The system of equations $\lambda x+ 2y + 2z= 5$ $2\lambda + 3y + 5z= 8 $ $4x+ \lambda y + 6z= 10 $ has |
infinitely many solutions for $\lambda = 8$ infinitely many solutions for $\lambda= 2 $ no solution when $\lambda = 8$ no solution when $\lambda = 2$ |
no solution when $\lambda = 2$ |
The correct answer is option (4) : no solution when $\lambda = 2$ For the given system of equations $\begin{vmatrix}\lambda & 2 & 2\\2\lambda & 3 & 5\\4 & \lambda & 6\end{vmatrix}= ( \lambda +8) (2 - \lambda ), D_1 = \begin{vmatrix}5 & 2 & 2\\8 & 3 & 5\\10 & \lambda & 6\end{vmatrix}= 34- 9 \lambda$ Clearly, D =0 for $\lambda = 2, -8 $ but $D_1≠0$ for these values of $\lambda .$ Hence, the system of equations has no solution for $\lambda =2, -8.$ |
