    Find the values of\[\alpha \]and\[\beta \]for which the following system of Linear equations has infinite number of solutions:\[2x+3y=7\]and\[2\alpha x+(\alpha +\beta )y=28\]

    A) \[\alpha =3,\,\,\beta =8\]           

    B) \[\alpha =4,\,\,\beta =8\]  

    C) \[\alpha =8,\,\,\beta =4\]

    D)        \[\alpha =1,\,\,\beta =2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The given system of equation will have infinite number of solutions if\[\frac{a}{2\alpha }=\frac{3}{\alpha +\beta }=\frac{7}{28}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{1}{\alpha }=\frac{3}{\alpha +\beta }=\frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\alpha }=\frac{1}{4}\] and       \[\frac{3}{\alpha +\beta }=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\alpha =4\]and\[\alpha +\beta =12\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\alpha =4\]and\[\beta =8\]
