Let . If the system of equations has infinitely many solutions, then is equal to :
- A24
- B25
- C27
- D22
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
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.
-
Let us check whether
Comparing coefficients of and :
-
Solve these two equations.
From
Multiply (1) by and (2) by :
Subtract:
Put in (1):
-
Now compare the coefficient of .
Since the third equation must be (first) (second),
-
Compare constants to get :
-
Now compute:
-
Therefore, the correct option is i.e. Option B.
