Question

Check each of the given systems of equations to see if it has a unique solution, infinitely solutions or no solution.
x + 2y = 6
2x + 4y = 12 solutions of the system

  1. Unique solution 
  2. Infinite solutions
  3. No solution 
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Check for the relation
fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction equals space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space c o i n c i d e n t space

i f space comma space fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction equals space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space p a r a l l e l space
e l s e space i f space comma space fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space i n t e r s e c t i n g space

The correct answer is: Infinite solutions


    Given lines are 
    x + 2y = 6
    2x + 4y = 12

    Check for their solution 

    use relation 

    fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction equals space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space c o i n c i d e n t space

i f space comma space fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction equals space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space p a r a l l e l space
e l s e space i f space comma space fraction numerator A 1 over denominator A 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space fraction numerator B 1 over denominator B 2 end fraction space n o t space e q u a l space fraction numerator C 1 over denominator C 2 end fraction space comma space space t h e n space i t space i s space i n t e r s e c t i n g space

    Step 1 :

    Checking relation 

    1 half space equals 2 over 4 space equals space 6 over 12

    step 2 :

    so , it satisfies the condition of  coincident lines  which is 1st condition 

    SO , GIVEN lines have infinity  solution because they are same
