If a pair of linear equations is consistent, then the lines will be(A)

1.	If a pair of linear equations is consistent, then the lines will be(A) parallel (B) always coincident(C) intersecting or coincident (D) always intersecting
Answer» (C) intersecting or coincident Explanation: Condition for a pair of linear equations to be consistent are: Intersecting lines having unique solution, a₁/a₂≠ b₁/b₂ Coincident or dependent a₁/a₂= b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂

If a pair of linear equations is consistent, then the lines will be(A) parallel (B) always coincident(C) intersecting or coincident (D) always intersecting

Answer»

(C) intersecting or coincident

Explanation:

Condition for a pair of linear equations to be consistent are:

Intersecting lines having unique solution,

a₁/a₂≠ b₁/b₂

Coincident or dependent

a₁/a₂= b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂
