Q.

If the system of equations 2x+y-z=5, 2x-5y+λz=μ, x+2y-5z=7

has infinitely many solutions, then (λ+μ)2+(λ-μ)2 is equal to:                  [2023]

1 912  
2 916  
3 904  
4 920  

Ans.

(2)

2x+y-z=5

2x-5y+λz=μ

x+2y-5z=7

The system of equations has infinitely many solutions when Δ=Δ1=Δ2=Δ3=0

Δ=0

|21-12-5λ12-5|=0

2(25-2λ)-1(-10-λ)-1(4+5)=0

50-4λ+10+λ-9=0 -3λ=-51λ=17

Δ3=0

|2152-5μ127|=02(-35-2μ)-1(14-μ)+5(4+5)=0

-70-4μ-14+μ+45=0-3μ=39μ=-13

   (λ+μ)2+(λ-μ)2=(17-13)2+(17+13)2=42+302=16+900=916
