Correct answer: B

  1. For a system of 3 linear equations in 3 variables to have infinitely many solutions, we need:

    rank⁡(A)=rank⁡([A∣B])<3\operatorname{rank}(A)=\operatorname{rank}([A|B])<3rank(A)=rank([A∣B])<3

    where A=(2λ332−145μ),B=(579).A=\begin{pmatrix}2&\lambda&3\\3&2&-1\\4&5&\mu\end{pmatrix},\qquad B=\begin{pmatrix}5\\7\\9\end{pmatrix}.A=​234​λ25​3−1μ​​,B=​579​​.

  2. First, for rank to be less than 3, we must have det⁡(A)=0.\det(A)=0.det(A)=0.

    Compute: det⁡(A)=∣2λ332−145μ∣\det(A)=\begin{vmatrix}2&\lambda&3\\3&2&-1\\4&5&\mu\end{vmatrix}det(A)=​234​λ25​3−1μ​​

    Expanding along the first row, det⁡(A)=2∣2−15μ∣−λ∣3−14μ∣+3∣3245∣.\det(A)=2\begin{vmatrix}2&-1\\5&\mu\end{vmatrix}-\lambda\begin{vmatrix}3&-1\\4&\mu\end{vmatrix}+3\begin{vmatrix}3&2\\4&5\end{vmatrix}.det(A)=2​25​−1μ​​−λ​34​−1μ​​+3​34​25​​.

    Now, ∣2−15μ∣=2μ+5,\begin{vmatrix}2&-1\\5&\mu\end{vmatrix}=2\mu+5,​25​−1μ​​=2μ+5, ∣3−14μ∣=3μ+4,\begin{vmatrix}3&-1\\4&\mu\end{vmatrix}=3\mu+4,​34​−1μ​​=3μ+4, ∣3245∣=15−8=7.\begin{vmatrix}3&2\\4&5\end{vmatrix}=15-8=7.​34​25​​=15−8=7.

    Therefore, det⁡(A)=2(2μ+5)−λ(3μ+4)+3(7)\det(A)=2(2\mu+5)-\lambda(3\mu+4)+3(7)det(A)=2(2μ+5)−λ(3μ+4)+3(7) =4μ+10−λ(3μ+4)+21=4\mu+10-\lambda(3\mu+4)+21=4μ+10−λ(3μ+4)+21 =4μ+31−λ(3μ+4).=4\mu+31-\lambda(3\mu+4).=4μ+31−λ(3μ+4).

    So, 4μ+31−λ(3μ+4)=0.(1)4\mu+31-\lambda(3\mu+4)=0. \qquad (1)4μ+31−λ(3μ+4)=0.(1)

  3. For infinitely many solutions, the third equation must be a linear combination of the first two, and the constants must satisfy the same relation.

    Let a(2x+λy+3z=5)+b(3x+2y−z=7)=(4x+5y+μz=9).a(2x+\lambda y+3z=5)+b(3x+2y-z=7)=(4x+5y+\mu z=9).a(2x+λy+3z=5)+b(3x+2y−z=7)=(4x+5y+μz=9).

    Comparing coefficients: 2a+3b=4(2)2a+3b=4 \qquad (2)2a+3b=4(2) λa+2b=5(3)\lambda a+2b=5 \qquad (3)λa+2b=5(3) 3a−b=μ(4)3a-b=\mu \qquad (4)3a−b=μ(4) 5a+7b=9(5)5a+7b=9 \qquad (5)5a+7b=9(5)

  4. Solve for a,ba,ba,b using (2) and (5):

    From (2): 2a+3b=42a+3b=42a+3b=4 From (5): 5a+7b=95a+7b=95a+7b=9

    Multiply first by 5: 10a+15b=2010a+15b=2010a+15b=20 Multiply second by 2: 10a+14b=1810a+14b=1810a+14b=18

    Subtract: b=2.b=2.b=2.

    Then from (2): 2a+3(2)=42a+3(2)=42a+3(2)=4 2a+6=42a+6=42a+6=4 2a=−22a=-22a=−2 a=−1.a=-1.a=−1.

  5. Now use (3) and (4):

    From (3): λ(−1)+2(2)=5\lambda(-1)+2(2)=5λ(−1)+2(2)=5 −λ+4=5-\lambda+4=5−λ+4=5 λ=−1.\lambda=-1.λ=−1.

    From (4): μ=3(−1)−2=−3−2=−5.\mu=3(-1)-2=-3-2=-5.μ=3(−1)−2=−3−2=−5.

  6. Hence, λ2+μ2=(−1)2+(−5)2=1+25=26.\lambda^2+\mu^2=(-1)^2+(-5)^2=1+25=26.λ2+μ2=(−1)2+(−5)2=1+25=26.

  7. Therefore the correct option is B: 26.\boxed{\text{B: }26}.B: 26​.
