Q.

If the system of linear equations x-2y+z=-4,2x+αy+3z=5,3x-y+βz=3 has infinitely many solutions, then 12α+13β is equal to               [2024]

1 54  
2 64  
3 58  
4 60  

Ans.

(3)

Given, x-2y+z=-4

2x+αy+3z=5, 3x-y+βz=3

      Δ=|1-212α33-1β|=0

αβ-18-2-3α+3+4β=0=αβ-3α+4β-17=0

       Δy=|1-4125333β|=0

Δy=1(5β-9)+4(2β-9)+1(6-15)

        =5β-9+8β-36+6-15

13β-54=013β=54β=5413

       Δz=|1-2-42α53-13|=0

       Δz=1(3α+5)+2(6-15)-4(-2-3α)

3α+5+12-30+8+12α

15α-5=015α=5α=515=13

So,12α+13β=12×13+544+54=58
