The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the given pair of linear equations has no solution, we will analyze the equations step by step. **Given equations:** 1. \( x = 2y \) 2. \( y = 2x \) **Step 1: Rewrite the equations in standard form.** The standard form of a linear equation is \( Ax + By + C = 0 \). - For the first equation \( x = 2y \): \[ x - 2y = 0 \] This can be written as \( 1x - 2y + 0 = 0 \), where \( A_1 = 1, B_1 = -2, C_1 = 0 \). - For the second equation \( y = 2x \): \[ y - 2x = 0 \] This can be written as \( -2x + 1y + 0 = 0 \), where \( A_2 = -2, B_2 = 1, C_2 = 0 \). **Step 2: Identify the coefficients.** From the standard forms, we have: - \( A_1 = 1, B_1 = -2, C_1 = 0 \) - \( A_2 = -2, B_2 = 1, C_2 = 0 \) **Step 3: Check the condition for no solution.** For a pair of linear equations to have no solution, the following condition must hold: \[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{B_1}{B_2} \neq \frac{C_1}{C_2} \] Calculating \( \frac{A_1}{A_2} \) and \( \frac{B_1}{B_2} \): \[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{1}{-2} = -\frac{1}{2} \] \[ \frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2 \] Now, we compare: - \( -\frac{1}{2} \neq -2 \) (True) Next, we check \( \frac{C_1}{C_2} \): \[ \frac{C_1}{C_2} = \frac{0}{0} \] This is undefined. **Step 4: Conclusion.** Since \( \frac{A_1}{A_2} \neq \frac{B_1}{B_2} \), we conclude that the pair of linear equations does not satisfy the condition for no solution. Therefore, the given pair of equations has a unique solution. **Final Answer:** The given pair of linear equations does not have no solution; instead, it has a unique solution. ---
