Correct answer: B

  1. For the system to have infinitely many solutions, the three equations must be dependent and consistent.

    So, the third equation must be a linear combination of the first two.

  2. Let us check whether a(3x+5y+λz=3)+b(7x+11y−9z=2)=(97x+155y−189z=μ).a(3x+5y+\lambda z=3)+b(7x+11y-9z=2)=(97x+155y-189z=\mu).a(3x+5y+λz=3)+b(7x+11y−9z=2)=(97x+155y−189z=μ).

    Comparing coefficients of xxx and yyy: 3a+7b=973a+7b=973a+7b=97 5a+11b=1555a+11b=1555a+11b=155

  3. Solve these two equations.

    From 3a+7b=97...(1)3a+7b=97 \quad ...(1)3a+7b=97...(1) 5a+11b=155...(2)5a+11b=155 \quad ...(2)5a+11b=155...(2)

    Multiply (1) by 555 and (2) by 333: 15a+35b=48515a+35b=48515a+35b=485 15a+33b=46515a+33b=46515a+33b=465

    Subtract: 2b=20⇒b=102b=20 \Rightarrow b=102b=20⇒b=10

    Put in (1): 3a+70=97⇒3a=27⇒a=93a+70=97 \Rightarrow 3a=27 \Rightarrow a=93a+70=97⇒3a=27⇒a=9

  4. Now compare the coefficient of zzz.

    Since the third equation must be 9×9\times9×(first) +10×+10\times+10×(second), 9λ+10(−9)=−1899\lambda +10(-9)=-1899λ+10(−9)=−189 9λ−90=−1899\lambda-90=-1899λ−90=−189 9λ=−999\lambda=-999λ=−99 λ=−11\lambda=-11λ=−11

  5. Compare constants to get μ\muμ: μ=9(3)+10(2)=27+20=47\mu=9(3)+10(2)=27+20=47μ=9(3)+10(2)=27+20=47

  6. Now compute: μ+2λ=47+2(−11)=47−22=25\mu+2\lambda=47+2(-11)=47-22=25μ+2λ=47+2(−11)=47−22=25

  7. Therefore, the correct option is 25\boxed{25}25​ i.e. Option B.
