  • Question
  • The graph of ax + by = c, dx + ey = f will be
    I. parallel, if the system has no solution.
    II. coincident, if the system has finite number of solutions.
    III. intersecting. if the system has only one solution.
    Which of the above statements are correct?


  • Options
  • A. Only I and II
  • B. Only II and II
  • C. Only I and III
  • D. I, II and III

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I and III 

    Explanation

    ax + by = c and dx + ey = f
    a1/a2 = a/d, b1/b2 = b/e, c1/c2 = c/f
    ? b1/b2 ? c1/c2
    ? b/e ? c/f
    it represent a pair of parallel lines.
    ? a1/a2 ? b1/b2
    ? a/d ? b/e
    Therefore, system has unique solutions and represents a pair of intersecting lines.
