Answer:

The given equation is

ax b= 0,

As we see that, it is a linear equation in one variable containing two constant.

So , a≠ 0 [then equation has no meaning.If a=0 , then [tex]0 \times x=0[/tex], which is meaningless]. ∴ a=0 is incorrect.

Similarly , b≠ 0 [ Reason same as above]. ∴b=0 is incorrect.

⇒3 x=0

⇒x=0 is the correct response.

Let me explain by this giving an example

⇒5 x=0

⇒ x=0 but 5≠0

So, x=0 or 3 x=0 is correct response.
