Solution

The correct option is A

((b1c2-b2c1)/(a1b2-a2b1), (c1a2-c2a1)/(a1b2-a2b1))


Let us use elimination method to solve the given pair of equations

Given two equations are a1x + b1y + c1 = 0

and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0

Multiply first equation by b2 and second equation by b1, to get

b2a1x + b2b1y + b2c1 = 0

b1a2x + b1b2y + b1c2 = 0

Subtracting these two equations

(b2a1b1a2) x + (b2b1b1b2) y + (b2c1b1c2) = 0

i.e., (b2a1b1a2) x = b1c2b2c1

Therefore x= (b1c2b2c1)(a1b2a2b1),

Substitute this x in any of the given equation we get

y= (c1a2c2a1)(a1b2a2b1)
