Consider the following system of questions α x + 2 y + z = 1 2 α x + 3 y + z = 1 3 x + α y +…

Consider the following system of questions

αx+2y+z=1

2αx+3y+z=1

3x+αy+2z=β

For some α,β. Then which of the following is NOT correct.

  1. It has no solution if α=-1 and β2
  2. It has no solution for α=-1 and for all β
  3. It has no solution for α=3 and for all β2
  4. It has a solution for all α-1 and β=2

Solution

Given,

System of questions

αx+2y+z=1

2αx+3y+z=1

3x+αy+2z=β

Now finding, D=α212α313α2=0

α(6-α)-2(4α-3)+1(2α2-9)=0

α-3(α+1)=0

α=-1,3

Dx=211311α2β=0β=2

2β-2-1(3β-α)+(6-α)=0

β=2

Dy=α112α1132β=0

α(β-2)-1(2αβ-3)+1(4α-3)=0

α(2-β)=0

α=0,β=2

Dz=α212α313αβ=0

α2-αβ-3=0

Now when β=2,α=-1 the system of equations will have infinite solutions,

When α=3, β=2 the system has infinite solution,

And when α=3, β2 the system has no solution as Dx & Dy0 for β2,

Hence, only option B is not correct
