Practice question from Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables (Class 10 · CBSE Mathematics), with the correct answer and a step-by-step solution.

easy · MCQ · Q-F6197D

The pair of linear equations x+2y=3x + 2y = 3 and 5x+10y=155x + 10y = 15 has:

  1. A.A unique solution
  2. B.No solution
  3. C.Infinitely many solutionsCorrect answer
  4. D.Exactly two solutions

Solution

Comparing the coefficients: a1a2=15\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{1}{5}, b1b2=210=15\frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}, and c1c2=315=15\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5}. Since a1a2=b1b2=c1c2\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}, the equations are dependent and have infinitely many solutions.
