For the system of linear equations 2 x + 4 y + 2 a z = b x + 2 y + 3 z = 4 2 x + 5 y + 2 z = 8 which of the…

For the system of linear equations

2x+4y+2az=b

x+2y+3z=4

2x+5y+2z=8

which of the following is NOT correct?

  1. It has unique solution if a=b=6

  2. It has infinitely many solutions if a=3, b=6

  3. It has infinitely many solutions if a=3, b=8

  4. It has unique solution if a=b=8

Solution

Given,

System of linear equations,

2x+4y+2az=b

x+2y+3z=4

x+2y+3z=4

Now finding,

=242a1232-52

=-18a-3

Hence, for a=3, =0

Now finding,

3=b2441282-5

3=9b-8

So, for b=8, 3=0

Now solving options we get,

If a=3 and b=8 we'll have infinite solution

For a=8,b=8, 0, 3=0unique solution

For a=b=6, 0, 30 unique solution

 For a=3,b=6 we'll have no solution
