MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
If a pair of linear equations is consistent, then the lines will be:
  • A
    Parallel.
  • B
    Always coincident.
  • Intersecting or coincident.
  • D
    Always intersecting.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Intersecting or coincident.
Condition for a consistent pair of linear equations.
$\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_1}\neq\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}$ [intersecting lines having unique solution]
and $\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}$ [coincident or dependent]
