the following matrix is a reduced augmented matrix obtained from a system of equations. The system has ____ solutions?

1 0 3 -5 |7
0 1 -2 0 |4
0 0 0 0 |0
0 0 0 0 |0
THE RANK OF COEFFICIENT MATRIX=2 < 4 THE ORDER....SO IT HAS EITHER ZERO
OR INFINITE SOLUTIONS.
RANK OF AUGMENTED MATRIX = 2 = RANK OF COEFFICIENT MATRIX
HENCE THE SYSTEM IS CONSISTENT.
HENCE IT HAS INFINITE SOLUTIONS
A. One
B. Two
C. Infinite
D. No
