Q.

Let the system of linear equations

x+y+kz=2

2x+3y-z=1

3x+4y+2z=k

have infinitely many solutions. Then the system

(k+1)x+(2k-1)y=7

(2k+1)x+(k+5)y=10

has                                                                      [2023]

1 infinitely many solutions  
2 unique solution satisfying x-y=1  
3 no solution  
4 unique solution satisfying x+y=1  

Ans.

(4)

We have system of linear equations,

x+y+kz=2,

2x+3y-z=1,

3x+4y+2z=k

System has infinitely many solutions, then |A|=0 and (adj A)B=0

Here A=[11k23-1342]

|A|=01(6+4)-1(4+3)+k(8-9)=0

3-k=0,  k=3

For k=3(adj A)B=0

Now, new system will be 4x+5y=7, 7x+8y=10

After solving these two equations, we get x=-2, y=3

x-y=-2-(3)=-5 and x+y=-2+3=1
