For the system of equations x + y + z = 6 x + 2y + = 10 x + 3y + 5z...

For the system of equations

x+y+z=6x + y + z = 6

x+2y+\alphaz=10x + 2y + \alphaz = 10

x+3y+5z=βx + 3y + 5z = \beta, which one of the following is NOT true?

Options

  1. ASystem has no solution for α=3,β=24\alpha = 3, \beta = 24
  2. BSystem has a unique solution for α=−3,β=14\alpha = - 3, \beta = 14
  3. CSystem has infinitely many solutions for α=3,β=14\alpha = 3, \beta = 14
  4. DSystem has a unique solution for α=3,β≠14\alpha = 3, \beta \ne 14

Correct answer

D. System has a unique solution for α=3,β≠14\alpha = 3, \beta \ne 14

Step-by-step solution

Given, the system of equations

x+y+z=6x + y + z = 6

x+2y+\alphaz=10x + 2y + \alphaz = 10

x+3y+5z=βx + 3y + 5z = \beta

Now finding,

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

⇒△=1(10−3α)−(5−α)+(3−2)⇒ △ = 1\left(10 - 3\alpha\right) - \left(5 - \alpha\right) + \left(3 - 2\right)

⇒△=6−2α⇒ △ = 6 - 2\alpha

Now for unique solution, △≠0⇒α≠3△ \ne 0 ⇒ \alpha \ne 3

So, for unique solution ⇒α≠3⇒ \alpha \ne 3

But in option \left(D\right),systemhasuniquesolutionfor, system has unique solution for\alpha = 3 which is completely wrong.
