Solution
We find & since no pair of planes are parallel, so there are an infinite number of solutions. So, the infinite solutions shall lie on a common line of intersection of these planes. Hence, we can write any plane as a linear combination of other two planes:
(by comparing coefficients of )
(a) unique solution for any
(b) but
(c) Also as they are parallel planes, they will have at least one solution only if they are all coincident, so that
So each of that satisfy , they don't always need to satisfy . Hence option is wrong.
(d) unique solution for any
