Step-by-Step Solution

To find the condition for the given system of linear equations to have infinitely many solutions, we express the third equation as a linear combination of the first two equations. Let Equation 3=λ(Equation 1)+μ(Equation 2)\text{Equation 3} = \lambda (\text{Equation 1}) + \mu (\text{Equation 2})

Comparing the coefficients of xx and yy, we get the system: λ+2μ=1\lambda + 2\mu = 1 5λ+3μ=65\lambda + 3\mu = 6

Solving these equations simultaneously yields λ=97\lambda = \frac{9}{7} and μ=17\mu = -\frac{1}{7}. Using these values to determine aa and bb, we find: a=6λ+4μ=6(97)+4(17)=507a = 6\lambda + 4\mu = 6\left(\frac{9}{7}\right) + 4\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right) = \frac{50}{7} b=4λ+7μ=4(97)+7(17)=297b = 4\lambda + 7\mu = 4\left(\frac{9}{7}\right) + 7\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right) = \frac{29}{7}

Thus, the point (a,b)=(507,297)(a, b) = \left(\frac{50}{7}, \frac{29}{7}\right) satisfies ab=50297=3a - b = \frac{50 - 29}{7} = 3, which corresponds to the line equation xy=3x - y = 3.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
