NURPYE NYAMANYAT
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

3x
4x + 21y = 6

1:

7y

Observe that the y-coefficients are in the ratio 7 : 21 i.e., 1 : 3, which is

same as the ratio of independent terms i.e., 2 : 6 i.e., 1 : 3. Hence the other
variable x = 0 and 7y = 2 or 21y = 6 gives y = 2 / 7
Example

323x
+
969x + 321y = 4845

147y

2:

1615

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.

In solving simultaneous quadratic equations, also we can take the help of the
sutra in the following way:
Example

Solve

for

:
y

x2

5xy

4y2

4x

2y

20

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 )

Now

and

from the Sutra, x = 0 and 4y = 10, i.e.,, 8y = 20 y = 10/4 = 2

Thus x = 0 and y = 2 is the solution.
