The system of linear equations 3x - 2y - kz = 10 2x - 4y - 2z = 6 x...
The system of linear equations
is inconsistent if :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
For inconsistent system of equation the conditions should be and at least one of the should not be equal to zero.
Now,
\Delta = \left|\begin{cases}3 & - 2 & - k \\ 2 & - 4 & - 2 \\ 1 & 2 & - 1\end{cases}\right| = 0
And,
{\Delta}_{x} = \left|\begin{cases}10 & - 2 & - 3 \\ 6 & - 4 & - 2 \\ 5m & 2 & - 1\end{cases}\right|
{\Delta}_{y} = \left|\begin{cases}3 & 10 & - 3 \\ 2 & 6 & - 2 \\ 1 & 5m & - 1\end{cases}\right|
{\Delta}_{z} = \left|\begin{cases}3 & - 2 & 10 \\ 2 & - 4 & 6 \\ 1 & 2 & 5m\end{cases}\right|
