The values of aa and bb, for which the system of equations

2x+3y+6z=82x + 3y + 6z = 8

x+2y+az=5x + 2y + az = 5

3x+5y+9z=b3x + 5y + 9z = b

has no solution, are :

Options

  1. Aa=3,b≠13a = 3, b \ne 13
  2. Ba≠3,b≠13a \ne 3, b \ne 13
  3. Ca≠3,b=3a \ne 3, b = 3
  4. Da=3,b=13a = 3, b = 13

Correct answer

A. a=3,b≠13a = 3, b \ne 13

Step-by-step solution

The given equation is

2x+3y+6z=82x + 3y + 6z = 8

x+2y+az=5x + 2y + az = 5

3x+5y+9z=b3x + 5y + 9z = b

So, D = \left|\begin{cases}2 & 3 & 6 \\ 1 & 2 & a \\ 3 & 5 & 9\end{cases}\right|

=2(18−5a)−3(9−3a)+6(5−6)= 2\left(18 - 5a\right) - 3\left(9 - 3a\right) + 6\left(5 - 6\right)

=36−10a−27+9a+30−36= 36 - 10a - 27 + 9a + 30 - 36

=3−a= 3 - a

{D}_{z} = \left|\begin{cases}2 & 3 & 8 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 \\ 3 & 5 & b\end{cases}\right|

=2(2b−10)−3(b−15)+8(5−6)= 2\left(2b - 10\right) - 3\left(b - 15\right) + 8\left(5 - 6\right)

=4b−20−3b+15+40−48= 4b - 20 - 3b + 15 + 40 - 48

=b−13= b - 13

The system of equation has no solution if D=0 and Dz≠0D = 0 \text{ and } {D}_{z} \ne 0

So, If a=3,b≠13a = 3, b \ne 13, then the system of equation has no solution.
