. 4x – 6y = 24 4. ax + by = bm 7x – 9y = 36 cx + dy = dm Example 3 : Solve for x and y x + 4y = 10 x2 + 5xy + 4y2 + 4x - 2y = 20 x2 + 5xy + 4y2 + 4x - 2y = 20 can be written as ( x + y ) ( x + 4y ) + 4x – 2y = 20 10 ( x + y ) + 4x – 2y = 20 ( Since x + 4y = 10 ) 10x + 10y + 4x – 2y = 20 14x + 8y = 20 Now x + 4y = 10 14x + 8y = 20 and 4 : 8 :: 10 : 20 from the Sutra, x = 0 and 4y = 10, i.e.,, 8y = 20 y = 10/4 = 2½ Thus x = 0 and y = 2½ is the solution. |
