For the system of linear equations 2 x - y + 3 z = 5 3 x + 2 y - z = 7 4 x + 5 y + α z = β , which…

For the system of linear equations

2x-y+3z=5

3x+2y-z=7

4x+5y+αz=β,

which of the following is NOT correct?

  1. The system has infinitely many solutions for α=5 and β=9
  2. The system has infinitely many solutions for α=-6 and β=9
  3. The system in inconsistent for α=5 and β=8
  4. The system has a unique solution for α5 and β=8

Solution

Given,

For the system of linear equations

2x-y+3z=5

3x+2y-z=7

4x+5y+αz=β,

Now finding,

D=2-1332-145α

D=22α+5+3α+4+37

D=7α+35

Now we know that, for unique solutionD0α5

So, in option B α=6 corresponds to infinitely many solution, which is completely wrong hence, this is answer.
