If the system of equations $\begin{array}{r} 11 x+y+\lambda z=-5 \\ 2 x+3 y+5 z=3 \\ 8 x-19 y-39 z=\mu…

If the system of equations $\begin{array}{r} 11 x+y+\lambda z=-5 \\ 2 x+3 y+5 z=3 \\ 8 x-19 y-39 z=\mu \end{array}$ has infinitely many solutions, then $\lambda^4-\mu$ is equal to :
  1. 51
  2. 45
  3. 47
  4. 49

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & 11 x+y+\lambda z=-5 \\ & 2 x+3 y+5 z=3 \\ & 8 x-19 y-39 z=\mu \end{aligned}$ for infinite sol. $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{D}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 11 & 1 & \lambda \\ 2 & 3 & 5 \\ 8 & -19 & -39 \end{array}\right|=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 11(-117+95)-1(-78-40)+\lambda(-38-24) \\ & \Rightarrow 11(-22)+118-\lambda(62)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 62 \lambda=118-242 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{-124}{62}=-2 \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{D}_1=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}-5 & 1 & -2 \\ 3 & 3 & 5 \\ \mu & -19 & -39\end{array}\right|=0 \\ & \Rightarrow-5(-117+95)-1(-117-5 \mu)-2(-57-3 \mu)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow-5(-22)+117+5 \mu+114+6 \mu=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 11 \mu=-110-231=-341 \\ & \Rightarrow \mu=-31 \\ & \lambda^4-\mu=(-2)^4-(-31)=16+31=47\end{aligned}$
