JEE Advanced2008MathematicsDeterminantsActual
Consider the system of equations x-2 y+3 z=-1, x-3 y+4 z=1 and -x+y-2 z=k Statement 1 The system of equations has no solution for k 3 . Statement 2 The determinant | array ccc 1 & 3 & -1 -1 & -2 & k 1 & 4 & 1 array | 0 , for k 3 .
Options
- AStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- BStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- CStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- DStatement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Correct answer
A. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
Step-by-step solution
The given system of equations can be expressed as When k 3 , the given system of equations has no solution. Statement 1 is true.Clearly, Statement 2 is also true as it is rearrangement of rows and columns of Hence, option (a) is correct.
