The number of solutions of the equations \(x+y+z=1 ; x^2+y^2+z^2=1 ; x^3+y^3+z^3=1\) is

  1. A \(6\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(9\)
  4. D \(12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x+y+z=1\) \(\begin{aligned} & x^2+y^2+z^2=1 \\ & x^3+y^3+z^3=1\end{aligned}\) It is evident from all 3 that equation satisfies only if 2 of them are zero and third is 1. There are 3 solution sets of \((x, y, z)\) \((0,0,1),(0,1,0)\) and \((1,0,0)\)
