    Check weather the two paths will cross each other or not.

    A) yes

    B) no

    C) do not say

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, equation of paths are                            
    \[x-3y=2\]                       ...(1)
    and       \[-2x+6y=5\]                  ...(2)
    Here,   \[{{a}_{1}}=1,\,\,{{b}_{1}}=-3,\,\,{{c}_{1}}=-2\]
    and       \[{{a}_{2}}=-2,\,\,{{b}_{2}}=6,\,\,{{c}_{2}}=5\]
    \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{-2},\]  \[\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{-3}{6}=-\frac{1}{2}\] and \[\frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}=\frac{-2}{-5}=\frac{2}{5}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\]
    So, the paths represented by the equations are parallel i.e., do not intersect each other.                              
    So, option [b] is correct.
