    Find the values of \[p\] and \[q\] for which the following system of equations has Infinite solutions: \[2x+3y=7\]

    A) \[p=2,\,\,q=3\]              

    B) \[p=15,\,\,q=1\]

    C) \[p=15,\,\,q=6\]

    D)        \[p=5,\,\,q=1\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The given system of equations will have infinite number of solutions, if             \[\frac{2}{p+q}=\frac{3}{2p-q}=\frac{7}{21}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{2}{p+q}=\frac{3}{2p-q}=\frac{1}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{2}{p+q}=\frac{1}{3}\] and       \[\frac{3}{2p-q}=\frac{1}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[p+q=6\]and\[2p-q=9\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[p+q+2p-q=6+9\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[3p=15\Rightarrow p=5\] Putting\[p=5\]in\[p+q\] \[=6\]or\[p-q=0\] We get\[q=1\]
