alleryIf the two lines of a pair of linear equations are parallel, the pair has
Aa unique solution
Bno solution
Cinfinitely many solutions
Done solution
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. no solution
1. Parallel lines never meet, so there is no common point.
2. Hence the pair has **no solution** and is called inconsistent.
3. Their coefficients satisfy a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂.
