The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the conditions under which a pair of linear equations has a unique solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Ratios**: We are given the condition \((a_1)/(a_2) = (b_1)/(b_2) \neq (c_1)/(c_2)\). This means that the ratios of the coefficients of \(x\) and \(y\) in both equations are equal, but the ratio of the constants is different. 2. **Identifying the Type of Lines**: - If \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2}\), it implies that the two lines represented by the equations are either parallel or coincident. - If \(\frac{c_1}{c_2} \neq \frac{a_1}{a_2}\) (or \(\frac{b_1}{b_2}\)), it indicates that the lines are not coincident. 3. **Conclusion About the Lines**: Since the ratios of the coefficients of \(x\) and \(y\) are equal, but the ratio of the constants is not equal, the two lines must be parallel. 4. **Determining the Number of Solutions**: Parallel lines do not intersect, which means there is no solution to the system of equations. ### Final Answer: The pair of linear equations has **no solution**. ---
