Q.

The values of m,n for which the system of equationsx+y+z=4, 2x+5y+5z=17, x+2y+mz=n has infinitely many solutions, satisfy the equation:               [2024]

1 m2+n2+mn=68  
2 m2+n2-m-n=46  
3 m2+n2-mn=39  
4 m2+n2+m+n=64  

Ans.

(3)

Since the system of equations has infinitely many solutions

    Δ=0 and Δ3=0

|11125512m|=0 and |114251712n|=0

(5m-10)-(2m-5)+(-1)=0 and (5n-34)-(2n-17)+4(-1)=0

3m-6=0 and 3n-21=0

m=2 and n=7

Clearly m2+n2-mn=4+49-14=39
