If the system of equations, $x+ y + z= 2 $ $2x+ 4y -z= 6 $ $3x+ 2y + \lambda z= \mu $ has infinitely many solutions, then |
$\lambda + 2\mu = 14$ $2\lambda - \mu = 5$ $2\lambda + \mu = 14$ $\lambda - 2\mu = 14$ |
$2\lambda + \mu = 14$ |
The correct answer is option (3) : $2\lambda + \mu = 14$ If the given system of equations has infinitely many solutions, then $D= D_1= D_2= D_3= 0.$ Now, $D=0⇒\begin{vmatrix}1 & 1 & 1\\2 & 4 & -1\\3 & 2 & \lambda \end{vmatrix}=0 ⇒\lambda =\frac{9}{2}$ and $D_3= 0 ⇒\begin{vmatrix}1 & 1 & 2\\2 & 4 & 6\\3 & 2 & \mu \end{vmatrix}=0 ⇒\mu = 5 $ Hence, $2\lambda + \mu = 14.$ |
