    Equation of line \[{{L}_{1}}:{{a}_{1}}x+{{b}_{1}}y+{{c}_{1}}=0,\]
    Equation of line \[{{L}_{2}}:{{a}_{2}}x+{{b}_{2}}y+{{c}_{2}}=0,\]
    Equation of line \[{{L}_{3}}:({{a}_{1}}x+{{b}_{1}}y+{{c}_{1}})+({{a}_{2}}x+{{b}_{2}}y+{{c}_{2}})=0\]
    if \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}},\] then line \[{{L}_{3}}\]is:

    A) parallel to line \[{{L}_{1}}\]

    B) parallel to line \[{{L}_{2}}\]

    C) is coincident with \[{{L}_{2}}\]or \[{{L}_{1}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Lines \[{{L}_{1}}\] and \[{{L}_{2}}\] are coincident lines.
    Line \[{{L}_{3}}:({{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}})x+({{b}_{1}}+{{b}_{2}})y+{{c}_{1}}+{{c}_{2}}=0\]
                \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}+1=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}+1=\frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}+1\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}+{{b}_{2}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{{{c}_{1}}+{{c}_{2}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\]
    \[\therefore \] \[{{L}_{3}}\] and \[{{L}_{2}}\] are coincident.
    \[\therefore \] Lines \[{{L}_{1}},{{L}_{2}}\]  and \[{{L}_{3}}\] are coincident.
