The equation 2x + 5y = 7 has a unique solution, if x, y are:a)Natural ...
Explanation:
Natural Numbers:
Natural numbers are the counting numbers starting from 1, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. In this case, if we substitute natural numbers for x and y in the equation 2x + 5y = 7, we will find that there are no natural numbers that satisfy the equation. Therefore, the equation does not have a unique solution if x and y are natural numbers.
Positive Real Numbers:
Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers. Positive real numbers are the set of real numbers greater than zero. If we substitute positive real numbers for x and y in the equation 2x + 5y = 7, we will find that there are infinitely many solutions that satisfy the equation. Therefore, the equation does not have a unique solution if x and y are positive real numbers.
Real Numbers:
Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers. If we substitute real numbers for x and y in the equation 2x + 5y = 7, we will find that there are infinitely many solutions that satisfy the equation. Therefore, the equation does not have a unique solution if x and y are real numbers.
Rational Numbers:
Rational numbers include all numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers. If we substitute rational numbers for x and y in the equation 2x + 5y = 7, we will find that there are infinitely many solutions that satisfy the equation. Therefore, the equation does not have a unique solution if x and y are rational numbers.
Natural Numbers:
Natural numbers are the counting numbers starting from 1, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. In this case, if we substitute natural numbers for x and y in the equation 2x + 5y = 7, we will find that there are no natural numbers that satisfy the equation. Therefore, the equation does not have a unique solution if x and y are natural numbers.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - Natural Numbers.
