The equations 2 x+3 y+4=0 ; 3 x+4 y+6=0 and 4 x+5 y+8=0 are

The equations 2x+3y+4=0;3x+4y+6=02 x+3 y+4=0 ; 3 x+4 y+6=0 and 4x+5y+8=04 x+5 y+8=0 are

Options

  1. Aconsistent with unique solution
  2. Binconsistent
  3. Cconsistent with infinitely many solutions
  4. DNone of the above

Correct answer

A. consistent with unique solution

Step-by-step solution

Consider first two equations: 2x+3y=−42 x+3 y=-4 \quad and 3x+4y=−6\quad 3 x+4 y=-6 We have \Delta=\left|2334\begin{array}{ll}2 & 3 \\ 3 & 4\end{array}\right|=-1 \neq 0 \Delta_{\mathrm{x}}=\left|−43−64\begin{array}{ll} -4 & 3 \\ -6 & 4 \end{array}\right|=2 \quad\text{ and } \quad \Delta_{\mathrm{y}}=\left|2−43−6\begin{array}{cc}2 & -4 \\ 3 & -6 \end{array}\right|=0 ∴x=−2\therefore x=-2 and y=0y=0 Now this solution satisfies the third, so the equations are consistent with unique solution.
