Correct answer: D
- For the system to have infinitely many solutions, the three equations must be consistent and dependent.
The equations are:
So the augmented matrix must have rank less than 3, i.e. the third row should be a linear combination of the first two, and the constants must satisfy the same relation.
- First check dependence of the coefficient rows:
Let Assume Then comparing coordinates:
From the first two equations: Then Check third: which is true.
Hence, So for consistency with infinitely many solutions, the constants must also satisfy: That is,
Thus, (up to order).
- Now compute
Using standard formulas:
Therefore,
- Hence the correct option is: which is Option D.
