  • a)
    One solution
  • b)
    Infinitely many solutions
  • c)
    No solutions

    Two solutions
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
We have a1, a2 the coefficients of x2,b1 and b2 coefficients of x and c1 and c2 the constant terms.So,a1a2=b1b2c1c2which is a case of parallel lines which which never meet. So there are no solutions obtainable for these equations.

 One equation of a pair of dependent linear equations is -5x + 7y = 2, the second equation can be :
  • a)
    -10x + 14y + 4 = 0
  • b)
    -10x – 14x + 4 =
  • c)
    10x – 14y = -4
  • d)
    10x + 14y + 4 =0
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Vikram Kapoor answered
If a  system of two linear equation is consistent system and has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent . When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line.So we have which is satisfied by 10x – 14y = -4 only.

 For what value of ‘K’ will the system of equations: 3x + y = 1, (2K – 1) x + (K – 1) y = 2K + 1 have no solution
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    1
  • d)
    -2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

 is a case of parallel lines which never meet. So there are no solutions obtainable for these equations. So equations are inconsistent
3x + y = 1, (2K – 1) x + (K – 1) y = 2K + 1
b1=1,b2=k-1,c1=-1,c2=-2k-1

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

The pair of equations y = 0 and y = -7 has :

  • A:

    no solution

  • B:

    infinitely many solutions

  • C:

    one solution

  • D:

    two solutions

The answer is a.

Raghav Bansal answered
y=0 is x-axis… since every point has y=0. y=-7 is a line parallel to x-axis passing through x=0,y=-7. So the two lines are parallel to each other and are inconsistent which means that it has no solutions because it will never meet.

The number of solutions of the pair of linear equations x + 2y – 8 = 0 and 2x + 4y = 16 are:
  • a)
    None
  • b)
    Infinitely many
  • c)
    0
  • d)
    1
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
We have the equations x + 2y – 8 = 0 and 2x + 4y = 16 Where 
Here  which is the case of coincident lines . So there are infinitely many solutions.

A system of simultaneous linear equations has infinitely many solutions if two lines:
  • a)
    are coincident
  • b)
    intersect at two points
  • c)
    are parallel
  • d)
    intersect at one point
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

Simultaneous linear equations are equations with two or more variables that are to be solved at the same time. These equations can be represented by lines, and the solutions represent the points where these lines intersect.

When two lines intersect at one point, there is only one solution to the system of equations. When two lines are parallel, there is no solution to the system of equations. However, when two lines are coincident, they overlap each other and have infinite solutions.

Example:

Consider the system of equations:

2x + 3y = 6
4x + 6y = 12

We can solve this system of equations by using elimination or substitution method.

Using the elimination method, we can multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation from it to eliminate x, which gives:

4x + 6y = 12
- (4x + 6y = 12)
-----------------
0x + 0y = 0

This equation is always true, which means that the two equations are equivalent. Therefore, they represent the same line, and there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations.

Using the substitution method, we can solve for y in the first equation and substitute it into the second equation, which gives:

y = (6 - 2x)/3
4x + 6((6 - 2x)/3) = 12

Simplifying the second equation, we get:

4x + 4x = 12

Which gives:

x = 3/2

Substituting this value of x into the first equation, we get:

2(3/2) + 3y = 6

Simplifying, we get:

3y = 3

Which gives:

y = 1

Therefore, the solution to this system of equations is (3/2, 1). However, this is just one solution, and there are infinitely many solutions to this system of equations since the two lines are coincident.

Which of the following pairs of equations represent inconsistent system?​
  • a)
    3x – y = -8 3x – y = 24
  • b)
    5x – y = 10 10x – 2y = 20
  • c)
    3x – 2y = 8 2x + 3y = 1
  • d)
    lx – y = m x + my = l
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Sharma answered
is a case of parallel lines which never meet. So there are no solutions obtainable for these equations. So equations are inconsistent.
3x – y = -8 ,3x – y = 24
3x – y +8=0 ,3x – y -24=0

So, Therefore the equations are inconsistent.

Which of the following equation is not a linear equation?​
  • a)
    2a-b =1
  • b)
    2a+b =1
  • c)
    a+b =1
  • d)
    √a+b =1
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
Linear equation is an equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph. Linear equations have degree 1 only which means that power of the variables is 1 only. Since does not have degree 1 its not a linear equation.

If the pair of equation has no solution, then the pair of equation is :
  • a)
    inconsistent
  • b)
    coincident
  • c)
    consistent
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vikas Kumar answered
If two lines are parallel then, they have no solution pair of linear equations is inconsistent;
If two lines are coincident then, they have infinite solution and pair of linear equations is consistent;
If two lines are intersecting then, they have unique solution and pair of linear equations is consistent.
