- A= 3, = 5
- B= 3, 10
- C2, = 10
- D= 2, 10

Correct answer: D
- Write the system in matrix form:
Coefficient matrix:
For the system to have no solution, we need:
- (so the equations are dependent/inconsistent possible), and
- the augmented system must be inconsistent.
- Compute the determinant:
Expanding along the first row,
So,
- Substitute into the third equation:
Now compare with the first two equations.
From the first equation,
Multiply by :
Subtract the third equation from this relation is not immediately helpful, so instead solve dependency directly.
Take equation (2) minus equation (1):
Using equation (1):
Then the left side of equation (3) with becomes
Thus equation (3) becomes
- If , the third equation is consistent with the first two, so infinitely many solutions exist.
- If , the third equation contradicts the first two, so there is no solution.
- Therefore, for no solution:
- Check options:
- A: → , unique solution, not correct.
- B: → still , not correct.
- C: → generally unique solution, not correct.
- D: → gives no solution, correct.
Hence the correct option is D.
