    Question

    Select the option that is true regarding the following labelled Assertion (A) and Reason (R).

    Assertion (A)

    Reason (R)

    The system of equations:
    9x+6y=119x+6y=11​ and
    7x+ky=97x+ky=9​ has
    no solution, if k = 143\frac{14}{3}​.

    System of equations
    ax+by=cax+by=c
    dx+ey=fdx+ey=f
    has no solution, if
    ad=be#cf\frac{a}{d}=\frac{b}{e}\#\frac{c}{f}

    A.

    Both A and R are true and R is a correct explanation of A.

    B.

    Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A.

    C.

    A is false and R is true.

    D.

    A is true and R is false.

    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  ad=becf\frac{a}{d} = \frac{b}{e} \ne \frac{c}{f} \\[5pt]

    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:

    ad=be=>97=6k=>9k=42=>k=429=143So if k=143, the equations become:ad=becf condition does not hold, because:97=6143=1814=97,but11997\frac{a}{d} = \frac{b}{e} \Rightarrow \frac{9}{7} = \frac{6}{k} \Rightarrow 9k = 42 \Rightarrow k = \frac{42}{9} = \frac{14}{3} \\[10pt]\text{So if } \mathbf{k = \frac{14}{3}}, \text{ the equations become:} \\\bullet\quad \frac{a}{d} = \frac{b}{e} \neq \frac{c}{f} \text{ condition \textbf{does not hold}, because:} \\[5pt]\frac{9}{7} = \frac{6}{\frac{14}{3}} = \frac{18}{14} = \frac{9}{7}, \quad \text{but} \quad \frac{11}{9} \ne \frac{9}{7}​​

    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.
