Given equation is
(a+b)x+(a−2b)y=a⇒a(x+y−1)+b(x−2y)=a⇒a(x+y−1)+b(x−2y)=0⇒(x+y−1)+ba(x−2y)=0 [∵a≠0]
Which represents a family of line which passes through the point of intersection of the lines x+y−1=0 and x−2y=0
Solving the above two equations we get,
x=23 and y=13
Therefore, lines are concurrent at (23,13)
Clearly statement 2 is true and is the correct explanation of statement 1.
Hence option (A) is the correct option.
