Q27 / 56 · KVPY 2018 (SA) · Mathematics

Consider the following two statements
I. Any pair of consistent liner equations in two variables must have a unique solution.
II. There do not exist two consecutive integers, the sum of whose squares is 365 .

Then

  • A
    both I and II are true
     
  • Correct answer
    B
    both I and II are false
     
  • C
    I is true and II is false
     
  • D
    I is false and II is true

Solution

(I) Any pair of consistent linear equation in two variables must have a unique solution. This statement is false. Consistent equation may have unique or infinite solution.

(II) There do not exists two consecutive integers the sum of whose square is 365 . This statement is also false

132+142=365

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
