System of linear equations 2x + 4y +1 = 0 and 4x + 8y + 2 = 0 has/ have :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Compare the ratios: 4/2=8/4=2/1=24/2 = 8/4 = 2/1 = 2. Since a1/a2=b1/b2=c1/c2a_1/a_2 = b_1/b_2 = c_1/c_2, the second equation is just twice the first, so both represent the same line and the system has infinitely many solutions.
