(a) a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0
A linear equation in two variables $\text{x}$ and $y$ is of the form , where $a$ ≠ 0 and $b$ ≠ 0.

#### Page No 164:

Since, (2, 0) is a solution of the linear equation 2x + 3y = k.

Substituting the values x = 2 and y = 0 in the equation 2x + 3y = k, we get

Hence, the correct option is (d).

#### Page No 164:

(c) (x, 0),
Any point on the $\text{x}$-axis is of the form $\left(\text{x,0)}$, where $\text{x}$ ≠ 0.

#### Page No 164:

(b) (0, y),
Any point on the $y$-axis is of the form $\left(0,y\right)$, where $y$ ≠ 0.

#### Page No 164:

Substituting the values x = 5, y = 2 in

(a) x + 2y = 7, we get

(b) 5x + 2y = 7, we get

(c) x + y = 7, we get

(d) 5x + y = 7, we get

Hence, the correct option is (c).
