Let SS be the of all column matrices \left[b1b2b3\begin{array}{ll}{b}_{1} \\ {b}_{2} \\ {b}_{3}\end{array}\right] such that b1,b2,b3∈Randthesystemofequations(inrealvariables){b}_{1}, {b}_{2}, {b}_{3} \in \mathbb{R} and the system of equations (in real variables)−x+2y+5z=b12x−4y+3z=b2x−2y+2z=b3\begin{array}{ll}- x + 2y + 5z = {b}_{1} \\ 2x - 4y + 3z = {b}_{2} \\ x - 2y + 2z = {b}_{3}\end{array}has at least one solution. Then, which of the following system(s) (in real variables) has (have) at least one solution of each $\left[\begin{array}{ll}{b}_{1} \\ {b}_{2} \\ {b}_{3}\end{array}$\right]ϵS ?

Options

  1. Ax+2y+3z=b1,4y+5z=b2x + 2y + 3z = {b}_{1}, 4y + 5z = {b}_{2} and x+2y+6z=b3x + 2y + 6z = {b}_{3}
  2. Bx+y+3z=b1,5x+2y+6z=b2x + y + 3z = {b}_{1}, 5x + 2y + 6z = {b}_{2} and −2x−y−3z=b3- 2x - y - 3z = {b}_{3}
  3. C–x+2y−5z=b1,2x−4y+10z=b2– x + 2y - 5z = {b}_{1}, 2x - 4y + 10z = {b}_{2} and x−2y+5z=b3x - 2y + 5z = {b}_{3}
  4. Dx+2y+5z=b1,2x+3z=b2x + 2y + 5z = {b}_{1}, 2x + 3z = {b}_{2} and x+4y−5z=b3x + 4y - 5z = {b}_{3}

Correct answer

A. x+2y+3z=b1,4y+5z=b2x + 2y + 3z = {b}_{1}, 4y + 5z = {b}_{2} and x+2y+6z=b3x + 2y + 6z = {b}_{3}

Step-by-step solution

We find D=0D = 0 & since no pair of planes are parallel, so there are an infinite number of solutions. So, the infinite solutions shall lie on a common line of intersection of these planes. Hence, we can write any plane as a linear combination of other two planes:

αP1−λP2=P3\alpha{P}_{1} - \lambda{P}_{2} = {P}_{3}
⇒⇒ P1+7P2=13P3{P}_{1} + 7{P}_{2} = 13{P}_{3} (by comparing coefficients of x,y,zx, y, z)
⇒⇒ b1+7b2=13b3{b}_{1} + 7{b}_{2} = 13{b}_{3}
(a) D≠0⇒D \ne 0 ⇒ unique solution for any b1,b2,b3{b}_{1}, {b}_{2}, {b}_{3}
(b) D=0D = 0 but P1+7P2≠13P3{P}_{1} + 7{P}_{2} \ne 13{P}_{3}
(c) D=0D = 0 Also as they are parallel planes, they will have at least one solution only if they are all coincident, so that b2=−2b1,b3=−b1{b}_{2} = - 2{b}_{1}, {b}_{3} = - {b}_{1}
So each of b1,b2,b3{b}_{1}, {b}_{2}, {b}_{3} that satisfy b1+7b2=13b3{b}_{1} + 7{b}_{2} = 13{b}_{3}, they don't always need to satisfy b2=−2b1,b3=−b1{b}_{2} = - 2{b}_{1}, {b}_{3} = - {b}_{1}. Hence option is wrong.


(d) D≠0⇒D \ne 0 ⇒ unique solution for any b1,b2,b3{b}_{1}, {b}_{2}, {b}_{3}
