For which of the following ordered pairs the system of linear equations
is inconsistent?
is inconsistent?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
D = \left|\begin{cases}3 & 4 & 5 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 4 & 4\end{cases}\right|\left({R}_{3} \to {R}_{3} - 2{R}_{1} + 3{R}_{2}\right)
= \left|\begin{cases}3 & 4 & 5 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0\end{cases}\right| = 0
Now, let If the system has solutions it will have infinite solution, so,
Hence, and
So, for infinite solution
For system to be inconsistent,
So, checking option, satisfies.
