Justification:
The given equations are 3x - 4y = 5 and 12x - 6y = 20.
So, (12x - 16y = 20) = { 4(3x - 4y) = 4(5)} = 3x - 4y = 5.
So, The given equations are 3x - 4y = 5 and 3x - 4y = 5.
Thus, there is one equation in two variables.
So, the given equations have an infinite number of solutions.
Hence, the answer is (d).
