The system of linear equations

3x−2y−kz=103x - 2y - kz = 10

2x−4y−2z=62x - 4y - 2z = 6

x+2y−z=5mx + 2y - z = 5m
is inconsistent if :

Options

  1. Ak=3,m≠45k = 3, m \ne \dfrac{4}{5}
  2. Bk=3,m=45k = 3, m = \dfrac{4}{5}
  3. Ck≠3,m∈Rk \ne 3, m \in R
  4. Dk≠3,m≠45k \ne 3, m \ne \dfrac{4}{5}

Correct answer

A. k=3,m≠45k = 3, m \ne \dfrac{4}{5}

Step-by-step solution

For inconsistent system of equation the conditions should be ∆=0∆ = 0 and at least one of the ∆xor∆yor∆z{∆}_{x}or{∆}_{y}or{∆}_{z} should not be equal to zero.

Now,

\Delta = \left|\begin{cases}3 & - 2 & - k \\ 2 & - 4 & - 2 \\ 1 & 2 & - 1\end{cases}\right| = 0

⇒24+2(0)−k(8)=0⇒k=3⇒ 24 + 2\left(0\right) - k\left(8\right) = 0 ⇒ k = 3

And,

{\Delta}_{x} = \left|\begin{cases}10 & - 2 & - 3 \\ 6 & - 4 & - 2 \\ 5m & 2 & - 1\end{cases}\right|

⇒∆x=[10(8)−2(−10m+6)−3(12+20m)]⇒ {∆}_{x} = \left[10\left(8\right) - 2\left(- 10m + 6\right) - 3\left(12 + 20m\right)\right]

⇒∆x=8(4−5m)⇒ {∆}_{x} = 8\left(4 - 5m\right)

∆x≠0⇒m≠45{∆}_{x} \ne 0 ⇒ m \ne \dfrac{4}{5}

{\Delta}_{y} = \left|\begin{cases}3 & 10 & - 3 \\ 2 & 6 & - 2 \\ 1 & 5m & - 1\end{cases}\right|

=3(−6+10m)+10(0)−3(10m−6)= 3\left(- 6 + 10m\right) + 10\left(0\right) - 3\left(10m - 6\right)

=0= 0

{\Delta}_{z} = \left|\begin{cases}3 & - 2 & 10 \\ 2 & - 4 & 6 \\ 1 & 2 & 5m\end{cases}\right|

⇒Δz=3(−20m−12)+2(10m−6)+10(4+4)⇒ {\Delta}_{z} = 3\left(- 20m - 12\right) + 2\left(10m - 6\right) + 10\left(4 + 4\right)

⇒Δz=−60m−36+20m−12+80⇒ {\Delta}_{z} = - 60m - 36 + 20m - 12 + 80

⇒Δz=−40m+32⇒ {\Delta}_{z} = - 40m + 32

⇒∆z=8(4−5m)⇒ {∆}_{z} = 8\left(4 - 5m\right)

∆z≠0⇒m≠45{∆}_{z} \ne 0 ⇒ m \ne \dfrac{4}{5}
