If the system of equations x + y + z = 2 2 x + 4 y - z = 6 3 x + 2 y + λ z = μ has infinitely many solutions, then :
Options
- A  λ + 2 μ = 14
- B2 λ - μ = 5
- Cλ - 2 μ = - 5
- D2 λ + μ = 14
Correct answer
D. 2 λ + μ = 14
Step-by-step solution
For infinitely many solutions, all determinants should be zero. D = 1 1 1 2 4 - 1 3 2 λ = 0 ⇒ λ = 9 2 D 3 = 1 1 2 2 4 6 3 2 μ = 0 ⇒ μ = 5 Now check each option
