Solution

The correct option is A
x = 2; 2x - 7y - 5 = 0

For a pair of lines to be consistent, either $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} o r \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} = \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$ .
In x = 2; 2x - 7y - 5 = 0, $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} \neq \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} .$ In all the other options, $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}} = \frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}} \neq \frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}} .$
Therefore, equations given in option A are consistent.

The correct option is A x = 2; 2x - 7y - 5 = 0 For a pair of lines to be consistent, either a1a2≠b1b2 or a1a2=b1b2=c1c2. In x = 2; 2x - 7y - 5 = 0, a1a2≠b1b2. In all the other options, a1a2=b1b2≠c1c2. Therefore, equations given in option A are consistent.
