Consider the system of equations
where
Statement 1 The probability that the system of equations has a unique solution, is .
Statement 2 The probability that the system of equations has a solution, is 1 .

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
B. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
Step-by-step solution
The number of all possible deteminants of the form

Out of which only 10 determinants given by
vanish and remaining six determinants have non-zero values. Hence, the required probability Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is also correct as the homogeneous equations have always a solution and Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.
