Q.

If the system of equations

11x+y+λz=-5

2x+3y+5z=3

8x-19y-39z=μ

has infinitely many solutions, then λ4-μ is equal to:               [2024]

1 49  
2 51  
3 47  
4 45  

Ans.

(3)

We have, 11x+y+λz=-5

                   2x+3y+5z=3

                    8x-19y-39z=μ

has infinitely many solutions

                Δ=|111λ2358-19-39|=0

11(-22)-1(-118)+λ(-62)=0

-124-62λ=0

λ=-2

Also, Δ3=|111-52338-19μ|=0

11(3μ+57)-1(2μ-24)-5(-38-24)

31μ+961=0μ=-31

So, λ4-μ=(-2)4+31=16+31=47
