Answer» Correct option is (C) x – 2y = 3, 3x – 2y = 1 Condition for unique solution is \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\neq\frac{b_1}{b_2}\) ____________(1) We have to check condition (1) for all the given options. (A) \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac36=\frac12,\) \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac12\) and \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-2}{-3}=\frac23\) \(\because\) \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) Therefore, the system has no solution. (B) \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac26=\frac13,\) \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{-5}{-15}=\frac13\) and \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-3}{-9}=\frac13\) \(\therefore\) \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) Therefore, this system has infinite many solutions. (C) \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac13,\) \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{-2}{-2}=1\) \(\because\) \(\frac13\neq1\) \(\therefore\) \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\neq\frac{b_1}{b_2}\) Therefore, this system has unique solution. (D) \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac26=\frac13,\) \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{5}{15}=\frac13\) \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{-7}{-3}=\frac73\) \(\because\) \(\frac13\neq\frac73\) \(\therefore\) \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) Therefore, this system has no solution. Correct option is C) x – 2y = 3, 3x – 2y = 1 |
