Correct answer: C

  1. For a system of 3 linear equations in 3 variables to have infinitely many solutions, the third equation must be a linear combination of the first two, and the system must be consistent.

    So let a(11x+y+λz=−5)+b(2x+3y+5z=3)=(8x−19y−39z=μ).a(11x+y+\lambda z=-5)+b(2x+3y+5z=3)=(8x-19y-39z=\mu).a(11x+y+λz=−5)+b(2x+3y+5z=3)=(8x−19y−39z=μ).

  2. Compare coefficients of xxx and yyy: 11a+2b=811a+2b=811a+2b=8 a+3b=−19a+3b=-19a+3b=−19

    Solve these:

    From a=−19−3ba=-19-3ba=−19−3b substitute into the first: 11(−19−3b)+2b=811(-19-3b)+2b=811(−19−3b)+2b=8 −209−33b+2b=8-209-33b+2b=8−209−33b+2b=8 −31b=217-31b=217−31b=217 b=−7b=-7b=−7

    Then a=−19−3(−7)=2.a=-19-3(-7)=2.a=−19−3(−7)=2.

  3. Now compare the coefficient of zzz: aλ+5b=−39a\lambda+5b=-39aλ+5b=−39 2λ+5(−7)=−392\lambda+5(-7)=-392λ+5(−7)=−39 2λ−35=−392\lambda-35=-392λ−35=−39 2λ=−42\lambda=-42λ=−4 λ=−2.\lambda=-2.λ=−2.

  4. Compare the constant terms: a(−5)+b(3)=μa(-5)+b(3)=\mua(−5)+b(3)=μ 2(−5)+(−7)(3)=μ2(-5)+(-7)(3)=\mu2(−5)+(−7)(3)=μ −10−21=μ-10-21=\mu−10−21=μ μ=−31.\mu=-31.μ=−31.

  5. Compute: λ4−μ=(−2)4−(−31)=16+31=47.\lambda^4-\mu=(-2)^4-(-31)=16+31=47.λ4−μ=(−2)4−(−31)=16+31=47.

  6. Therefore, the correct option is 47\boxed{47}47​ i.e. Option C.

  7. Comparison with stored correct answer: Stored correct answer is C, which matches our result.
