Given, equations :

2x3y=0\sqrt{2}x - \sqrt{3}y = 0 ……..(1)

5x+2y=0\sqrt{5}x + \sqrt{2}y = 0 ……..(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2\sqrt{2}, we get :

2(2x3y)=2×02x6y=0 …..(1)\Rightarrow \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}x - \sqrt{3}y) = \sqrt{2} \times 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x - \sqrt{6}y = 0 \text{ …..(1)}

Multiplying equation (2) by 3\sqrt{3}, we get :

3(5x+2y)=3×015x+6y=0 …..(2)\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}(\sqrt{5}x + \sqrt{2}y) = \sqrt{3} \times 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{15}x + \sqrt{6}y = 0 \text{ …..(2)}

Adding equations (1) and (2), we get :

2x6y+15x+6y=02x+15x=0x(2+15)=0x=0.\Rightarrow 2x - \sqrt{6}y + \sqrt{15}x + \sqrt{6}y = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x + \sqrt{15}x = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x(2 + \sqrt{15}) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 0.

Substituting value of x in equation (1), we get :

2×06y=006y=06y=0y=0.\Rightarrow 2 \times 0 - \sqrt{6}y = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 0 - \sqrt{6}y = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{6}y = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = 0.

Hence, x = 0 and y = 0.
