What will (a) be for the equations (7x+ay=20) and (14x+10y=47) to have no solution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(a\ne\frac{200}{47}\)

For two linear equations to have no solution, the condition is \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\ne\frac{c_1}{c_2}\). Here, \(\frac{7}{14}=\frac{1}{2}\), whereas \(\frac{20}{47}\ne\frac{1}{2}\). Thus, the required condition is \(\frac{a}{10}\ne\frac{20}{47}\), which gives \(a\ne\frac{200}{47}\). Therefore, option A is correct. In option B, all three ratios become equal, giving infinitely many solutions. Although \(a=5\) is one particular value that produces no solution, it is not the complete condition. Exam tip: first compare the ratios of the coefficients of x and y, and then compare them with the ratio of the constants.
