View full question & answer→The system of linear equations has no solution if $\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}\neq\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_2}$
2x + 4y = 3 and 6x + 12y = 6
Here, $\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{\text{b}_1}{\text{b}_2}=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{\text{c}_1}{\text{c}_1}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore\ \frac{2}{6}=\frac{4}{12}\neq\frac{3}{6}$
So, the given system of linear equations has no solution.
