Detailed Solution

The correct answer is option 3.
In the system: a 1 x+ b 1 y+ c 1 =0 a 2 x+ b 2 y+ c 2 =0  
The ratios of coefficients:
x= a 1 a 2 ,y= b 1 b 2 ,z= c 1 c 2  
We get infinite solutions when
a 1 a 1 = b 1 b 1 = c 1 c 1  
Using the equations:
3x5y=20 2x5y20=0....(1) 6x10y=40 6x10y40=0......(2)  
Ratios of coefficients:
a 1 a 2 = 3 6 = 1 2 b `1 b 2 = 5 10 = 1 2 c 1 c 2 = 20 40 = 1 2  
Therefore,
a 1 a 1 = b 1 b 1 = c 1 c 1  
There are infinite many solutions to the equation.
