  • question_answer
    If the system of equations \[\text{2x}+\text{3y}=\text{6}\] and \[2ax+(a+b)y=24\]has infinitely many solutions, then:

    A) \[a=2b\]

    B) \[b=2a\]

    C) \[a+2b=0\]

    D) \[2a+b=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The given pair of linear equation is
    \[2x+3y-6=0\] and \[2ax+(a+b)y-24=0\]
    Here, \[{{a}_{1}}=2,\,\,{{b}_{1}}=3,\,\,{{c}_{1}}=-6,\,\,{{a}_{2}}=2a,\,{{b}_{2}}=a+b,\,\,{{c}_{2}}=-24\]The given pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions, if \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{2}{2a}=\frac{3}{a+b}=\frac{-6}{-24}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{1}{a}=\frac{3}{a+b}=\frac{1}{4}\,\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{1}{a}=\frac{3}{a+b}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,a+b=3a\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,b=2a\,\]
