Q.

Assertion (A): The system of linear equations 2x + 3y = 7 and kx + 9/2 y = 12 have no solution, if k = 3.
Reason (R): The system of linear equations ax + by + c = 0 and ax + by + c = 0 have no solution, if a/a = b/b.

1 Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.  
2 Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.  
3 A is true, but R is false.  
4 A is false, but R is true.  

Ans.

(3)

Rationale: The system of linear equations in Reason (R) have no solution, if
 a/a = b/b  c/c..
So, Reason (R) is false. The system of linear equations in Assertion (A) will have no solution if
    k/2 = 9/3 ≠ 12/7  or  k/2 = 3/2 ≠ 12/7  or  k = 3.
