For the system of linear equations

2x+4y+2az=b2x + 4y + 2az = b

x+2y+3z=4x + 2y + 3z = 4

2x+5y+2z=82x + 5y + 2z = 8

which of the following is NOTNOT correct?

Options

  1. A

    It has unique solution if a=b=6a = b = 6

  2. B

    It has infinitely many solutions if a=3,b=6a = 3, b = 6

  3. C

    It has infinitely many solutions if a=3,b=8a = 3, b = 8

  4. D

    It has unique solution if a=b=8a = b = 8

Correct answer

B.

It has infinitely many solutions if a=3,b=6a = 3, b = 6

Step-by-step solution

Given,

System of linear equations,

2x+4y+2az=b2x + 4y + 2az = b

x+2y+3z=4x + 2y + 3z = 4

x+2y+3z=4x + 2y + 3z = 4

Now finding,

△ = \left|\begin{cases}2 & 4 & 2a \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & - 5 & 2\end{cases}\right|

⇒△=−18(a−3)⇒ △ = - 18\left(a - 3\right)

Hence, for a=3,△=0a = 3, △ = 0

Now finding,

{△}_{3} = \left|\begin{cases}b & 2 & 4 \\ 4 & 1 & 2 \\ 8 & 2 & - 5\end{cases}\right|

⇒△3=9(b−8)⇒ {△}_{3} = 9\left(b - 8\right)

So, for b=8,△3=0b = 8, {△}_{3} = 0

Now solving options we get,

If a=3a = 3 and b=8b = 8 we'll have infinite solution

For a=8,b=8,△≠0,△3=0⇒a = 8, b = 8, △ \ne 0, {△}_{3} = 0 ⇒unique solution

For a=b=6,△≠0,△3≠0⇒a = b = 6, △ \ne 0, {△}_{3} \ne 0 ⇒ unique solution

∴∴ For a=3,b=6a = 3, b = 6 we'll have no solution
