The system of equation $2x + λy = 8, λx+8y = 3$ has a unique solution if the value of $λ$ is (are): |
$λ≠±4$ $λ= 4$ $λ=-4$ $λ$ is any real number |
$λ≠±4$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $λ≠±4$ Given system: $2x + \lambda y = 8$ $\lambda x + 8y = 3$ For a unique solution, determinant of coefficients ≠ 0: $\begin{vmatrix}2 & \lambda \\ \lambda & 8\end{vmatrix} \ne 0$ $\Rightarrow 16 - \lambda^{2} \ne 0$ $\Rightarrow \lambda^{2} \ne 16$ $\Rightarrow \lambda \ne \pm 4$ Unique solution for $\lambda \ne \pm 4$ |
