Let [λ] be the greatest integer less than or equal to λ. The set of all values of λ for which the system of linear equations x+y+z=4, 3x+2y+5z=3, 9x+4y+(28+[λ])z=[λ] has a solution is:
  1. R
  2. (-,-9)[-8,)
  3. (-,-9)(-9,)
  4. [-9,-8)

Solution

Given, the system of linear equations, 

x+y+z=4 ........................i

3x+2y+5z=3................ii

9x+4y+(28+[λ]]z=[λ].....................iii

D=1113259428+[λ]

=156+2λ-20-184+3λ-45+112-18 

D=([λ]+9)

If D=-[λ]+90 then unique solution
If D=-[λ]+9=0 then D1=D2=D3=0 infinite solutions

Hence,  λR
