Solution

The correct option is C: a5b=0
2x3y=7 and (a+b)x(a+b3)y=4a+b represent coincident lines then,

Condition for coincident lines, a1a2=b1b2=c1c2, we can also write like this:

a2a1=b2b1=c2c1

Here, a1=2,b1=3,c1=7 & a2=(a+b),b2=(a+b3),c2=(4a+b)

a+b2=(a+b3)3=(4a+b)7

a+b2=4a+b7

7(a+b)=2(4a+b)

7a+7b=8a+2b

a5b=0

So, the correct option is
C: a5b=0
