Q.

Let λ,μR. If the system of equations

3x+5y+λz=3

7x+11y-9z=2

97x+155y-189z=μ

has infinitely many solutions, then μ+2λ is equal to:              [2024]

1 24  
2 27  
3 25  
4 22  

Ans.

(3)

3x+5y+λz=3

7x+11y-9z=2

97x+155y-189z=μ

[35λ711-997155-189][xyz]=[32μ]

AX=B

For infinitely many solutions,

|A|=0 and (adj A)B=0

|35λ711-997155-189|=0

-2052+2250+18λ=0

λ=-11

adj A=[-684-76076450500-501820-2]

(adj A)B=[-684-76076450500-501820-2][32μ]=[000]

54+40-2μ=0

2μ=94 μ=47

Hence, μ+2λ=25
