Answer:

Option (iv) is correct.

Explanation:

The linear equation is the equation in which the degree of the equation is 1.

(i) x/3 = 12

As the degree of equation is 1, so, it is a linear equation.

(ii) x + 1 = 6

As the degree of equation is 1, so, it is a linear equation.

(iii) x + y + z = 17

As the degree of equation is 1, so, it is a linear equation.

(iv) x y + x / y = 3

x y^2 + x = 3 y

The degree of equation is 3, so the equation is non linear.
