The system of equations |
$λ=5, μ$ can be any real number $λ= 5,μ ≠20$ $λ≠5, μ$ can be any real number $λ=5,μ = 20$ |
$λ≠5, μ$ can be any real number |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $λ≠5, μ$ can be any real number $\text{System: }x+y+z=4,\;x+2y+3z=12,\;x+3y+\lambda z=\mu$ $\text{Coefficient matrix }A=\begin{pmatrix}1&1&1\\1&2&3\\1&3&\lambda\end{pmatrix}$ $\det A=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&1\\1&2&3\\1&3&\lambda\end{vmatrix} =(2\lambda-9)-( \lambda-3)+1=\lambda-5$ $\text{Unique solution } \iff \det A\ne0 \iff \lambda\ne5$ $\lambda\ne5\;(\mu\in\mathbb{R})$ |
