    Directions: Each of these questions contains two statements: Assertion [A] and Reason [R]. Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, any one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the codes [a], [b], [c] and [d] given below.
    Assertion [A] If the system of equations \[2x+3y=7\] and \[2ax+\left( a+b \right)y=28\]has infinitely many solutions, then\[2a-b=0\].
    Reason [R] The system of equations
    \[3x-5y=9\]and \[6x-10y=8\] has a unique solution.

    A) A is true, R is true; R is a correct explanation for A.

    B) A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation for A.

    C) A is true; R is False.

    D) A is false; R is true.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Assertion : Given system of equations has infinitely many solutions if,
    \[\frac{2}{2a}=\frac{3}{a+b}=\frac{-7}{-28}\]
    \[\frac{1}{a}=\frac{3}{a+b}=\frac{1}{4}\]
    \[3a=a+b\Rightarrow \,\,2a-b=0\]
    Also, clearly a = 4, and \[a+b=12\]
    \[b=8\]
    \[2a-b=8-8=0\]
    For unique solution
    \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\] or
    \[\frac{3}{6}=\frac{-5}{-10}\left[ 3\left( -10 \right)=\left( -5 \right)\left( 6 \right)=-30 \right]\]
    Assertion is true But reason is false.
