Consider the following system of questions

\alphax+2y+z=1\alphax + 2y + z = 1

2\alphax+3y+z=12\alphax + 3y + z = 1

3x+\alphay+2z=β3x + \alphay + 2z = \beta

For some α,β∈R\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R}. Then which of the following is NOT correct.

Options

  1. AIt has no solution if α=−1\alpha = - 1 and β≠2\beta \ne 2
  2. BIt has no solution for α=−1\alpha = - 1 and for all β∈R\beta \in \mathbb{R}
  3. CIt has no solution for α=3\alpha = 3 and for all β≠2\beta \ne 2
  4. DIt has a solution for all α≠−1\alpha \ne - 1 and β=2\beta = 2

Correct answer

B. It has no solution for α=−1\alpha = - 1 and for all β∈R\beta \in \mathbb{R}

Step-by-step solution

Given,

System of questions

\alphax+2y+z=1\alphax + 2y + z = 1

2\alphax+3y+z=12\alphax + 3y + z = 1

3x+\alphay+2z=β3x + \alphay + 2z = \beta

Now finding, D = \left|\begin{cases}\alpha & 2 & 1 \\ 2\alpha & 3 & 1 \\ 3 & \alpha & 2\end{cases}\right| = 0

⇒α(6−α)−2(4α−3)+1(2α2−9)=0⇒ \alpha ( 6 - \alpha ) - 2 ( 4\alpha - 3 ) + 1 ( 2{\alpha}^{2} - 9 ) = 0

⇒(α−3)(α+1)=0⇒ \left(\alpha - 3\right) ( \alpha + 1 ) = 0

⇒α=−1,3⇒ \alpha = - 1, 3

{D}_{x} = \left|\begin{cases}2 & 1 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \\ \alpha & 2 & \beta\end{cases}\right| = 0 ⇒ \beta = 2

⇒2(β−2)−1(3β−α)+(6−α)=0⇒ 2\left(\beta - 2\right) - 1 ( 3\beta - \alpha ) + ( 6 - \alpha ) = 0

⇒β=2⇒ \beta = 2

{D}_{y} = \left|\begin{cases}\alpha & 1 & 1 \\ 2\alpha & 1 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & \beta\end{cases}\right| = 0

⇒α(β−2)−1(2αβ−3)+1(4α−3)=0⇒ \alpha ( \beta - 2 ) - 1 ( 2\alpha\beta - 3 ) + 1 ( 4\alpha - 3 ) = 0

⇒α(2−β)=0⇒ \alpha ( 2 - \beta ) = 0

⇒α=0,β=2⇒ \alpha = 0, \beta = 2

{D}_{z} = \left|\begin{cases}\alpha & 2 & 1 \\ 2\alpha & 3 & 1 \\ 3 & \alpha & \beta\end{cases}\right| = 0

⇒α2−αβ−3=0⇒ {\alpha}^{2} - \alpha\beta - 3 = 0

Now when β=2,α=−1\beta = 2, \alpha = - 1 the system of equations will have infinite solutions,

When α=3,β=2\alpha = 3, \beta = 2 the system has infinite solution,

And when α=3,β≠2\alpha = 3, \beta \ne 2 the system has no solution as Dx and Dy≠0{D}_{x} \text{ and } {D}_{y} \ne 0 for β≠2\beta \ne 2,

Hence, only option (B)\left(B\right) is not correct
