Correct option is A
Given:
Assertion (A):
The system of equations
9x + 6y = 11 and
7x + ky = 9
has no solution if k = 14/3.
Reason (R):
A system of linear equations:
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f
has no solution if da=eb=fc
Solution:
Analysis:
Compare both equations to general form:
Equation 1: 9x + 6y = 11 → a = 9, b = 6, c = 11
Equation 2: 7x + ky = 9 → d = 7, e = k, f = 9
Let’s apply the condition:
da=eb=>79=k6=>9k=42=>k=942=314So if k=314, the equations become:∙da=eb=fc condition does not hold, because:79=3146=1418=79,but911=79
So, the lines are parallel but not coincident, hence no solution — this confirms the assertion.
Conclusion:
- Assertion is True (No solution when k=14/3)
- Reason is True (Correct condition for inconsistency)
- Reason correctly explains Assertion
Final Answer: (1) Both A and R are true and R is a correct explanation of A.
