Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Reason is correct.
Given system of equations
2x+3y+4z=5 ....(1)
x+y+z=1 ....(2)
x+2y+3z=4 ....(3)
Adding (2) and (3), we get
2x+3y+4z=5
For eqn (2) and (3), we have
a1a2=1, b1b2=12
a1a2b1b2
Hence, given system of equation has infinitely many solutions. Reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
