Correct answer: D

We interpret the system as:

{x+2y+3z=34x+3y−4z=48x+4y−λz=9+μ\begin{cases} x+2y+3z=3 \\ 4x+3y-4z=4 \\ 8x+4y-\lambda z=9+\mu \end{cases}⎩⎨⎧​x+2y+3z=34x+3y−4z=48x+4y−λz=9+μ​

For the system to have infinitely many solutions, the third equation must be a linear combination of the first two, and the coefficient matrix must be dependent in a consistent way.

1. Write equations in row form

R1=(1,2,3∣3),R2=(4,3,−4∣4),R3=(8,4,−λ∣9+μ)R_1=(1,2,3\mid 3),\quad R_2=(4,3,-4\mid 4),\quad R_3=(8,4,-\lambda\mid 9+\mu)R1​=(1,2,3∣3),R2​=(4,3,−4∣4),R3​=(8,4,−λ∣9+μ)

For infinitely many solutions, we need

R3=aR1+bR2R_3=aR_1+bR_2R3​=aR1​+bR2​

for some constants a,ba,ba,b.

2. Compare coefficients of xxx and yyy

From the xxx-coefficients:

a+4b=8...(1)a+4b=8 \quad ...(1)a+4b=8...(1)

From the yyy-coefficients:

2a+3b=4...(2)2a+3b=4 \quad ...(2)2a+3b=4...(2)

Solve these:

From (1), a=8−4ba=8-4ba=8−4b

Substitute into (2):

2(8−4b)+3b=42(8-4b)+3b=42(8−4b)+3b=4 16−8b+3b=416-8b+3b=416−8b+3b=4 16−5b=416-5b=416−5b=4 −5b=−12-5b=-12−5b=−12 b=125b=\frac{12}{5}b=512​

Then

a=8−4⋅125=40−485=−85a=8-4\cdot \frac{12}{5}=\frac{40-48}{5}=-\frac{8}{5}a=8−4⋅512​=540−48​=−58​

3. Compare coefficient of zzz

Since

3a−4b=−λ3a-4b=-\lambda3a−4b=−λ

we get

3(−85)−4(125)=−λ3\left(-\frac{8}{5}\right)-4\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)=-\lambda3(−58​)−4(512​)=−λ

−245−485=−λ-\frac{24}{5}-\frac{48}{5}=-\lambda−524​−548​=−λ

−725=−λ-\frac{72}{5}=-\lambda−572​=−λ

Hence,

λ=725\lambda=\frac{72}{5}λ=572​

4. Compare constant terms

Also,

3a+4b=9+μ3a+4b=9+\mu3a+4b=9+μ

So,

3(−85)+4(125)=9+μ3\left(-\frac{8}{5}\right)+4\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)=9+\mu3(−58​)+4(512​)=9+μ

−245+485=9+μ-\frac{24}{5}+\frac{48}{5}=9+\mu−524​+548​=9+μ

245=9+μ\frac{24}{5}=9+\mu524​=9+μ

μ=245−9=245−455=−215\mu=\frac{24}{5}-9=\frac{24}{5}-\frac{45}{5}=-\frac{21}{5}μ=524​−9=524​−545​=−521​

5. Final answer

Therefore,

(λ,μ)=(725,−215)(\lambda,\mu)=\left(\frac{72}{5},-\frac{21}{5}\right)(λ,μ)=(572​,−521​)

This matches Option D.
