If the system of equations

x+y+az=bx + y + az = b

2x+5y+2z=62x + 5y + 2z = 6

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

has infinitely many solutions, then 2a+3b2a + 3b is equal to

  2. B2020
  3. C2323
  4. D2828

Correct answer

C. 2323

Step-by-step solution

Given system of equations are

x+y+az=b.....(i)x + y + az = b . . . . . \left(i\right)

2x+5y+2z=6.....(ii)2x + 5y + 2z = 6 . . . . . \left(ii\right)

x+2y+3z=3.....(iii)x + 2y + 3z = 3 . . . . . \left(iii\right)

It is given that the system of equations have infinite solutions.

⇒∆=0⇒ ∆ = 0

⇒ \left|\begin{cases}1 & 1 & a \\ 2 & 5 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3\end{cases}\right| = 0

⇒1(15−4)−1(6−2)+a(4−5)=0⇒ 1\left(15 - 4\right) - 1\left(6 - 2\right) + a\left(4 - 5\right) = 0

⇒a=7⇒ a = 7

Also, we have ⇒∆1=0⇒ {∆}_{1} = 0

⇒ \left|\begin{cases}b & 1 & a \\ 6 & 5 & 2 \\ 3 & 2 & 3\end{cases}\right| = 0

⇒b(15−4)−1(18−6)+7(12−15)=0⇒ b\left(15 - 4\right) - 1\left(18 - 6\right) + 7\left(12 - 15\right) = 0

⇒b=3⇒ b = 3

∴a=7,b=3∴ a = 7, b = 3

∴2a+3b∴ 2a + 3b=14+9=23= 14 + 9 = 23

Hence, this is the correct option.
