    Question

    For given pair of equations, how many solutions are

    possible? 5x βˆ’ 2y = 12 and 10x βˆ’ 4y = 24
    B 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C infinite Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For a pair of linear equations a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, infinite solutions are possible when (a1/a2) = (b1/b2) = (c1/c2) In the given pair of equations, a1 = 5, a2 = 10, b1 = βˆ’2, b2 = βˆ’4, c1 = βˆ’12 and c2 = βˆ’24 Since, (5/10) = (βˆ’2/βˆ’4) = (βˆ’12/βˆ’24), therefore, infinite solutions are possible.
