For the system of linear equations ax + y + z = 1 , x + ay + z = 1,...

For the system of linear equations ax+y+z=1ax + y + z = 1, x+ay+z=1,x+y+az=βx + ay + z = 1, x + y + az = \beta, which one of the following statements is NOT correct?

Options

  1. AIt has infinitely many solutions if α=2\alpha = 2 and β=−1\beta = - 1
  2. BIt has no solution if α=−2\alpha = - 2 and β=1\beta = 1
  3. Cx+y+z=34x + y + z = \dfrac{3}{4} if α=2\alpha = 2 and β=1\beta = 1
  4. DIt has infinitely many solutions if α=1\alpha = 1 and β=1\beta = 1

Correct answer

A. It has infinitely many solutions if α=2\alpha = 2 and β=−1\beta = - 1

Step-by-step solution

For infinite solution ∆=∆x=∆y=∆z=0∆ = {∆}_{x} = {∆}_{y} = {∆}_{z} = 0

∆ = \left|\begin{cases}\alpha & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \alpha & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & \alpha\end{cases}\right| = 0

α(α2−1)−1(α−1)+1(1−α)=0\alpha\left({\alpha}^{2} - 1\right) - 1\left(\alpha - 1\right) + 1\left(1 - \alpha\right) = 0

⇒α3−3α+2=0⇒ {\alpha}^{3} - 3\alpha + 2 = 0

⇒α2(α−1)+α(α−1)−2(α−1)=0⇒ {\alpha}^{2}\left(\alpha - 1\right) + \alpha\left(\alpha - 1\right) - 2\left(\alpha - 1\right) = 0

⇒(α−1)(α2+α−2)=0⇒ \left(\alpha - 1\right)\left({\alpha}^{2} + \alpha - 2\right) = 0

⇒α=1,α=−2,1⇒ \alpha = 1, \alpha = - 2, 1

If β=1\beta = 1, then all planes are overlapping

∴∴ option (d) is correct.

Put α=2,β=1\alpha = 2, \beta = 1 the system equations as,

2x+y+z=12x + y + z = 1

x+2y+z=1x + 2y + z = 1

x+y+2z=1x + y + 2z = 1

Adding all three above equations we get,

x+y+z=34x + y + z = \dfrac{3}{4}

∴∴ option (c) is correct.

Now, if α=−2,β=1\alpha = - 2, \beta = 1 then,

∆=0,∆x≠0∆ = 0, {∆}_{x} \ne 0 (No solution)

∴∴ option (b) is correct.

Now, if α=2\alpha = 2

∆≠0∆ \ne 0 (unique solution exists)

∴∴ option (a) is incorrect
