Answer
We can use cross-multiplication method to solve a pair of linear equations.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Given, equations can be written as :
= 0 ……………..(1)
- 5 = 0…………….(2)
By cross multiplication method,

So, the solution are x = , y =
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
∴ Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
