(A) $(i)$ False,because $ax + by + c = 0$ is a linear equation in two variables only if both $a$ and $b$ are non-zero (i.e.,$a^2 + b^2 \neq 0$).
$(ii)$ False,because a linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions.
$(iii)$ False,the points $(2, 0)$ and $(-3, 0)$ lie on the $x$-axis because their $y$-coordinates are $0$. The point $(4, 2)$ lies in the first quadrant,and the point $(0, 5)$ lies on the $y$-axis.
