MCQ
If a pair of equations is consistent, then the lines representing them are
  • A
    parallel
  • B
    always coincident
  • intersecting or coincident
  • D
    always intersecting

Answer

Correct option: C.
intersecting or coincident
(C) intersecting or coincident
If a pair of equations $a_1 x+b_1 y+c_1=0$ and $a_2 x+b_2 y+c_2=0$ is consistent then either it has unique solution on inifinitely many solutions. Consequently, lines representing the two equations either intesect or coincide.
