Q4 of 40 Page 1

For which value(s) of p, will the lines represented by the following pair of linear equations be parallel

3x – y – 5 = 0


6x – 2y – p = 0


Two lines a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 will be parallel if



Here, in given equations,





∴ p ≠ 10


Therefore, p can take any real value other than 10.


Hence, option a is the correct answer.
