Question:

The system AX = B of n equations in n unknowns has infinitely many solutions if

Options:

det A ≠ 0

det A = 0, (adjA)B ≠ O

det A = 0, (adjA)B = O

det A ≠ 0, (adjA)B = O

Correct Answer:

det A = 0, (adjA)B = O

Explanation:

X = A^–1B

or, $X =\frac{(adjA).B}{|A|}$ .

Clearly if the system has infinite solutions |A| = 0 and (adj A)B = O.

Hence (C) is the correct answer.
