Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Two linear equations have infinitely many solutions when they represent the same line. This occurs when one equation is a multiple of the other.
For equations and , they have infinitely many solutions when:
(A) and
All ratios are equal. This pair has infinitely many solutions.
(B) and
The ratios are not equal. This pair has a unique solution only.
(C) and
All ratios are equal. This pair has infinitely many solutions.
(D) and
All ratios are equal. This pair has infinitely many solutions.
The pairs with infinitely many solutions are (A), (C), and (D).
Therefore, the correct answer is: (A), (C), and (D) only.
