a unique solution: 2x + 3y – 5 = 0, kx – 6y – 8 = 0
(a) k ≠ – 4 (b) k ≠ 6 (c) k ≠ 2 (d) k ≠ 1
3. If (3)x y 81 and (81)x y 3 , then the values of x and y are:
17 9 17 11 17 15 11 15
(a) ,8 (𝑏) , (𝑐) , (d) ,
8 8 8 8 8 8 8
4. If a pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions, then
the lines representing them will be
(a) parallel (b) intersecting or coincident
(c) always intersecting (d) always coincident
5. The pair of linear equations x = 0 and x = – 4 has
(a) a unique solution (b) no solution
(c) infinitely many solutions (d) only solution (0, 0)
6. The value of k, for which the pair of linear equations kx + y = k2
and x + ky = 1 have infinitely many solutions is
(a) ±1 (b) 1 (c) –1 (d) 2
7. The value of k for which the lines (k + 1) x + 3ky + 15 = 0 and
5x + ky + 5 = 0 are coincident is
(a) 14 (b) 2 (c) –14 (d) –2
8. If 2x – 3y = 7 and (a + b)x – (a + b – 3)y = 4a + b represent
coincident lines, then a and b satisfy the equation
(a) a + 5b = 0 (b) 5a + b = 0
(c) a – 5b = 0 (d) 5a – b = 0
In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by
a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the
correct explanation of assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
9. Assertion : 3x - 4y = 7 and 6x - 8y = k have infinite number of
solution if k = 14.
Reason : a1x b1 y c1 0 and a2 x b2 y c2 0 have a unique
solution if a1 b1
a2 b2
10. Assertion : If the pair of lines are coincident, then we say that
pair of lines is consistent and it has a unique solution.
Reason : If the pair of lines are parallel, then the pair has no
solution and is called inconsistent pair of equations.
