Two fair dice are thrown. The numbers on them are taken as λ\lambda and μ,\mu, and a system of linear equations
x+y+z=5x + y + z = 5

x+2y+3z=μx + 2y + 3z = \mu

x+3y+\lambdaz=1x + 3y + \lambdaz = 1
is constructed. If pp is the probability that the system has a unique solution and qq is the probability that the system has no solution, then:

Options

  1. Ap=16p = \dfrac{1}{6} and q=536q = \dfrac{5}{36}
  2. Bp=56p = \dfrac{5}{6} and q=136q = \dfrac{1}{36}
  3. Cp=16p = \dfrac{1}{6} and q=136q = \dfrac{1}{36}
  4. Dp=56p = \dfrac{5}{6} and q=536q = \dfrac{5}{36}

Correct answer

D. p=56p = \dfrac{5}{6} and q=536q = \dfrac{5}{36}

Step-by-step solution

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

{\Delta}_{1} = \left|\begin{cases}1 & 1 & 5 \\ 2 & 3 & \mu \\ 3 & \lambda & 1\end{cases}\right| = 10\lambda + 3\mu - \lambda \mu - 44

{\Delta}_{2} = \left|\begin{cases}1 & 1 & 5 \\ 1 & 3 & \mu \\ 1 & \lambda & 1\end{cases}\right| = 5\lambda + \mu - \lambda \mu - 13

{\Delta}_{3} = \left|\begin{cases}1 & 1 & 5 \\ 1 & 2 & \mu \\ 1 & 3 & 1\end{cases}\right| = - 2\mu + 6

For unique solution
λ≠5,μ∈1,2,3,4,5,6\lambda \ne 5, \mu \in { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }

⇒p=56×1=56⇒ p = \dfrac{5}{6} \times 1 = \dfrac{5}{6}
For No Solution
λ=5,μ≠3\lambda = 5, \mu \ne 3

⇒q=16×56=536⇒ q = \dfrac{1}{6} \times \dfrac{5}{6} = \dfrac{5}{36}
