If the system of equations α x + y + z = 5 , x + 2 y + 3 z = 4 , x + 3 y + 5 z = β . Has…

If the system of equations αx+y+z=5,x+2y+3z=4,x+3y+5z=β. Has infinitely many solutions, then the ordered pair α,β is equal to
  1. 1,-3
  2. -1,3
  3. 1,3
  4. -1,-3

Solution

We know that, for infinitely many solutions,

Δ=0=Δx=Δy=Δz

So, Δ=α11123135=0

α10-9-15-3+13-2=0

α-2+1=0

α=1

Now checking for Δx=511423β35=0

510-9-120-3β+112-2β

5-20+3β+12-2β

-3+β=0

β=3

Hence α,β=1,3
