Analyzing the question:
It's an interesting question that can help students understand the concept of "linear independence". The equations above are linear and we have N equations N variables. Once we prove they are independent, we can guarantee a unique solution. To prove they are independent, we must have equations that contain different information. Hence as long as the second equation's left side isn't a multiple of the first equation's left side, the equations are independent.
Statement 1:
Confirmed the ratios are different and we have two independent, and of course linear, equations. This guarantees one unique solution, sufficient.
Statement 2:
With only C = 12 we know nothing on the first equation. We can have 20x + 5y = 12 for the first equation which results in the system simplifying to one equation of 20x + 5y = 12, which is infinitely many solutions. Insufficient.
Finally a note on how to get no solutions in a system, we basically need contradicting equations such as x + 2y = 10 and x + 2y = 0.
Ans: A
