    A)
    (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
     \[x=b/a\] Commutativity Positive 1
                   

    B)
    (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
     \[x=-b/a\] Commutativity Negative 2
                   

    C)
    (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
     \[x=b/a\] Transposition Negative 2

    D)
    (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
     \[x=-b/a\] Transposition Positive 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (i) We have, \[ax+b=0\] \[\Rightarrow ax=-b\Rightarrow x=\frac{-b}{a}\] (ii) The shifting of a number from one side of an equation to other is called transposition. (iii) We have, \[ax\text{ }=\text{ }b\] \[\Rightarrow x=\frac{b}{a},\] which is the required solution Given that a and b are positive integers. \[\therefore \] Solution of the equation\[ax=b\]has to be always positive. (iv) Linear equation is of the form \[ax+b=0\]i.e., only one variable with power 1
