6. (c) Infinitely many solutions Explanation: Given,
Explanation: Since, the given lines are parallel,
thus the pair of equations hos no solution and 60
inconsistent.
Hence, option (c) is incorrect.
90 m
7. () Parallel
Explanation: Given pair of linear equations are:
3x-y+9 =0
6x- 2y + 10 = 0 Height of building = 90 m
On comparing the given equations with
ajx+ biy + C1 =0 Distance of the bus from the base of building =BC
