Question:

For the system of linear equations: \(\begin{aligned}x_{1}+2x_{2}+x_{3}&=4\\2x_{1}+x_{2}+5x_{3}&=5\end{aligned}\). Which one is not true?

Options:

\(x_{1}=2,x_{2}=1,x_{3}=0\)

\(x_{1}=5,x_{2}=0,x_{3}=-1\)

\(x_{1}=0,x_{2}=\frac{5}{3},x_{3}=\frac{2}{3}\)

\(x_{1}=0,x_{2}=2,x_{3}=1\)

Correct Answer:

\(x_{1}=0,x_{2}=2,x_{3}=1\)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → \(x_{1}=0,x_{2}=2,x_{3}=1\)

Putting \(x_{1}=0,x_{2}=2,x_{3}=1\)

$x_1+2x_2+x_3=0+2(2)+1$

$=5≠4$

∴ Not, true.
